Today’s case in point is the bizarre incident involving a self-proclaimed “future college student,” this person’s Twitter account consisting of two followers when the complaint was tweeted (it’s up to 11 followers as of this writing), a 2019 segment from a Candace Owens show on which Michael Knowles appeared, and Harry’s Razors.
The future college student apparently took some time to find a video clip it deemed offensive, then looked for the companies that only later advertised on one of the participants’ shows, and then tweeted to Harry’s Razors about the 2019 video’s supposed offense.
Avi Das notified Harry's Razors:
"Candace Owens says using preferred gender pronouns means "I am now required to have a mental disorder because you have one" Guest Michael Knowles equates being trans to having schizophrenia."
Harry's Razor's reply:
"Thanks for bringing this up. We condemn the views in this video, which are inexcusable & at odds with our longtime support of the LGBTQ+ community. We've ended our relationship with this show & are looking into our sponsorships to prevent any values misalignment going forward."
So not only has this brand new Twitter user caused Harry’s to stop advertising on Knowles’ show, but the company, presumably run by grown-ups, also pledged to review all shows on which it advertises to ensure no “values misalignment” offends this nobody “future college student” on Twitter . . . that it doesn’t sic its two whole followers—its parents?—on them. It’s quite surreal.

I ditched Gillette for Harry’s back when Gillette made a woke ass of itself.
I’ll give Harry’s a small amount of time to find intellect and morals. But if they go the woke route, they’re outta here.
One of the many reasons that capitalism is superior to the leftist jokes is that there is always a competitor in a capitalist society.
Aren’t razors basically a commodity? Silly mentally-ill types.
Just one more company to add to my personal boycott list. Gillette has been on it for a couple years already and now Harry’s.
Give South Korean made Dorco razors a try.
Let’s be honest, with the Sovietization of Big Govt/Big Tech/Big Business/Big Media, the only way to avoid in life is becoming Amish...
Damn!
I was a Gillette user until Gillette made it clear that they hate me because I am a man. So I switched to Harry’s. Now, I’ll have to find another brand.
I don’t know. I wrote a letter to the CEO of Gillette, and won’t buy their products again, but...damn. Now Harry’s? Maybe I will have to check out the Korean razors.
Well Shick is out because they were trying to purchase Harrys until the fed gov shot it down....
I just went to their Contact website and warned them about going Woke........That's all we can do. Too bad because they are the best razors on the market at the lowest price.....
Electric razors kick the crap out of regular razors there’s so much easier
Or else, join the Rastafurryones.
I canceled my subscription and called them to tell them why. If a lot of people do that it could help.
Harry’s Razors did I see them for sale at Walmart ?
Ditto!
Even though they are best shaving device I ever used in my 87 years, if they comfort, support, or kowtow to the ruling communist class I'll drop them in a heartbeat...
Going to the contact website too. Fair to give them a chance before quitting.
Now? Forget it!
Harry’s was outed as pro-homo here back when Gillette got stupid. Some people here either didn’t care or didn’t get the memo.
One option is Japanese Feather safety razor and blades.
Thanks, I may try those.
