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

Good luck, look at what brand names Luxottica owns.

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

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.
