Why or why not? Would the message have been more clear if the virtue signaling was not too strong?

It would have been more clear if it were about razors.

I think it depends on how you interpret it.

If you see it as an attack on all men, it's bad. If you see what I saw - an ad praising men who do things like rejecting sexism and bullying, and who try to break up needless fights - it's pretty good.

I like the message. I'm not sure I fully endorse the messenger.

I think the message was that real men use Wilkinson Sword (known as Schick in the US).

If everyone interprets it differently, there is no 'correct' or 'wrong.'

I think the problem with the theme is how men have to be placed into a box of being a hero vs being an *******, basically men have to be servers to society one way or the other, if you reject serving society you're basically worthless to society

Even I tried looking at both sides before just sliding with the haters crowd hahahaha.

Also sexism exists against men as well, not sure why people try to make it so much a one sided issue

The subconscious message was pretty clear: Fight toxic masculinity by shaving with Gillette razors.

Their execs must cry themselves to sleep every night now that beards are so popular.

Nope. But I am not a soy boy or SJW and my wife loves my masculinity and on top of that I don't need a razor I have a beard and when I do want it trimmed I go to my barber. Just more of the same,they first turned wives who enjoyed living a traditional life of family,god,home into career women workers and now are attacking manly men. Hell with them.

I like how everyone tried to racialize the ad, but don't realize that is a manipulation tactic. If a male feminist can be thrown under the bus like the one who committed suicide just recently, why would other men not be just as at risk?
