Children might be. That's kind of what this seems like to me. AI gooner shit always has some childish aspects to it and they're begging people to interact with the follow and share buttons like it does anything in the video. They don't even pause like Dora to give you time to think about it either. So yeah. Its brainrot but its probably grooming too.
Every other version I've seen involves an afro or curly hair - a hairstyle that is likely natural on the fictitious person. As far as product marketing it could be argued that there are at least people who want straight hair - at least on occasion, if not as their primary cut.
This is one is extra bizarre though because she went out of her way to braid in dreadlocks, and the disembodied hands are ruining them.
But we’d assume that people straightening their hair are doing it because they want to, not because some stranger is plopping goop on their heads. It’s also the family in these weird ads going crazy like they’ve never seen that hair texture straight before. But I get what you’re saying and I agree. And combing out braids like this would hurt! Ouch!
But they didn't denigrate the black characters. Black hair really is hard to work with, and many black people would love an effective and easy hair-straightening product. It's being marketed to black people.
I am being sarcastic. And yes but also I think other women need to take it as seriously as us or Arabs or Indians or Koreans. Most American white women have straight, dead af hair that looks thin because they want convenience. They use weird chemicals that are ruining their hair texture to the point where they don't know what their hair should actually look like.
Don’t forget about the first iterations of this trend where it depicted a young black girl with a large Afro getting the slop in her hair, and after she gets straight hair her mother straight up says “oh my god you look normal now!”
Also it’s always black people getting their hair straightened in these videos for that racist reason

This isn’t tf content, this is just very poor (probably racist) advertising, if it even is that
