Hooters is a pretty weird compromise between Moralism and Libertarianism - on one hand the whole point of it is "fat titties" and going there is an almost open admission of wanting to go see fat titties but on the socially acceptable side whilst just going to a strip joint fall on the not socially acceptable side.
In other words, Hooters is kinda like the "no man's land" between the one side and the other in the weird war between Moralism and Libertarianism in America.
it's so weird, too, because Hooters was originally founded to make use of a closed down strip club, and they just leaned on that as a gimmick. they hired all the sex workers who had worked at that strip club. but they did all as a joke.
like there's a universe where hooters was founded by a locally owned employee driven co-op to keep the people who depended on that strip club solvent, and did their whole "it's a family joint" as a schtick to maintain their employees' dignities. instead we got buffalo wild wings that degrades their employees' dignities even further than buffalo wild wings by objectifying them entirely and fetishizing the product they sell.
