Amazon ad with Girl with mustache

[Anonymous]

Does anyone else hate this ad? Please get rid of the mustache and leave Freddie Mercury alone

[Anonymous]

Amazon is now using a shortened version of that commercial in which the facial hair is not there and it appears to be just about receiving cool clothes from Amazon and therefore becoming a cool cat. I think they are afraid of being Bud Lighted.

It freaked me out. What was that about? Was it something with trans?

Words cannot express how much I hate this ad.

It’s so gross

I just don’t understand. It seems like the whole point is being comfortable in your own skin, but generally speaking a girl with hair on her lip is not going to look at Freddy Mercury and be inspired to say eff it I want to rock a mustache too. It should not be considered un-PC to acknowledge that Freddy having a mustache is not the equivalent of a teen girl having hair on her lip.

Yeah... it's very odd.

Thank you for saying it. I thought I'd better not say it, or someone would get super offended or whatever.

I hadn't seen it until I saw this thread. I'm a trans woman and after watching it, it seems pretty obvious to me that the person in the video is a nonbinary AFAB person, most likely on testosterone. It's clearly queer coded and the person is clearly supposed to be gender nonconforming and almost certainly nonbinary. They could have made it more obvious with something like a trans flag but that's probably too on the nose for cis viewers. I'd wager the only reason that there wasn't a blahaj in the video is because it's an Ikea product. If you're not familiar, it's a large and inexpensive stuffed shark from Ikea that happens to have the same colors as the trans flag and has become a thing in trans culture.
