jojo siwa is like. her style is not my taste at all but as soon as other people call it annoying im like actually you're wrong she's an icon and a legend
she looks like the concentrated essence of a claires store and i do not mean this negatively
it’s the “fuck you” to the current trend of encouraging teenagers to look 24 and embracing girly things that cis men hate
American Kawaii
she looks like someone turned a Skittles commercial into a person and i love it
If you don’t mind me putting my two cents:
I feel like Jojo Siwa’s style is reminiscent of the colorful teen girl fashion of the late 2000s and early 10s. Back then it was considered fashionable to use lots of colors, accessories, etc. Take a look at Jojo Siwa:
Very colorful, generous with sparkles and accessories. It’s meant to be fun!
If you were a kid in 2007-2012 you saw something similar in the clothing the teens in your sitcoms wore, although not as exaggerated. The fashion in Shake It Up(which came out in 2010) is a really good example of this:
(You may laugh, but this was the height of fashion to 13 year old me.)
The point is, Jojo’s aesthetic is similar to being a young pre teen girl walking into Limited Too for the first time.
And the reason cishet men hate it is because they don’t find it attractive. That’s why she’s often made fun of and used as a joke so much. Because that style doesn’t cater to the male gaze. It’s not for them, so it must be bad.
Cyndi Lauper, late 1980s, for your consideration.
Okay but you realize that the person who said "American Kawaii" has it exactly right, yea? That kawaii in Japan was created for girls to embrace cutesy juvenile things that refuted the beauty standards (created by men) that expected them to look mature and marriageable as soon as possible. It was over-the-top BECAUSE men hated it! Because the girls in the subculture specifically wanted to keep them away as long as they could and enjoy their childhood without being seen as Somebody's Future Wife™.
アメリカのカワイイです!

POSITIVITY FOR: girls who threaten to kill you in arguments, girls who get angry with such intensity they start crying, girls who scream in pillows, girls who randomly leave social events when agitated

Leftists, I want y’all to destroy the idea of “laziness” yesterday
Motivation, patience, and energy are limited resources, especially for people with executive dysfunction, mental disabilities, and physical disabilities.
Next time you want to assume you or someone else is being “lazy”, consider the actual reasons behind why there is not enough in them to do the thing.
Left to their own devices, free people are naturally driven to improve their lives and the lives of others,
Right wing arguments’ foundations depends on the assumption that humans are naturally selfish, evil, and “lazy”, and must be controlled by higher powers and punished when they don’t contribute enough (with the insistence that certain groups of people are more deserving of being controlled and punished than others)
Next time you notice you or someone else is struggling to accomplish something, don’t assume “laziness”, instead ask yourself: am I tired? Depleted of patience? In a bad mood? If I keep pushing myself through this, will it really be worth the distress?
Maybe what you need is rest, someone to talk to, mental health support, or to just be safe, with all your needs being met. Maybe we should eliminate “laziness” as an easy explanation and instead consider our needs first.
Psychological research is clear: when people procrastinate, there's usually a good reason
I hope you don’t mind me adding this article. I think it is relevant and it had a hand in shaping my thoughts on the matter.
The idea of “laziness” is rooted in abelism.
I have chronic fatigue, anemia, and insomnia. I don’t need people bitching at me because I’m tired all the time. I don’t need people assuming my fatigue is related my ability to do the work.
Not even to mention how many people called me lazy because I can’t get out of bed because of my migraines.
And think about how this compounds on BIPOC disabled people. Many minorities are called “lazy” as is. When you add the stigmas associated with disabilities.
Speaking of chronic fatigue. I’m too tired to do words. Here’s an article.
‘Laziness’ is nothing more than a value judgement.

Mostly silly inside jokes, but coming into FFXIV for the first time with a remake of your long-time WoW character when you don’t know anything about the world sometimes feels like this. Someone took a wrong portal heading for the Shadowlands and wound up in Shadowbingers instead.
