@precisely.this: The company created the image. But somehow, the person who recognizes it becomes the problem. If you don’t see it, you’re the problem. #advertisement #emotionalarchitecture

thewerkingwriter :

What do they gain by doing this? What is the real motive?

NivianneThana :

Rodney Rambo, chief marketing officer of Converse and a black man, approved the converse ad. If you’re looking for racism you’re gonna find it. Just like if I’m looking for a snowman in the clouds I’m gonna find one.

Just Chris ❌ :

The outcome: the ad gets the viral effect they wanted. They believe any attention brings profit.

Bruce Wayne’s mother :

It’s more mass scale psychological abuse! Our society is being abused by the rich!!!

swoosh company owns star company

HeyMsE :

Thank you for saying the black part out loud. 💜

Batsu The Gamer :

lemme just say this: I worked in advertising. do yall know how many levels it goes through before it hits screens? I would write an ad. we would have 5 LEVEL S of higher ups review it. only then would it get approved. and we had a diverse upper echelon. they. knew.

FemmeLez :

Thank you for speaking up!

YT: @SimplyHealthyWomb :

So we are not crazy for what we saw? I was like what the heck!

AerithRain :

I’m not burning the ones I have. I will continue to wear them bc they’re the only shoes I have that are breathable and closed toe. But they are my last. When it comes time to replace, I will do so with a different shoe

Craughing :

It makes me wonder if they thought so many of us loyal wearers are in "that" demographic... because ewwww. Only thing I've worn in years, currently looking at new brands.

𝟠𝟞𝟜𝟟𝕦𝕤𝕒 :

Negative advertising produces puzz

djrirbfqos :

So it feels like gaslighting bc it absolutely, intentionally...is.

fancyfembot :

That is disgusting.

Jai ✨ Quantum Theory + Writing :

It’s also makes it clear who THEY DON’T want to purchase the product. And the “ideal buyer” will. This is why I saw it and it clearly repelled the group they don’t want to participate. But this is what it’s always been. But if I call it terr0rism then I’m wrong. That triggered FEAR.

Kitten :

Yup 😮‍💨 and I fear the lack of media literacy and critical thinking isn’t helping either. I’m a zillenial and the first thing I thought of when I saw the ad was oh no. Oh no no no why are we doing this not you too 😮‍💨😭 and then I saw their insta post and I was like 🙃🔥 this has to be the bad place right? Like there’s no way this timeline is this bad 😭😭😭 safe to say I will not be buying new ones from them and will use my old pairs from around 2015-18 until they fall apart 😵‍💫 also I know that this is the message that the company wanted out there too by the amount of bots or just people saying it’s not that deep. It’s media, everything is thought of down to the lighting. It absolutely is that deep 😬🔥

Laura :

Honestly, I think anyone who claims they cant see it is lying their ssa off and that company knew exactly what they were doing.

bigblockk :

We just appreciate those who show us upfront who you are.. Makes it easy for us and yall can do all the guess work. Most of us understand the assignment immediately...

diamondnzeruff :

Thank you cuz they won’t listen to us

SlimHem :

my question is.. what is it "supposed" to show if not that?

a d r i e n n e :

So distressing & sinister

TeacherALesson :
