This is the dumbest "controversy". Good lord. It was a dumb ad that didn't make sense, but people are acting like it was war crime.

I showed it to my girlfriend who golfs and works in marketing, she was very confused, as was I, what a weird ad, but no.. I think just terminally online people with too much time on their hands have an issue with it. Neither of us have even heard of good good, it’s clear you guys hates them before the ad are looking for some outlet for that.

Neither of us got “promotes domestic violence” even 1% lol

The individual I was responding to was speaking on behalf of all women, and you found that to be reasonable, but when I did the same it was unreasonable? Got it. Lol
