    “…affected…”

    Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

    adjective

    1

    a

    **: **having or showing an attitude or mode of behavior that is not natural or genuinely felt **: **given to or marked by affectation

    b

    **: **assumed artificially or falsely **: **pretended

    Neither definition applies. The items are not being affected. Shrinkflation is an outright deceitful practice, not an affectation.
