The One With the Metaphorical Tunnel

original tweet

in 2021 Seoul Milk had to apologize for a commercial they made where a man was secretly filming women who were stand-ins for dairy cows

the idyllic pastures dairy industry commercials put cows in are always ridiculous but I’ve never seen something so straight up crassly in your face as just having women as stand in dairy cows. unbelievable

Anya: *at dinner in a restaurant with guests* how are cows food?

Loid: *small info dump about the dairy industry* they are connected elsewhere to, but don’t think I don’t know this is to avoid eating your vegetables

Anya: *didn’t really care, but the lady they were eating with was being annoying in her mind and it was the easiest way to get her to mentally put a lid on it* aw… ok…

Lady: I didn’t know you were so… passionate about the farming industry

Loid: *about to play it off as something else* *heads for actual truth because two weeks ago he was stuck in a 3 hour long ‘but why?’ convo with Anya that left him frustrated* I’m not, but children are curious creatures, so I’ve taken the liberty to find out some things beforehand so I’m not caught off guard

btw you're so much stronger than most people for actively resisting a system that practically forces you to exploit and kill animals. they are the snowflake for not being able to keep their shit together any time someone points out the ethical issue of what they're eating and partaking in. they are the snowflake for not being able to handle your badass morals. you're doing good for many lives and you’re doing an amazing job. xx. 🌱

If you are uncomfortable or feel disgusted in seeing how your food is made, or being told about the suffering that was put into every carcass piece you tear with your greedy teeth, then something's wrong, and you're ignoring it. And you KNOW you're ignoring it! You know who you are, you barbarian!! 😰😰 go vegan and support peace for all 🥰🥰🥰🥬🥬🥬

Cows have been fed a diet of 40% orange juice since 1782 to combat their natural tendency to gravitate towards sources of oranges. Ever since the diet was implemented in farms, cows have stopped mobbing orange orchards to get their fix of oranges. This has greatly reduced incidents such as the Cow Mob of 1879, where cows chew through their fences, or other enclosure materials, to madly rush towards the nearest source(s) of oranges.

Oranges also give their milk a small proportion of opiates from metabolism of certain essentialoils, which gives their milk slightly addictive qualities but also makes the cows addicted to citrus. Exasperating the problem.

Seoul Milk's "Be Careful with Hand Movements When Opening Yogurt”

Seoul Milk has come under criticism after it was revealed that the company posted a notice asking influencers promoting its new product to "avoid using controversial hand gestures" when opening yogurt containers. Netizens claimed that the "hand gesture" Seoul Milk referred to was the 'pinching gesture (🤏),' which some believe is ‘intentionally used to mock a specific male body part’. They argued that it makes no sense to forbid such a natural and unavoidable movement.

According to a report by The Hankyoreh on the 6th, Seoul Milk recently recruited influencers to promote its new product, "Seoul Milk's Rich Greek Yogurt Soft." One of the promo guidelines instructed influencers to "be cautious of using controversial hand movements when opening the yogurt lid or holding the packaging." This came to light after one influencer made a post about it on social media, which quickly gained attention.

One netizen commented, "Is opening the lid with your fingers really considered a hate expression against men? Why do ordinary people have to be scrutinized for every little action?" Another wrote, "How should I open the yogurt lid then? With my middle finger or by gripping it with my fist?"

Seoul Milk's instructions for influencers have been criticized as excessive, with some accusing the company of censoring even the most mundane hand movements in response to certain men's claims that the 'pinching gesture' symbolizes misandry.

Kim Yuri, the head of the National Women’s Labor Union, told The Hankyoreh in a call, "The company's directive, which forbids a hand gesture that ordinary consumers wouldn't even consider intentional, is irrational." She added, "I worry that Seoul Milk is only incorporating biased messages into its marketing strategy."

As the controversy grew, Seoul Milk said in a call with The Hankyoreh on the same day, "We presented guidelines to block social controversy and focus attention on the product itself," and "We deleted the controversial phrase and revised it on the afternoon of the 5th."

Despite these explanations, public criticism has not subsided. This is not the first time Seoul Milk has been accused of misogynistic promotion, and some netizens are saying they will boycott the company.

In 2021, Seoul Milk faced backlash after releasing a promotional video on their YouTube channel that compared women to dairy cows. The 52-second video featured a woman in white drinking water from a leaf, only to transform into a cow after being startled by a man with a camera.

At the time, netizens criticized the ad for likening women to cows and including scenes reminiscent of illegal filming: "How could such a backwards video be aired in this day and age?" Seoul Milk later issued an apology, saying, "We sincerely apologize to all consumers who felt uncomfortable with the advertisement," and "We will pay more careful attention to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future."

In 2003, Seoul Milk staged a performance in front of the public and journalists, where three naked women were covered in flour and sprayed with yogurt. Four Seoul Milk employees, including the marketing director, were later fined by the court for public indecency.
