I mean....the billboard is literally proposing "spot the difference"

It doesn't say "you shouldn't be looking for a difference here..it's just clothes" or something to that effect.

u/ecafyelims Jul 30 '26

This means that the person who made the billboard "might" be a creep!

u/bobbymcpresscot Jul 30 '26

I feel like this is a sign that reading comprehension might very well be dead.

u/ERedfieldh Jul 31 '26

It would work better if the two skirts were exactly the same....creeps are the ones who will find a difference even when it doesn't exist.

Still not convinced they aren't the same image to begin with.

u/PracticalPotato Jul 31 '26

... It says “If you can spot the difference you might be a creep”.

Unless you want to be a creep, the implication is that you shouldn’t be seeing a difference.

I used a different example below. Instead of reusing it I'll use a different one:

If I held up two pictures of a giraffe and told you NOT to look for a difference between them what are you likely going to immediately do?

Even if you stop yourself eventually you're going to look for a difference.

Now, what if I put up a billboard that said:

If you look for the difference between these giraffes you might be a pervert

Oops, you looked now you might be a pervert.

Sound childish? Yeah, because it is.

u/PracticalPotato Jul 31 '26

well now you’re mixing up “noticing a difference” vs “looking for a difference”.

The billboard is trying to say that if you can tell the difference you might be a pervert, not if you are *looking* for the difference. It’s a dumb message but it isn’t “haha made you look”.

u/StrongExternal8955 Jul 31 '26

Mate you are being intentionally obtuse.

u/PracticalPotato Jul 31 '26

How?

... actually nevermind, screw off. Hopping into a convo just to try to call me stupid in bigger words.

u/throwaway234f32423df Jul 31 '26

the photo is photoshopped for ragebait

in reality, it was just a normal advertisement for a clothing store, there was nothing about "being a creep" or "skirt length", it was added in photoshop to make people angry and generate social media engagement

"It doesn't say "you shouldn't be looking for a difference here..it's just clothes" or something to that effect."

I want you to train your eyes to the lower left of the billboard captain "literature" and do some reading...

u/real_shim_slady Jul 30 '26

“Bigger discounts on women’s fashion” really putting in leg work to help stop objectifying women

-9

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

I am not arguing that it's nuanced or anything other than corpo bs "feminism"

but if you look at the lower left corner what does it say slugger?

it's literally the thing the guy just said they didn't say...

just take the L.

u/real_shim_slady Jul 30 '26

Are you familiar with how billboards work bud? Or reading in general? Where do your eyes go first, big W guy

u/bobbymcpresscot Jul 30 '26

IF you can spot the difference you MIGHT be a creep.

Reading comprehension might actually just be dead, or the actual reality, leave an insult on the floor and its owner will pick it up. 

-30

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

it also says you might be a creep. do you know what might means?

34

u/FreshLiterature Jul 30 '26

If I posted a sign up that has two pictures of a, I dunno, a car and it said:

"If you can't spot the difference you might be a bimbo"

How many women do you think would believe I'm calling them bimbos?

19

u/PatchesOfSilver Jul 30 '26

This was a very well put counterexample.

You'd get destroyed on social media, might even make the evening news on a slow day, to say nothing of being fired.

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

How many incels does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

It's a trick question, incels don't know how to screw.

16

u/PatchesOfSilver Jul 30 '26

Oh no, so triggering. You know FDS moved their primary activity off of Reddit right?

Apparently misandry severe enough to encourage male suicide caused them to worry about being banned here, you'd fit right in.

-2

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

I don't know what you're secret pet acronym means sad boy. I don't need to trigger you any further, you are already >5 messages deep complaining about corpo feminism in a post that should have been a joke about an Indian fast fashion companies' women's day sale ad. Let's be frank, the OP was tilted too with that classic gen z "befuddlement" when he knew full well.

I am just here for the sport, sport.

10

u/flyboyy513 Jul 30 '26

Lol.

The sport being crippling schizophrenia?

10

u/PatchesOfSilver Jul 30 '26

Lol wow.

Jager has some issues.

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

What's crippling about it babe? What is the point you are trying to make? You don't know how to read reddit?

-1

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you go waddle off to a male rights forum, not an ask peter one? There you could echo chamber in peace.

10

u/PatchesOfSilver Jul 30 '26

No, seriously, go hang out with the TERFs.

You are proving that "incel" is not a gender specific term.

0

u/Suspicious_Alps_8973 Jul 30 '26

Its called a femcel

-1

u/jbasc Jul 30 '26

We're you trying to make a point at some point?

Correct, incel stands for involuntary celibate, since you seem incapable of understanding acronyms or short hand...

Did you have anything else to add coward?

0

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

Yeah make us a point sweetie.

2

u/StonedMason85 Jul 30 '26

No but you can always learn if you want to.

-7

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

Congrats, you are as intelligent as the women you just made up and equally illiterate.

Odd coming from someone with literature in thier name.

18

u/FreshLiterature Jul 30 '26

I'd be salty too if I got fucking destroyed that hard.

You had an opportunity there to go, "oh hey, good point" but naaaahhhhh

Have the day you deserve

-2

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

You don't understand the retort do you? If you need help just ask sweet child.

Also, self-congratulating your own comment? I can tell you're a master of "solitary celebration" but have some self-worth and walk away on the supposed 'mike drop'.

Have the day you deserve? I could care less TBH...

8

u/zippybenji-man Jul 30 '26

Why we dropping Mike? I understand you don't like men, but he did nothing wrong

-1

u/Jagermaestro1981 Jul 30 '26

No little baby boy. I am a man, you are a cute little weeb child making a pun and crying about an Indian clothing ad with lazy logic.

And you and your crew of people that made it down this far are just following me to the bottom of reddit. Like the sad little lifers you are.

u/OkPalpitation4976 Jul 30 '26

I disagree, the ship of Theseus becomes an entirely different ship when it has been rebuilt. You are wrong.
