Props to the author for trying to generate clicks through false controversy, but the attempt falls flat. They keep mentioning how this product is a form of toxic masculinity or part of a boys' club, even comparing it to other products clearly marketed to men. But this product is only marketed to straight-edge punk or metal people, which is not in any way exclusively male. I'm kind of embarrassed for the author, as what they're implying (only men can be straight-edge or punk) is so obviously sexist. I actually know more women than men that are into skulls and death imagery, and more women who don't drink or smoke.
- theandrewbailey 7y ago100% agreed. The author doesn't even provide direct examples of this product's ads or marketing materials.
