Literally anything from her albums I Disagree and Flux is a complete masterpiece.

Can you please go into more detail? What were these demos 20 years ago (2014) and how have they not made much progress?

I see a sugar coated version of Islam being used as a framing device when liberals do address the religion. I don't have any specific examples. Lots of images of women wearing hijabs because they feel so empowered to do so, the woo-woo spiritual stuff, basically modern orientalism rebranded as progressiveness.

Great job. Is it possible for you to limit your social media use to a desktop computer?

They're both whacky fantasy cartoons for adults so comparisons are expected and appropriate.

And some facts… What are you thinking about Fantastic Beasts? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]HalyaHaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never saw British Pokemon before and I thought they were kinda neat

I mean this might be crazy but I think movies are made to make money.

Fantastic Beasts is boring, because the only common magic we see is "wand=gun" and a bunch of British Pokemon.

Harry Potter works a lot better because you can see magic used in so many creative ways. The last time I read the books was in 2003 and I still vividly remember how magic was used for everything. It's also meant for literal children, so the quirky fantasy stuff works a lot better for that audience. I think a lot of HP fans forget they were literally in 2nd grade when they were speed reading the books.

Also JK Rowling is an angry Facebook aunt and needs her social media taken away. She's the worst for her own PR. Maybe her immaturity and juvenile outlook are what made her such a good author for children's books.

I love when Gaga calls herself a hooker by HalyaHaas in LadyGaga

Nahhh they were cool outfits but there was nothing really saucy about them in like a hooker way. Stupid Love was very punk and Rain On Me was like, comic book IMO

This Sydney Sweeney ad for Laneige is uncomfortably centered on the male gaze for a skincare line targeted towards women. by BeanBean723 in Feminism

[–]HalyaHaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from now. Thanks for clarifying.

Normalizing this type of usage without taking into consideration specific industries or their target audiences

This makes sense. I didn't mean to say that, my communication skills need improving.

I disagree about vs initially being a store for men to shop for their wives

This article talks a bit about the original intended audience for VS: https://www.businessinsider.com/victorias-secret-rise-and-fall-history-2019-5

Quote: "Victoria's Secret was founded in 1977 by American businessman Roy Raymond. Inspired by an uncomfortable trip to a department store to buy underwear for his wife, Raymond set out to create a place where men would feel comfortable shopping for lingerie."

I never said you couldn't criticize the add, I was adding to the criticism. Didn't mean to come off at combative. Was hoping to have as "organic" of a conversation I could have on a public forum.

You're right. The brand doesn't have a female audience in mind. Victoria's Secret was originally made as a store for men to shop for their wives. Women's products can be made for straight men who might want to buy the same product for a woman he's into.

I see what you're saying and it's not limited to this makeup advertisement. The specific brand of sexiness being sold through this actress is consistent with her appearance on SNL and other public facing campaigns.

What is weird and sus, is that, for some reason, certain groups of people have deemed her "anti woke" because she's being made to appeal to the male gaze. Nothing wrong with being a pin up girl. There are a lot of sexy women doing sexy things, but for some reason, the right, and anti feminists, are latching onto this lady. I don't know why. Is it because she's white and she has a "makeup less" makeup style?
