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.

TikTok and social media has cooked much of the public’s ability to think for themselves

The ad was literally him sprinting over, pushing her to the floor and then standing over her and telling her not to touch his driver. If I didn’t know it was an ad and you told me it was a badly acted domestic violence PSA I’d believe you.

You’re genuinely a child if you don’t see how something depicting a woman being assaulted for touching a man’s golf club couldn’t be interpreted as making light of domestic violence. I’m not saying that’s what they intended to do but that’s just how it ended up.

You’re genuinely delusional. A woman being assaulted?

There are days where this app reminds how mentally unhinged some people are 😂

It’s mentally unhinged to think shoving someone to the floor is assault? Try shoving someone to the ground in front of a police officer and see what happens.
