“KPop Demon Hunters” became an unexpected juggernaut this summer, and is on its way to reaching the cultural resonance of Disney movies like “Encanto” and “Frozen.” But its popularity hasn’t been limited to children. Parents are eagerly watching the film, too.

Some parents are reliving a golden era of boy bands and girl groups — “but now I’m handing out juice boxes instead of dancing like a rave with a glow stick,” one said.

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap, trendy clothes.
Text says: Suicide and abuse at fashion factory supplying Under Armour and Columbia INVESTIGATION A young woman allegedly in forced labour at a clothes factory in Jordan killed herself while making products for the global fashion brands, i has discovered The sportswear giants Under Armour and Columbia have been hit by claims of forced labour in a factory making their clothes, after systemic abuse and exploitation allegedly led to a worker’s death by suicide, i can exclusively reveal. The two companies have launched urgent inquiries over the death of a young Bangladeshi woman at a major supplier’s facility in Jordan, uncovered by a months-long investigation. American Eagle, a major retailer with more than 1,000 stores in the US, admitted that it also uses the site and is taking remedial action. Tureza Akter, 21, died in her dormitory in November last year, just over a month after arriving at the Fine Apparel site in the city of Zarqa, about 10 miles north-east of the capital, Amman. It is run by Needle Craft, a major Jordan-based clothes manufacturing company. Ms Akter is said to have been fined many times for missing excessive targets. She was abused by a supervisor hours before she died, an official report states. Sources say that migrant labourers are tricked into “dehumanising” 16-hour days in the factory for less money than promised, while bosses intimidate them and withhold their passports. Sexual harassment is also said to be common. Members of the largely female workforce are apparently solicited by staff for sex and made to strip in front of managers. The factory owners have launched an independent review and say they are supporting Ms Akter’s family after her “tragic” death. i began its investigation after being alerted by Labour Behind the Label. The British campaign group, which lobbies for workers’ rights in the fashion industry, called the findings “horrifying and shameful”. Confronted with the evidence, the factory and companies it s… Photo of an American Eagle ad showing Sydney Sweeney. It says "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."
