African American culture is the antithesis to your argument. Even the most wealthy individuals sporting logos of all kinds, literally as status symbols.
I agree that people have become walking billboards, but I don’t think it’s always black and white in fashion, it’s much more complex than “rich people don’t wear logos”
I much prefer this to when the pharmacists sniff at my butt at entry and then give advice on diet and nutritional supplements.
Slurs should not be excusable when directed at oneself.
For example, if you were to say “I am a retard” in front of someone with a disability, who may have been labeled as such throughout their life, how do you imagine they would feel about that?
The context does matter, but it doesn’t appear you have the right one.
This guy was a literal child when he started his videos. And did no good for the world whatsoever at that time, he was simply making videos to see what would stick. Only later once he began to acquire the appropriate amount of views and fame did he choose to make videos that try to help other people. I’m sure if those videos didn’t become as wildly popular as they did, they would’ve been forced to pivot away from philanthropy. But they worked, and so they continue to be able to afford new videos that appear to help individuals in a variety of ways.
Bad things might come of this, someone could even accidentally die from poor housing construction (maybe they chose the wrong construction company), a faulty car (maybe the Tesla he gave away was shit), or eating a chocolate bar (they happened to be allergic). But I don’t believe any of that would be intentional on his part. His company, of course, could/should be held liable.
If anything he just seems like a kid who got in too deep, became ridiculously famous, and is trying to navigate this mess with the skills he has (making popular videos). No one at his current level of popularity comes out unscathed, period.
Sure am, but we are discussing wealthy people and what they wear in this thread.
We can be nuanced about the 1% all day and start talking about a different group in that 1% but it doesn’t change the fact that they are all rich and some of them wear logos does it?
