΄ (ππ¦)Maybe don't call your shoe the "predator", but if you do, don't carry it in child sizes...
Retepkce π@alice sounds a bit awkward
@alice even if you let the child out, you will get an Uni-Sex predator...

When my wife was pregnant and we were looking into potential names for the kid, my wife asked me why I try to come up with the absolute worst of nicknames for potential name candidates.
I replied: For two reasons. First, kids can be cruel, especially teenage kids. And second: My first name was used to come up with a racist slur about black female genitals as a nickname for me. That's far worse than transforming Benjamin into 'Ben, jam (it) in!'. If I can come up with shit like that, so can they.
That shoe example there reminds me what marketing departments are there for. And that I did a better job in naming my kids than they did naming their shoes.
@momo my ex and I did that for our kid.

HTPC NZ@alice why not? these been in the market for over three decades, if you know anything about kids, they don't word associate as overly sensitive adults are and want to wear the same boots as their favourite players. geez.
@htpcnz you're kidding, right?
@alice oh my dog never seen an ad that awful. They really have no taste and no brain.

@saltywizard check out the "not all men are predators" crowd in the replies π
(Like, how many dudes will tattle on themselves by assuming they're being personally called out?)

Zimmie@alice A while ago, I saw an ad for a power toothbrush from the manufacturerβs βHealthy Whiteβ line. It was similarly bad.
Sheeb@Shebeencounter wouldn't that have been "Uni-sax Child Predator"?

A common misconception. The T is for target, letting potential predators know the parents of this kid support child trafficking and they won't be charged.

@Cassandra_Complex @MugsysRapSheet @alice
there's nothing COMMON about MY misconceptions π
if your parents buy you those shoes you should run away immediately
@normjess @MugsysRapSheet @alice
I will renegotiate to a dual meaning :)
Don't forget to put the shoes in a dumpster at the first opportunity so they won't attract attention of creeps!

@alice unisex Child Predator ? Their brand consultant must have a curious sense of humor.

abby@alice the adidas predator soccer shoe line is older than me, I wore these during my soccer days 2 decades ago
@vapaad so you're saying Adidas has had child predators in their stores for decades?
@alice I just don't see how this actually helps child victims, as a CSA victim myself I can tell you what shoes I was wearing had nothing to do with it. There's actual things going on in stores that really do hurt children though- like how most all little girls shorts are shorter than boys, their swimsuits are both more restrictive and more revealing, etc.
This feels like performative outrage over a popular soccer shoe that's been around for 30+ years.
@vapaad I think you're reading too much into a post about a tonedeaf marketing team putting "child predator" on their product page.
Lena Riot β@alice omg must be marketed in MAGA America
@KillerQueenLena I'd make a joke about needing to run fast to catch the children, but most of the MAGA crowd couldn't run more than a block to save their lives.
thepoliticalcat@alice These people are playing in our faces, shamelessly!
