It isn’t just sensationalism, but the fact that these girls ARE popular and are making a lot of money. People with their beliefs are not only out there, but are out there is great numbers, and that is something we should be aware of. ---

Meant to post that I’ve never heard of 'em as well, and not going to search for 'em either or buy their shiite. ---

But I can still come up with other justifications. “It exists” could justify coverage of anything. Things that exist can still be covered in a way that is intended to shock rather than inform, that’s the point. > [@](#): > > They are popular (in their own world).

Ultimately, if you just stick Prussian Blue and their mom on the screen, I think you’re doing more for them than for your viewers. Most people are already aware of, and repulsed by, white supremacists. Prussian Blue, on the other hand, now enjoy a higher profile and may get more white supremacist fans. ---
