Not sure why a market reaction to something gets labelled as a "meme stock rally" when it doesn't follow the pattern "experts" expected it to follow, but then is considered "evidence of a good product offering" when it does...

Even a "meme rally" around a stock gives an insight into where society's heads are at on certain matters.

It's probably trending on the stock trading sub-reddits (not to mention the alt-right ones).

Perhaps.... I wonder if it'll draw the same response as the GameStop rally had.

Where they froze trading because the experts said "the commoners are investing wrong, this isn't supposed to happen"


Or perhaps it's just because the people have cast their vote and decided that this:

Is preferable to this:

(in terms of defining which physical standards are worth aspiring to)

Which is a very famous meme stock from the boards and sub-reddits.

Did they halt trading of this stock?

I consider this to be a crime against humanity.

You mean the American Eagle stock, or the GameStop fiasco? For the latter, they halted it multiple times based on "brokerage house discretion"

Which set of pictures?

If you're referring to the set of pictures that suggest that people with a 30+ BMI (which we know leads to heart disease and diabetes) are "model humans" and "the epitome of what humans should aspire to", then yes that would be a crime against humanity, much like those old ads that encouraged people to smoke.

I’ve heard phrase like “white supremacist” “racist” “nazi” and “eugenics” being thrown around. All this because of a jeans ad with the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has good jeans”.

Also, singer Billie Eilish is receiving backlash for making an observation about her pale skin and blue eyes while in Ireland.

There’s something seriously wrong on the left when things like this are perceived as an attack on minorities of color.

Yeah, this totally doesn't hearken back eugenics with good jeans/genes. ^_^ That's just crazy talk!

I've seen some of that...

However, what I've seen more of is the vitriol aimed at "it's promoting an unrealistic body type as 'beauty'!"

...which, it's not.

One could've made that argument back in the 80's where they used to promote a look that was borderline anorexic, but that's not what's happening here.


This seems to be more of a "equity" based objection -- where people want the body types that require personal effort and sacrifice, and the ones that don't, to be viewed as "equally beautiful"... coming from the same mindsets that led to Rebel Wilson and Adele actually getting criticism for losing weight from the "Plus sized positivity community"


The irony was that those two were labelled as "role models" by that community when they merely existed in their plus-sized state.

However, when those two started doing things that involved personal dedication and sacrifice (dieting and hitting the gym), it made it clear that the particular community never saw them as role models, because if they did, they would've emulated those behaviors.

Role models used to be viewed as "a person who people should strive toward emulating because of an accomplishment of some sort", somewhere along the way, that concept got perverted, and "role model" simply became "famous person who embodies the thing I already am, so I don't have to do or change anything"
