The Petawawa KIA Fight Video became viral on social media in 2021.
The video was sent to CityNews and has ignited a conversation about toxic masculinity in the automotive industry.
The car salesman uses offensive and inappropriate language and identifies himself to be Brian from Paulette Auto Sales. He also expounds on his morning meal and suggests the implications of s*x acts along with vehicles.
This display of vulgarity was not only unsettling for Kingston residents, but it also highlighted a bigger issue in society and auto sales.
Brian Doyle’s actions caused a lot of controversy in Kingston, where his video is viewed as inappropriate despite the fact that he claimed it was intended to be funny.
The Kingston Viewer made sure to mention how the video could be especially damaging for women with mental health issues. Many other community members supported that sentiment.
Although Doyle originally posted the video to his social media, but it was taken down by negative comments. It is still a testimony to his disregard for others.
All parties were deeply concerned by the recent social media post of an employee from the dealership.
It is unacceptable that the poster uses offensive language to describe outdated ideas of manliness and associates with car ownership and displays s*xually prey behaviour. This must be dealt with immediately.
