Victoria's Secret CANCELS Woke Campaign After Ugly Women Ads Cause DROP In Sales

[gifthorse]

You’d think that “wear our expensive underwear and you’ll still be gross” isn’t a good selling point.

The last day I shoped at VS was the day a confused man with a whale tail asked if he could help me find something. I then knew VS didn't understand what I as a customer was looking for. Not many women want a Trans woman with a stubble to help them find a bra to fit. I just said no and walked out.

In 9th grade there was a girl at my school I was soo jealous of. She was beyond gorgeous, and I thought if that's how all pretty girls look then I must be hideous. In college my roommates and I turn on the Victoria's Secret fashion show and to my surprise, she was walking in it! That's when I realized the girl I compared myself to wasn't average hot girl pretty. She was in the top 0.0001% freak of nature pretty. It actually made me feel better about my insecure early high school days. Point is, people who hit the genetic lottery looks wise are always going to exist. Who better to excel in a career completely based on looks? We live in such a weird society where we no longer pick people most fit for a certain job. We all have different strengths, and that's a beautiful thing.

My wife worked there for nine years awhile ago and we’ve been laughing at their attempts at this crap.

I used to spend thousands at Victoria's Secret but then the ads started showing men and plus size women modeling the clothes. The final straw was when they hired Megan Rapino.

They tried so hard to be on the right side of history, they ended up on the wrong side of bankruptcy.

[septillion]

What?! Women don't buy lingerie so they can look like a 40-year-old teenage boy? Shocking!

[newwavepop]

it is so soul crushing and sickening to live in a world where someone like that Rapino women has gotten SO many opportunities and sponsorships. im so tired of seeing all the WRONG people get all the breaks.

The VS stock price was $74 in 2021 and is now $17. That's billions of dollars of lost market cap. That's why they're really freaking out.

[moreammo]

When a company starts using words like inclusion, equality or diversity, I am out. Those 3 words alone tells you what the company is woke and they are pushing an agenda not actually reaching out to the target market. I hope they don’t recover.

[digitalhunter]

Megan Rapone is the worst brand ambassador of all time.

[Aireck]

Ironically their ugly campaign told people what ugly is so if you didn't know you were ugly, now you know.

[anonony]

I'm a man and I admit the ads where they show attractive women play to my base instincts. When I see a hot girl wearing a hot outfit I think to myself that I would like to see my girlfriend wearing that same outfit. When I see an obese person wearing the outfit I literally just laugh, it's absurd

Stop buying from these companies altogether. They made their choice let them live with their bad decisions.

They don't deserve our money

[thedomesticengineer]

I completely gave up my career after having my 3rd son. Kids do better with a parent in the home all the time. To look after them, to stay on top of their education etc. I miss it sometimes and yeah it’s hard staying home with them all the time but they’re worth it. I sacrifice my career, I don’t go getting my hair and nails done anymore going on 10 years now, my husband sacrifices by working his tail off working overtime etc. it’s just something we discussed and I was willing to take a backseat in the earning dept and he was willing to step up. It’s best for us. He doesn’t “control” the money. I do discuss before going shopping for clothes and stuff for kids just to make sure we are all good and nothing else takes precedent (like repairs on home) but we budget as any normal family does.

[jaredschuster]

Imagine thinking, lets totally change our brand image in the complete opposite way, and thinking this will definitely get more people to buy.

[lftr_react]

Hold on... You're saying the dour, bitter, negative, male hating section of the public isn't interested in the garments designed to attract men? NO WAY!!

[corneliustalmadge]

The Victoria’s Secret catalog was the most stuck together catalog pre internet.

[Corkfish]

And they're just figuring this out??? How much do some of these executives get paid to screw up a business?

[realimbored]

My sister tried applying to Victoria’s Secret 10 years ago and they declined it because they thought she was trolling when she put her legal name as Victoria 🤡

Looks like she dodged a woke bullet 🤡🤡🤡
