So the versions with a white male harassing a black female are not racist, but when it’s a black male as the criminal, suddenly that’s racist?

Yeah you’re not allowed to do that. The MOJ advert for recruiting prison officers had a similar outcome even though it used a real picture from a prison.

An overreaction. This type of thinking has led to the allowance of terrible crimes against communities; it cannot be allowed to happen again. I will write to the ASA about it.

It’s still on their YT channel, so just FB have removed it.

It’s shit like this that pushes people vote Reform etc. This Orwellian drive to sanitise everything and push asome weird agenda that infantilises everyone.

It’s wild that this can be glossed over like black (or other ethnicities) cant be shown in a negative light.
Banning something that can be true doesn’t make it less true. It just reinforces stereotypes that white people can’t be victims

Impressive that TFL seem to have really gone out of their way to make this balanced… and still get hauled up.
Surely the person who made that decision within the ASA thought ‚hey, this is a really silly decision to be making, it’ll look terrible and cause a lot of issues‘ yet still went ‚yeah, do it‘.
Unless Nigel Farage has a job as a decision maker at the ASA these days.

At the risk of sounding like a whinging leftie. When I’m usually pretty centre on most things… it is obvious why showing a black man harassing a white woman is „problematic“.
Black men harassing white women is a common racist trope that used to be used as justification for lynchings.

The fools at TfL clearly forgot the golden rule of UK advertising.
Positive messaging = ethnic minorities
Negative messaging = white people.

Can we just be normal and agree sexually harassing teens is heinous regardless?

Who tf got offended by that, there are also segment in the same advert of a black man harassing a young white man who’s presumably gay, no problems with that?

Reform claim there are too many black people in advertising, so presumably they will welcome this.

I will never get this country’s obsession with adverts. Too many mixed race families in adverts, this advert shows a black man doing crime we need to ban it, 6 news articles on Sainsbury’s christmas advert.
I will never get it.

It’s an over-reaction, but I also find the over-reaction to the over-reaction hilarious and bizarre.

Imagine you had to roll some dice to generate a character for your poster “bad guy”. You roll 4 for Austrian, 5 for black hair, 1 for a one-inch wide mustache, and 816424 for surname “Shitler”.
Your instinct is to roll again but the redditor in you is saying “actually it was random and fair and re-rolling is exactly the kind of walking-on-eggshells pandering that contributes to the politically correct madness that’s destroying _are country_.”
So you roll again and give Shitler a beard instead.
