I’m never buying Ray Bans again. I don’t want to be associated, fuck Ray Bans for taking that cash.

What I told the guy at the optician last month. "Let's skip the RayBan rack all together."

I don't want to look like a rapist. Are you telling me I have creepy rapist vibes?

The newest models aren't associated with Ray Ban anymore. They're still being made by Luxottica though. You have quite a few more brands you need to skip if you want to make a dent in them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxottica

Luxottica is a monopoly.

To be fair, Oakleys have long be associated with toxic men, so this was on brand for them.

Good luck, look at what brand names Luxottica owns.
