Similar to Chesterton's fence, if you don't understand why the Goop brand has become incredibly popular for a particular demographic, maybe you aren't qualified to critique it.
In short: It is supposed to sound exactly as ridiculous as you think it sounds. The Goop line most famously includes a candle that is marketed as smelling like the creator's vagina. It is supposed to generate outrage among people of your demographic. Like the Kardashians, Gwyneth Paltrow knows exactly what she's doing, which is making money.

- throwup238 3y agoI really don't need a snake oil peddling lifestyle brand that rhymes with "poop" to wave that flag, thanks. The matrix would have been fine without that detail.
- FredPret 3y agoI agree. Goop’s making money. If it works, it isn’t stupid. Hell, we have major corporations called “Google” (baby sound) and “Apple” (I’m so used to the name that it sounds normal, also, I love them. But a fruit? Really?)
