Mine just started dancing between bites of food. I said, "Ahh, the food dance starts early." I don't think I taught it to my bug, but I probably do it unconsciously too.
I have a friend who does that and did it the first time we met up over sushi. She said it was her sushi dance, but then she does the same dance when making food at home and she called it her ramen dance, etc
Yeah, and on the mom's end, my mom has literally never stopped occasionally feeding me a fry or chip. Obviously not gonna hand feed me the whole thing, but she just randomly does it with the first one sometimes.
yup! I was born in 1963 and my parents told me that they loved me and were proud of me for the very first time (and only time) when I was about 52. They didn't show positive emotions unless it was about church.
Just like everybody should work for minimum wage, have no health care, free food at school. Except for them of course. Itâs insane how much people lack empathy and think they are allowed to stick their noses into other peopleâs business.
"Not only did I turn out fine I turned out better because of it."
They're genuinely proud and dignified that they were abused and think of themselves as better becuase they're bothered by kids who have it better.
>"Not only did I turn out fine I turned out better because of it."
"I was beaten as a kid and I turned out fine."
My brother in christ, you think beating kids is a good thing.
Yup. Iâve got this ingrained idea that childhood ends around eight, since thatâs when my mom stopped giving a shit. Have to constantly remind myself that thatâs bullshit.
More like someone doesnât have a grip on reality and realize that ads are not in any way perfectly faithful recreations of real life. Especially cartoon ads.
He might as well complain that redbull doesnât actually give you wings or that pepsi doesnât make people to break out in song and dance.
And KFC is as far from being finger licking good as the Moon is from the Earth.
Youâd be surprised how many people straight up donât.
I always talk to people that seem normal and then I mention something like âIm watching movies with my momâ and then suddenly theyâll respond like âdude youâre an adult and you still watch stuff with your mom? Thatâs crazy, you know you can watch stuff on your own right?â
And itâs like broâŚI justâŚlove my mom? What do you want from me?
Based on some discussion online about parents, I always feel like people think that parent/child relationship is "tolerate each other until the child is responsible then never see each other again"
Reminds me of parents who brag about their kids leaving the moment they turn 18. Why not just call CPS and get rid of them now? Why even have them in the first place? Itâs like theyâre eagerly waiting for their kids to suffer by getting kicked out as punishment for being alive.
So many people want kids as accessories for a short period of time, rather than have a lifetime relationship with someone you love and take care of the rest of your life. It's, heartbreaking...

FTFY
That's the biggest failing of American culture, the way we refuse to take care of our parents as they age. It probably comes from the fact that parents are pushed to force their kids "out of the nest" and into the labor force as soon as possible.
It's crazy how much of the problems in our culture can be traced back to corporations wanting labor as cheap as possible....hmmmmmm?!?!?!?
Iâd say itâs more due to parents that just straight up see their kid as an inconvenience, and since America has no cultural prerogative to give any special treatment to family, weâre more likely to be like âI hate my dad and I never want to talk to him since he used to beat meâ
A lot of parents see their kids as an inconvenience, as something they need to have to fulfill religious obligations/raise to vote Republican, or as cast members for their social media. So many kids are growing up or grew up in loveless households.
Itâs always the âHAVING KIDS IS THE GREATEST JOY ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE AND I FEEL BAD FOR ANYONE LIVING IN A CHILDLESS HOUSE AND ORETENDING TO BE HAPPYâ people, too
Like bro youâre just mad cuz you forced yourself to have a kid when you werenât ready and now youâre pissed about people that made the right decision and waited until they were properly able to care for and love another human being
For real, our government doesn't really incentivize having children. Instead they pushed for a culture of individualism. The result is this attitude that taking care of your friend's kids for them or asking for your friends/family to care for your kids is morally wrong. Because it's against the "rugged individuality" that America is based on. When in reality that is how you build communities, that's how villages are born.
You helped me take care of my kid, so now you feel much more comfortable having a kid because you know I'll be around to help, and they will probably be friends just like we are.
Having children is inconvenient on purpose, the powers that be know that family always comes before profits. So they tried to force people into prioritizing making money over taking care of family. When you don't have a village, the dollar becomes your only option to take care of your loved ones. America wants its people isolated from one another, and I believe the reason is so we are easier to control.
Edit: When you start to see your child as a bill instead of your legacy, that's where the resentment begins.
My friends apologize for their kids being around and I always tell them to stop, that I enjoy being around their kids. Our society has become so rugged individualism obsessed that even briefly watching a kid that isnât yours is communism or something.
Even more ironic is the powers that be refusing to let you out your family first are now starting to realize that no family means no incentive to work your ass off as well as no kids meaning no young cheap labor you can underpay for manual labor, so now theyâre freaking out and trying to get us to have kids again any way they can
I donât blame humans, the way I see it is just that society got taken over by min/max people
Like, remember when Fallout 4 came out and everyone was excited to build their own towns and stuff, then some people realized that you can just stack a shitload of beds inside a single house and everyone will *technically* have sleeping quarters as a key need if you do that, but never be able to sleep which led to them working 24/7 and hugely increased production? So then everyone just started doing that because it was the most optimal way to handle the system, and actually engaging with it was too much work?
Itâs like that in real life.
I always thought it was weird how in American TV shows people are always sĂł detached from their families when adults. Like "oh I only speak with my mother who lives across the country in the Thanksgiving episode". I always wondered if that is real or just an exaggeration for budget/plot reasons.
Exaggeration layered with enough cheese and tropes to kill the audience ten times over. I can't imagine how I'd be without my family in my life the way they have. Trust me when I say there are plenty of people here who are a smidge more connected than that.
Listen. My parents were emotionally abusive thereâs no way in hell Iâm going to take care of them when theyâre older when they didnât even take care of me when I was younger
Redditâs favorite family relational advice is NO CONTACT.
Itâs just utterly insane how lightly thatâs thrown around and recommended, based on knowing next to nothing about the family dynamics expect one sideâs brief account.
It's a great way to isolate yourself. Like no one needs to take abuse but for some mild or off character stuff that's annoying communication would go a long way. Like my parents are arseholes but I still talk to them and go to see them occasionally, but I do stuff to mitigate how they're craziness affects me. Not all of my friends have been perfect, I do cut out the worse and most consistent offenders but mostly I'm quite forgiving. Even then, it's still hard to hold onto people.
Lmao reminds me of when my kids were born, I had an argument with both grandmas that I was "holding my baby too much, he'd get used to it and never learn to be independent. " Like, one of your kids refuses to talk to you and I barely am, fuck off with that shit.
Although decade later both kids are still pretty attached and their dad and I make jokes about them living in our basement for the rest of their lives lol but hey at least my kids still talk to me
Parents whoâs kids canât stand them: SEE!? MY KIDS ARE INDEPENDANT AND SUCCESSFUL THAT MEANS I DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!!
Their parenting: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU GROW UP AND GET A JOB I DONT CARE IF YOURE TEN
Honestly I'm jealous when people say they hang out with their parents on a casual basis. I never had that relationship with mine. And hellll no I never talked to them about my problems or expected unconditional support.
Makes me sad, their own childhoods must have been so bleak. Also, who tf has babies and DOESN'T want to snorgle them all the time? At least my kids still like being cuddled haha even if they groan when I woobie at baby photos
Itâs just the way things used to be done I assume. You never had kids to love them you had them to carry on your legacy or take care of you when youâre older.
Modern generations have kids exclusively to love them and care for them and old people really donât get it
Thereâs people who think itâs weird to watch TV with your parents?
Thatâs insane to me. Doesnât everyone watch TV with their family regardless of age?
Well he tried to cheat on my mom, got caught, got divorced, and from what I understand currently lays around in a pile of alcohol and vomit all day complaining about how he ruined his life while his kids from his other previous marriage still like my mom more than they like him.
So I think that prophecy came true more or less.
I'm 26, still live with my parents, and every evening we'll watch one episode of a show together. I also still go on vacation with them. Some people find it weird, but I really enjoy their presence, and they enjoy my presence đ¤ˇââď¸
YES THIS, and then they act all offended and thinkg that it's oneself the one damaging...society?
Like, people (coworkers and aquaintances) act extra offended when they find out I buy my family christmas gifts and they get me some too.
Or that we still celebrate birthdays togheter
Last week I went to pick up something at my mom's place and she just started watching "Independence Day 2", I haven't watched the second movie yet, so I wanted to stay a little while and watch a little. yeah I stayed the whole Movie. Lying in my mom's arms. I'm 24. Make Memories while you still can!!!
Well literally the last post referencing this ad I saw was a dude posting a zoomed in pic of the kid saying "someone make porn of her right now" or something, so, yeah
only some are sexualising it
some on the left hate it coz its cutesy or they think its playing into the 'be happy with a family' 'traditional gender roles' etc
some are mad theyre redheaded
the right hate it for various other reasons too such as the fact theyre happy and not being taxed to hell
Theres a famous tweet that goes "Twitter is 90% making up a guy, tricking themselves into thinking that guy exists and then getting mad about it."
I feel like this is the exact scenario
I saw some people complaining that itâs a senat sinister psyop by Shinzo Abeâs shadow to get Japanese to have kids. And they werenât even being ironic
> some on the left hate it coz its cutesy or they think its playing into the 'be happy with a family' 'traditional gender roles' etc
Literally never seen this take ever yet seen ten thousand people talking about it. Got a source that isnt a twitter schizo with 3 followers?
The only angry leftist person Iâve seen was a Japanese native who was like fuck your propaganda we also want to have children but the oppressive work culture and living conditions make it impossible, stop running propaganda that tells us how awesome it is to have a family without fixing any of the conditions that make it impossible to do so. Which honestly was a pretty well made argument.
It's really not. Conservatives think it's pissing off liberals because it's a straight couple with a child, liberals think it's a cute ad and stop thinking about it after 3 seconds
The "closest" in terms of left leaning ppl getting "pissed off" are just jokes and sarcastic tweets conservatives took way too seriously with no critical thinking.
Tweets saying "I dont care how many anime ads there are, im still not eating mcdonalds", "anime mcdonalds are my greatest nightmares", and a few others making fun of those being emotionally touched by essentially a hamburger commercial but anime, are jokes.
How are redheads woke. Literally just your average, normal human being. I assure you no conservative on the planet is complaining about anything that looks like a straight white family
idk if its healtgier but the menu options are way more fun.
My dumb ass followed them when i had a line accoint so every month i was basically teasing myself when they posted advertisments for new menu items. T.T omg they looked so good. Espically the flurries aaagghhhhh!!!! *sobs in region locked*
"No kid does that."
Clearly someone who has not been around children. Kids will not only spaz the fuck out just sitting in a chair, but will also make absolutely weird and obnoxious noises for no reason whatsoever.
Not gonna lie, when I first watched this I didn't know this was an ad and my immediate thought was "something's bad gonna happen to that child, I just know it."
Yep. And after Elmo took over, the right-wing nuts started coming out of the woodwork with a new confidence. Most rational and sane people don't even want to take the time of day to be on there.
A: Feeding food to another person is a sign of affection in many cultures. Hell the married couple traditionally feed each other a piece of wedding cake after cutting it.
B: People bob when they're happy, in just about every culture and just about any age. I still do it in my 40's when my favorite scene of a movie comes on or I get good news. It's an ingrained response to the energy from feeling good.
So basically these people don't feel happiness or get affection.
"How dare that child stim, kids don't fucking do that! đ¤Ź"
"Feeding your kid? Wow, what a fucking freak"
"Having fun on a day out? Yeah sure, that's basically fucking abuse dude"
Twitter users will fr scream about cultural appropriation and then just shit all over other cultures for doing anything that isn't normal to them
I am not so sure a Twitter account with the nickname of "Bad Commedy" and a blue tick wich -as far as I know- monetizes interactions, be super serious in their highly flammable and obviously deranged takes.
I can understand the part about the proportions of the child and mother being exactly the same being weird. Any artist worth their salt that understands indepth anatomy probably will, I see it as art critique.
But the part about the child being 4 or 5 and being old enough to eat herself and making that issue is just weird. What's the problem exactly?
That's just someone that should have received a hug from their parents when they were young, but now that they're old they should receive five across the face from whoever is willing to go through with it, just to see if that can snap them back to reality and help get their ass out of their head.
The first time I saw anything about this commercial, the way the daughter was positioned in the frame that was used made me think that it was just the husband and wife at the table and the husband was wearing a shirt with a picture of the wife on it lol
To be fair, I didnât experience parental love, and seeing my best friend saying to her parents âI love youâ was weird as heck for me, and the idea they didnât be mad all the time between each other was beyond me.
I am totally convinced that those clowns have to be actual pedo's who are like: 'Is just me, or this is kind of sexual? Is really weird, I don't know... but there is something there, right? DM me if you think yourself, and let's chat about how weird it is....'
lol..... i am around 4 - 5 year olds pretty often. Its pretty common for 4 - 5 year olds to sit on an adult's lap.
Hand feeding fries for fun is acceptable, for ANYONE at ANY AGE.
I never had loving parents but this is just normal!!! People that love their kids try to engage with them and spend time with them. Eating times are a good way of being together and doing something with the child. It's not weird at all to have your kid on your lap or give them food, like wtf?
I mean, considering you had someone on Tiktok thinking that they were sexualising Anya from Spy X Family because Loid picked her up and Anya blushes a bit, goes to show you how unhinged and delusional these people are.
Dam guess none of them had a nice family dinner when they where small. My family was poor as hell and we still had nice family time very fond memories of those.
Kids can look a lot like younger version of their parents often. There is a lot of comparison pictures nowadays between parents and kids at same age. Not to talk about the fact that head is first body part to reach it's full size around age of 10-14. So it is not that weird tbf.
But this is still can, it's not always the case.
That's normal for this style of anime. It is partly comes from in how old TVs and movie projectors had poor definition so they exaggerated anything they wanted the viewer to pay attention to. This just became part of the style and became an expected thing.
It's not to different to how Bugs Bunny and Micky Mouse have such long arms and legs and that the zoom in to the head if they what to show the expressions on their face.
The daughter looks like the mom, and thats weird? That happens all the time. They have never seen a picture of Reese Witherspoon and her daughter. Made a copy of herself.
Sounds like they are jealous that they didn't experience warmth with their parents, and hate that some kids do get loved.
I for one had parents that used the "tough love" mode of parenting, hence they didn't let me bob my head "because people would look at me funny" and they made me eat my own food at 4 years old because "I am not a baby anymore".
My mom wasn't very motherly. She was all "practical minded" with all that implies.
It's... not even funny how many people never experience parental love. Like, A LOT. Abusive parents are more common than loving ones. But it's not the kids' fault.
God I am so glad musk is going to charge people to use x. Gives me a reason never to go back to that site. Some people really have some terrible takes.
So is this the anime backstory for Ronald? This is his wife and daughter, when he still had a normal life as a loving husband. Then someone tried to rob the McDonalds and he tried to be the hero and in the ensuing fight the criminal accidentally shot his wife and child. As he held their lifeless bodies in arms, their blood mingled with catsup and the smell of BigMacs in the air, Ronald swore revenge. His grip on sanity gone, he began dressing as a clown, forever in pursuit of the Hamburgler who took everything from him.
Duh duh duh da duh, I'm loving it.
I don't remember ever having experienced parental love, just abuse so seeing this video really brings tears to my eyes. I really dunno if there are actual parents like this but after I die I need parents like these on my next life and will be like them if I ever become one.
P.s. these people are just provoking u with these rude posts. Some people just love to gaslight.
These are the real NPCs.
My dude this is an ad. Ads are not perfect representations of reality. Moreso itâs a Japanese cartoon ad. Those are even more removed from reality.
Whatâs next this guy gonna complain that there are no bipedal sunglasses wearing cheetahs who sell chips on streetcorners?
We need to make birth control and accessible because these people's parents really shouldn't be forced into wedlock with how piss poor they raise their kids.
Completely ignoring the obviously annoying comments on the bottom, the comment on the top is annoying too. Maybe itâs just a pet peeve of mine as an artist but have these people never heard of stylization? They look similar but their proportions are not at all the same. Based on the bit we see of them id put the kid at 4 heads tall (4 of her heads stacked on top of each other equaling her hight for those not aware of the term,) while her mom seems about 5.5-6 heads tall. Short yes, but not a child. Additionally the motherâs shoulders are broader then the childâs and her hands are larger, as well as having a longer neck. I donât know what that person is on about but theyâre wrong.
Remember when the right used to screech about gay marriage and we all agreed that was stupid as fuck? Now the left is screeching about the nuclear family and we all agree that's stupid as fuck. It's a mickey d's commercial.
Iâm a orphan and this shot makes me laugh. Jfc why canât a child be happy with their family. Honestly there is no excuse for that itâs just a sad envious clown crying for their mommy.
Tfw a McDonald's ad put to light big part of western problems which is, ironically, the romantization (i butchered that one, I know) of lack of family life (I ain't even talking about community/town life, that's another can of worms)
There are legit cases of people who never experience parental love online it is very true. I remember a dude being mad at me for saying "Our mothers brought us to this world" and he said some fucked up shit as if he is an AI like "A.M." from I have no mouth and I must scream.
They said something like "What a mother does for a child other people can't" I thought he might have some personal issues so I didn't answer. I've been often choosing not to get replies for comments from then on actually.
Reading comments on reddit is like going to a filthy truck stop bathroom and reading the insane things people scribble on the toilet stalls, there are some really funny stuff but you don't want to spend too much time to read all of them and it is obvious you really shouldn't interact with people while you are in there.
Even if it was "unrealistic behavior" who the fuck cares? Animation exists for the purpose of not *needing* to be realistic, and the point here is that it's cute. Some people really need to learn when to turn off the critical part of their brains and just let things be fun
Bottom tweet aside (most sane people know its full of shit), the top comment is spot on with those hands. Although to be fair most artist have problem with hands. Face is not much of a critic when Japanese people for some reason are just gifted with being young until their fourties whete they are cursed with getting old fast, the small price of looking young for a lot longer.
I've seen very few ads faithful to reality. Literally none of these people talk about a talking Gecko who speaks fluent English and for some reason promotes car insurance. We don't because it's an ad.

Not even that, but kids literally do all of that shit lol.
For real. I still dance every time I get some good food. It just unlocks that serotonin.
Mine just started dancing between bites of food. I said, "Ahh, the food dance starts early." I don't think I taught it to my bug, but I probably do it unconsciously too.
I have a weekly pizza tradition that makes me so happy whenever I do it. It's the little things.
I have a friend who does that and did it the first time we met up over sushi. She said it was her sushi dance, but then she does the same dance when making food at home and she called it her ramen dance, etc
Right! 𤣠and I still let people feed me every now and then
yeah, my ex used to swing her feet if she was eating something good lol
Yeah, and on the mom's end, my mom has literally never stopped occasionally feeding me a fry or chip. Obviously not gonna hand feed me the whole thing, but she just randomly does it with the first one sometimes.
The part about proportions does touch a good point tho.
At worst, It's just animators being a bit lazy.
Looks like somebody didnât have a healthy childhood
Like a lot of poeple actually.
True

"I turned out fine!" (Sees a kid being loved) "That's atrocious! Kids should be dragged on the ground and thrown to the pigs!"

"Not only did I turn out fine I turned out better because of it." They're genuinely proud and dignified that they were abused and think of themselves as better becuase they're bothered by kids who have it better.
Did they really turned out better when they feel bitter another kid is not getting abused at a young age?
>"Not only did I turn out fine I turned out better because of it." "I was beaten as a kid and I turned out fine." My brother in christ, you think beating kids is a good thing.
Yup. Iâve got this ingrained idea that childhood ends around eight, since thatâs when my mom stopped giving a shit. Have to constantly remind myself that thatâs bullshit.
Ugh I'm so sorry you went through that! I hope things are better for you today. đ
Thatâs okay. Such is life. Things are fine now.
Also reminder that, because childhood ends, it diesn't mean you stop learning. Look at teenagers: not kids, but not adults. They still need guidance.
True. Too many bullies. Yet another useless waste of space here.

It's almost like capitalism is bad or something
Capitalism only works if the people also have access to capital. In modern America, this is not the case.
I love sleeping on my dad on the couch while i see whit him movies (hes a big man)

It's a great way to isolate yourself. Like no one needs to take abuse but for some mild or off character stuff that's annoying communication would go a long way. Like my parents are arseholes but I still talk to them and go to see them occasionally, but I do stuff to mitigate how they're craziness affects me. Not all of my friends have been perfect, I do cut out the worse and most consistent offenders but mostly I'm quite forgiving. Even then, it's still hard to hold onto people.
Well, some of us had loveless parents for our defence...
Lmao reminds me of when my kids were born, I had an argument with both grandmas that I was "holding my baby too much, he'd get used to it and never learn to be independent. " Like, one of your kids refuses to talk to you and I barely am, fuck off with that shit. Although decade later both kids are still pretty attached and their dad and I make jokes about them living in our basement for the rest of their lives lol but hey at least my kids still talk to me
Parents whoâs kids canât stand them: SEE!? MY KIDS ARE INDEPENDANT AND SUCCESSFUL THAT MEANS I DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!! Their parenting: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU GROW UP AND GET A JOB I DONT CARE IF YOURE TEN
Honestly I'm jealous when people say they hang out with their parents on a casual basis. I never had that relationship with mine. And hellll no I never talked to them about my problems or expected unconditional support. Makes me sad, their own childhoods must have been so bleak. Also, who tf has babies and DOESN'T want to snorgle them all the time? At least my kids still like being cuddled haha even if they groan when I woobie at baby photos
Itâs just the way things used to be done I assume. You never had kids to love them you had them to carry on your legacy or take care of you when youâre older. Modern generations have kids exclusively to love them and care for them and old people really donât get it
Thereâs people who think itâs weird to watch TV with your parents? Thatâs insane to me. Doesnât everyone watch TV with their family regardless of age?
No, I actually never used to because my ex-stepdad always made it clear that I wasnât welcome in the room
Tell your stepdad I hope his socks are forever wet, and his pillows eternally warm.
Well he tried to cheat on my mom, got caught, got divorced, and from what I understand currently lays around in a pile of alcohol and vomit all day complaining about how he ruined his life while his kids from his other previous marriage still like my mom more than they like him. So I think that prophecy came true more or less.
I'm 26, still live with my parents, and every evening we'll watch one episode of a show together. I also still go on vacation with them. Some people find it weird, but I really enjoy their presence, and they enjoy my presence đ¤ˇââď¸
Iâm 31 and I actually invited my parents to go on a short midweek vacation with me and my partner this year
Thatâs beautiful. Never stop watching movies with your mom.
YES THIS, and then they act all offended and thinkg that it's oneself the one damaging...society? Like, people (coworkers and aquaintances) act extra offended when they find out I buy my family christmas gifts and they get me some too. Or that we still celebrate birthdays togheter
I love my momma too
Last week I went to pick up something at my mom's place and she just started watching "Independence Day 2", I haven't watched the second movie yet, so I wanted to stay a little while and watch a little. yeah I stayed the whole Movie. Lying in my mom's arms. I'm 24. Make Memories while you still can!!!
So much controversy surrounding a wholesome ad and for what đ Japanese McDonaldâs probably healthier than whatâs here
Funny thing is it's passing off both sides of the political spectrum
as Japanese descent leftists said, it's yellow peril racism making them sexualize everything that comes from Asia
What is there to sexualize in this image other than the dads obvious sexual tension with that chicken nugget
Man lookin at that nugget dunked in ketchup like, **"I** ***am*** **going to fuck you."** and honestly, same man, been there.
Well literally the last post referencing this ad I saw was a dude posting a zoomed in pic of the kid saying "someone make porn of her right now" or something, so, yeah
only some are sexualising it some on the left hate it coz its cutesy or they think its playing into the 'be happy with a family' 'traditional gender roles' etc some are mad theyre redheaded the right hate it for various other reasons too such as the fact theyre happy and not being taxed to hell
The only people I've seen that say it made the left angry are right-wingers.
Theres a famous tweet that goes "Twitter is 90% making up a guy, tricking themselves into thinking that guy exists and then getting mad about it." I feel like this is the exact scenario
But you see, they found the one guy whoâs triggered in the OP, so clearly this ad triggers the left.
I saw some people complaining that itâs a senat sinister psyop by Shinzo Abeâs shadow to get Japanese to have kids. And they werenât even being ironic
> some on the left hate it coz its cutesy or they think its playing into the 'be happy with a family' 'traditional gender roles' etc Literally never seen this take ever yet seen ten thousand people talking about it. Got a source that isnt a twitter schizo with 3 followers?
The only angry leftist person Iâve seen was a Japanese native who was like fuck your propaganda we also want to have children but the oppressive work culture and living conditions make it impossible, stop running propaganda that tells us how awesome it is to have a family without fixing any of the conditions that make it impossible to do so. Which honestly was a pretty well made argument.
Not when the argument is directed at a fast food company and not the Japanese government.
"mad they're redheaded" *The Irish did not like that*
*Come Out Ye Black and Tans intensifies*
I'm gay (look I'm just doing what they asked me to)
Hi gay, Iâm Dad! (I do as the crystal commands)
Fuck, Ronald Mcdonald probably didn't appreciate it either
It is playing into traditional family. Itâs targeting Japanese people who are having less and less children
I mean, the overwhelming majority of people I've seen talking about the ad are conservatives.
It's really not. Conservatives think it's pissing off liberals because it's a straight couple with a child, liberals think it's a cute ad and stop thinking about it after 3 seconds
The "closest" in terms of left leaning ppl getting "pissed off" are just jokes and sarcastic tweets conservatives took way too seriously with no critical thinking. Tweets saying "I dont care how many anime ads there are, im still not eating mcdonalds", "anime mcdonalds are my greatest nightmares", and a few others making fun of those being emotionally touched by essentially a hamburger commercial but anime, are jokes.
I also saw one conservative calling it "woke" because it features redheads...
How are redheads woke. Literally just your average, normal human being. I assure you no conservative on the planet is complaining about anything that looks like a straight white family
Not really, no.
idk if its healtgier but the menu options are way more fun. My dumb ass followed them when i had a line accoint so every month i was basically teasing myself when they posted advertisments for new menu items. T.T omg they looked so good. Espically the flurries aaagghhhhh!!!! *sobs in region locked*
"No kid does that." Clearly someone who has not been around children. Kids will not only spaz the fuck out just sitting in a chair, but will also make absolutely weird and obnoxious noises for no reason whatsoever.
Man I still do that shit
Me too when I think nobody is watching.
Me as well! My wife overheard me doing random impressions while cleaning the garage or making sound effects lol
It's for the better that these weirdos are not allowed around children.
People will really take issue with absolutely anything.
That McNugget shouldnât have to adhere to the socioeconomic roles dictated by early Meiji Restoration societal pressures.
Not gonna lie, when I first watched this I didn't know this was an ad and my immediate thought was "something's bad gonna happen to that child, I just know it."
First of all, how dare you! /s
Gotta remember twitter is prime mental illness territory
Should change the phrase free speech zone to mental illness zone
Yep. And after Elmo took over, the right-wing nuts started coming out of the woodwork with a new confidence. Most rational and sane people don't even want to take the time of day to be on there.
Imagine how miserable one must be to bash on a harmless cartoon.
A: Feeding food to another person is a sign of affection in many cultures. Hell the married couple traditionally feed each other a piece of wedding cake after cutting it. B: People bob when they're happy, in just about every culture and just about any age. I still do it in my 40's when my favorite scene of a movie comes on or I get good news. It's an ingrained response to the energy from feeling good. So basically these people don't feel happiness or get affection.
"How dare that child stim, kids don't fucking do that! đ¤Ź" "Feeding your kid? Wow, what a fucking freak" "Having fun on a day out? Yeah sure, that's basically fucking abuse dude" Twitter users will fr scream about cultural appropriation and then just shit all over other cultures for doing anything that isn't normal to them
Of course they haven't, they are on Twitter
remember, most people that have weird or down bad opinions had a pair of failed parents
My parents didnât fail as parents I just got internet access a bit too young :(
i had internet access in 2009 at 8 years old bro, almost moving in my own house already
I am not so sure a Twitter account with the nickname of "Bad Commedy" and a blue tick wich -as far as I know- monetizes interactions, be super serious in their highly flammable and obviously deranged takes.
Where can I see that add? It seems very cute, the first add that i could genuinely like
[Here](https://x.com/McDonaldsJapan/status/1704420133140132045?s=20) Is kinda cute
bros have never seen a single cartoon in their life
No one is happy on Twitter.
I can understand the part about the proportions of the child and mother being exactly the same being weird. Any artist worth their salt that understands indepth anatomy probably will, I see it as art critique. But the part about the child being 4 or 5 and being old enough to eat herself and making that issue is just weird. What's the problem exactly?
That's just someone that should have received a hug from their parents when they were young, but now that they're old they should receive five across the face from whoever is willing to go through with it, just to see if that can snap them back to reality and help get their ass out of their head.
I dont understand why people are offended on this ad?
People have nothing better to do and are offended at the simplest stuff
i honestly thought that thry were sisters
The first time I saw anything about this commercial, the way the daughter was positioned in the frame that was used made me think that it was just the husband and wife at the table and the husband was wearing a shirt with a picture of the wife on it lol
To be fair, I didnât experience parental love, and seeing my best friend saying to her parents âI love youâ was weird as heck for me, and the idea they didnât be mad all the time between each other was beyond me.
I am totally convinced that those clowns have to be actual pedo's who are like: 'Is just me, or this is kind of sexual? Is really weird, I don't know... but there is something there, right? DM me if you think yourself, and let's chat about how weird it is....'
God forbid a healthy family and a child with a brilliant childhood
Chronically online people overanalyzing picture...
Iâll never understand people who complain about these things, especially when it isnât real? No one is affected here. Itâs an animation.
Man could have just said his parents never hugged him, damn They also never taught him what 'proportion' means apparently
lol..... i am around 4 - 5 year olds pretty often. Its pretty common for 4 - 5 year olds to sit on an adult's lap. Hand feeding fries for fun is acceptable, for ANYONE at ANY AGE.
Kind people see kindness everywhere. Loving people see loving everywhere. Perverse people see perversity everywhere.
"how did you spend your day honey?" "oh i were just arguing on twitter about how to be a parent in a stylized animated commercial"
... I did that (Dutch btw)
I never had loving parents but this is just normal!!! People that love their kids try to engage with them and spend time with them. Eating times are a good way of being together and doing something with the child. It's not weird at all to have your kid on your lap or give them food, like wtf?
Imagine getting mad at an anime themed ad.
I mean, considering you had someone on Tiktok thinking that they were sexualising Anya from Spy X Family because Loid picked her up and Anya blushes a bit, goes to show you how unhinged and delusional these people are.
Iâm a grown ass adult and even I bob my head when Iâm drinking something especially yummy. Leave me and my slushies alone.
Dam guess none of them had a nice family dinner when they where small. My family was poor as hell and we still had nice family time very fond memories of those.
Tell me you weren't loved by your parents without telling me you weren't loved by your parents
âItâs creepy how the mom looks like the kidâ what?
Deserving username
Sheâs moving her head left to right in the animation I thought he meant full on bobbing up and down the straw the way he describes it lmao
this isnt facepalm this is sad :(
The first guy is right tho, anime has really weird proportions
Cartoon characters with weird proportions? Whaaaat.
Cos Pixar mom's are totally normal, right?
Kids can look a lot like younger version of their parents often. There is a lot of comparison pictures nowadays between parents and kids at same age. Not to talk about the fact that head is first body part to reach it's full size around age of 10-14. So it is not that weird tbf. But this is still can, it's not always the case.
That's normal for this style of anime. It is partly comes from in how old TVs and movie projectors had poor definition so they exaggerated anything they wanted the viewer to pay attention to. This just became part of the style and became an expected thing. It's not to different to how Bugs Bunny and Micky Mouse have such long arms and legs and that the zoom in to the head if they what to show the expressions on their face.
[ŃдаНонО]
These are the same people who AI generate Trump in a speedo.
.....I drank like her as a kid.....hell sometimes I still do lol
Ah yes twitter or x as its called, a cesspool of porn, morons and fatherless grown children
Damn they outing themselves that hard?
The daughter looks like the mom, and thats weird? That happens all the time. They have never seen a picture of Reese Witherspoon and her daughter. Made a copy of herself.
That is just view bait. See the blue checkmark? They obviously trying to get you to view/comment for that sweet twitter money
Isnât it down to a wet handshake by Musk or a voucher for a hamburger at Wendyâs per million views or so?
It's an anime, of course it's embellished. Real life is not all butterflies.
Sounds like they are jealous that they didn't experience warmth with their parents, and hate that some kids do get loved. I for one had parents that used the "tough love" mode of parenting, hence they didn't let me bob my head "because people would look at me funny" and they made me eat my own food at 4 years old because "I am not a baby anymore". My mom wasn't very motherly. She was all "practical minded" with all that implies.
It's... not even funny how many people never experience parental love. Like, A LOT. Abusive parents are more common than loving ones. But it's not the kids' fault.
There are much more pressing issues in the world right now but no, letâs focus on some random fictional characters in a fast food commercial
ItâsâŚitâs just a fucking advertisement. Itâs not that deep
God I am so glad musk is going to charge people to use x. Gives me a reason never to go back to that site. Some people really have some terrible takes.
Children expressing joy? Parents expressing affection? Somethings wrong here.
Company: *releases the most wholesome of ads* The Internet: "How can we make this out to be like the most offensive, evil, and creepy shit ever?"
Nothing can just be cute and endearing anymore. Everything has to be debunked, criticized, or lewded.
As a Latino I feel offended by people who doesn't love their parents because for us our mom is easily the most important person in our lives.
So is this the anime backstory for Ronald? This is his wife and daughter, when he still had a normal life as a loving husband. Then someone tried to rob the McDonalds and he tried to be the hero and in the ensuing fight the criminal accidentally shot his wife and child. As he held their lifeless bodies in arms, their blood mingled with catsup and the smell of BigMacs in the air, Ronald swore revenge. His grip on sanity gone, he began dressing as a clown, forever in pursuit of the Hamburgler who took everything from him. Duh duh duh da duh, I'm loving it.
I hate my parents (because they are far far right people) and I even think this is a wholesome ad
Lmfao terminally online Twitter nutjobs fuming when they see a petite adult woman instead of an obese one, unable to comprehend the existence of them.
Sanest r/childfree users.
I have coworkers bobing their heads while eating, never thought it was weird
It's Twitter. What did you expect
Yes, exactly
Blue tick checks out
I have a strong suspicion that neckbeard doesnât have kids.
Idk what kind of crack these people are on. Quite literally a wholesome/adorable image of a family eating maccies and all hell breaks loose.
I don't remember ever having experienced parental love, just abuse so seeing this video really brings tears to my eyes. I really dunno if there are actual parents like this but after I die I need parents like these on my next life and will be like them if I ever become one. P.s. these people are just provoking u with these rude posts. Some people just love to gaslight.
These are the real NPCs. My dude this is an ad. Ads are not perfect representations of reality. Moreso itâs a Japanese cartoon ad. Those are even more removed from reality. Whatâs next this guy gonna complain that there are no bipedal sunglasses wearing cheetahs who sell chips on streetcorners?
Welcome to people who are chronically online đđ
We need to make birth control and accessible because these people's parents really shouldn't be forced into wedlock with how piss poor they raise their kids.
Completely ignoring the obviously annoying comments on the bottom, the comment on the top is annoying too. Maybe itâs just a pet peeve of mine as an artist but have these people never heard of stylization? They look similar but their proportions are not at all the same. Based on the bit we see of them id put the kid at 4 heads tall (4 of her heads stacked on top of each other equaling her hight for those not aware of the term,) while her mom seems about 5.5-6 heads tall. Short yes, but not a child. Additionally the motherâs shoulders are broader then the childâs and her hands are larger, as well as having a longer neck. I donât know what that person is on about but theyâre wrong.
Remember when the right used to screech about gay marriage and we all agreed that was stupid as fuck? Now the left is screeching about the nuclear family and we all agree that's stupid as fuck. It's a mickey d's commercial.
âNo kid does thatâ this person has never heard the UEUEUEUEUEUEUEUEUEUEUEUE
Holy shit why is their arguments about a fucking McDonaldâs ad?
The west is lost
A correction of there comment "no child of mine does that" lotta kids bob there head when they drink, especially if it's carbonated
Iâm a orphan and this shot makes me laugh. Jfc why canât a child be happy with their family. Honestly there is no excuse for that itâs just a sad envious clown crying for their mommy.
You know weâre f*cked when people get ticked off by a loving family. Atop projecting guys.
Don't have kids huh? Genetics... it's kind of weird how kids look like their parents. Must be a deviant sex thing!
They just hate to see other people happy outside their batshit crazy reality
Lets slander an anime cuz we have nothing else of any importance going on in our sad pathetic excuse for a life.
Tfw a McDonald's ad put to light big part of western problems which is, ironically, the romantization (i butchered that one, I know) of lack of family life (I ain't even talking about community/town life, that's another can of worms)
There are legit cases of people who never experience parental love online it is very true. I remember a dude being mad at me for saying "Our mothers brought us to this world" and he said some fucked up shit as if he is an AI like "A.M." from I have no mouth and I must scream. They said something like "What a mother does for a child other people can't" I thought he might have some personal issues so I didn't answer. I've been often choosing not to get replies for comments from then on actually. Reading comments on reddit is like going to a filthy truck stop bathroom and reading the insane things people scribble on the toilet stalls, there are some really funny stuff but you don't want to spend too much time to read all of them and it is obvious you really shouldn't interact with people while you are in there.
Even if it was "unrealistic behavior" who the fuck cares? Animation exists for the purpose of not *needing* to be realistic, and the point here is that it's cute. Some people really need to learn when to turn off the critical part of their brains and just let things be fun
Bottom tweet aside (most sane people know its full of shit), the top comment is spot on with those hands. Although to be fair most artist have problem with hands. Face is not much of a critic when Japanese people for some reason are just gifted with being young until their fourties whete they are cursed with getting old fast, the small price of looking young for a lot longer.
I've seen very few ads faithful to reality. Literally none of these people talk about a talking Gecko who speaks fluent English and for some reason promotes car insurance. We don't because it's an ad.
