That last call for info was probably an AI piece. Sorry, folks.
Google image search throws up a lot of results none of which at first glance are a store. One forum looking at a set of similar images thinks that's a tell of AI iterations.

Spotted this on Tumblr. I don't believe it to be AI (though I could be wrong). Any guesses as to the couture source?

I'd argue that creators already do what the last line of this review commands. It's franchise's job to grind every edge off.

I can’t find the extended video so I wanna talk about the kid who got punched.
What he documented was his own genesis a future James O’Keefe & especially guys like Charlie Kirk or Milo.
These people preach and support violence but they operate within what I call The Civility Technicality.
