Do shirts like this still exist anymore outside of fast fashion

This is for coquette/dollette alt fashion. I noticed that fast fashion companies are mimicking the 2 piece milkmaid top trend from the 2000s by making these false milkmaid panel one-piece tops. If I wanted to make my own top with 2 separate items (to avoid fast fashion), I can't find undershirts like this that are both shirred and have that specific ribbon lacing detail. I can't find tops with a neckline low enough to show off the design of the undershirt either. I've tried thrifting very old tops to get the look and no luck.

Fertility ritual figurine build

Blah blah blah gameoverse blah blah gacha games

Rant about the body type aside, the fact that I have seen this exact shitpost twice, both made around the same time, is incredible and there needs to be more fertility ritual figurine chans made

i hate companies spamming bullshit dogwhistles for no reason (outrage marketing)

We all see it. 2 lightling bolts next to 2 white hearts makes no sense in this context. There is literally no casual way to use the lightning bolt emoji in normal texts if its not about weather. Bolt+Bolt+white HH spells out exactly what you think and everyone who pointed it out is not insane for it. I know people will talk about the technicalities of the lightning bolt emoji but that's not the point of the post, it would be missing the forest for the trees.

And the worst part is, if the dogwhistle is on purpose, and it certainly is because there's a billion dollar professional marketing team behind this, I know kleenex made it just innocuous enough for plausible deniability like they always do so you get thousands of people calling you crazy. They were doing this as some sort of stunt to ragebait well intentioned people and have the discourse be unavoidable for the next month, but it didn't work.

I really think that after the AE jeans commercial, Elf's Matt Rife commercial right after (that backfired fucking immediately lmao), and the lightning bolt Taylor Swift necklaces, companies figured they can spark an identity politics war online very month because fucking with people's emotions builds controversy, and eventually money. That way, those who defend the company the most will attatch their identities/ideologies to them and end up becoming fiercely loyal to the brand. Like with what happened with American Eagle, who alienated their black and progressive leaning consumer base in order to get a massive loyal cult of dogwhistle apologists.

I'm not even pressed about this stunt in particular, what annoys me is how companies insist on manufacturing moral disgust every fucking week and shoving it down your throat. You can't go a day online, or if you touch grass, buy tissues irl, without being exposed to intentionally manufactured culture wars by major companies. The only way to win is to desensitize yourself to this behavior.

Whether you give a fuck, or see this as a nothing burger, it is being discussed online and making its way to major news channels as intended. You will hear about this and form an opinion of if and how this matters according to your morals. This discourse is designed by companies to either desensitize us, demoralize us, or distract us from something worse, but the distraction is such an elephant in the room that you can't in good faith not address it.

And this time it's not even a trendy product like the rest which makes more sense for a ragebait spectacle, it's a fucking tissue box. Why can't companies just sell their products normally like they used to instead of preying on well intentioned people's emotions like vultures and ghouls?

I hate the random incel raid this sub is getting

why isn't the mod doing anything about the 16 year olds spamming foid or r*tard everywhere and making shitty /pol/ talking points. Oh my god it's so exhausting and embarrassing for the sub and honestly for them too. Every post is a negative karma tank designed to ragebait well intentioned people. I know rule 9 is a thing but someone has to say it, and this post is not about a specific poster here its about a noticeable trend. Nobody over the age of 18 will want to post here anymore istg

when has this ever happened

Why are people like this so threatened by women that they started this myth in 2005 of their macho black coffee being femininized and gay. Nobody is doing that. Baristas love simple orders actually, and at best they'll ask for what brew/roast you'd want since it does affect the taste. A barista i know had some middle aged guy ask for black coffee exactly and follow it up with "bet you never get that order huh" like he's such a special snowflake for having no tastebuds. No offense if you like black coffee, it tastes good with the right roast.

What's so bad about pretty drinks anyway? It's not even inherently girly, and its very harmless. Men like this are disgusted at what the women in their lives enjoy because feminine things are frivolous and icky. But women exist who do the same shit and they're pick mes who hate their daughters, I wont elaborate.

I bet these guys would be terrified of getting a matching drink with their wife that isn't hard liquor because it's the same bullshit in bars too, but they're not mocking the appearance of the lady behind the counter there at least.

i fucking hate this show's fans and the show hasn't even come out

It's not about the show itself or the creator, in fact I'm very happy that the creator got an adaptation this well animated. I appreciate the work that goes into drawing manga and I'm not a hater in that regard. It's just that every dude i've seen that's a fan of this is insufferable. Of course the horny catgirl show with stoner/smoker jokes is popular, and of course it's for grown men that still think boobs and weed are funny.

I'm all for inappropriate immature humor, like with PAWSG it has a time and place, but for that show the fanbase is suprisingly not as filled with gooners/goonettes. PAWSG has a completely different audience than the 4chan gooner chuds that are gonna flock to the chainsmoker cat. They're gonna call themselves degenerates ironically to mask the fact that they're 28 and watching shit like this, and for the next year and a half everything I see with this stupid cat is gonna be attatched to either "edgy" humor for just softcore smut jokes.

Even gooner gacha fans are 10x more sufferable because they actually care about the aspects of their games besides the fanservice, and unironically are interested in the girls in nonsexual ways. But this isn't one of those fanservicey gal games, this is a seasonal ecchi. I partly wish this show was just straight up hentai so they'll keep it in their small bubble.

when professionals are tired of people's bullshit

Idk what to call this. Academic spite? This tends to happen with edit wars on some fan wikis.

You can't find authentic world history lessons on YouTube that isn't AI slop anymore

The search has been completely dominated by AI slop content. The bots they use for scripting doesn't even tell you history, more like an overview that overly romanticizes or glazes the subject matter like it's a fantasy worldbuilding intro. It's become just like this for every group of people whose history isn't very well known by the general public (ex: not Rome and China), but I've started seeing this format for Roman history as well.

Sub Saharan African history in particular has been so utterly destroyed and unpreserved from colonization that there's not much general information for these videos to go off of without cracking open an obscure academic research paper, so every video just copies the same watered down script from another AI slop video with slightly different, equally nauseating AI graphics. It's a content ouroborus.

As a side note, YouTube content nowadays is 90% ai slop videos with hundreds of bots that steal, copy, and paste the exact same video over and over. It's ruined the entire edutainment side of the website, the one I watched the most as a kid. Look up "the rarest human" or "do wild animals know if humans are trying to help them" and you'll see what i mean.

How connected is idol culture and maid cafe culture?

I'm under the impression that they tend to feed off each other. I don't know if individual maids have big reputations like underground idols do, but I heard there are maid rankings (for nightlife hosts/hostesses too), online Twitter fanbases, and wotakus attatched to their favorite maid.

Chinese fans really mailed cow shit to the game studio and reported them to the Chinese government because they thought he looked gay

Also they said his skintone was too dark. First of all I hate the LADS otome fandom, mostly both the western and Chinese side, but I hate everything I've learned about the racism/homophobia in the Chinese otome scene. The girlies in China remind me that western incel gamers will never amount to shit when it comes to the goonette bigot olympics. (For context, in China, the conventional idea of a gay man is one that is hypermasculine like this guy.)

Tldr, there's this sci fi otome called LADS that introduced a 6th ML, and the entire fandom was so fed up with how he looks that they bullied the studio into scrapping him and all future live interests. They even told the govt that he promotes domestic violence and reported a reference to unit 731 that ended up being purely coincidental.

On one hand they were using him as a scapegoat for their frustrations of the game, but imo I dont get the hate for him specifically. I thought he was cute, his design is so pretty it's uncanny, which is partly why I hate how the CN fans insulted western women's tastes and said we fetishize gay bears. So catty for no reason.

But then it was revealed he was gonna be a CEO type and now I no longer care for him. Into the cow shit bucket 🙏 /s
