Gillette’s recent commercial against “toxic masculinity” has become the 28th most disliked YouTube video of all time, or the 12th most disliked video if you exclude music videos.
By Monday, the commercial, which has over one million dislikes , not only broke into the top 50 most disliked YouTube videos list, but also rose to the 28th position.
The video has now surpassed the trailer for the 2016 all-women Ghostbusters remake, Crazy Frog’s Axel F, and several Justin Bieber music videos in unpopularity.

You know it's bad when you surpass Ghostbusters for most disliked video.
Also, I just checked and Gillette appears to have deleted the video, as it's no longer on the Most Hated list on YouTube.

The video that's in the OP? Link still works for me.

I just went back and rechecked. The YouTube list I checked hasn't been updated since December 13th, which is a full month before the Gillette ad was even posted. Coincidentally, though, the 28th spot on the old list has been deleted with a blank placemarker. This made me think it was the Gillette video.

Hey Rusbro, excellent post, more please.
And somewhat more on topic, Gillette YT vids about 'man sculpting' are getting mocked.

I readily confess that I am a registered old fart. Having said that, I am not sure what toxic masculinity really means.
If it means men that watch attractive young women dressed like those 2 wearing those blue Gillette full body leotards, then I have to ask the question.
If women don't want to be "ogled" why do they dress like that?"
Is toxic masculinity when men actually look at women dressed like that?
If so, I guess I will have to stop going to the gym, because it is overloaded with females dressed like that. Unfortunately, a goodly number of them obviously never looked in the mirror.

Toxic masculinity is a term leftists created to try and make men act more homosexual, effimate, and more like the ideal leftist man...which is basically a woman with a penis.
