  • If you still consume any media, purchase merchandise, or god forbid go to the themed areas of Universal Studios parks… you are fulling this bigotry. She is profiting from your consumption of a franchise and using that fame to attack women.

    I am heartbroken by what they have become. My childhood (and many other people’s) had that franchise throughout a big part of it. It has become shameful to say I was ever a fan. Nothing will redeem them. Nothing will make it okay to consume anything related to this franchise.

    If you openly wear/carry/own merchandise of any kind today, you are literally sporting symbols of hatred. Please stop doing that.

    No it isn’t but I still refuse to choose on purpose to listen to that song. I don’t even know the name.

    EDIT: Just to be clear, I can’t stop from hearing the song out in the wild. However I will not seek it out. I just do not want to hear a song purposefully made with AI in such a manner. I’m still bitter that LOVE won a Grammy over the soundtrack to Across the Universe. They only gave the award to LOVE because George Martin was involved in it.





  • This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.
