James Charles, Tati Westbrook and the Chaos of Cancel

2 Mar

It began with a video — or was it an Instagram Story promoting vitamins? James Charles and Tati Westbrook — and Jeffree Star, who inserted himself into the fray somewhere along the way in which — have publicly put an end to the virtual maelstrom that moved thousands and thousands.

From guides to histories, that is where we make clear past subcultural movements and educate our readers on current trends and various goings-on. We’ve come a great distance since those sexist toothpaste ads from the 1950s. Or have we? While the blatant sexism may need gone, you’ll still see ads with impossibly unattainable beauty standards.
