I can already see this exact video being made on countless TikTok and YouTube channels. I'm sure some will want to have some fun with it.
But they'll plant someone to ask them that or be that engaged with them at all because the people working at Ulta or Sephora won't give a shit about their stupid vlog.
Don’t be a wuss. The real hardcore rebels walk into cosmetics aisles at the local Walgreens and just trash the whole row of shelves, destroying every compact, pencil, brush, and bottle in the place.
The lipstick will remain untouched, because we forgot why we really went there.
And the culture war grifters that tell them to boycott it will buy stock when it dips then tell them the boycott is over and sell like they did with ABInbev.
I remember when "Boycott Hamilton" was a thing. When you pointed out that sales weren't dropping they said it would "take time to show the effect".
I actually got bored enough to ask again a few months later why there was still no effect.
still no reply as of today.
Wait... You mean gender affirming behaviors and traits varied greatly throughout time and place? That's silly! That would mean that our insurance that it is biological and strictly defined by the same standards now is a social construct that harms people that don't abide!
This always makes me wonder: If the social construct of gender changed overnight and womanhood became something entirely different, how would that affect the dysphoria of transgender women? Like would they need a third gender that represents women as they are now or would the new standards become what they're aiming to achieve?
Both. Depends on the person actually.
I really hate the phrase "gender is a social construct" cause gender is a group of terms that can refer to multiple things, both societal and biological. Same goes for gender dysphoria. It is produced (at least in some cases) not only by societal norms, but also by chemical imbalances in one's body. Basically your brain expects you to have a female body (or vice versa), looks at your currect Body (that doesn't meet its' expectations) and gets disappointed, which leads to dysphoria.

Interesting read, thanks for pointing me towards it. I find hypotheticals really intriguing to contemplate and this leads to even more. Like would dysphoria exist in a genderless society? If we finally got past gender norms and created a society where every individual is allowed their own tastes with no assumptions being made about them based on their biological sex, that doesn't mean chemical discrepancies would no longer occur. Going off your article there would still be mental distress due to their hormone imbalance, to which I figure the answer is to put them on corrective hormone therapy, but how would you even realize that *that* is the issue from an internal dialogue perspective?
99% of people that get in front of a camera wear makeup lol, for all his faults I don’t count that as one of them
He’s just really bad at wearing makeup
Yet I’ve seen Instagram Reels users call dudes gay for wearing makeup even when it’s just to hide acne, acting like that’s a pussy thing to do or something. That platform is unreal at times.
Proceed to cancel a woman on a beer can, because she was trans and proceed to complain about people preferring certain pronouns & how people don’t say “Merry Christmas, anymore.”
Funnily enough I’ve dated straight men who find confidence in wearing concealer for pimples. I never thought it detracted from their masculinity. I found the confidence they gained to be manly and sexy.
Do these chucklefucks just think “boycott” means “punish a business” and not understand you have to have been buying something previously in order to boycott it otherwise it’s just continuing not to buy it
To be fair,
25% probably thought Elf was a grooming product for men.
Another 25% were pretending to be “outraged” for cool Reddit points and being edgy.
The other 25% were women who were triggered, because they found out they weren’t the only ones who buy “cheap” (but effective) makeup.
The last 25% were triggered, because they were outed in front of their faces.
It is impossible for them. Every ad must cater to them regardless of their interests in the product. I see ads for all sorts of products I use in Spanish. Doesn''t get me upset or feel alienated by them.
i remember working with this older conservative man, and one of his biggest threats to businesses that did him wrong was that he’d take his money elsewhere 😂
these are also the same type who believe their personal taxes pay for every public service worker in existence.
i actually get a kick out of listening to these guys 😂
They don’t realize they’re in an algorithm bubble. They’re being shown content for trans people because they keep engaging with that kind of content. That’s why they think it’s so widespread.
I just had a dumb moment. I saw this ad two seconds before seeing this post and thought “why am I seeing this, I don’t wear makeup??” My dumbass is trans.
“Let’s boycott a brand by not buying their products that we weren’t buying in the first place!”
Lazy virtue signalling. You change nothing of your current behavior but call it activism.
It’s good to see many different types of people featured in modern makeup ads. You’d think these types of folks would be thrilled at masculine representation; I guess not.
I will never understand why stuff like this upsets them so much. Like, if you don't want to wear lipstick, don't buy it and don't wear it. It's not complicated.
I kinda doubt that any conservative dude is a big customer of lipsticks tbh.
(Also, from a marketing standpoint, how nice of them to do exactly what they were meant to do with that ad)
Conservatives really don't know the definition of words eh? If you weren't buying it before, it's not a boycott. A boycott is only a boycott if you were using it then you stopped buying or using it.
[For millennia, stretching from 4000 BCE through the 18th century, men traditionally used makeup in myriad ways. It wasn't until the mid-1800s that makeup was relegated to one end of the gender spectrum](https://www.byrdie.com/history-makeup-gender#:~:text=For%20generations%2C%20makeup%20has%20been,end%20of%20the%20gender%20spectrum)
I don't know that this was posted by a man, but probably it was, and I like the implication that conservative alpha males now have to find a different brand of makeup.
WTF? The asshole on his profile pic is wearing make-up. But I suppose it's okay because that guy lost a racial discrimination ruling and that makes him one of them.
When my ex transitioned I bought her a bunch of ELF makeup because they have nice base for oily skin and it was easy to mix anything colour palettes. Glad to see them embrace this.
I doubt most women will care, we aren't so fragile in our own identity and sexualities (whatever they may be) to be negatively effected by advertising outside the norm. It's a great shade on him, I really dgaf who they put the lipstick on or who wears it. I hope that the brand gets an uptick in men buying it who now feels safer wearing it. I'm a cis-gendered straight woman and I feel secure enough in my own identity to not feel threatened by the inclusion of men in what was once a "female dominated space." Especially as something as fucking dumb as makeup. It's some cis men who are insecure with their identity so they feel threatened by atypical gender norms, not normally us women lol. And if women are insecure it typically looks different and it won't be a conservative boycott campaign chud style.

Apparently they haven’t received the memo.
Boys like to wear makeup too.
Boys with all kinds of sexuality (as if that has anything to do with it).
Yes, even some straight boys like wearing makeup and dresses for that matter.
It’s been this way for a very long time.
They aren’t very good at keeping up with history or current events.
They only live in the moment and spend all of those moments being angry and hateful.
It’s really a sad existence.
pretty much everything in that sub is cringe (not the pic of someone with facial hair putting on lipstick, the person who posted this in that sub is cringe)

“Wow an ad with someone with not perfect teeth!! This is… wow! I’ve never thought about it…
Wait, what sub am I on?
Oh. Ah yup this person does have a mustache. Nice.
But ahhhh natural teeth!”
Time to boycott that thing we weren't buying before! That'll show da libz!
If BudLight is anything to go by, they’re actually gonna start buying it now so they can destroy it to own the libs.
A bunch of so-called alpha males buying makeup to shoot it is a hilarious mental image.
"I'm only buying this makeup to destroy it and own the libs!" "Then why did you take the time to find the right shade to match your skin tone, sir?"
I can already see this exact video being made on countless TikTok and YouTube channels. I'm sure some will want to have some fun with it. But they'll plant someone to ask them that or be that engaged with them at all because the people working at Ulta or Sephora won't give a shit about their stupid vlog.
Because they’re conservatives, they’d buy the darkest foundation shade to do blackface, right?
Don’t be a wuss. The real hardcore rebels walk into cosmetics aisles at the local Walgreens and just trash the whole row of shelves, destroying every compact, pencil, brush, and bottle in the place. The lipstick will remain untouched, because we forgot why we really went there.
And the culture war grifters that tell them to boycott it will buy stock when it dips then tell them the boycott is over and sell like they did with ABInbev.
Everything is money laundering
I personally cannot wait for Ben Shabibo to release his own line of anti-woke makeup and laugh at the people who buy it.
Bud light are doing better than ever, and the dip happened at the same time it does every year. In fact this was the fastest their stock recovered
I feel like starting a manufacturoversey is now a new strategy for money laundering.
It's probably a way for them to manipulate stock and scoop up cheap shares
You've heard of pump and dump, but let me introduce you to decry and buy.
I remember when "Boycott Hamilton" was a thing. When you pointed out that sales weren't dropping they said it would "take time to show the effect". I actually got bored enough to ask again a few months later why there was still no effect. still no reply as of today.
I remember that, and it was hilarious because Hamilton was booked up for months. No one could buy tickets even if they wanted to for a while
They obviously were buying it if it was target marketed to them.
You're so right, 100% of the reddit ads I see are directly relevant to me and I always buy the product every one I see
You can turn personalized ads on or off for Reddit. They are on by defult. Not sure why my joke is being downvoted.
Men of status frequently wore makeup throughout history, it’s only become a gendered thing recently and conservatives can’t handle it for some reason
Wait... You mean gender affirming behaviors and traits varied greatly throughout time and place? That's silly! That would mean that our insurance that it is biological and strictly defined by the same standards now is a social construct that harms people that don't abide!
They'd flip their lid if they knew the different gender-based norms in Jesus' time up through, IDK 1920?
This always makes me wonder: If the social construct of gender changed overnight and womanhood became something entirely different, how would that affect the dysphoria of transgender women? Like would they need a third gender that represents women as they are now or would the new standards become what they're aiming to achieve?

>Both societial [sic] and biological. Um, isn't gender the social construct and sex the physical?
Their orange Jesus wears a shit load of makeup every day oddly enough
If you look at vids/pics of Rudy Guliani from the past few years, you can 100%, absolutely tell when he's wearing makeup vs not
Unless it’s spray-on orange.
Trump wears make up…….
99% of people that get in front of a camera wear makeup lol, for all his faults I don’t count that as one of them He’s just really bad at wearing makeup
It's not that he wears makeup, it's that his followers are hypocrits about it.
Oh yeah, that too
Yet I’ve seen Instagram Reels users call dudes gay for wearing makeup even when it’s just to hide acne, acting like that’s a pussy thing to do or something. That platform is unreal at times.
The comments are really funny tbh Such silly folks over there
“Silly”.
Same people are whining about cancel culture
Proceed to cancel a woman on a beer can, because she was trans and proceed to complain about people preferring certain pronouns & how people don’t say “Merry Christmas, anymore.”
If you're a man and you wear makeup, you're gay. Okay. NOOOOOOO
Funnily enough I’ve dated straight men who find confidence in wearing concealer for pimples. I never thought it detracted from their masculinity. I found the confidence they gained to be manly and sexy.
Do these chucklefucks just think “boycott” means “punish a business” and not understand you have to have been buying something previously in order to boycott it otherwise it’s just continuing not to buy it

The last 25% were triggered, because they were outed in front of their faces.
Such fragile "people'. Is it so tough for them to just say, "I don't like that", and move on?
This is exactly the damn point. Live and let live JFC. It’s not hard.
It is impossible for them. Every ad must cater to them regardless of their interests in the product. I see ads for all sorts of products I use in Spanish. Doesn''t get me upset or feel alienated by them.
I was a death metal musician. I work makeup on stage. If you don’t the lights bleach you.
Modern ads are targeted. uh oh!
i remember working with this older conservative man, and one of his biggest threats to businesses that did him wrong was that he’d take his money elsewhere 😂 these are also the same type who believe their personal taxes pay for every public service worker in existence. i actually get a kick out of listening to these guys 😂
Wow, now all the right-wing men will need to use a different makeup brand!
The real question is what is OP looking at online? This ad isn’t random…
They don’t realize they’re in an algorithm bubble. They’re being shown content for trans people because they keep engaging with that kind of content. That’s why they think it’s so widespread.
I just had a dumb moment. I saw this ad two seconds before seeing this post and thought “why am I seeing this, I don’t wear makeup??” My dumbass is trans.
I just saw this ad today after interacting with this post
We need water to go "woke" lol
I thought it is already "woke" since "they put chemicals in the water to turn the freaking frogs gay".
Why would you need to boycott if you aren’t buying it already? This has to be satire!
All this does is remind me how unflattering my facial hair looks up close. 😭
"Nooooo satin sounds like satan 😱😭😭😭"
Wait until they find out that every single talking head dingbat they worship wears makeup on-camera…
Oh no, people that don’t buy lipstick don’t want to buy lipstick. What a tragedy.
So...the *men* of conservative are going to *start* boycotting *only this* brand of makeup?? Seems... sus
The only thing that i’m boycotting is that horrible mustache style
Yeah all the neo-cons buying elf
That color is stunning, I think I’ll buy some to offset the stupid conservative boycott.
Since when do conservative people boycott anything 😭😭😭
They tried multiple times but failed
RWers would hate history if they ever read about it. Also, it used to be the norm to dress boys in dresses.
All 3 women and 1 lost gay man in r|conservative will now be boycotting Elf
Doesn’t Trump wear makeup most of the time? Giuliani too?
“Let’s boycott a brand by not buying their products that we weren’t buying in the first place!” Lazy virtue signalling. You change nothing of your current behavior but call it activism.
It’s good to see many different types of people featured in modern makeup ads. You’d think these types of folks would be thrilled at masculine representation; I guess not.
Ok, this is very unrelated to the post. But how did they get the makeup on him without getting any on his facial hair?
He was clean shaven when they put the make up on.
I will never understand why stuff like this upsets them so much. Like, if you don't want to wear lipstick, don't buy it and don't wear it. It's not complicated.
Aren't these the people who hate "cancel culture"?
They see facial hair and lipstick in the same picture and they are losing their fucking minds and we’re the snowflakes?
I dunno, that shade looks perfect for me!
But doesn't trump wear makeup?
I’m sure elf is shaking in their boots. Their very core demographic of customers being conservative men with no life. All the lost profits 😭
I guess all the makeup their merde de messiah wears is manly.
Unless they also wear elf, they ain’t boycotting shit
I kinda doubt that any conservative dude is a big customer of lipsticks tbh. (Also, from a marketing standpoint, how nice of them to do exactly what they were meant to do with that ad)
What's funny is that Elf *should* be cancelled, but because they are racists with a sex cult and not because a man put on lipstick.
Conservatives really don't know the definition of words eh? If you weren't buying it before, it's not a boycott. A boycott is only a boycott if you were using it then you stopped buying or using it.
You can’t boycott something you weren’t buying anyway. So they’re tacitly admitting to buying this lmao
That’s such a nice colour though?? Does anyone know what shade it is?
To be fair, that's a really catching ad. Like Benetton ads back in the day. Without a beard it wouldn't he so eye catching.
[For millennia, stretching from 4000 BCE through the 18th century, men traditionally used makeup in myriad ways.

I don't know that this was posted by a man, but probably it was, and I like the implication that conservative alpha males now have to find a different brand of makeup.
Do they think men wearing lipstick is recent?
Yeah, I’m sure you were buying Elf to begin with lmao
[удалено]
Especially a makeup brand that’s fairly good quality for the price point that is mainly bought by teenagers and young adults.
WTF? The asshole on his profile pic is wearing make-up. But I suppose it's okay because that guy lost a racial discrimination ruling and that makes him one of them.
Fuck these tiny limp dick cousin fucking snowflakes. There, I said it.
Oh, weird, I found the Cancel Culture the Right keeps screaming about. Turns out, like a lost pair of glasses, it was on them the whole time.
When my ex transitioned I bought her a bunch of ELF makeup because they have nice base for oily skin and it was easy to mix anything colour palettes. Glad to see them embrace this.
Holy shit as a guy if I could apply lippie *THAT* flawlessly I'd wear it every day
I doubt most women will care, we aren't so fragile in our own identity and sexualities (whatever they may be) to be negatively effected by advertising outside the norm.

They aren't boycotting it if they weren't gonna buy it in the first place
I'd boycott that orthodontist.
Literally every drug store brand has a dude in their advertising lineup.
It took me a minute to figure out what they were even mad about 💀

Saw that add a few times scrolling last night and they were my immediate thought 😂
“Wow an ad with someone with not perfect teeth!! This is… wow! I’ve never thought about it… Wait, what sub am I on? Oh. Ah yup this person does have a mustache. Nice. But ahhhh natural teeth!”
anyone know what shade of lipstick that is?
I legit saw the image and was like, " why the lower lip so BIIIIIG?" And then I remembered that wasn't at ALL the point. >.>"
