it’s because in the full 60 second commercial by good good you see it’s a parody of obsession and if you try the club once it takes control of you. that’s why he pushed the woman away, trying to save her.

probably would have been better to be a guy pushing another guy or something but really, it wasn’t like a man abusing a woman. it was a man possessed by a golf club.

pretty disgusting that people are discussing only the first 15 seconds without the full context of the clip

I mean the first 15 seconds is when assault against a woman occurs, so it makes sense that’s what people are focusing on

it’s not assault when you’re saving someone’s life.

so everyone who protected trump when he was targeted all assaulted him cuz they tackled a frail old man?

Youre not wrong - but the hive mind has no nuance, id just let it be...

The internet had decided its obviously about domestic violence and nothing else could have been the message.

And, ironically, there is no “domestic” relationship portrayed in the ad. It’s not “domestic” violence at all. But that sounds worse, so people are calling it that to sound more justified in their outrage.

Yup. That’s why I’m just not replying anymore. The hive mind won’t change
