HeGetsUs is literally funded by a conservative group that donates to anti-lgbtq organizations.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What's the general consensus of these commercials?
I know they're funded by the same people funding horrible things.
But most people are likely passively watching them and walking away with a brief "maybe I shouldn't be so shitty to other people" message.
They're bad. It's literally the flailing attempt of evangelicalism to rebrand and save their declining numbers through advertising. Just rich Christians thinking they can boost numbers by acting like they think good things instead of all the bad things that their churches actually say and do.
More like He Gets Sus indeed.
Idk but every chud including my dad seem to think it's woke propaganda lmfao. On the youtube video of it:
Lmao
Conservatives have an immeasurable amount of brainworms
It’s bad. It’s literally just marketing. Putting a superficially liberal coat on the same horrific views that most white evangelical Americans have. They want to get you in the door but I promise you on Lenin’s cat’s grave, once you are in the door you’re gonna hear the same message: turn away from your sin (including gay stuff), repent, and put your faith in Christ alone and his death on the cross for your salvation. Otherwise you will face an eternity of conscious torment in hell.
Like, people have posted chats with the hegetsus customer service or whatever it is, it’s just bog standard conservative evangelicalism.
it's classic best foot forward type propo, lead with the vague and inspecific feel-good bullshit and save the hateful cult shit for when they're already sunk in
I'd guess the horrible things they're funding make a lot more impact than a few TV spots that give warm fuzzies.
The commercials have very big "hello fellow kids" energy
