/fa/ - Fashion

What's fa's obsession with reddit?

who cares about reddit

they want quick (which is unfortunately also shallow) advice

>>7922063
because they need someone else to tell them how to dress because they are a bunch of fuccbois (kind of like /fa/)

>>7922063
whats fays obsession with dressing like shit and imagining superiority

>>7922063
idk

>i know you wish you had copped these 45% off

A lot of that infographic is shit, but the basic stuff like solid shirts (Uniqlo) and maybe the sweatpants is alright.

Apply all of this and un-dadcore it so it's all monochrome and it could be alright advice.
Infographics piss me off though because people tend to use it as a shopping list and just eat it all up, then they complain in WAYWT's when they all look the same.

>>7922080
no i dont wish that at all

>>7922063
i like infographs. there a good way to get info across. they shouldn't be your primary way of learning about anything. ive seen plenty of infographs floating around /fa/ aswell.

>>7922063
>short sleeve shirts
lol

THESE ARE THE ITEMS YOU MUST WEAR
THESE ARE THE BRANDS YOU MUST BUY
dont forget to post ur oc in the the waywt! <3

to be fair, they appropriated infographics from us.
but we've evolved passed it

>>7922063
i like how /fa/ rags on reddit for having a few infopgraphs when /fa/ only talks about a dozen brands and idolizes people who wear generic goof ninja fits.

>>7922070
We need our hourly mfa thread, thanks OP!

>>7922073

redditers want the internet hivemind to think for them

>>7922092
They look cool. Specially button downs.

>>7922196
you're not kayne west

>>7922196

they look cool if ur black
wanted to cop one after the otis vid dropped, but they made me look like a japanese office worker

>>7922063
because they are the opposite of 4chan. they want to make sure every user is having as easy a time as possible assimilating and participating in the site. its the internet for the loser kids who cant figure things out themselves. instead of lurk moar its here you go. i hate them so god damn much.

Fuck reddit

jesus christ someone somewhere is actually endorsing herschel? what in the name of fuck, backpack game weak

>>7922204
Literally anyone could pull this fit. Short sleeved button downs are cool looking.

>>7922222

nice quints man

>>7922226
do these girls really exist? like are there actually non pleb women on earth somewhere? how do i find them?

>>7922249

they mainly exist on tumblr but yeah

>>7922255
ugh its too much work to sort through the piles of shit to find them gems on there

>>7922264

tbh most of the beautiful women you see on tumblr are probably not worth your time. there's definitely top-tier gals out there though

>>7922275

shame that city unis and colleges never partied like uni towns

>>7922302
the stereotypical feminists are a cancer thats unavoidable anywhere there are young people now i guess

>>7922216
roll the sleeves up some, gives it more edge so you dont look like a babby

I'm guessing most of you didn't post on /fa/ when the standard answer to any question was "search /rs/ for the .rar"? At least back then it felt like more people were creating content and engaging in discussion instead of mindlessly posting the same stock photos of the same items over and over again (inb4 "but all dem infopictures is stock images lawl" - that's sort of missing the point). It felt like people were at least trying to dress themselves more authentically than it does now. There's probably a healthy dose of rose tinted glasses in how I remember it, but I really don't remember everything being so uniform.

Anyway, infographics. They're quick visual references that are proven to be an effective way of rapidly digesting information. Why wouldn't you use them?

There's nothing wrong with using them as a point of reference but they shouldn't govern your fashion choices

this is discussed in every fucking thread involving reddit

copypasta from some anon off another reddit discussion thread who I think described it quite well:

the problem with reddit, and to an extent /fa/ as well, is that it attracts plebs who want the internet to tell them how to dress

they realize that they dress like shit atm, but have no idea where to start fashion-wise. these kinds of people want easy solutions to their problems, so they crave infographics like these that tell them how to dress. these people are incapable of thinking on their own. they want some1 else to make all the decisions. it's really sad and pitiful.

some people on /fa/ (like trunks, for example) actually want to experiment and try new things, they want to think for themselves and practice developing a style all their own. this is very commendable in a way that infograph culture is just sad and reflecting of a culture in decline. the people who MAKE infographics are even worse than the ppl who follow them

infographics used to be really popular on /fa/ a few yrs back when the /fa/ uniform consisted of an ocbd, chinos, and cdb's. but we've improved and come along way from that. we deserve to pat ourselves on the back

to be fair thats a solid infographic, but it's nothing you couldnt find out from lurking /fa/ for a few hours. it's also silly to subscribe to brands.

>>7923038
I seriously like how we started bashing CDBs once mfa subscribed to them
Our tastes were pretty parallel, but now fa wants to be niche and contrarian.
No, fa you are the plebs

what is the deal with them, they give some solid advice.
only because it's from reddit, 4chan goes in their anti-reddit circlejerk

>>7923038
trunks definitely does not think for himself

>>7923038

I don't think infographs are inherently bad though, nor is following one as a foundation. I also think it's pretty hyperbolic to say this reflects a culture in decline.

How else do you become proficient in something other than by copying or following some formal method? When you learn to play guitar you'll spend your formative years just reproducing basic exercises and covering simple songs you like. Almost no one starts off creating original work.

Yes, it's bad if you continue to follow rigid and predetermined methods/guides once you've learned the basics, just as it's bad to follow infographsfor your entire style. Infographs should just provide a basic groundwork to teach someone the essentials.

There's also a practicality to them as well. Most people don't have unlimited funds to experiment. I only started to after following infographs for a year. I built a basic wardrobe and gradually added more interesting pieces to it later.

I do agree that it is indicative of a culture in decline, but it only makes up a small portion of it. It's comparable to internet culture as a whole. The internet has bred a huge influx of pseudo intellectuals who browse Wikipedia articles and condensed posts and who take infographs/statistical breakdowns as fact.

These are the same people who will read a Wiki page but never follow the citations and read the actual sources, which are usually more complex texts or academix articles.

go back to philosophy class, dave

>>7923038
Hi trunks

>>7923205

What about this seems overtly philosophical? A lot of it is pretty general, common sense stuff or at least apparent if you think about it for a moment.

>tfw philosophy minor tho

Dammit...

>>7923226
what's your major?

>>7922063
Seriously. Nothing wrong with infographics per se, but jesus this has gotten way out of hand. There's like 5 infographics posted in a span of 24 hours and all of them are essentially the same thing.

>>7923238

English (lol). I'd worry if I wasn't getting really good grades + scholarships. I might flip and major in Philo and minor in English tho, and then either become a professor or go to law school.

back when /fa/ wasn't a festering shit hole we used to have a bunch of info graphics

I made about 12 (small fraction) we even had them for determining counterfit goods, and which watch mopvements were decent

>>7923260

>english major
>doesn't realize english is a high-tier major

ur dum and gonna fail out after fist year u fuccboi
fuck i fuckin hate froshies

>>7923263
also they take 25 seconds for me to make (I seriously timed myself one time, hence the typos)

I made a infographic at the start of a commercial (I think it was for peanuts or something) and finished before it was over

>>7923270

I'm not a freshman tho. How is it a first-tier major? Enlighten me, as I've just been dicking around and learning whatever I want cuz of sweet sweet scholarship monies.

>>7923284

This is actually a really nice quote and sums up that rambling mess I posted. Thanks.

>>7923281
dump them then ya dingus

the only people hiring college grads right now is mcdonalds, but they would take anyone with returant experience over a college grad

it is currently a stigma to be a college graduate

>>7923302

Ah. Well, I don't want to work for a company. Honestly, I really want to teach. Law is a second option since I figure it's more financially secure and because it'll allow me to pursue philosophy more.

>>7923309

>it is currently a stigma to be an older college graduate who hasn't had any practical work experience during or since college.

I can't tell you how many entry level office jobs require some sort of degree, and they certainly pay better than MacDohs.

From what I can gather from my professors, a lot of college grads rely solely on their degrees for jobs, when all it does for employers is show them that you have something close to an expertise in something. They also want to see work experience and you need to be able to argue your case for them (i.e. "this is why you should hire me.")

Not saying the market isn't awful and oversaturated with grads.

Oh shit, I had no idea. Was this just for /fa/?

>>7923470
I'm pretty sure the real seig stopped using this board years ago before that shit happened.

lol

someone actually drew on there dick to get a public/community trip to leave

>>7922063
Probably because its not an image board, its a poorly designed text board
