Is it just me, or... (Vape Goddess)

[Trick]

Was just looking at the page for the Vape Goddess juices at 310 Vapers.

Maybe I'm feeling particularly feminist today, but I'm curious if anyone finds the idea that "it's about time someone started answering the demands of the ladies within the vaping community," and some of the descriptions of the juices, to be such stereotypical depictions of women it's almost -- dare I say it? -- offensive.

This is just my opinion, and I don't know a thing about the juices themselves, but the "we're being ignored" vibe coupled with the "it's as fierce as your expensive shoes" descriptions seemed to be exploitive, and playing so hard off stereotypes it was a huge turn-off for me.

Granted, I'm a guy, but seriously.

Maybe McDonald's can learn something from this.

"...Would you like to go large on your fries? How about the Big Mac bun, would you like to upgrade to our pink Big Ma'am bun for .10 cents more?"

"vape Goddess is created by women, for women"...because we've never heard of Alice in Vapeland.

The Ambrosia actually sounds pretty tasty. Raspberry Citrus Creme. I could care less if it's the vape of Goddesses. If it's good enough for a Goddess, I might like it. How come they don't make vapes specifically for gasmask wearing porcupines?

Oh wait. They do.

 

[aubergine]

Yeah. Not so much offensive as sort of idiotically adolescent. I mean, there's certainly a niche that gets excited about ordering a Slow Screw at the bar and showing everyone their bottle of Screaming Mammaries, but... eye roll.

Seems just awfully dated, too, actually.

I really miss San Francisco. Sigh.

 

[ScarletAbby]

Yup, they're trying too hard. Some names are chuckle-worth

The very same thought came to mind when I read the description/email notification. Such pathetic marketing double speak. It gives me immense douche chills just reading your quotes. Just a greedy company with a reputation for terrible e-commerce infrastructure, trying to cash in with an oversimplified and stereotypical depiction of women. Please. It's just vapeing. If they truly gave two (cents) about women and women's right's they'd do something like faceless with the vapeforacure ihybrid, or donate part of proceeds to some sort of woman's advocacy group. Poo poo on that retailer, even if it the product is made by women, which I doubt.

 

[cherrycakes]

eh, the lotus and cookie one sound ok but not buying it. >.>

 

[cherrycakes]

some of the descriptions sound like someone pretending to be a cliche drag queen.

and not in a good way

 

[bazmonkey]

I agree, it's demeaning.

And besides, what about the electronic cigarette isn't unisex?

And why is "feminizing" a product usually equivalent to making it smaller, thinner, lighter, sweeter, and colorful?

 

[DeepFriedDoitsu]

You've come a long way baby!

 

[hottierockstar]

it's like "heh heh...you vape good for one of dem *girl* folk"

i think making things specifically for a gender or group makes it seem that said gender/group needs special treatment....so you're equal but we must coddle you cuz you really aren't the same (equal)..you're different LOL

but then i have never been a "i am woman hear me roar" kind of girl...more of a "i am me..i do what i want" kind of girl

i didn't think anyone even drag queens said "fierce" anymore....

i wouldn't pay those prices

sorry if i am rambling..i must be tired. LOL

 

[glasseye]

I didn't really find it offensive, just a marketing hook. I've also been told I can be a goddess buying razor blades.
The Lotus does sound good, even if I don't do yoga.

As a person with boobs I'm amused at how pretentious that is.

My needs were always answered just fine at ECB, which has a nice selection of girly fruity and bakery stuff. If not, there's always pink spot, alice in vapeland and vaporb*tch.

And while sure it's in a glass bottle, i'm here to tell you those cost less than a dollar in bulk. And the price is like the way some hair salons want to charge me $20 instead of $10 because I have boobs, even if i'm just getting clippered with a inch guard as if I'm a dude.

 

[chellemmm]

$18 for 30 ml is insane. Glass bottle or not. They have crossed out the "original" price of $20 for 30 ml so it looks like a "deal." Ugh. Women are as varied as snowflakes. Not appealing to this woman.

Or like Ahlusion with their Pinklabel juice (10$ of the profit goes to fight breast cancer) and Mt Baker's Moo Juice (Again, some profit goes to help a cancer patient). If you wanna throw us, women, a bone you ought to do it better. Most ladies I know aren't going to toss their money just because something's "fierce". I believe on specializing your business but this is NOT the way. Shame though, some of those ingredients do sound tasty but I won't buy from a website that treats women like flirtatious, superficial schmucks.
