    Probably few of us ever watched this but here they come again. The left is intent on everything being their way or the highway. Leftist groups organized and trying to force VS to include mentally ill dudes in women's lingerie in the show. Then after the attacks the ratings cratered. It is beyond sad that everything is under attack from the left and it is no longer just Christian and other religious groups. It is NFL, VS, and even our schools are under tremendous pressure to yeild to the far left.

    Sales have been going down for years, pre sjw issues.
    Part of it has to to do with aging customer base. The customer of the 80s/90s is now 30 years old and the new generation is worthless and doesn't hold the same values as VS.

    VS failed to change with the times and it's now paying the price for it.

    As a business out to make profit, I agree, but in reality it is society that has failed, by not maintaining a standard or moral decency, or even basic thread of common sense...

    I saw a panel discussion on Fox News. They seemed to feel that America turned against the show because they weren't allowing trannies and fat chicks in the show. It just didn't reflect our values they said... umkay.... I guess I am really old as I never thought to myself, wow, some dude would look good in that...

    The women in their 20s/30s in 1980s/1990s are now in their 50s/60s which is when VS was at its height. Sexy undergarments are not what the majority are looking for at this time in their life.

    And apparently the women in their 20s/30s are not looking for it either. There does not seem to be a single factor causing their downfall.

    Activists pushing agendas are hurting them.

    Styles have changed, VC, not so much.

    Women have changed, the average female body is different today.

    They reached a pinnacle of success in that market and are due to be pulled back to the pack.

    There does to me... The activists you mentioned pushing their agendas on people.

    They are what is changing styles too...They are the ones getting fat, and demanding to be called pretty. (thus changing the body type)

    A normal person (me) can admit when they have let themselves go, and gained weight. Yes, I'm still a nice guy. Yes I'm still a lot of good things, but handsome, and good looking are no longer one of those things... Get over it. Some goes for my wife. She has doubled her weight since we got married 24 years ago.
    Is she good looking now, like she was back then? Nope.
    Does she still wear VS? Nope.
    Do I still love her the same. Nope, I love her more.
    Activists don't understand years of hard work, dedication, love, and devotion... They only understand instant gratification. Like the song says... "I want it all, and I want it now" Activists demanding their little changes... that's what is doing it. For a lot of things in the world today.

    ONE cause.

    And how well has that gone for biz who bow down to activities. Look at the go woke, go broke mess in the movie industry. Movie after movie of a flop that the studios are now beginning to notice its hurting them.
    Or look at gillet ?? Sp?? The razor company that took a huge financial hit and even now most men won't touch them.

    Meh.

    How many people complaining actually watched it? And if you really want to see that, there's plenty of websites catering to that.



    Maybe I'll just have my own little lingerie show with my wife.

















    What should I model?

    They took a financial hit because men (and women) aren't shaving as much.


    The bearded bros. complaining did buy razors anyway.




    As to VS, the really pivoted from classy lingerie to trashy lounge wear for teens and women that can't be bothered to wear nice clothes.


    EDIT, as not to thread whore:

    Well, that's the conservative outrage version.

    The business version is that their money maker is all the Pink crap (which isn't pink, ironically), and these "fashion shows" are now considered more harmful than good in terms of society. They're were a few people crying for more trannies, and probably a decent number decrying the skinny chicks only (Torrid fashion show anyone?)... I'm not sure how many... we love boycotts, but only if it's for our reasons...


    We all pine for the "good old days", well the days before the 1980's didn't have half naked women strutting on a runway, so... welcome to the good old days.

    Before the age of the internet.
    This was the way to see/trade "porn" as a little boy. :)

    I only recently found what that Pink stuff was... I thought all these chicks wearing the sweatpants and sweatshirts were just fans of "Pink" - the singer. I remember thinking, "Wow, I know she's fairly successful, but had no idea she had so many fans!" :):

    Could be anywhere
    Maybe they are just going down hill because their products are not really that good?

    Some hot models can make anything look great (to guys) but a quality product is what keeps people (chicks) coming back.
