hermionesviolinSo, when I first encountered "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" Old Spice Commercial, I was uncomfortable. I didn't have a coherent critique, and I wasn't interested in investing a lot of time/energy coming up with one, 'cause hey, advertising, lots of it is problematic.
And then it became a Thing, and yes, I enjoyed, "Study like a scholar, scholar" (while still having problems with it).
And then fandom sort of fell in love with The Old Spice Man. Which surprised me a little, 'cause hello problematic, but also wasn't that surprisingsince when does fandom not fall in love with problematic stuff since linguistically playful and/or highly performative provides lots and lots for fandom to play with.
rydra_wong informed the Internet that "Festibility (index post here) has just received the greatest prompt known to humanity." Which, trufax.
But then tonight, proving why fandom is one of my True Homes, my best friend pointed me to: The Old Spice Man meets FEMINIST HULK [for more about @FeministHulk, see the Ms. Magazine interview].
