This is a case by case thing, but if you have an artist in this shit community that you like, who happens to be followed by someone who certainly wouldn't be following them if they actually bothered to be consistent with their beliefs; if they have DMs open, contact them, tell them how that artist you like is totally that type of person who they shouldn't be following, and then hope they see it and actually "correct" their mistake.

It's really the only effective method, but again: it's case by case. You may get the opposite effect if you don't look into the person you're talking with enough.

EDIT:Apologies if this is indeed a dumb thing to say. Probably should have clarified that you use an alt, cause if you do a bunch of stuff on your main, it's not exactly smart to play both sides.

Who the fuck cares who follows them lol.

Ancient bump, but I've bumped into a lot of this recently and the general shock of Americans of this old campaign is pretty funny.

I don't remember anyone from the US actually complaining about it back in the day. You can barely find Orangina here anyway.

Shots of Orangina bottles exploding between the thighs of zebras and squirting on to the breasts of other animals were said to have proved particularly offensive.

Equal rights groups are unhappy with the way in which female animals are depicted as lap dancers, gyrating around and pandering to the male animals.

"Orangina is a drink which is mainly aimed at children and young people, but this new advert places the product in a very sexualised and provocative context" said Claude Knights, director of children's charity Kidscape.

"The almost sinister portrayal of animals in an animation style filled with sexual innuendo leads to very mixed and confused messages," said Mrs Knights.

Orangina was never really a thing you could even buy in many places in the US afaik.

I've had it before. It tastes like an attempt at carbonating orange juice, except there's nothing in there but orange coloring and a massive amount of sugar. Shit's like a syrup and it's fucking disgusting.

That is to our benefit. Less to deal with people seeing this as "viral marketing" and getting nowhere in the states!

I've always seen it in CVS, even in more hick outlets like Dollar General from time to time.

This is another one of those examples of the US version of the product being shittastic compared to the real thing. I've tried it in the US and at home and there's really no comparison: the US version is soaked with that HFCS shit you people seem to love putting in everything, whereas the real thing is made with nothing but orange juice and something that I can only assume is French crack cocaine.

HFCS is cheaper than other sugars and has addictive qualities in the sense that your brain doesn't respond to fullness indicators when compared to eating glucose... In other words, 200g of glucose will leave you feeling fuller longer than 200g of fructose. This means you're more likely to consume more of the product. HFCS has an affect on the brain similar to drug addiction. Which is why companies in the USA love to pump it into anything they can. Addicts = more money.

You know what?
I don’t know what an orange vagina is, but apparently it’s pretty popular.
The weird tiger daddy and the cactus with tiddies is kind of hot.
There, I said it.

 

[AssRock]

European orange vagina is legitimately tasty; kind of like carbonated orange juice with little else than that. I couldn't really say it was sweet so much as just sparkling orange juice.

Haven't tried it in North America, but hearing that it's syrupy and sweetened doesn't surprise me either. Sometimes we can do it better and sometimes, like The Office, it can be divisive.

People are amazed today that this was a legitimate campaign pre-2010, and that they're only seeing it now. I feel the same.

In the UK they have adverts like the Listerine Dragon and the Foxy Bingo fursuits/cgi foxes. Those ones are horribly popular with furs, too. There's a few I'm surprised flew under the radar, and if Foxy Bingo was more widespread out of the UK I'm sure we'd be seeing a lot of pics of him.

I'm so used to seeing furry junk, the part that stood out the most to me in the Orangina ads were the plants/sea creatures and that one point where they use the orangina as a deoderant.

I just looked up the Listerine Dragon and it looks horrifying! WTF?!

I remember seeing the Foxy Bingo ads for the first time and thinking about furries. They're trying to work their way into mainstream.

There was a commercial.....young guy naked except for a towel, he's staring in the mirror or something I think shaving and then this cgi tiger cat thing caresses his face? I think it was French? Does this ring a bell

Did these adds even made it to this side of the world? I know that orange vagina is not even mainstream enough in this side of the puddle so I don't recall ever seeing the adds outside youtube tv comercials compilations.

That was also an Orangina ad.

That's actually canon within the games. I think if you talked to someone in Diamond / Pearl / Platinum at Canalave City, they tell you about how a human once married a Gardevoir. I don't remember much from D/P/Pt but that stood out to me. I was like 11 or 12 when I played it and I remember saying " What the actual fuck " out loud. I honestly was kinda hoping it was a mistranslation but I guess not.
