NC for this.

I've seen this on H&M's campaign very recently and would like to understand.

Can anybody explain what's behind this rethoric?

I wouldn't want to go into the gender aspect as it's been done to death on MN.

But what's with the 'living organisms' bit? Are we now supposed to be no longer human or do they want to erase the 'uniqueness' of being human? And we would be no different from an insect for instance

Also, why are they focusing on the family and why do all these families have more than two members but no children, parents, older people, etc?

FWIW, I'm fed up of companies preaching and adopting agendas. H&M should stick to selling clothes and ditch all the nonsense

This seems to me to be a queer theory version of the articles that came out around the time of Friends. Can friends living together replace the nuclear family etc. At that time no-one put flat share relationships under the Pride umbrella and I guess now they do because marketing execs thinks it looks more trendy and aspirational to do so. Some critics might say this is part of a wider agenda to break down the family unit as part of a mission to queer society or it could be a way just for the fashion industry to flog more cheap stuff and distract from questionnable businesa practices.
