Hot take: advertising doesnt have that much impact on womens views of their own attractiveness or society’s beauty standards, unless those women are completely disconnected from the outside world. If it did, women’s beauty standards would be completely homogenenized. Instead, we see significantly different standards for what women strive for between cultures and social strata.
Instead, women are picking up cues from their social circles and the broader cultures they participate in.
Okay, then you can see that in many ways advertising creates and reinforces the looks of these subcultures in the first place.
We are not taking strict commercial advertising here, we are talking a coordinated effort across all cultural platforms to ingrain their brands.
Magazines, movies, music, tv, games, the military, higher education, bars, and even books etc; can and do have corporate sponsorships. They are all selling an image inside of each of these subcultures.
With the rise of globalism this has been spread throughout the world.
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.
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?

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
