In general, I'd say that is the basic concept and purpose behind it. But... I think that hides behind a lot of complicated structures that one just needs to manage to unravel them in this century. Lots and lots of groups, pretending to act for the good of people, but in fact, what they do is brainwashing people with some really absurd stuff that is absolutely not essential for their lives, it's not even factually correct.
Ah, saying... I came across this more accidently. Something reminded me of the picture where Lady Gaga once wore an outfit on stage that really applied pyrotechnics to her tits. The image was supposed to be something like "setting her tits on fire". It got me thinking about it what would happen if a male did the same thing with a body part of him that was attributed exclusively for males? (like his dick or whatever) I got the strong impression like, if that took place, either they called him gay (because only gay people are established these days as people who are allowed to celebrate male sexuality - and which are crazy about dicks...) or they'd call him totally nuts and too much a Chauvinist. Why? 'Cause - male sexuality? Taboo. Female sexuality? Yippieyeah! The attributes have been shifted and applied like that. It's been quite a long time since you had some international artist, a male, who celebrated his own being, not being a dick-obsessed gay man (could be a different type of gay man though... just not that type.), and he openly called out to give no fuck about what media coverage and stupid stories say about him. It's really a long time ago since you had such a type of person around. And THAT, I guess, tells a lot about this business and about this "celebrate yourself"-aspect...
