Doorbell cameras are extremely normalized because of suburban psychosis, but I feel like actual CCTV systems generally aren't.

I mainly know about ads like the one I linked and have them in my mind as "a thing" rather than undifferentiated background noise because I saw [a different] advertisement from Brink on TV when I was young and it scared the shit out of me.

Forgive me, I rescind the pass. No one gets a pass. Beauty standards beyond personal health should be fought rather than reinforced. Some trans men will be short kings and that's okay.

When one is young one only thinks on reproduction

Depending on your definition of "young", what it actually is is that young people mainly think of fucking.

So I know that the real answers are about, like, liberalism, castle doctrine, yeomen fantasies, racist fearmongering in the news and popular culture, the extreme normalization of violence through many facets of society, etc., but you made me remember about how there's a genre of home security system ads (mostly from the same company, formerly Brinks, now Broadview) that are incredibly exploitative.

And here's an SNL parody of the same ad that I wouldn't call "good" because only one episode of SNL in the last decade has had good skits (and even that episode had more bad skits than good ones), but the video in question does at least do a good enough job of drawing the viewer's attention to how fucked up the original ad is.

Sinopsis seems like a disease that a 19th century British dude would "theorize" about that was a special kind of sepsis that turns you Chinese.

So there are a lot of issues here, but praising the Nazis while saying "ruSSian" to criticize Russia baffles me.

It sucks that it probably still sold well enough that it'll keep pulling resources away from ES6

Society has also given them what they see in their "mind's eye"

for men a hairpiece or lifts.

Wouldn't be caught dead with either. [Edit: redacted], this doesn't really help your case.
