The H&K twitter showed support to the Miller Light “we will no longer objectify women” commercial. People responded with basically “please just sell guns and shut the frick up.” The H&K media chick’s response to that is below





Which of course caused some backlash. The above tweet was deleted within hours. A day later H&K posts this:



I wish more companies did this instead of wading into political waters then doubling down when called out.

By the way, this is the broad in question, a former product bikini bimbo herself

I'm super offended.

They can send me a real MP5 as reparations for this mental distress. I promise to get all paperwork filled out and fees paid upon receipt.

Jesus H why do businesses think publicly commenting on non-business essential social areas is a good idea? Just shut tf up and make or sell the thing.

Yes sell what you sell and stay out of the shite. This is unreal and just stupid. Fruit of the Loom may have tranny panties but they aren’t advertising it bc it’s 1% sales. Sell drawers and panties like always and let the trannies find what they need. Fuk man this really is simple

I agree. But these corporations pay a social media manager for a reason. She went off the reservation and H&K responded promptly. They didn’t lie. They didn’t try to gaslight us. They said “this shouldn’t have happened, and we’ve corrected it “

I’m confused with all of this. Who is saying what?

Is H&K supporting ML?

I’m on my phone, so my post may not have been clear.

H&K social media supports Miller commercial
People call H&K out
H&K doubles down
H&K removes tweets supporting Miller light and say they were wrong.

The HK girl basically said that they don't do pin up sexualization of women ads but that they're not woke

The reality is that her comments were fine, they just didn't need to be made at all because nobody cares what HK PR girl's personal thoughts on sex in advertising is.

HK responded pretty boldly as seen above. I'm as anti-woke as they come (but I am an HK fan) and I think the reaction to her comments were probably over the top. I do appreciate the outcome from HK though.

I’m fine with them getting involved. As long as it’s not them attempting to normalize mental illness and groom children. That shite needs to be called out and ostracized.
