It’s not being a snowflake when you’re constantly made to feel less of a woman if you have a flat chest, and these companies know that. You gotta wonder if FIDE would accept a sponsor that enlarged tiny p******.

There are plenty of articles out there stating plainly that men who hold “traditional” views are having trouble dating. Go Google it. I’m sure Mr. Liberals Aren’t Cute has a more circumscribed dating pool. Fewer and fewer women are willing to put up with men who describe anyone who is concerned about issues like this “snowflakes.”

 They are, especially when they claim to speak in the name of everyone, like these women do in the name of every woman. They are not really progressive, they are regressive, in that they call  out anything that triggers their insecurities and then pretend to talk in the name of everyone. No, sorry, they are just speaking about themselves and for themselves.

 Why do you care so much what other women do with their bodies in 2021? 

 As a man I would not even care about an ad for men. It would royally bother me other men trying to talk in my name and claiming it's sexist and that all men are being taking advantage of insecurities etc.

I don’t claim to speak for other women. When did I speak for other women? I expressed my views and those who are likeminded. I don’t care if any woman, or man for that matter, gets a boob job. You do you. I respect the right to choose. All I said is that I would be offended if the ads played on women’s insecurities to sell boob jobs.

Oh ffs. Chess.com ate my post with the red banner for the word p o r n... which was allowed in the past.

Whatever. I'm not retyping it. This topic is ridiculous anyway.

Clearly you don’t understand what likeminded means. If you express a view, and others agree with you, they are likeminded. I can’t possibly be the only person who feels this way.

It can be crude without being misogyny... not everything you dislike oppression.

Related, and extremely weird is: https://hastingschessclub.co.uk/how-some-chess-players-utilise-augmentation/ apparently from July (but not archived by archive.org before yesterday, suggesting that it might be new).  It looks like Hastings Chess club lost or gave up control of the domain quite some time ago, possibly around 2017 - 2018.  

I understand the company wanting some name recognition to help with sales (which will largely be through plastic surgeons or related businesses) so sponsoring chess is not completely out there, and apparently they have been sponsoring women's chess competitions in Russia before now, but the fake chess website is bizarre.

Llama, my man, there are women who think it’s misogynistic, but they are the minority, so don’t go making a straw man. But ads that play on insecurities about sense of identity are cruel and cynical. Imagine: do you have a small package? Does your date look disappointed when you get into the bedroom? Do you feel less of a man? Then PeenyGrow is the solution to all your problems!

That's a fair argument.

I'd say most adds are tongue.png but sure, those type seem especially so.

It's kinda hard to imagine because that sort of thing doesn't exist, but I get what you're saying.

yes I love artificial things... you see some people have artificial but I love natural and artificial... and accepted GMOs if done in a systemic and proper fashion can be of great use!

A mans reproductive organ is not comparable to breasts? Like there are mainly two types of pumps which dont truly serve much of a purpose...Though theyd probably be stepping over the line being sponsored by breast pumps, edit: nipple pumps lmao

There was actually a guy who lost a bet and the cost was getting a boob job. He did it. You can google man loses bet gets breast implants.

Great, I tried to quote this, and got 2 red banners... because you said b o o b.

Because of crap like this, eventually, maybe a month or two from now, I'll get (another) 24 hour mute for no reason.

Thanks chess.com
