Users Accuse the Outlet Chain to Promote Sex Change
-It encourages people for s€x change which is unnaturaI
-Starbucks is popular among teens, so it will directly target the Gen Z
-Since Starbucks is encouraging it, people will find it posh & try to copy without telling their parents
-Will create rifts between parents & children… pic.twitter.com/19HdsbvcrG

Some Users Stood By the Ad

Lovely piece of work for Starbucks India, by the agency Edelman India. Starbucks has used the same theme earlier too, particularly in an ad for Starbucks UK, late-2019/early-2020, made by the creative agency Iris (see next tweet). 1/7 pic.twitter.com/bbfVnEUNbp

Others Called it a 'Bold Ad'
I understand the Father’s Pain and Dilemma BUT his Son just could no longer live as someone whom he never associated himself with and that is the Harsh Truth .
This is LIFE . Not always what we want it to be.
BOLD Ad by @StarbucksIndia . 👏👏
