Look, I am NOT a homophobe by any stretch of the imagination. But really, I have to ask... Why is it that all these ads today seem to equate "gay" with "flaming"?


And let's not forget Truvada

Really!

In this one, the guy isn't so much flamboyant as he is female. In his movements and mannerisms, he's just girly.


So dainty!

This guy is disgusting!  When does it become 'too much' for the normal people who accept it- But don't want it shoved down our throats?

seeing this hairy man thing wearing this girls leotard is f**k creepy as f**k
and the Dovato … I'm sure it sounds feminine when he sits down to go pee pee
and Truvada  this type of stereotyping totally offends me 
Im am glad that we can have grownup realistic conversations about these issues
but this type of thing sets us back 20 years IMHO

Uber Eats doesn't care if it offends the regular consumer.  I would say a year from now, they will be adsorbed into some other company and the name will be forgotten. Btw, this commercial will be buried along with the other so-called cutting edge commercials that air a week or two.
There's a sucker born every minute.

I posted about this yesterday. It's offensive not because he (may or may not be) gay, but because they apparently wanted him to camp it up. As I said then it's like if they had a Mexican guy and told him to wear a sombrero and shake maracas on screen.

You hit the nail on the head. I wonder if gay people find it offensive?

It's not so much what gays (or blacks or Indians or Hispanics or trannies or whatever) think. It's what the SJWs and people who claim to represent those groups think.

You hit the nail on the head. I wonder if gay people find it offensive? 

I think they probably like it because it so obviously panders to them and portrays them as normal, everyday people, living normal, everyday lives doing normal, everyday things.

Which most of them are, of course, with the exception of drag queens and cross dressing transgenders who go on hormone therapy to turn themselves into a "hybrid" who looks like the opposite gender but still retains their "original equipment".

Hard to realistically say that is an example of "normal, everyday people".

I guess if they didn't have them mincing around and acting like fairies, nobody would know they are supposed to be gay without having a graphic next to their head with an arrow and a message saying "<--- FYI-He's Gay".

But is the point of the commercial to say "Haha, it's funny because he's gay!"? or to be funny because of the interaction between him and Simone Biles? Because if it's the former I go back to my earlier statement about if "he was Mexican would they just plop him on a donkey wearing a giant sombrero with maracas singing "La Cucaracha". "

If it's the latter then the interactions would  work without the over the top flaming gay guy act. Hey, maybe the dude is like this  all of the time in real life, or maybe it's an act. But the commercial with the leotard is just icky.

I think the pint of the commercial, or more precisely the point of putting that character in the commercial, is simply to put a gay guy in a commercial.

But in order to make it apparent to everyone that he's gay, they had to make him a flamer.

If you put a gay guy in it who doesn't look or act gay, nobody would know and they'd miss out on the opportunity to pander to PC public opinion and prove to us how woke they are.

I guess wokeness applies to other special groups besides just blacks, but I cannot say for sure.

well of course... but the sad fact remains that  even if the guy wasn't a flame 

he would still be a guy wearing simone's  leotard 

this is a  hole (pun intended) I really don't care to go down 

the fact that he is quite Hairy doesnt help the optics either

I think it's probably safe to surmise that there is some contrived reason for that, too.

notice they put him in some silky shorts so we don't have to see the 
"package" pressed against the front of his leotard 

its gonna take a lot of hormones to loose the beard 

god only knows what else he shaves

I think the reason why they made him hairy was to kind of "balance out" is effeminate mannerisms.

Sort of send a message that gays can be feminine and masculine at the same time or some twisted, PC bullsh*t reasoning like that.

Wacko

Maybe they were afraid of being accused of negative stereotyping if they put some really girly looking flamer in there.
