Women’s lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret is reportedly pulling back from its recent woke ad campaigns featuring obese models, transgenders, and anti-American gay soccer star Megan Rapinoe after sales plummeted.
In 2021, the sexy underwear company moved away from what it called a “hyper-sexualized” image and dove face-first into a woke remake of its brand. But apparently, the results of this rebranding was a steep loss of revenue, Fox News reported.
The rebranding kicked off in July of 2021 when the company named Rapinoe and transgender model Valentina Sampaio its brand ambassadors.
At the time, hard-core, left-wing activist Rapinoe had blasted Victoria’s Secret as pushing a message that was “really harmful” and one that was “patriarchal, sexist, viewing not just what it meant to be sexy but what the clothes were trying to accomplish through a male lens and through what men desired.”
The campaign also included overweight models and plus-sized mannequins, upon which the clothing was displayed in ads and stores.
Along with the public face rebranding, the company also moved to fill most of its board positions with female applicants.
This rebranding campaign came two years after the company’s famed annual fashion show was done away with. The last such show occurred in 2018.
But despite all those moves to woke the company and please left-wing critics, Business of Fashion reporter Cathaleen Chen was shocked to report this week that all the “favorable reviews from online critics never translated into sales.”

Even though she's guilty, she's not guilty.
rotflol......they never knew this?....shows how out of touch w/ their customer base these wokers are.
Bingo! We have a Bingo!
Is that critter on the left wearing “depends”, or doing a bad job of concealing Mr. Johnson?
Megan looks about as sexy as a dung beetle on a cow turd.
LOL. If you remember all the owners of Subway franchises demanded the company remove her from all commercials about 3 years ago
I hearing thunder. Lots of thunder!
Wasn’t in the forecast.

Watching a lot of advertising has made me wonder if a lot of ad people are on drugs or have mental issues.

Do you know if she is sowing cucumber seeds?

Gross obese hairy armpits! Yuck!
.....Watching a lot of advertising has made me wonder if a lot of ad people are on drugs or have mental issues....
I agree. It seems like every other commercial I watch I turn to the wife and say, “what is that supposed to mean”? Its like the mentally challenged get to write the advert these days.
they have an agenda, that often has very little to do with the products, services etc, that they’re creating ads for.
Maybe the on line critics are the same brand of paid lying shills that we get on the so-called news channels as well.
Who was the idiot who thought that people wanted lingerie modeled by fat women, ugly lesbians, and men pretending to be women?
Was anyone from Victoria’s Secret fired?
Obvious implants. Dunno how that reflects cost of implanting chest bags.
