Hey could you explain why placing promat in a men’s restroom is a bad look? Genuine question…

Nathan AR @PF-706042

No problem buddy. You just gotta think about it in terms of why we want our promat out there and who we want to see it. We put our promat in the public space as a means to spread our message and battle over the minds of the masses in said public spaces. But public restrooms are not the kind of place we want our materials to be associated with. It's not "classy" enough for people to respect. I know that the dire situation our people face may make you want to say "screw being classy, I just wanna wake people up." But at the same time, you don't want someone to see our stickers out in the streets and think "eh those guys put those things on shithouse walls like a bunch of shameless schizos." We gotta handle ourselves in a way that the people who were trying to awaken will listen to out of respect, and not because we force then to look at our website name while they're taking a piss.

I get that to an extent, and appreciate the response. I won’t place any more in restrooms… but putting stickers on lamp posts and street signs where no one but us will see them seems a little silly to me. I can’t tell you a time I’ve ever looked at street lamps or street signs for stickers or advertisement but I have seen plenty of promat in restrooms. They even do bulletin boards in them where local businesses advertise. That was my reasoning behind it. I didn’t place them in “bad” areas.. like Lowe’s or Home Depot or local restaurants were my targets. Do you guys have any suggested spots where people will actually see them? I’d like to put them somewhere where it feels more useful than just to post on the activism page for members to see lol

Pit them on street signs and lamp posts in outdoor market places where cars aren't allowed and people have to look at them. Farmers markets, mall areas, concert venues and parking lots make great places for promat. And it helps more if you place the promat at a certain height to where people HAVE to see it. Like something I do a lot is when I sticker up a parking lot, I'll place the stickers on a light pole that directly in front of a parked car so that whenever someone pulls into that spot they're forced to look at the only sticker on the post in front of them. Other perfect spots include walking trails and at museum placards. But even without going to such great extents, people see our stuff all the time. Even if you don't notice them, others do.
