Genocide is so hot right now
So some airline did a fashion photo shoot for their in-flight magazine at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (Never Forget To Look Sexy At Gas Chamber After-Parties?). There are obviously a lot of things one could say about this, mostly along the lines of “This is the worst.” But can anyone say they’re genuinely surprised?
Let’s put this latest travesty by the fashion industry in perspective. Remember this?
Not even a month ago.
“What am I doing? Oh, nothing, just glamorizing a hateful practice steeped in the history of colonial dehumanization of an entire race of people. You know, hate crimefashion.”
Before that, there was the exploitation of poverty-stricken children as fetishized authenticity props, otherwise known as “the Slumdog Millionaire phenomenon.”
And not like fashion even needs all of these strikes against it to be the worst. Just look at the awful human beings it creates.
Exhibit A:
Fashion - turn to the left
Exhibit B:
"Fashion - turn to the right"
Exhibit C:
"We are the goon squad / And we're coming to town."
Case closed. Shut it down, people. Shut it all down.
