This is not true of every part of islamic culture, but there’s an anti-western focus that is a part of a lot of cultural traditions. The idea for a lot is that if a Kafar (effectively, a sinner/etc) is involved, you shouldn’t be, so that rules out most top tier brands. I’m way out of date because I’m not close to that world anymore, but every once in awhile, you’d see a major player throw something out… Like adidas had a line for a minute that they tried to make a big deal, but I never saw any big brands that you’d recognize in any Islamic shops and I never knew anyone who had even heard that was happening beyond me. Most of the girls I knew stuck to Hijabs which are incredibly simple, it’s basically a four cornered sheet of cloth that you wrap around your head real fancy, so the focus was mostly on type of fabric and patterning, not a lot of room to establish higher tiers of hijabs/etc.

Branding as a whole kind of goes against the concept of the head coverings too.

It’s almost definitely cultural, but putting all the head coverings under the generic umbrella of Hijab is what I’ve seen.

JD Vance definitely plays blue, and not with one of the fun decks.

I’m still on the Sims 3 because you can get it origin free still, but I feel like the Sims treadmill is just buying mostly the same game over and over. There’s a lot of franchises like that, but I feel like it’s a lot harder for a game like the Sims with the demographics it serves to keep creating reasons to upgrade.

I would think the fact that they’re silent indicates that they don’t have a fix that they like.

If that’s the case, I’d imagine they’d keep silent until that changes or they get sued.

So, just from experience, be careful with that line of thinking. I thought the same, ive had friends who thought the same, and none of us had those relationships work out. Every relationship is unique, but sometimes instead of there not being a problem, your partner may just not tell you it’s a problem until it’s too late.

Like a lot of the problems from the past, you basically figured it out yourself or just went off to die in a corner alone and didn’t talk about it.

Blue maga seems like such a hard sell. Like, I get regular maga, Trump is an asshole, but he’s got personality, he’s entertaining, he’s got all the things you’d need to be a cult leader effectively. Whereas Biden is basically the opposite of Trump personality wise.
