It’s an Asian made ad for the Asian market of converse you can not apply American history to it and call it a “ dog whistle “

Who wears a white robe with Converse???? No one. This is blatant.

Is it possible it wasn’t intentional, but that NOT noticing it was just suuuuuuper negligent ?

What matters is my brain sees it before i do. Every time ive seen this image i have a visceral reaction before i even really look at it.

I saw it...as an artist. there was an intent to invoke a response....even if negative.

another video I watch about it had a perfect commentary dogwhistles are meant to be subtle they're meant to make you question if that's what you think it is because they're trying to get away with it and get it past you.

This wasn’t the image. This is a manipulated cropped image. The original is a Korean ad from months ago

Political Ravings :
Intentional, like the intention to crop the original photo, the intention to increase the contrast and darken the shadows to obscure the hand making it look like legs, the intention to make the top point of the star prominent as the focal point in the frame. All choices that can be hand waved away as "it looked better," but we're Intentional choices nonetheless.

it's very unique piece.. as an artist I see the art but I can also see the subliminal messaging or what could be seen as subliminal messaging within the piece which is what is upsetting the world.. they did do it on purpose I feel especially with what is going on in the world... I would definitely say this is a political movement piece.

I mean all communication itself is intent, encoding, reception, and decoding.

the way that we ALL saw the same thing means is shouldn't have gotten past all the people green lighting it

Thank you for this video because when I tell people I’ve been working in advertising for 30+ years, I’m a creative director and these things are very intentional… And this is a marketing technique for engagement to revive a brand NO one is talking about or paying attention to… People seem to not believe me… When I’m in those rooms hearing their strategy 🙄… awful strategy at that, but it all comes down to who’s approving.

The skirt couldve been black with the white light shining on it in the triangle to finish creating the star point. (So the light itself, not the skirt, finishes the star.) Everything couldve been inverse. The shoes could've been held w a different grip. There were many ways to do this ad, but they chose all these details and it looks like a hood and hanging.

Really smart and educated on the topic guy with some interesting examples, thank you. So many little things in art that mean more than the average viewer sees. Fascinating and kind of frightening.

If we take it at face value, what about that image is supposed to make me want to buy those shoes?

I used to work in corporate marketing and I know history. I had a visceral reaction to the implications within this ad. The dog whistles keep getting louder.
