Oh, I couldn't have been more dead on with this. You guys... have you seen the newest Gillette ad?! It's called Every Hero Sweats. Before you watch it, let's take an instant replay back to what I said about the previous "too long for TV" ad they put out in this article: So yes, these corporations are going to pretend - and they are pretending - to give a crap about these issues to cause the endless analysis, social media trending, buying frenzy to counter act boycotts, etc., because it does cause people to go out and aim right for their product. And since it was an issue the left cares about... the right will boycott and the left will over buy in support to make up for that boycott. Plus, aiming to please the left works better since the left tends more towards hard boycotts, violent protests, or complete buying frenzies than the right is. We wouldn't want Antifa burning down the factory now, would we? No. But we do want them going out and buying everything they see with the Gillette brand on it, which they will, especially if they are under 25. So they're pretending to care about this issue to capitalize off of socialists who don't make the connection that they are proving capitalism works... because this is pure capitalistic marketing and they don't see it. Now, in a few months, Gillette will probably do something that supports the troops or something like that, because that will bring the right back off their boycott and they'll buy because Gillette supports the troops. It will spark a small boycott by the left, but not one big enough to notice. And that's how you create a profit in 2019! Did that hit that one directly on the head or what? This ad came out with very little fanfare, but there it is... military theme and all. Remember, it doesn't matter if it actually works. They assume it will because they think everyone is gullible.
