That seems like an odd thing to throw in the article. That's called marketing.
You don't think it's noteworthy that a pedophile marketed his brand like this?
Just seeing that ad is enough to investigate the guy.

Not at all shocking.. I used to work for Abercrombie back in the day and that culture was there in the management early on...

His brand of male underwear? With all of the models in that ad looking like they are of age? No, not really. And you're also looking back through the lens present knowledge.
That's sort of how marketing works. You market what sells in a way that makes it sell. If you show me an ad of sexualizing young children, then I'm onboard for calling that weird/bad. But that's not present in the ad you posted IMO.
And just because the ad you posted wouldn't appeal to me or make me buy A&F shite doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to other people. And clearly it did, based on how successful they were/are as a brand.
I mean, these are ads for chocolate for frick's sake. Sex sells:

Honestly, I'd guess that it is prevalent throughout the fashion industry as a whole as well.

I’d been hearing about his “hot boy” flight attendants for over 10 years.
I also know an AF model/bass player/actor who likely posts here and could have some stories to tell.
Speak up hot boy!!

This is the POS that went on record as saying he did not want fat or unattractive people wearing his clothes or employed at his company.

You're an idiot if you don't see that ad as homoerotic involving very young men or teenage boys.
I'm guessing you go to foam parties with Marco Rubio and say "It's a group of guys going for a swim. Geez."

I'm not saying it's not homoerotic. I'm saying it's a a very normal kind of ad for fashion, and all of the dudes in it appear to be of age to me.

Yeah, you nailed it. If you can't discuss things with someone who disagrees with you like a fricking adult then go back to the kids' table, you dolt.

Isn't this the guy that hired Epstein as a "financial advisor" or some shite and then a year later Epstein is living on 5th avenue?
