I’ve quite literally never seen a critique of fast fashion, particularly shein, get anywhere because it immediately gets bombarded with “not all people can afford” “don’t shame people who-” “it’s classist to say...” and it’s fucking FRUSTRATING. Anyone whose educated enough about how the fashion industry runs KNOWS that already. If they didn’t, they do - due to the fact its the only discourse that ever, EVER gets brought up when someone dares to critique a billion dollar company like shein (as if their target customer isn’t someone wealthy and not a poor person buying 1 shirt a year), they know now. Like every fast fashion critique immediately becomes a “poor western people” discussion immediately making it the dominant discourse in any fast fashion critique. 

I’m actually so sick of seeing fast fashion critique get derailed at every opportunity. Maybe some people have good intentions, but I really think half these people just want a way to deflect their guilt by masking it in moral/virtue signalling arguments. 

Like, fucking ironic you always see “but don’t forget people are poor :(” as if a critique on FF isn’t inherently about protecting the poor and exploited. NEWSFLASH! The consumer in the west is NOT the poor person in this discussion. “it’s so classist to say I shouldn’t buy from shein :(” as if it isn’t also classist to render the garment worker invisible in this discussion. Like they are literally SO invisible it doesn’t even occur to people to consider their relative wealth and privilege that they can go out and buy these items... a shein worker literally would need to work weeks to months to afford a shein item themselves. 

I’ve seen these convos happen over and over and over without making any progress and it’s honestly kind of disgusting. People really need to stop deflecting critique every time they mildly cop it and attempting to derail every conversation about how the fashion industry relies on brutal exploitation of workers. It’s like no one can take personal responsibility or even REFLECT on their choices without immediately starting to defend themselves under the guide of “”poor people””. I think is telling of how people really don’t want to admit that their actions directly impact the world and they feel too inconvenienced to reckon with that in any real way. I also find it alarming how many “feminists” refuse to engage with this even though garment worker abuse IS a feminist issue due to the vast majority of garment workers being women. 

Finally - “don’t shame people who buy from fast fashion”... but it IS shameful. it may not be your fault, you may not have another choice genuinely.. that doesn’t mean it isn’t shameful. Because really all people critiquing fast fashion are critiquing a system of exploitation and abuse, and it’s shameful it exists and that we as western consumers created it and get to benefit from it. But people refuse to take discussing this issue as anything other than personal and thats why we will never, ever get anywhere. 

So maybe next time someone says something like “hey shein is bad” you could hold your “BUT BUT BUT” comments for one moment and actually think, seriously, about engaging with the topic and listening to what people have to say. idk

in sa2 shadow learns to give humanity a second chance, that there are people on earth that don't deserve to suffer the same pain he did. In heroes he gains a posse of others like him that stand by him even if he may not even be the original of him. In shth he has allies that help him during an ALIEN INVASION and in sonic 06 he is defended by rouge after learning that even after all shadow's given and changed, humanity still wants to punish shadow for some yet unknown reason, and this angers rouge so much so that she argues against the truth even though she knows it could be true. And Omega isn't exactly happy to tell Shadow that he'd be the one imprisoning him. Shadow isn't happy seeing his offline team member surrounded by rubble and fire in a far off future where everything's gone wrong.

Shadow was created to live FOREVER. He was created to help somebody who couldn't help herself and he was loved. Shadow sacrificed himself for the fate of the future of Earth after learning that its worth protecting. He died so others could live. He then took his unexpected second chance at life to fight against the same evils as he did before, even if he can't remember them. If Shadow's writing was treated with the same care and love for the character that I know his original incarnation in Sa2 had, we'd be seeing a kid who was a very hurt and traumatized hedgehog heal and tear down the walls he's built. It doesn't mean that he becomes a completely kind and perfect person who never does anything wrong, absolutely nobody in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is like that, but he grows. We've seen evidence that he is not difficult to get along with, he is, at his core, somebody who wants to do good things for the better of others, someone who wants to protect others (even people he doesn't even know), and that he cares.

It may be very silly to be so passionate about a set of characters who's writing changes every game/comic run/show, but it is also frustrating that the arc of a character can be so badly burned and shredded up that it's treated like it never existed in the first place.

7, 11, & 24? 💕

7: what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how fanon acts about them?

so my knee-jerk reaction is tim drake. I didn't really have an opinion on him at first but hoo boy. hooooo boy. the thing that drives me nuts abt tim fans in particular is that there's the RIDICULOUSLY obnoxious ones we all know + deal with, but on the other end of the spectrum there's people who can't fucking STAND him and make it their whole personality and it's just. sigh

an honorable mention is buck (firefighter show) who is unfortunately in a similar position as tim to the fandom. he's the Fandom Sweetheart and he can Do No Wrong and if anyone in the show even BREATHES near him everyone starts wailing bloody murder. at this point he's still enough of a blorbo to me that I don't hate him yet but man. sometimes it's really fucking tempting because I loove his character in the show but oh my GOD. oh my god.

11: number of fandom-related words you've filtered

40. lmao.

24: topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

firefighter show again but. every time someone DARES say that buddie (the Token mlm Ship(TM) that isn't even canon but is nevertheless the most popular) isn't their favorite ship all hell breaks loose. and god fucking FORBID a female character get anywhere NEAR either of the characters involved because she can Get In The Way Of Buddie(tm) (except for any woman who is already in a relationship with someone else and thus Safe, and buck's sister who is hated anyway for the most fucking STUPID reasons to exist) 💀💀 the hatred for Single And Available female characters in particular is INSANE. there's "[character] bashing" tags on ao3. the fandom even sends hate + harassment to the ACTRESSES of the female characters. the misogyny in this fandom is so ridiculously insane and I hate it soooooo fucking much

hygiene is smth i rly struggle w bc of Issues (tm) so far from me the hypocrisy of judging ppl who don't wash/brush daily but. not changing your underwear? 50% of men and 30% of women???? huh???? you mean only twice max right??? beyond that you are asking for a yeast infection. do they at least pass a rag on their armpits and crotch area on the no-wash days? i mean you have to do at least SMTH daily? Right??? if it's not mental illness then what is your excuse
