These boycott trends are really getting out of hand. 

Every morning you wake up and see some or the other thing being boycotted and people being irrationally angry. Sometimes, it's valid, but most of the time, it's mainly some folks finding any excuse to spew hate online for no reason.

The latest thing to get boycotted this year is the snack brand Bingo. 

Apparently, people are offended by an advertisement made by the chips brand that features Bollywood star, Ranveer Singh. And, why are people offended? Well, here's where things get a little complicated.

Here's the ad in question:

What's the offensive part? Couldn't find it? Here are some Twitter trolls to help you out.

See how Ranveer Singh and bingo together make fun of SSR.
Their tagline should be "Brand of India but not pride of India" #BoycottBingo#RepublicRoar4SSR pic.twitter.com/CJcSu7KeCP

Still confused? I get it, so am I.

What I'm getting from these tweets of the 'offended' people is that since Ranveer said some 'sciency things', he's trying to mock the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. 

That's it, that's the reason.

#BoycottBingo : @BingoSnacks Takedown that New Bingo Ad with Mr Cartoon - Ranvir Ching !
It Indirectly Points to Our Sushant Singh Rajput. If you'll not take it down & will not remove Mr Ranvir Cartoon Ching ,You'll have to face Further Consequences from the public by boycotting pic.twitter.com/bwR5gAmE1l

Sushant was one of the smartest, most intelligent people in the film industry but that doesn't mean that he was the only one allowed to use certain terms. 

He was a great person indeed but he didn't own the term 'photon', as some people seem to think.

And, it's not just me saying that, as a lot of his fans came out to fight the unnecessarily hateful trend because it really doesn't make any sense.

See, I am an SSR fan.
But if u think using word photon here is disrespectful for him... aren't u to immature??
And Even if u r relating them - Had it been some veteran actor.. we would have considered this as a tribute kind of thing.
So, why not for SSR??

— Saahsi Brijwasi (@SaahsiBrijwasi) November 19, 2020 Exactly!

I clearly support ssr but where they maked fun?

— GOGETA (@Iamsupergogeta) November 19, 2020 Uhh.
