Edit: to clarify: the message in the ad is actually ironic/satirical, mocking the advice for cyclists to wear high-viz at night.

It uses the same logic but inverts the parts and responsabilities, by suggesting to motorists (not cyclists) to apply bright paint on their cars.

So this ad is not pro or against high-viz, it’s against victim blaming

    You’re a bit of a nutter, but that’s okay. I only say that because of the fetish analogy.

    This is an anti-car community, but when blatantly ridiculous posts (like this one) get popular you get an effect similar to the reddit /all effect. Niche communities get swamped with normies and overrun pretty easily.
