The familiar faces that represent the campaign include ones like Hercules, Aladdin, Prince Eric and John Smith from Pocahontas. Previously, Saint Hoax released a series called 'Happy Never After,' which focused on [abuse awareness for women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aid-to-cart) and the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) princesses, and now this series features the other side of the coin with 'Prince Charmless.' The bruised and bloodied guys are paired with a tagline that reads "When did she stop treating you like a hero?" and urges men to seek out help, since this is something that men or women should not be ashamed or scared of doing in cases of abuse. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Male Abuse Awareness Campaigns:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop targeted abuse awareness campaigns that focus on the safety and wellbeing of men. - **Gender-specific Abuse Awareness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create abuse awareness campaigns that address gender-specific issues and encourage both men and women to seek help. - **Using Pop Culture Icons for Awareness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize popular fictional characters to raise awareness about abuse and create a conversation surrounding the issue. ### Where This Applies - **Social Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop specialized support services and resources for male abuse victims. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create impactful campaigns that challenge traditional notions of abuse and promote inclusivity. - **Entertainment and Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Produce content that uses pop culture icons to raise awareness about important social issues, fostering a deeper engagement with audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Perpetrator-Targeted Domestic Abuse Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domestic-abuse-prevention-ad.md) - [Anti-Domestic-Violence Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighbours-friends-and-family.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Gender-Based Violence Awareness Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-friend-max-hate.md) - [Female Empowerment Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enough.md) - [Educational Valentine's Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/language-of-love.md) - [Soccer Match Women's Aid Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-aid-campaign.md) - [Public Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-the-issue.md) - [Bread Bag Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tellthewholestory-campaign.md)
