Cameltoe Chariot 11,807 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This article...  (Beginning of article copied and pasted below, or go here to read the full thing: https://www.today.com/popculture/lady-gaga-s-makeup-brand-criticized-triggering-ad-t205811) -------------------------------- Lady Gaga's makeup brand criticized for 'triggering' ad resembling self-harm Haus Laboratories shared an advertisement on Instagram that showed an eyeliner pen making rapid slashing movements on a model's inner wrist. Editor's note: The graphic image from the advertisement closely resembles self-harm and could be triggering or disturbing to some readers.  Lady Gaga's makeup brand, Haus Laboratories, is being criticized after an advertisement for a new eyeliner was perceived by fans as "triggering." The advertisement, which was deleted about five hours after it was first posted, showed a "micro-tip" liquid eyeliner pen being used to draw slashes on a model's inner wrist. In the comments section of the post, many said that it was upsetting, especially since there was no trigger warning in the caption. "This brought back some bad memories for several people, including me," wrote one user.

I see it more like Tic-tac-toe but I can see how it would be triggering for some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatican 4,046 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This reaction is overblown, but those pictures are super unprofessional and cheap, so if they got deleted by way of scandal it is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 9,694 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Wait wut? If it was a red color, I could understand....but this? It's not even a direct slash. If it was a slow news day, I guess I could understand making this a story but with everything going on in the world right now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItWasntLaauv 6,392 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Theyâre just swatching makeup. Itâs like saying that âI self harmed my face once, stop doing makeup on your face, itâs problematic.â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartz 11,923 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I mean, I see what they mean. Gaga has to be careful because she is a spokesperson for mental health. This means that everything has to be airtight. It might be a reach to some; but, for someone who knows what it looks like all too well, it might really be triggering. Inside, we are really made the same. đ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 People doing the most and being snowflakes, truly nothing can be done anymore without people complaining they're "triggered" It's becoming way too much at this point.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
