An AB/DL Commercial?

[Takadaweird]

Basically, what would you think or how would you react if you saw a Ab/DL commercial. Not a Commercial hinting at the subject, but a strait forward one.

[attendsdiapers]

I would think that I was dreaming, and also that I wasted my time thinking about such unrealistic fantasies.

[erevu]

I think you need to be more specific. Do you mean a bambinos diapers commercial? Even if it were tasteful, I think I'd be shocked that a channel consented to show it. I would also be amazed at how bad of a business decision that would be for a company like bambinos. They would draw much more negativity than they would ever hope to draw in business.

[Takadaweird]

The idea is a commercial aimed at the Ab/Dl Community and how you would react.

Like an ABDL diaper commercial? I don't know if I would want that. Every time I see something about ABDLs show up on TV or in mainstream media, I cringe a little inside. Even if the dearest people in my life (with the exception of my daddy) are aware of the concept of ABDL, that is not something I need to confirm.

I'd probably applaud it as long as the commercial was done tastefully. All of the media attention we get has been horrible to say the least, maybe it's about time we had some positive "exposure".

[Cute_Kitten]

It depends on how it was done.

[gweg]

Gee is Depends starting the revolution to get more AB/DL commercials accepted or what?

[Baby Brian]

Actually Depends is focusing on the population in general with emphasis on incontinence in middle to older aged people.

This is helping us in general, but is only step one. Next we would need to get the population to accept people wearing diapers out of need- at any age.

Step three would be to get everyone to accept people wearing diapers for what ever reason- even AB/DL's.

Skip any step like we see in the media today, and it will not be accepted. We're not the only ones that need to take baby steps after all.

[rusty pins]

What would the commercial be selling?

[Baby Brian]

Public awareness announcement?

Maybe Molicare or Wellness trying to sell a "better diaper" to those in need. I can see it now, stop worrying about what your friends might think and stop worrying about leaks. (whispers) Because they probably need them too. (cuts to someone getting up from a seat with the dreaded wet marks around a diaper.)

I think this has been posted in the "diapers in the news" section. But is the closest thing I have seen.

I guess we are all trend setters here- on the bleeding edge of fashion.

Now. If only society would get over fashion vs function when it comes to personal care.

My question would be WHY.

[BlakeJordan]

My question would be WHY.

Why is there a need for people in a bizarre, taboo, sexual fetish to be so public? It's something that needs to be dissussed discreetly, and displayed privately- behind closed doors and in the bedroom.

That is the problem. Right there. Humans as a species are bizarre, taboo, sexually and fetish driven creatures.

If the conversations were taken out of the bedroom and onto the streets people would start to realize that all these fantasies, feelings, desires, fetishes, taboos etc. while not "normal" are by no means bizarre, and What the media, religion and society as a whole would like us to believe there is no "one box fits all". There is no normal. Unless there are as many boxes in as many sizes and shapes are there are people that have ever and will ever exist. What I normal today was not 100 years ago, what is taboo today (divorce for example). Was not in the 50s. Only when we as species step into the light, and take those conversations from the darkness with us into the light will we realize just how diverse, how beautiful, and how abnormal normal really is.

[IncontinentGM24]

Are we talking like for products? Because if so, I say go right ahead. Any backlash you get will go away after a few days. Plus, who cares anyway? You have to advertise somewhere Why not television?

It's no different from a Viagra commercial. There's nothing indecent about it.

Note. I didn't bother reading pass oh… Maybe the third post? Somewhere around there, so if someone's already said this…My apologies.

I just don't see the need for acceptancefor ageplay outside of people's private lives, I guess.

I remember when the internet was still new, (early 2000s). I came out as a teen dl to my parents. Within 3 weeks I was sitting in front of a child psychiatrist- the head of the children's psych hospital in a large city.

Subsequently- within that very first session the psychiatrist- who was supposed to be the best in the state failed to ask how long I had these desires, whether the were sexual in nature, where/when they originated from and instead tried to cure me. He also put the belief that paraphiliac infantilism could indeed be cured (which even research at the time showed to be false) into my parents minds- a MD and PT- who accepted it without question.

The quest to "cure" me continued for several years and onto several other shrinks, all at the peak of the career and the top of their fields.

This eventually led to a 3 year deep suicidal depressive state and a constant struggle with my parents for acceptance.

(For the record the infantilism desires occurred after a long period of molestation at my pre-school, age 3 and have never been sexual. I myself am asexual)

The past doctor even went as far as to suggest that I be arrested in the middle of the night, shipped off to Australia with a group of other problem teen boys and made to survive in the wilderness. (I have a history of extreme migraines at this point, seizures, and cerebral palsy since birth). Thankfully my parents kindly declined the fully paid expense vacation, and fired the doctor (head of Phoenix childrens hospital psych department)

The reason for this story is to show that those that are unwilling or unknowing- to research, to do the work to enlighten themselves can and will do harm to those who need their help.

It was not a matter of an unaware small time doctor in the 80s in a small town. But the best of the best in child psychiatry between 2000-2007. Not that long ago.

What you and I consider "common knowledge, and common tools" just aren't, there is no such thing, until a general awareness of diversity is spread to all of humanity, not just the United States (what we think of as "our problem"a our people) and other developed nations but the world as a whole. Until we start seeing each person as unique individuals, and not as a cardboard cutout that needs to for between societal norms. No one will free, we will all have some sort of stigma, some shame, and the only free speech we will ever have without persecution is not even in our bedrooms, not even in our own heads, but in the places between dreams.

oops!

I do wonder though. With how fast internet tracking and targeted ads are- if we ever got the taboos out into the open, if anything and everything could be targeted to the right market. Instead of mass broadcasts of commercials to millions. You could opt for a free netflix subscription. If you tied it in with your Facebook account. The adverts would be 30 seconds at the beginning and end of show. (Giving you your entire shoe at once). And giving targeted advertisement opportunities for companies and markets that are much more niche.

people are paranoid enough, and wrongly I'll add, about privacy issues. I don't know if that would necessarily work.

[BlakeJordan]

Already you can see "why am I seeing this ad? " on many sites. If you click on it- you will find that Facebook is tracking you not only on their site- but across the net. We all live in our own little "bubble" that the internet caters to us. Google gives you customized results, even if your not logged in, using a private session, based on your IP address and browser and OS. This filter bubble is near impossible to get out of.

Most don't realize that users of Facebook ARE the product. Nor the other way around. Every bit of info you put in gets put into an ever refined data mining system that is sold to advertising companies to target ads to you and groups of people with similar interests and habits like you. The days are long gone when 18-30 males/females were good enough to target a population. (Hence recent failures of tv shows and movies of 3-4 years- things that were supposed to be sure things and also surprises. As well as things blatantly marketed to the wrong demographics.)

Some amazing shows, and products are out there and fail because they never reach their proper market.

It's also said that if Facebook closed it's doors for business in 2013 it could sell off all the info to advertisement agencies and would be worth at least 5x as much as it was worth then.

Advertisers absolutely love targeted calculated markets that work. Facebook exists solely for that market. It's "users/product" just don't realize it.

I would hope that I would be alone in order to prevent a potentially awkward conversation with my friends!
