if there were more kpop stans in the social sciences this kind of discourse wouldn’t happen. he is being micro aggressive in this video even if he means well. AND a large part of “sassy” male mannerisms are an imitation of black women.
i hate when y’all say this as if men of color don’t also get away with this type of shit. maybe not with the same slap on the wrist like white men, but let’s not act like this is a white thing when it’s actually just a men thing in general
@koralinadean@dancingofpens old 80s cartoon unrelated to either lol. my mom made me watch this when she was telling me how much better cartoons were when she was a kid
you’re wearing shein with ysl, chanel, and louboutins. you can afford to buy from brands that don’t exploit children and profit off of slave labor. so yeah you’re cringe and lame and gross
@Sumtingneu i think it’s disingenuous to frame it as solely a classism issue when it’s much deeper than that. and you are right that there are many other brands and corporations that contribute to environmental decline, but i genuinely think many people are more aware of shein because of **
@Sumtingneu ++ spent that money on better quality and more sustainable clothing, but people feel entitled to new wardrobes to keep up with micro trends and social media. that IS cringe. that IS a problem that should be called out since shein is currently the final boss of fast fashion
@Sumtingneu you’re right, there are people who can only afford shein and i feel for them because that’s one of their only options, but the fact of the matter is that an overwhelming amount of shein shoppers are not those people. there are people doing $500 shein hauls that could have ++
@Sumtingneu well the conversation was about shein and you were the one trying to frame shein outrage as classism and not because of environmental destruction and slave labor. every fast fashion brand is terrible, all big retailers are exploitative. all of these things can be true at once.
@Sumtingneu mind you, you’re the one who denies the fact that shein is terrible for the environment just to feel justified in buying it. you have limited knowledge and apparently empathy for the slave laborers who make your cheap shit
