    Condescending marketing is such an excellent way to put it.

    I’ve always been bothered by these products that feel like only a horny teenager without a budget would ever want. Like I totally want a water bottle with borderline hentai to take with me everywhere, or some vtuber on my kool-aid powder. But like you said, it works despite feeling like it really shouldn’t.

      Pretty much all marketing is condescending these days, hell maybe always was. Most large corporations have taken on a “I’m your friendly robot helper” persona which is so blatantly disingenuous it hurts, but it seems to work. At least this one gets to the point.
