Let's Go Brandon Products

[powercallsirens]

Good afternoon everyone,

It is very difficult to contact somebody on eBay about these style questions so I figured I would post them on the forum.

If you browse through eBay there are hundreds of thousands of let's go Brandon products all over eBay. I have various stickers that just say let's go Brandon with the USA flag in one of them was recently removed or violent criminal hatred. There are hundreds of other people that have the same designs and I'm unsure why this violated any criminal policies. Trying to talk to eBay was useless and there were no supervisors available to help answer the questions. Does anybody who is more familiar with this than me understand why this was removed and if there is anything that can be done about it? My concern is that it's going to affect our eBay seller account at some point in trying to find out if this is starting to be not allowed on eBay is an endless phone call venture. Does anybody have any thoughts on this or understandings of these types of things.

When you try and ask eBay about it I believe they pretty much go through a script that they're supposed to versus answering the actual question. I just don't want my seller account to be affected, especially when there are hundreds of thousands of the same designs all over their platform. Just wondering if anybody has any thoughts.

Gee, I wonder what the political climate and responses would be had the former prez won, and the popular slogan meaning the same, but pronounced, 'Let's go Drumper'?

Perhaps ebay are cautious about appearing to take a political stance on a ''Current President'' - but after they are out of office they are fair game?

Hard to say as the climate always seems to lean 1 way

Should be equal bit t is not  

If as you describe would be the norm now, then why could that not be acceptable?

I have never read anywhere in the constitution where it says -"Ye shall never be offended"

well freedom of speech

Just to many take personal feelings and wish that upon the world and forget others have differing opinions 

That is what makes selling here and other places difficult at times as someone (or group) is offended  at something but they spew offending things at others and it is ok 

Polarized as a climate we live in now, we can only abide by the rules of the platform we are on and as sellers and buyers should rise above the personal attacks and "taking sides" of political issues as it does no one ang good in the long run

And yes I'm sure many disagree and will reply and that is their right to do so 😁

Psychologics at work here; the OP assumes that the Brandon stuff is what got the listing pulled, when there are other violations in his listings, (as another poster here noticed first), that have nothing to do with the context of item(s) being sold.

The OP knows his items are an irritant to at least 1/2 the population, and if the line is drawn to his immediate left, it's probably more like 90%. Along those lines and just out of curiosity, I did a number of searches that could be derogatory and hate language towards trump, and 99% of everything that came up turned out being against...Biden, and often vilifying anything that could be considered 'liberal' too! 

The uber-conservatives that push their hate for over 1/2 of America (there were more votes for Biden than Trump), are not truly Americans, but members of some 'anti-most everything that's not toxic Republican' clan. It is obvious the OP is not trying to win anyone over from the 'Brandon' side, but still gets all excited when in their world, the attack is personal; in reality it could be entirely something else wrong with their listing(s).  

Too bad stuff like this has to rear its ugly head here on eBay.

Sorry but your post sounds deliberate to offend certain people

what are your statistics you claim? 

Can we have the sources so we can check them out? 

Excluding CNN and NBC and other outspoken liberal media as to make any statistics fair 

[cutandcoloredcoins]

Yet Ebay has hundreds of ANTIFA products for sale.  Explain that one to me.

But that is what I'm stressing here

Who is right or wrong?

Personal  feelings vs independent right? 

@coastaltechsolution 

I know what 'personal feelings' are ... but I'm not sure I know what an 'independent right' is.  🤔

I had been responding to your question, " ... what makes one slogan worse than the other?"  ... and replied that it's whether or not a slogan is demonizing another 'team' (whatever that may be) that would make it 'worse than the other' ... in my opinion, of course.

"I like IKE" slogan from years past should I be offended if I did not believe that slogan? 

---

I'm not sure how many people had been offended by 'I like IKE' buttons  ... but I think that Eisenhower, Stevenson, and most of their respective supporters would have been offended by seeing 'F**k IKE!' buttons.  

Also, where a particular slogan is being worn matters.  Wearing a 'F**k IKE!'  button at a Democratic Convention wouldn't have the same effect as wearing it at a Republican Convention ... or in a church ... or an airplane ... or a voting place ... or in grade school.  [Slogans might be banned depending on the severity of the consequences of a fight breaking out at the particular location:  an airplane vs. the beach.]

Anyway, I hope you realize that I'm not disagreeing with you ... just thinking out loud.  🙂

In short, it was the media's reaction to the old, "Clean up! Aisle 3!" 😖

No,  I'm not.  I don't watch television or television news and I don't do social media. So yeah, until this thread I'd never heard the phrase.
