#no i don't think you specially deserve to partake in exploiting people knowingly just bc u feel bummed out ur not trendy

Ok if i can say it.... I'm kind of tired of discourse that conflates affordability with cheapness. "Everyone should be able to afford clothing" is true. It's both dangerous and frequently illegal to not have it, and people should be getting paid enough that they can buy sufficient and quality clothing. "Clothing should cheap by default" is not true. Clothing that is produced in a safe, well-paid way that values the labour and material costs required to produce it is often going to be clothing that is not "cheap." And there seems to be quite an amount of people online who are like "I deserve cheap clothing" (often using "affordable" instead of cheap to hide what they really mean) when they often mean "I deserve to have lots of cheap, new, trendy clothing more than the people making it deserve to be fairly compensated."
