17 pages in and she's still not appealing to watch skateboard and Dill is still exploiting her gender, race, and followers to cash out. Unless there is some huge community outreach on her part that we don't read about it seems like an obvious and scummy play on his part and he's gaslighting people into claiming she has good style or whatever.
Yo dude a lot of people like her skating. FA is a cool brand and they hook up skaters that they like.
It's fine if you're not a fan, but u jumping to major conclusions with your exploitation take.
It has slippery slope written all over it. When is endorsing someone and using their likeness to bolster a brand image and sell products not exploitation? Endorsements are the backbone of this industry. Taking $1 shitty Gildan shirts and printing a graphic on em and selling them to people for whatever they can get away with, isn't exploitation? Cause that's what every brand does.
It's perceived value, not some objective quantitative value that brands are selling.
People buy into FA because their team is eclectic and their image is subversive.
Saying it's "obvious" has got to be the most "Source: Trust me bro" thing you could say.
It's always the sanctimonious comments that misuse "gaslighting" as some last-ditch resort to prove a point.
Why are u even talking about community outreach lmao
