Because if your butt is wrong, no man will ever want you. You’ll remain childless and single all your life. You’ll have to become a lesbian because men don’t care about anything but the size and shape of your butt. Personality? Bah! Confidence? Brains? Personality? Nobody cares. It’s all in the butt.
Profit is the their only motive. They don’t need another one. The rest are side effects they don’t care about as long as they are still making money.
“It’s believed our magazine is contributing significantly to a growth in teen suicides and anorexia. Blaming us as the SOLE cause of the problems is absurd, but we’re probably not helping any.”
“What was our profit margin last year?”
“34%”
“Sounds like enough teen girls are surviving to continue purchasing our magazines. Carry on. “
It’s usually just laziness on the part of the writers. Ever have a writing assignment in school where the teacher instructs you to rewrite something “in your own words”? Just rewrite a brochure sent out by a makeup manufacturer, or a survey, or a better author’s article.
Pickle may truly not get it, as she gets to choose the form she takes. She is doing very well at holding human shape, but it is practice for the sake of fitting in when she goes to the non-para world. You may recall when Nadette and Berdine chose appearances that looked like triplets with Atsali, before toning down to the human forms they usually assumed.
I kinda wondered about that; Paul, was your first draft of this page a picture of Castella facing the other way, looking over her shoulder at her own butt curiously?

Oops. “Confidence, brains, accomplisments?”
Oops again? “accomplishments”
Oh, a perfectionist, huh? How many edits should I line up on the missage board?
Heh…
In the butt.
And here all along I thought it was all about the bass. No treble.
Because they are trying to trick you into buying the magazine and/or some other product.
Well, yeah. But is there a different reason to that? My money is on ‘self depreciation is the “in” thing in marketing, so we can’t deviate from that’.
Marketing is why negging works more often than it should. It’s tapping in to a conditioned response.
Google “Hanlon’s Razor”.

More they are trying to convince you that you need to buy what their advertisers are selling. That is where the money really is found.
Castella is sharp for her age.
Yup, was about to say that she saw through their little plan
