Good morning @childrensplace: Respectfully calling on you to design clothes for #boys & #girls that promote excellent #values. The dangerous #dumbingdown of boys! Why promote dark characters that wield #WEAPONS? (#ElPasoshooter) Why promote laziness & unhealthy eating? 1/x
#Boys: Calling on you to stop promoting dark characters that WIELD #WEAPONS. Why promote #gangster #ninjas wearing red bandanas & mouth masks in a country w/ #gangs? What kind of a man will a boy who wears a "Bro by Day Ninja By Night" pajama set (featuring junk food) be? 2/x
#Boys: Why design/sell a "Hello Weekend" pajama set feat. a dumb emoji w/ pizza in 1 hand & video game control in the other? How you see boys? They only care about sideways hats, fast food, video games, & sports? I worry: Future complacent employees lazily waiting 4 weekend. 3/x
#Boys: "Be Weird" T-shirt? S&%$ emojis playing soccer? Calling on you to be #responsible in your messaging to young, impressionable boys, instead of following cultural trends. Better values to promote: Be Kind, Be Nice, Be Smart, Be Healthy. Let's raise boys to be great #men. 4/x
#Girls: Calling on you to change your messaging to girls too. 1. Girls should enjoy being girls. Narcissism & entitlement: Why encourage girls to identify as princesses? 2. Why train girls to value livin' for the weekend? 3. Why promote sugary donuts/candy/ice cream, & fries? 5/x
Alternative design ideas for #boys & #girls: Clever rhymes, in fun colors, to engage their minds! Fun fruit & vegetable characters to promote #healthyeating. "School!" w/ happy girls & boys. Email me: jina.n.huh@gmail.com. Let's change the culture! Thank you!
PS: #Boys: "Weekend Loading" design is disappointing too. What are you promoting? Boys should be #lazy dudes/#bros who live for the weekend? Donuts, pizza, video games, loud music & sports? Dumb hobbies. What about guiding boys to be young men of PURPOSE? Not hard. I have ideas.
