    coordinated effort

    This is our point of disagreement. The effort isn’t coordinated. In fact, it is competitive. If you believe there is some high council of global beauty standards, disseminating their message to every bar and tv show and school in the world, you are a conspiracy nut.

    Instead, these entities look at the subcultures they sell to, observe what people consider beautiful in them, and then sell that image.

      If you don’t think there is a coordinated effort to market products globally in the year 2026, you’re just not thinking thoroughly.

      If they makes me a nut than okay I guess

      Edit: accidentally said 2016, damn I’m getting old

        Do you believe there is some high council of global beauty standards, disseminating their message to every bar and tv show and school in the world? That this message is given, unambiguously, from the global beauty standard high council as marching orders, and then that all these institutions follow suit obediently while also remaining quiet about the fact that they were given these instructions?
