I remember a cat adaptation campaign with the slogan "Grab them by the pussy" right after Trump said it (or when it came out) which is tasteless at best

It is pretty tasteless, I'll give you that. But it's meant to be provocative, I think, and shocking, so the slogan did accomplish its goal.

Yes, they accomplish their goals, but (to come back to my first comment) is it really the right cause or does it alienate people?

Do they accomplish their goals? How many people can you point to who have said that they became a vegan because of PETA?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

That's my point. Their goal is provocation, the right cause would be to convince people which they don't do
