I mean, no doubt there's some cynical "woke" virtue-signalling going on in some of these cases. But think about this another way: are you saying that the only reason a same-sex or interracial couple would be in a TV ad is as a result of political correctness? If so, isn't that kind of $@&^# up, and shouldn't we be encouraging more agenda-free depictions of people who don't fit the white, heterosexual norm (which, let's face it, is still accounting for the vast majority of couples represented on TV)?Wokko wrote:Or black male/white female.

Unless the ad is calling attention to itself in some obvious way, I just don't know how anyone can know a given example is a "woke" ad, as opposed to just an ad that happens to feature a same-sex or interracial couple.
