A lot of it isn't really informative, it's a bit of brand-building, a bit of advertainment. The 'hot women' thing looks totally unconvincing to an outsider, but perhaps it's mostly designed for in-group consumption (despite some claims). I understand your view tho. The stuff I've seen seems very forced and fake, the desire to have this sort of representation you're talking about is written too clearly all over it. I've yet to see it done well, but I'm sure it's possible.
