“they never explicitly looked at the camera and said ‘i am experiencing immense grief’ so how was i supposed to know??” i don’t know what to tell you, man. if a story doesn’t spoon-feed you the character's internal emotional state like a jar of mashed peas, you guys just willingly starve. subtext is not a myth, i promise it won't bite you.

idk perhaps this is too early 2000s internet safety module of me but the amount of information you guys demand from each other is weird

stay vigilant. there are still people out there who will try to convince you that eating fruit is somehow bad for your body

I don't think those ads are trying to convince people opposed to their product. I think they're priming the people who already wanted/use the product to dismiss any concerns as being ridiculous.
