It's also important to keep in mind, I think, that some STS people have an "instinctive" ability to recognize other people's weaknesses and exploit them. There isn't a need for some overarching conspiracy or 5D outside meddling to bring this about. The combination of fashion and fashion ads (which have existed for centuries) preying on people's insecurities create an environment where natural abusers have plenty of potential victims.
No one has to tell them "manipulate people by telling them they're ugly." The clever STS people reach for such psychological powers automatically. And having enough such people in the media then creates an environment where less-clever STSes can imitate those, spreading the effect further. Why's the media doing it? Because it makes money, so the media mindlessly chases ANY pop trend they can make a buck off of with simply no regard for the larger environmental issues.
None of this has to be orchestrated. It's an emergent event, happening as a result of the original distortion and the "ripples" it causes across our society.
