Donald Trump should make getting this comic book back in circulation a key policy of his administration.

WION News:

A Belgian publisher has withdrawn the sale of a comic book after controversy erupted over the books’ racist depiction of black people and ‘hyper-sexualised’ images of women.

The publisher Dupuis announced that its graphic novel, Spirou and the Blue Gorgon, would be removed from shops after the book was called out on social media.

In an announcement last week, Dupuis said it was “profoundly sorry if this album has been shocking and hurtful”, adding that it had been done in a “caricatured style of representation from another era”.

The publisher added that it was “more aware than ever of our moral duty and the importance of comics,” adding: “We take full responsibility today for this error of judgment.”

Spirou and the Blue Gorgon, a satirical tale of so-called “eco-terrorists”, junk food and plastic rubbish, was first published in September 2023. The comic book was widely reviewed in the Francophone press back at the time of its release, and there was no controversy around it.

However, in October 2024, a TikTok video denounced its portrayal of black people and women. The viral video led to a great deal of criticism. One internet user noted that all the white characters were human beings, while black characters were depicted as monkeys in the book. The user also pointed out that the women were typically drawn with plunging cleavage and tiny waists, and were “hyper-sexualised”.

After the publisher’s decision, local media reported that approximately 30,000 copies would be removed from sale, a decision said to be the first of its kind in Belgium.

It’s not actually the publisher’s decision. That’s a technicality.

In white countries, companies rightly fear the government will come after them if they break the rules of political correctness.

That’s actually what’s happening. No one wants to be in the crosshairs of one of these vaginal governments. They will totally destroy you.

Do you think Tintin will still be published when whites are a minority in Belgium?

Please stop with this woman shit.

Please, just stop.

It doesn’t work.

Stop with the woman shit, and stop with the Alex Jones blaming Arabs for things Jews do.

ANSA:

Centre-left politician and rights activist Anna Paola Concia is to coordinate the ‘Educating in Relationship’ project aiming to tackle gender-based violence (GBV) in Italian schools, Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara told the parliamentary commission of enquiry on femicide during a hearing on Thursday.

Concia, a member of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), has always supported the rights of women and of the LGBT community in Italy and abroad.

Italy’s first openly lesbian lawmaker during the 2008-2013 parliament, in recent years she has brought Didacta Italia, the spin-off of Didacta Germany, the world’s most important event on the school of the future, to Italy.

“I have been working with Valditara since he became minister and we get on very well,” Concia told ANSA following the announcement.

“We have also discussed the issue of violence against women, when we first met he said he wanted to create a project against gender violence, on the culture of respect.

“Then he asked me to lead ‘Educating in Relationships’ and I accepted. I have been doing battles for 30 years and now an education minister wants to make a serious commitment on this issue.I am happy,” she added.

“I will put all my experience at the disposal of the country and of an important battle to be fought, which does not have to have a political colour.

“I am doing this for all women, for Giulia (Cecchettin, ed.) and for the new generations. I would like to involve Giulia Cecchettin’s father,” concluded Concia.

The bitch with her “wife,” Ricarda Trautmann, who may or may not be Jewish

The project ‘Educating in Relationships’ took its cue from high-profile events before the summer involving GBV and was presented officially in the aftermath of the femicide of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin by her former boyfriend on November 11.

“A big mobilisation is underway, for the first time in Italy an experiment of this kind is being conducted to address the issue of sexism, machismo and psychological and physical violence against women,” said Valditara presenting the project in the Senate.

The minister said the scheme includes civic education from elementary to high school and a specific project targeting high school students through discussion groups.

Teachers are also being asked to introduce the culture of respect in all school activities, he added.

Yep yep yep.

Big respect.

Everyone has nothing but respect.

We’re just… very tired. 

Do any of these science bitches even try to pretend they’re doing any actual science?

Because as far as I can tell, every single one of them is doing nothing but renaming “problematic” things, whining about sexism, or doing campaigns to get more girls to play with Legos.

Women are basically being allowed to play dolly at major corporations and academic institutions.

I know women have no shame, but you’d think at least some of them would be smart enough to realize there’s gonna be a backlash at some point – even if it’s only about the amount of money that has been wasted.

Daily Mail:

The guidelines for naming a planet’s surface features are not inclusive enough and are biased towards men, an academic has said, as research shows fewer than 2% of Mars’s craters are named after women.

Is she an academic? Or is she just a nagging cunt who was pushed through the education system based on her fantastic abilities for route-memorization who is now playing dolly in academia?

(Rhetorical question, by the way.)

An analysis of the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) database has also revealed that only 32 (2%) out of 1,578 known Moon craters bear a woman’s name.

…

In an open letter published in the journal Nature Astronomy, Annie Lennox, a doctoral researcher at The Open University, said the male-biased culture of naming planetary features ‘inherently disadvantages women and marginalised groups’.

She is urging the IAU – an international association of professional astronomers – to change its policies which are ‘biased towards cisgender (cis) white men’.

Can you believe this is named after some Dutch guy? I’m appalled.

Ms Lennox, from Aberdeenshire, said: ‘Space exploration has revealed worlds of rock, of ice and… metal.

‘For all the worlds in our solar system, it has become customary to name prominent surface features such as craters.

‘Distant craters on the Moon, Mars and Mercury record a history much closer to home: celebrating the achievements of mankind, and to a much lesser extent womankind.’

Bitch, shut up.

You are nagging like a Jew.

No one is interested.

Men are doing real, adult work, and you need to leave them alone.

This is not dolly’s playhouse.

Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli first started naming lunar craters in 1635, adopting the names of famous scientists for his discoveries – a convention still maintained by the IAU today, Ms Lennox said.

While the IAU does not bestow the names itself, it does help establish working groups or task forces to propose and approve names for specific features based on certain guidelines – often honouring historical figures or mythology or cultural themes.

Ms Lennox said IAU’s guidelines have an impact on the diversity and inclusivity of the scientific communities that ultimately choose the names.

That’s a non sequitur.

Women are not in this field because they are not good at it and they do not care about it.

It’s the same reasons women are not in most male fields, the same reason they do not rank in chess or Fortnite.

It’s also the same reason men do not play with dollies or go around nagging everyone.

Men and women are very different.

This is the same university that ran out multiple teachers for not believing women have dicks

Cops need to understand: women are not helpless little fragile creatures.

You can beat them, throw them on the ground, choke them – just the same as you would a man*.

The Guardian:

Esther Flanagan has a job on her hands. The behavioural scientist has been tasked with the seemingly impossible: to get police forces across England and Wales to “quit” misogyny and sexism, using similar tactics to those deployed in the major push to reduce smoking in the UK. But she doesn’t seem fazed.

“It’s about making more informed, evidence-based choices and focusing on the things that are most likely to change behaviour,” she says. “It’s not rocket science, it’s behavioural science.”

Esther Flanagan

A new initiative designed to combat entrenched sexism and misogyny in policing will use a similar approach to a big government-led push to reduce smoking in England, which resulted in a drastic fall in the number of smokers.

“Different levers were drawn on at the same time to change the same behaviour – and there’s evidence to show that that’s why it worked,” says Flanagan. “That’s exactly what we’re trying to do with sexism and misogyny. We’re going to tap into all of those levers across the system to give ourselves the best chance of shifting that behaviour.”

The move comes after a torrid period for policing. The murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens, and then the jailing of serial rapist David Carrick, a Metropolitan firearms officer, has destroyed trust among women and girls.

A Savanta poll in March found that more than half of women did not trust the police’s ability to keep them safe. A landmark report by Lady Casey found the Metropolitan police, the largest force in England and Wales, was institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic.

Andy Marsh, the head of the College of Policing, which is steering the behavioural science initiative across forces in England and Wales, is careful when asked if he agrees with the Met commissioner on that finding.

“Policing has got a deeply embedded cultural problem, which we need to address if we are to win the trust of women in policing and women who are victims of crime,” he says, pointedly. “We haven’t always listened. We haven’t always understood. And we haven’t always responded appropriately.”

The programme is a recognition of the scale of the problem, he says. In any case, labelling a problem isn’t enough to address it, he believes. “I was in the police when they did declare it institutionally racist and training was mandated,” he says, referring to the McPherson report commissioned after the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence. “I witnessed big groups of police officers being told what was right and wrong and how they should behave. Did that help? I don’t think it did.”

So why will this new programme, to be piloted and then rolled out across 43 forces as soon as this winter, work when countless others have failed?

Because it is constructed around interventions that change behaviour, not ones that sound good on paper, says Flanagan. She has spent the last year speaking to officers and reviewing research on sexism. “I think it’s fair to say that a lot of male colleagues have been shocked by what they’ve heard from women,” says Marsh.

Flanagan’s research identified 220 behaviours related to sexism and misogyny within police forces, and 120 barriers in the way of better behaviour. These include a culture of solidarity that protects perpetrators such as Couzens, reportedly nicknamed “the rapist” among colleagues. It also found that officers do not trust that reports will be taken seriously or kept confidential. As in the rest of society, low-level sexism is everywhere.

The plan includes a range of interventions, from making it easier and safer for officers to report bad behaviour by colleagues, and protecting those who do, to “red-flag” training for leaders and career boosts for officers who demonstrate inclusivity.

Officers will also be put through immersive training, where they have to act out how to confront sexism, in the same way they are trained to deal with rowdy protesters.

So snitching and struggle sessions?

That’s the best they could come up with?

But the messaging of change will be as important as giving officers the tools to confront sexism, says Flanagan. While the instinct of critics – and many senior officers – may be to blast officers with messages of zero tolerance to sexism, there’s no point if it won’t work, she argues.

“If you look at behavioural psychology … some people might experience that as a threat to their personal freedom. They might feel blamed for wrongdoing. And actually, they might discredit the message altogether, because it feels like an attack, and then seek to protect the status quo.”

Instead, messages tune into the “emotional stuff” and focus on common goals, stressing that all staff have a choice. “You can reduce that defensiveness, but also be very clear about what it is you expect people to do,” she says.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

I guess the Paki mayor’s campaign didn’t work after all

*It’s the opposite of reality that learning about “sexism” means that women can be treated like men. There is no place where women are allowed to be treated like men, in any way at all. “Feminism” is about privileges going both ways – they get more power than men, and have less responsibility. 

We used to have a system worked out in society where women had fewer rights than men, and fewer responsibilities. But it was less extreme in both directions. For example, if a woman committed a murder, she would be punished less severely, as she has less agency than a man and is therefore less capable of decision-making. On the other end, if a woman started saying that she only had sex with Harvey Weinstein because of “power dynamics,” and it’s just a coincidence that he made her rich and famous as a result, everyone would laugh in her face and call her a whore – because although she has less agency than a man, she is not completely incapable of basic decision-making, especially when it comes to sex. 

Now, of course, you have a situation where women are viewed in this schizophrenic manner, where they are both totally capable and totally incapable, based on the circumstances. And the nature of the circumstances are determined by what most benefits the woman – nothing else. 

It’s like an advantage roll in D&D – she rolls two dice, and gets to pick whichever is higher. She also has various modifiers, including crying. 

The Science is a weird thing, isn’t it?

It can tell if a tree is male or female, but it can’t do the same with a human being.

New York Post:

When it comes to allergies, men are the “root” of the problem!

An excess of obnoxious, pollen-spewing male trees are wreaking havoc on New Yorkers’ sinuses — worsening what experts predict will be a hellish spring allergy season this year.

In a trend dubbed “botanical sexism,” urban planners planted more male trees in the Big Apple because they’re generally easier to maintain than females, which litter sidewalks with seeds and fruit, experts told The Post.

“But males are actually much more prolific producers of pollen. It’s an aggravating factor for allergies,” said Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, of the Allergy Experts practice on the Upper East Side.

“The concept of allergies wasn’t on the radar of planners when they planted so many males. So we’re stuck with a preponderance of them,” he said.

Pollen from dioecious trees such as maples linger in the air longer and fail to fully absorb due to the city’s lack of leafy ladies, according to doctors and horticulturists.

As the inconsiderate males spread their seed, it creates an itchy, sneezy nightmare for New Yorkers.

“It’s been horrible. I keep taking COVID tests because I’m nervous but then I take Claritin and it goes away,” said Sandy Schiffman, 67, a retired FBI agent from the West Village.

“Every time the wind blows it’s awful today,” said Schiffman, who was relaxing in Washington Square Park with her 10-year-old chihuahua, Be.

Asked about the city’s allergy-inflaming arbor world gender gap, she quipped: “I think men have been screwing up the country for years so that makes sense to me.”

Pictured: a male tree screwing up your nostrils

Other factors exacerbating allergies this year include New York City’s mild winter and the fact that people are masking up less post-COVID, experts said.

“Everyone is talking about how this could potentially be the worst allergy season ever,” said Dr. Neeta Ogen, an Edison, New Jersey-based spokeswoman for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

“It aligns with a trend. With climate change and a warmer planet we are seeing more intense severe, seasons,” Ogen said. “It’s optimal for plant growth but that means earlier and longer release of pollen.”

“People involved in urban and residential planning are going to have to consider this as they decide what to plant,” she said of the city’s abundance of male trees. “Climate change is going to continue to be a trend.”

Intensifying allergy seasons are a problem in other cities too, horticulturists said.

“There’s no gender balance [of trees] in cities anymore,” horticulturist and author Tom Ogren told NBC Washington in early April.

Ogren, an author who coined the term “botanical sexism,” said cities often prioritize easy clean-up over an ecologically healthy balance of plant sexes.

“If you line a street with nothing but male red maples, good Lord, you’re creating what I would just call a pollen corridor,” he said. “When that thing goes off, it will blow people away.”

I…

I just can’t.

And the trees are only a small part of the problem

He must’ve won because he had more upper-body strength.

There’s no other explanation that isn’t sexist.

Breitbart:

A man pretending to be a devout Muslim woman wearing a full niqab was tossed out of a chess tournament in Nairobi, Kenya, after succeeding in making it to the last round.

The man entered the Kenya Open Chess Championship in Nairobi under the name Millicent Awuor and played through the early stages, beating one woman after another, according to an Australian news outlet.

The prize for winning the women’s tournament was a hefty $42,000, a payday that attracted 450 players from 22 African federations. So, a lot was on the line at the event.

Stanley Omondi

During the matches, the player tore through his female opponents without saying a single word. But officials eventually got suspicious when he succeeded in beating former national champion Gloria Jumba and Ugandan top player Ampaira Shakira.

The tournament staff was reported as being averse to challenging the player for fear of finding out he was a woman which would have set them up for accusations of religious discrimination. But, after taking him behind closed doors, he admitted he was a male college student just hoping to win the big cash prize.

Seriously, is there anything more worthless than women?

Why do they even exist?

The Taliban represents everything I hope and dream for white men to some day obtain.

New York Post:

Noura’s determination to play sports was so great that she defied her family’s opposition for years. Beatings from her mother and jeers from her neighbors never stopped her from the sports she loved.

But the 20-year-old Afghan woman could not defy her country’s Taliban rulers. They have not just banned all sports for women and girls, they have actively intimidated and harassed those who once played, often scaring them from even practicing in private, Noura and other women say.

Noura has been left shattered. “I’m not the same person anymore,” she said. “Since the Taliban came, I feel like I’m dead.”

Without the ability to sexually harass and violate men, there is no reason to be alive at all according to women.

A number of girls and women who once played a variety of sports told The Associated Press they have been intimidated by the Taliban with visits and phone calls warning them not to engage in their sports. The women and girls spoke on condition of anonymity for fear they will face further threats.

They posed for an AP photographer for portraits with the equipment of the sports they loved. They hid their identities with burqas, the all-encompassing robes and hood that completely cover the face, leaving only a mesh to see through. They didn’t normally wear the burqa, but they said they sometimes do now when they go outside and want to remain anonymous and avoid harassment.

The ban on sports is part of the Taliban’s escalating campaign of restrictions that have shut down life for girls and women.

Since their takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban have barred girls from attending middle and high school. Last month, they ordered all women thrown out of universities as well.

The Taliban require women to cover their hair and faces in public and prohibit them from going to parks or gyms. They have severely limited women’s ability to work outside the home and most recently forbade non-governmental organizations from employing women, a step that could cripple the vital flow of aid.

Even before the Taliban, women’s sports were opposed by many in Afghanistan’s deeply conservative society, seen as a violation of women’s modesty and of their role in society. Still, the previous, internationally-backed government had programs encouraging women’s sports and school clubs, leagues and national teams for women in many sports.

A 20-year-old mixed martial artist recalled how in August 2021, she was competing in a local women’s tournament at a Kabul sports hall. Word spread through the audience and participants that the advancing Taliban were on the city’s outskirts. All the women and girls fled the hall. It was the last competition Sarina ever played in.

Months later, she said she tried to give private lessons for girls. But Taliban fighters raided the gym where they were practicing and arrested them all. In detention, the girls were humiliated and mocked, Sarina said. After mediation by elders, they were released after promising not to practice sports anymore.

This is the way.

Female sports are utterly without purpose. It is just another way for women to whore it up.

Women should be forced to wear these bags over their whole bodies no matter what. It is so hilarious. It really knocks them down completely, because they have literally nothing but sex. You take that away and they are just mopes acting mopey.

Meanwhile, the sickening right-wing in America is actually actively defending women’s sports – they are making it a top issue. They are defending women’s sports from trannies.

Well, I’m not a big tranny supporter, but if there is one place in the world trannies belong, it is in women’s sports.

It’s just beyond the pale that even Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump will go up and talk about how the most important thing is women’s sports.

What is the purpose of this? What kind of society are we trying to create that we are supposedly against the left? There is no vision for society, because people are not Christians.

If there’s anything in this universe that women won’t complain about, I have yet to see it.

They’re nearly as bad as the individuals.

Alaina Demopoulos writes for The Guardian:

Officially, the Lensa AI app creates “magic avatars” that turn a user’s selfies into lushly-stylized works of art. It’s been touted by celebrities such as Chance the Rapper, Tommy Dorfman, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Britney Spears’ husband, Sam Asghari. But for many women the app does more than just spit out a pretty picture: the final results are highly sexualized, padding women’s breasts and turning their bodies into hourglass physiques.

“Is it just me or are these AI selfie generator apps perpetuating misogyny?” tweeted Brandee Barker, a feminist and advocate who has worked in the tech industry. “Here are a few I got just based off of photos of my face.” One of Barker’s results showed her wearing supermodel-length hair extensions and a low-cut catsuit. Another featured her in a white bra with cleavage spilling out from the top.

“Lensa gave me a boob job! Thanks AI!!!” tweeted another user who also received a naked headshot cropped right above the breasts. “Anyone else get loads [of] boobs in their Lensa pictures or just me?” asked another.

Though the app isn’t new (a similar program went viral back in 2016 and attracted a million users a day), it has recently shot to the top of the most-downloaded photo and video apps on Apple’s App Store. Users pay a $7.99 fee and upload 10-20 selfies, and the Stable Diffusion algorithm concocts 50 photos based on the image prompts.

To test the software, the Guardian uploaded images of three different famous feminists: Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm and Amelia Earhart. The author of The Feminine Mystique became a nymph-like, full-chested young woman clad in piles of curls and a slip dress. Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to US Congress, had a wasp waste. And the aviation pioneer was rendered naked, leaning on to what appeared to be a bed.

All of the photos submitted by the Guardian showed the icons at various stages of their lives; the majority of the AI-rendered photos we received back showed them quite young, with smooth skin and few wrinkles.

Barker told the Guardian that she only uploaded photos of her face to Lensa AI, and was expecting to get cropped headshots back. “I did, but I also got several sexualized, half-clothed, large-breasted, small-wasted ‘fairy princess’, ‘cosmic’ and ‘fantasy images’,” she said. “These looked nothing like me and were embarrassing, even alarming.”

Though Barker believes AI apps have “tremendous potential”, she said the technology still has far to go in how it depicts women and femininity. “These sexualized avatars were so unrealistic and unachievable that they felt counter to so much progress we have made, particularly around size inclusivity and body positivity,” she added. “This technology is not infallible because humans are behind it, and their bias will impact the data sets.”

That’s just one criticism of Lensa AI. After the app went viral, TechCrunch noted that if users submitted photos of a person’s face Photoshopped over a naked model’s body, the app went “wild”, disabling its “not safe for work” (NSFW) filter and delivering more nudes. This means that the app could be used to generate porn without the original subject’s knowledge or consent. Artists have also taken stands against the app, saying it steals their original images to inform its portraits without paying for their work.

To test the software I also submitted 10 photos of myself to the app, all fully clothed, and received two AI-generated nudes. One was a “fantasy” version cropped from the waste up, with nipples visible but slightly scrubbed over. The other came from the “cosmic” category, which looked like I was topless or wearing a wet T-shirt.

…

A representative for Prisma Labs, which owns Lensa AI, sent the Guardian a list of FAQs that read, in part: “Please note, occasional sexualization is observed across all gender categories, although in different ways. The Stable Diffusion model was trained on unfiltered internet content. So it reflects the biases humans incorporate into the images they produce. Creators acknowledge the possibility of societal biases. So do we.”

Thinking women should have big boobs is not “bias,” it’s just human biology. It’s no different than thinking men should be tall, which is not something women have a problem with.

I’ve seen these 41 year old fatties out there demanding guys be over 7 foot.

AP:

Spain said Wednesday it’s enacting a new ethics code to discourage toy manufacturers from using sexist stereotypes such as dolls for girls and action figures for boys in advertisements as the Christmas season kicks off.

A government statement said the new “self-regulatory” code urges companies to run adverts that engender an image of pluralism and equality, free from stereotypes.

This is a serious problem, goy

“The characterization of girls with sexual connotations will be prohibited and the exclusive association of toys with roles such as caring, domestic work or beauty with them (girls), and action, physical activity or technology with boys will be avoided,” the statement said.

The idea is that companies will no longer use colors such as blue or pink to indicate products intended for boys or girls, the government said.

The code follows an agreement between the Consumer Affairs Ministry, toy manufacturers and publicity companies in April.

Why can’t we just be normal?

Why does everything have to be so weird?

If the UK was some religious, conservative country that wanted to uphold a morality code, this would be perfectly fine.

But the UK is a country where you’re just a few clicks away from watching millions of videos of every conceivable type of porn ever imagined by man, where kids are taught hardcore gay porn in schools, and basically 99% of all women are whores and proud of it.

Metro:

A gardening company has been told it has to rip down an ‘offensive’ billboard poster because it ‘objectified and sexualised’ women.

Great Grass MCR Ltd was told it must take down the huge 30ft poster that bragged to customers that its turf was ‘Perfect 365 days a year…Get laid by the best.’

The gian advert also has a photo of a woman wearing only a thong, along with the headline ‘Artificial grarse experts.’

The giant billboard was put up by the company, based in Failsworth, Oldham, at a busy junction nearby where Oldham Road meets the M60 motorway.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) – the UK’s independent regulator of advertising across all media – found after an investigation sparked by complaints that it was ‘irresponsible and likely to cause serious offence’.

The ASA said in a judgment: ‘The complainants, who believed the ad objectified and sexualised women, challenged whether the ad was offensive, harmful and irresponsible.’

After an investigation, the complaints were upheld.

The ASA said in its ruling: ‘We noted that the word ‘grass’ was spelt incorrectly to include the word ‘arse’.

Nothing gets by you, does it?

‘We considered that was likely to be understood by readers to be a reference to the model’s buttocks and had the effect of making that exposed part of her body the focus, thereby drawing attention to the ad.

‘The ad also stated ‘Get laid by the best’. We considered ‘get laid’ would be understood by readers as a slang reference to sexual intercourse.

‘We considered that text, together with the model’s pose and state of undress, was sexually suggestive and would be seen as presenting the model as a sexual object.

‘We acknowledged that while sunbathing, people might recline on a lawn wearing revealing clothing.

‘However, we considered that in the context of the ad, in particular the references to ‘arse’ and ‘get laid’, the model was portrayed as a sexual object, rather than someone who was sunbathing.

‘For those reasons, we concluded that the ad objectified and stereotyped women as sexual objects, was irresponsible and likely to cause serious offence.’

This is the freedom Putin is trying to steal from you

In response to the ASA, the company said ‘Get laid by the best’ was a strapline it had used for years and the claimed ‘perfect 365 days a year’ meant it believed their grass was perfect all year round.

The ASA said: ‘Great Grass said it was noteworthy that there had only been three complaints when the ad had been seen by thousands of people.

‘They believed the complaints were generated by people on social media encouraging others who likely had not even have seen the ad, to complain about it.

‘Great Grass also said that to assume that the person featured in the ad was a woman was wrong and offensive to the transgender community.’

Edgy jokes from the grass company!
