Commodification and Global Media In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, global media began spotlighting voluptuous body shapes—often portrayed as "African" or "Afrocentric"—in ways that flatten cultural nuance. The rise of social media, reality TV, and celebrity culture turned distinctive physical traits into marketable assets. An "award" like N13 risks formalizing that commodification: by singling out extreme gluteal proportions, it could amplify objectifying attention, encourage surgical or nonmedical augmentation, and promote unrealistic or unhealthy body modification practices.
