so anywayz i do believe the internet, social media, pharmaceutical drugs, food delivery, news, porn, etc. are absolutely being used to isolate us from each other and control us further to maintain late capitalism and if you can deny that at this point literally just unfollow me im too radicalized for you ✌️✌️

[grldick]

i like literally never shut up abt this offline

like, libraries getting defunded & replaced by bookstores, sidewalks & walkways in cities just not being upkept, public parks being devalued, the ever-increasing backlash against loitering, entire cities u used 2 b able to walk across you just can't now, u either need a car or the subway. how much of our lives are dedicated to work, & how much of that work is isolatory?

increasingly it's not only that digitization & automation are encouraging ppl to stay inside (though they 100% are, literally everything u said is true) but also that community spaces where in the past peers would naturally gather & form connections are at the same time very intentionally being removed, commercialized, made inaccessible by hostile design, or just straight up criminalized, its all connected & I think more ppl should be talking about it

teens today watch tiktoks of someone wearing a $7 shein dress and then go buy cheap Aliexpress clothing that’ll last them a month. what happened to recreating pretentious movie characters through fashion

[seravph]

ppl seem to be misunderstanding this post so lemme say some things

1) there are similarities between mimicking influencers and mimicking characters in movies, but honestly the similarities do not run deep. costumes symbolize character traits that are used as a vehicle for storytelling. i.e the point of costumes isn’t necessarily to flatter the actor, but to carry out a narrative purpose. this is possible because these characters aren’t real. influencers, on the other hand are real, and even worse, their projected image is entirely procured. an influencers job is to sell their brand, which is achievable via wearing flattering clothing and staying on trend. even modern day influencer ‘trendsetters’ arent particularly groundbreaking. so when a young person attempts to build their personality off of an influencer or an influencer-lead ‘aesthetic,’ it’s entirely because they want to make themselves attractive and stay on trend. the symbolism is removed from the fashion. the individuality is lost.

2) yes costumes have gone downhill in the last 10 years. the reason why costumes have gone downhill is because of influencer culture. costumes have lost their purpose of being a narrative vehicle and are more often just utilized to make the character look attractive rather than conveying any substantial character traits. media feeds into influencer culture influencer feeds into media etc etc never ending cycle pain malice wrath etc

in conclusion. the cowardice of directors + influencer culture + fast fashion = individuality lost through overconsumption in an attempt to fulfill meaningless trends

^just off the top of my head.... what happened to narrative driven fashion. what happened to seeing a cool girl on TV and wanting to be her so bad that you dyed your hair and wore heavy black eyeliner and big worn out mens jackets not because it looked good but because it was weird and off putting and you felt like a cool movie character. my mom bought keds in the 80s because of Dirty Dancing. I started wearing sunglasses 24/7 because of Hyde in that 70s show. How many people bought a pair of saddle shoes because of twin peaks. now everybody wants to adhere to some bullshit ‘aesthetic’ because if you’re anything other than perfectly flattering and trendy then you might as well be dead I guess

people have brought up the point that fast fashion still existed decades ago when we were kids, and I’m also not saying this to dunk on kids today. it’s just so sad. fast fashion did exist decades ago, but the way people think about fashion is different now. it seems to be so impersonal; instead of buying pieces that people really like, people seem to buy things to adhere to a trend that has a life of a few weeks at most. being ‘trendy’ has always been a thing, but now trends last weeks instead of months or years. and things like shein and aliexpress didn’t exist when we were kids. now people hop on a trend, get bored after 2 weeks, and hop onto the next trend, and in doing so spend cash on a bunch of cheap fast fashion on shein. and social media has just made kids try to imitate influencers on a whole new level; sure, everyone wanted to be Paris Hilton in 2005. but now there’s a bunch of different ‘aesthetics’ people try to fulfill that are constantly changing. do people even like what they wear anymore? do they have any opinions on fashion? or do they just feel a need to purchase items they dont even care about because they saw it on tiktok?

why is the 'fainting in the shower' part of the ed cycle so much more fulfilling than the 'eating the contents of the fridge' part

do you ever feel like you really suck at having an eating disorder like you see yourself eat normally for a couple days and you’re like “wow i really gotta do better with my ed” as if it’s a hobby you gotta put more effort into. then feel like you don’t actually have an ed because you let yourself eat normally.

what the f. this is why i am fat. i can’t do anything right. cant even starve myself correctly.
