Priced at $250, it also seems to call attention to its own status as a luxury object.
It makes me sick to think about how much money is being wasted on her merchandise because I can think of SO many other platforms that people who become famous could promote to put money towards causes that actually need it. This is awful.
it to sell her new official licensed merchandise, produced in conjunction with the marketing and apparel company
I would be really surprised if a lot of people actually buy her merchandise, her fame is probably going to be short lived and this merchandise if it sells will be a very quick trend, in my opinion. The media made her famous, she hasn't actually done anything really "worthy" of fame. The media has put her on blast and given her so much repetition and that has what made her "famous".
There is much rapping and counting of money
I feel like this is furthering stereotypes as well and is extremely problematic in the way that Tomi Lahren created stereotypes of liberals on her show. This will resort in further stereotyping of artists in the rap industry and in some ways even cultural appropriation of real people in rap that don't rap about money and have gold teeth, etc.
I first heard about this from my really good friend and co worker one day at work. My co-worker is a very socially aware person who is engaged with politics and social justice, advocates for LGBTQ and has lived a fair amount of time (mid 30's) and he found this extremely funny when it first became popular, so based on my regards of him I found it to be harmless since someone as culturally and socially aware as him found it to be so lighthearted and humorous. Similarly to Shay, once she started to make money off of this and the way it normalized disrespect to parental units it really began to bother me and I saw the way something simple and "harmless" could turn so visceral so fast.
By lying about the neutrality and integrity of our truth-defending institutions, he consolidates his power by depriving his supporters of tools that might authorize an informed, critical assessment of his performa
"Deny til you die" kind of thing going on here as well as a huge reassurance factor happening.
The US president is attacking the very institutions that are meant to expose lies: universities, the media and the judiciary. Democracy is impossible without
I feel like this statement could be viewed as aggressive towards one side since it associates the term attacking with the president but it is a very real thing happening and can't be taken lightly...this reminds me of how we talked about Trump feeding lies to his own supporters, anyone who knows what's been going would know this to be true that there is very real issues going on with the media but people who continue to ignore the manipulation of the media going on would just look to president Trump for reassurance and believe him when he says things such as "fake news" instead thinking there is validity in this headline
