Fashion Brand? Cult? MLM?
A women’s clothing brand. Back when I was on Reddit there was a subreddit for it and all of the women would brag about their weekly hauls that they spent hundreds on, and how they would have to hide it from their husbands, or how their constant purchases were leading to fights in their household. It was insane.
I think it a new type of cake
A waste of money. If you buy things just because of a brand’s name or popularity, I’m going to assume you’re a brainless sheep that just wants to “fit in”. Lose that mentality, be your own person and fuck the naysayers.
Lululemon? I thought it was from a TV show with a chracter called “Lizz Lemon”.
Fun fact: when I was doing the Landmark Education courses, loads of people there were working for Lululemon. The company paid for it. Either they are big into mindfullness, or they hire people who need counseling.
All of the above.
Ha, I have no idea why it would blow up but the company is from my city, Vancouver. It is legitimately one of the most popular brands here in that I’d guess 3/4 women own at least one set of lululemon pants?
Yoga and athletics-wear company, though that’s broader now. They made it big on stretchy form fitting things made in sweatshops, just as the yoga industry began to boom.
Thank you
Ohh right. They are (or at least used to be) run on a multilevel marketing strategy.
You might be thinking of LuLaRoe

I’m aware of what lululemon is but not aware of what’s going on in New. What’s up?
USian garment manufacturer who has
sweat shopsmultiple employment opportunities forslave labourworkers out in Asia; therefore their products will now be tariffed upon import.Apparently the creator is also racist and purposely named it to be hard for speakers of East Asian languages to pronounce, but I believe everything I read on the internet.
Is that even really a thing? Because in Germany the stereotype is the other way around, as in asian people pronounce r as l. I’ve never heard either irl though.
My understanding is most East Asian languages don’t differentiate between L and R, or the sounds are not the same as in English. I’ve heard it before in the wild.
I used to live in south korea where they have this phoneme. The sound is midway between an r and an l. It’s similar to the way spanish pronounces v and b the same way with a sound midway between the two.
Fascinating. The trope in the English speaking world seems to be:
Yeah I’m aware that’s why I’m confused 😅 The German and English R sounds are different but L sounds virtually the same so idk if it has something to do with that.
Also fyi at least in Japan and Korea the stereotype is less about white ppls eyes and more about our long noses, pale skin and obesity. In other words they took a close look 😅
I’ve got no idea why German and English seem to have flipped the trope. I hope someone else can provide an answer here.
I knew about the whiteness, obesity (and body odour?) but the long noses is new to me. Kind of makes sense, there they are, sticking out of your face for everyone to see.
I think it’s 50-50, because the Chinese l sound is pronounced with the tongue in the position somewhere between the Latin r and l sounds. So it’s just as likely to be heard as a “wrong” L or a “wrong” R.
The fun part is that the tropes stick to our own way of pronouncing the letter (r becomes l or vice versa) instead of attempting to pronounce the Chinese sound correctly…Unfortunately, I have a very bad connotation to people calling out noses. But, I also had Jewish friends as a kid, so…
Sadly I can believe that.
Isn’t that the default in clothing production?
Probably - make cheap, sell high is good business sense, at the end of the day; if you’re only concern is pure profit.
There just seems to be a lot of posts, I guess it’s very popular but I don’t know what it is.
Posts about what?

Isn’t it a clothing store that all the yoga milfs shop at?
And the yoga Thots too.
The yoga milfs I spend my time with get their stylish and sensible yoga clothes off the discount rack at the outlet mall, thank you very much.
Possibly all three.
It’s a YouTube channel for toddlers.
That’s CocoMelon, I believe.
Maybe it’s Donald Trump then?
No, wait, that’s Cuckoo Felon.
Embrace the power of “And”.
