It'd be nice if we could discuss some of the philosophical and cultural aspects to this stuff without it devolving into a debate over the definition of "techwear."

Some links:

why this is /fa/

tech wear is my favorite fashion

>>9026554

>>9026276
the e-flux article basically doesnt say anything. pretentious hot air, what a waste.

>>9026717
seriously. those links were both dense and abysmal.

hope outlier have some dope ebola proof fabrics in their next drop

Any white techwear inspo?

>>9027876
if you like white shoes

>>9027895
These are marvelous.

>>9027906
going to a puma store today. hopefully they have some there. I want to see how the dial works before I cop.

>>9027876
techwear is for asians so the answer is 'no' really

>>9026080
People need to understand that monochrome =/= teechwear

>>9027911
Aight, have a good one. Do they fit TTS btw? Been putting off copping a pair discs for way too long now. Corks, Chang, Chalayans, Kiths man. They were all juicy as fuck.

>>9027922
we are utilitarians and minimalists
we are naturally attracted to the most functional colours

>>9027895
Ah I meant white people pulling off techwear. Not white garments. Thanks though.

anybody talked yet about the norse projects rokkvi 2.0? looks sick

>>9027938
howaito piggu not suitaburu for techuwear desu ne

>>9027930
no idea but from what I've heard puma shoes run narrow as fuck so you might have to size up a half or so. if they have a pair there I'll find out. they dont look bad without the dial either

>>9027944
>£600
>no anti-ebola™ materials
i think ill pass

>>9027933
I understand how monochrome is functional. OP's picture is not at all tech.

>>9027960
you're right it's not specifically without further information about the pieces

>>9027966
i don't think leather-looking high fashion sandals could ever be called techwear no matter how much brand information you have

>>9027947
Yea I'm a US9 in Nike's but a 10 in Puma's for almost the same fit.

I posted a Lululemon blazer in the last thread. Here's a fit pic for anyone interested.

>>9028147
Which model do you have?

I am looking for new beater x runners and have been eyeing the Trinomic Discs and Blazes for a while.

How comfy and durable are they?

>>9028203
Chalayan discs
Size up or make sure they have a good return policy if you order online.

>>9026080
w2c those sandals bruh

>>9027947
Ah that's fucked. Shoes in a US 13 are hard to find.

>>9028256
Me thinks Marni.

hope they fit well

Life is cruel

Do the Outlier Merino shirts keep you cool? I cycle to work often and need something to keep cool as it's hot as balls where I live.

>>9026276
he's been wearing those glasses since forever

>>9027895
What discs are these? I'm diggin em

>>9028519

ive got the Merino sweat pants and that shirt.

I literally use that fit just for cycling

they GOAT even if expensive

>>9028203

W2c shoes in pic?

>>9027930
>>9027906
>>9027895
what do the disks do??

>>9027911
>>9027906

>>9028593
Do they shrink a lot in the wash? Thinking of copping 1 along with the new OG's for work.

>>9026741
>dense

Well yeah, but how were they abysmal?

>>9028174
Damn, nice.

>>9028477
Check used places. Rakuten, eBay, Grailed, Supermarket, etc.

>>9028519
By themselves, not really, no. They're slightly heavy for dress shirts (200gsm) and part wool, but they're still just shirts.

>>9026080
what sweater is that, or where can i find a similar styled sweater?

can someone post some inspo of dress shirts + tech-y shoes like swift techs, furies, roshes, tubular, whatever the fuck else comes to mind

i'm thinking of copping some tech-y shoes but think they will look kind of dumb towards summer with collared shirts, which i tend to wear more when ti gets warmer

>>9026276
yo this shit is some drivel
the tumblr link has some nice sketches of ideas but how the fuck does it carry over to techwear?
the second link is utter garbage.

>>9029095

>>9029076
are you going to get his ooo book? might get the library to order it fuck am i paying

can someone kindly suggest a handful of techwear pants to cop for a starting point. I work at a performance clothing store, get all the jackets and what not cheap, but we don't carry any slimmer, functional pants. tl;dr pants pls

>>9028174

What are the shoes?

what jacket is this? google image search doesnt help

>>9029104
Probably eventually, but TBH I've been reading elsewhere for a while and need to catch up on OOO first.

15 GBP/$25 isn't bad at all for an academic book. I've paid more for fiction.

>>9029145
Well, what are you looking for in the pants, functionally and stylistically, and what's your budget?

>>9028728
Fuuka "streetwear inspo" or something like that - the joke line is that "streetwear is just dadcore with sneakers," which is all kinds of wrong but sometimes has a point.

>>/fa/thread/S8563601

This recent-ish thread seems like it might be especially useful to you.

>>9029301
yeah well im saving up for an acronym jacket so relying on pdfs and the library for now

>>9029211
Acronym x Hyperstealth x DSM Diagon Alley F/W 2019 I[nvisibility]C[cloak]-CP2.

Looking for a liner to add some extra warmth to a flight jacket to take it from warm in -10 to warm in -20, any suggestions? Thanks homies.

>>9029316
Arcteryx?

>>9029309
Ah, so am I, but I'm so used to making notes in the margins that when I get a PDF I want to dig into I go through the hassle and cost of printing it out.

I love it but so much money over time, you're right. I'm shit at saving.

>>9029211
Acronym x Hyperstealth x DSM Diagon Alley F/W 2019 I[nvisibility]C[cloak]-CP2.

>>9029316
Not a bad call. Pretty much any insulator that fits under it you could use.

I don't know how warm flight jackets are, or how much space winds up under them on the body, but some current things I think would make good liners:

http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-down-shirt?p=84745-0
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/product/men-ultra-light-down-compact-v-neck-cardigan-131561.html#09|/men/outerwear/ultra-light-down/compact/|
http://shop.havenshop.ca/collections/jackets/products/six-month-cardigan-nylon-black
http://marmot.com/products/details/alpha-pro-jacket

The Marmot is a bit of an outlier, but the combination of relative thinness, Polartec Alpha (more durable than most synthetic insulations, specifically designed to deal with varying activity levels without removing), and the hybrid construction that makes it almost like a second baselayer plus a vest seem potentially good for a liner.

You might also want to look at milsurp liners, even if there isn't one specifically for your jacket. (If there is, that's probably the best idea, just so it actually attaches.)

Not sure if techwear exactly, but does anyone know w2c some effay baselayer stuff?

>>9029392
i just have seperate paper to make notes with page references
i find it's a lot easier to review reading that way anyway, rather than having it all scattered and crammed in the margins

>>9029090

pls respond

May I kindly remind you the fact that almost every single item made by ACRNM is sold out since forever?

>>9029511
that's like saying ivy league prep is 'just' boat shoes and striped ties

we wear clothes never in a mode of 'just' wearing clothes but as a manner of speaking in relation to life/society/culture

it is not really surprising that william gibson is such a big fan of acronym >>9026276 @greatdismal

>>9029656
Gibson and Errolson Hugh have a lot to do with each other, but neither of them have much to do with the contents of those linked pages. Certainly, neither of them are dystopians or transhumanists (as the word is now associated) or indeed particularly anti-capitalist.

>>9029090
what the fuck else are you wearing?
black is usually a better choice. my problem with less high end white materials is that they look cheaper and plastic-y sometimes, and that wil definitely pop out on the swift techs

>>9029781
also ultimately we are dealing with clothing on this board, which is in almost all regards and arch capitalist field. some exceptions but lmao
>>9029086
that just looks grumpy
>>9029145
yo more general thoughts on those comfy "utility" slacks in the sense that they are allegedly flexible and durable enoguh to jump run and climb in
http://ministryofsupply.com/products/aviator
soudns pretty gimmicky but if that's actually the case im into it. i hate that slacks are suck shitty pieces of clothing for doing anything other than walking and sitting

>>9029301
Im looking for slim fitting pants. pockets are nice. Black is nice. Functional materials- no cotton, less polyester. I just bought Icebreaker Field Pants- they're very ideal functionally, but don't come in black or have much fashion value. The best i've found were Outlier Climbers.
Budget- the cheaper the better but I'd be willing to pay 200+ for the right fit

>>9030003

Polyamide Fabrics mimic wools natural function- in those terms it's less gimmick and actually pretty decent- that said, smaller companies struggle with the breathability technology often. That said, I like where the linked ones are going, and the specs are right.

>>9028280
>shoes in US 13 are hard to find
No one makes them it breaks my heart

is there a way to mix classic menswear with techwear?

>>9030277
You mean besides Outlier?

Here's some inspo. This is a knife from TAD gear circa 2006

is there anyway to make me look like a deus ex human revolution character without having to buy thousand dollar arcteryx pieces

>>9029983


thanks man

decided to go with black, they look more tech to me and I've already experiment with white shoes and liked them less than my black ones.

excited!

you're cool dude I hope you succeed in all your endeavors, live it large and good

>>9028174
Link for that blazer? Couldnt find it on their website

>>9030298
if that shit was transparent it would be some post-internet garbage
also knives are not effay

>>9030323
damn homie. thanks for being positive.
i'm thinking of copping some too but am not sure if i should cough up the ~$140 for swift tech discs.
I also kind of want reebok fury pumps.
cant decide which one i like better and how black to go with them, or if price point matters to me enough to choose one over the other.
unless if you know some brilliant way to cop for less.

>>9030493

no problem man

to be honest not really feeling the pumps, I like the disks better on the swift techs and the pumps have a bit too much branding

can't really help you with finding either for cheaper though, aside from religiously checking resale sites

>>9030510
that's a good point, the branding is a little too prominent with the pumps. i trawl ebay too much for cool sneakers. i gave up on the rafdidas hunt when i realized my other hobby would put too much of a hole in my bank account. i'm just a dingus.

anyway, how do the disks generally size, should i be wary of ordering my usual US size?

>>9030493
holy shit why do i actually like these shoes? whenever i see them in the huge variety of colors, i just think to myself
"this is evangelion the shoe what the fuck"

>>9030542

I hear they size a little smaller/narrower so I'm doing half a size up from mine

>>9030401
It was at a discounter. It must be old stock, I don't see it on their site either. It's called the "2 in 1 Commuter Blazer".

>>9026554
kershaw skyline, hell of knife to try and look edgy with.

>>9028203
i cant wait for tubulars to blow qasas the fuck out

>>9030721
true, i'd much rather be trying to look deep and edgy with an emerson knife.

>>9030769
why not a COLD STEEL BATTLE READY KATANA

>>9026554
you look silly lets put that knife down so you dont hurt yourself

>>9030769
holy shit that knife cut right into that banana. really what I look for in a knife

>tfw copped some maharishi shit a while back
>tfw not feeling it

>>9030298
>>9030769
>>9030775

>>9026080
How is this techwear at all? That just looks like a full on fit made out of sweatpants materials

>>9030855
is it ~le edgy to make death threats while trying to clear and FTF from your wasr-10 because too poor for a real gun like a MR556?

>>9030817

wear some techwear shit like y3 or something

>>9031366
it sounds like almost every other dribble variety of post-marx leftism if I'm reading it correctly...which I'm likely not. care to tl;dr the concept for me?

>>9031416
just as there was an uneasy transition period between feudalism and capitalism, capitalism is itself an uneasy transition period to... something else?
and they want that transition to finish sooner rather than later.

>>9030239

>>9030239

>>9031631
I own these maharashis and in my opinion they are a very bad fit
would not recommend copping but I may have just been unlucky

What are Jubilee's sunglasses?

What is the style called, if at all?

Pic related.

Is there a techninja inspo album anywhere?

>>9032438
just get kenzo ss15

Can someone post a tech ninja informational or basics image?

>>9028174

Not too much into black anymore but I dig the use of Foamposites. Been saying that they've been underused in this context for a while. Good fit!

>>9032496

*Flightposites

>>9031454
>>9031416
not quite. i think the real focus, especially in those articles, no matter ho wishy washy, is that of the self-consciousness of capitalism's demise. the knowledge that accelerationism it happening, in the sense that people come to understand Marx's dialectic shifts and know that the ultimate collapse of capitalism is inevitable, that self-awareness has a particular set of problems. it can lead to the state or capitalists behaving differently, and in this case, it leads to a very different set of aesthetics based on this convoluted period of post-industrial, post-internet angst.
i add post internet because most marxism honestly loses touch when it increases in tech level, so much marxist thought needs to be rebooted for this era, and a lot of accelerationists actually suck at this.

>>9031773

>>9032538
No, I meant my question about Jubilee's sunglasses wasn't worth a thread.

I could've been a little clearer.

>>9032592
oh my bad homie.
got it.

>>9032416
yo all of this shit if next level terrible.

>>9026276
I've always seen techwear as a reaction to the natural environment

Like when it's raining...you wear a rain jacket
When it's windy...you wear a windbreaker

just getting into techwear, is this considered a hardshell or a softshell?

>>9032538

It's just a jacket, not a shell at all. It doesn't claim to be waterproof or water resistant in any way.

>>9033668
totally unnecessary touch. buttons plus zippers are dubm and clunky in terms of look

>>9035525
Zipper closes the jacket, buttons keep the storm flap closed. It's a pretty standard arrangement.

>>9035561
his point is that it's not very -aesthetic- which considering the style of concern here is a true statement

>>9031631

Which pants are these?

I'm going on a backpacking trip through southeast asia. What are some good techwear base layers to consider? I'm trying to decide between merrino and synthetics like uniqlo's airism. Airism tees seem better suited to the climate but looks terrible if worn on its own though.

>>9036995
you're going backpacking. how good your fit looks should be the lowest priority.
what the fuck

>>9034431

Thanks for the info, I'm always looking for some good products out there regardless of the marketing. And alternatives to Outlier are always nice.

Add Makers + Riders to that list as well (pic unrelated)

>>9036995
>southeast asia
well that's not exactly east asia, i don't see how techwear is suitable tbh

>>9036995

As long as the fabric is thin, breathable, and dries quick. Doesn't really matter. It will be dank, humid, polluted, and it will probably rain a lot. Personally I would just bring or buy on-site, more than a few cheap shirts and switch between them

Oh and wear unbranded and unassuming shit cause you'll be an easy target for pickpockets and the like if you stand out they recognize the logo

>>9038738
zipped pockets and forward positioned fanny packs are good for reducing risk of pick pocket

>>9038738

>>9031454
You should probably read more, the transition was a lot more complex than that.

Personally I think that capitalism by definition wont collapse for a long time and is still a pretty solid system. I do however expect a pretty abrupt and revolutionary series of changes away from monetary capitalism to a system based on human capital over the next 100 years or so. At that point I feel like transhumanist technology will make our understanding of human interaction so obsolete that the way in which we organize ourselves wont particularly matter.

What're some good fabrics I could use as the outer layer of making a jacket? I've been reverse engineering some acrynym stuff based on what I've seen on the internet (the TRUEST kind of hacker) and I think I've got the jacket sling figured out. I'm just not sure how they do the backpack under the pit zip and coming through the chest zip, and how they do the gravity pocket. Any acronym owners who could give me reference pics, or explain? I'm thinking of three potential jacket designs. one is a knee-length coat to be worn on its own, one is a normal jacket to be worn on its own in hotter months with the vents exposed OR worn under my thermoball in the winter, OR one that's the first jacket but it zips up to waist length somehow. I'm making my own because I'm too poor and I need a jacket that can specifically hold my surface pro on my person, no jacket thus far has had the pocket space AND breathability I require. Fabric reccommendations for lining and main fabric? For the surface pro pocket, should it be stealthy and interior, or should it be one of the chest flak pockets?

>>9044209

New/fa/g here, what exactly is techwear? Not to start a huge debate or anything

>>9040925
What shoes are those?

>>9044243
"Technical clothing is any garment that, through advanced fabric, treatment, cut, or construction, provides a function beyond hiding nudity. Some older examples of technical clothing that you may recognize are, traditional or heritage garments like rubber boots and waxed jackets, and armed forces uniforms. Some newer examples are hiking gear and sports/athletic clothes. Techwear or Urban Techwear, is a subset of technical clothing with an aesthetic that is contemporary or futuristic, fashionable/stylish, and is designed specifically for your common city-dweller's day-to-day situations. "

From http://dressed-down.com/, which is a good overview as long as you don't take it all as some definitive taxonomy.

>>9044209

Unfortunately, I don't know much about the production side, so I can't really help you there.

IMHO though, I think the tablet pocket should be an interior one. Just because I would want it to be as far from potential rain as possible.

>>9044209
Repost this next techwear general. I can do some fabric schooling but this thread will probably be dead before I can.

>>9045194
It doesn't matter how far it is from rain as long as it's properly sealed, although an interior pocket is still an ace idea, simply because you're not going to be removing it outdoors (so, who cares if you have to open the jacket) most of the time and it gives you more design flexibility.

I wish Arc'teryx still had supplies on their Veillance F/W 13" mionn composite jacket...

Litteraly one of the best top tier stuff they've done so far.

IMO one of the best techwear jacket.

ok guys, finally getting some downtime
does anyone remember where i left off?

>>9046954

3/4 tech pants options?

could pic related work into a techwear fit?

>>9047000
yes

>>9047019
i would unbrand it, first, though...

>>9047021
i'd argue its small enough not to really be a big deal, but i think it could make for a nice layering piece

>>9047028
eh, i'd still do it. but, of course, that's just me

>>9047032

>>9047032
what's the name of the mag you're scanning from?

>>9047000
ye man vests are underappreciated, could be really good if your into layering

>>9047000
>sold out
dang

vest version (could accent with black or gray sleeves and / or trousers)

>>9034612
Nah, you gotta have some hair for insulation. Short but functional.

my gyakusou jacket arrived today, i'm really stoked to run in it later. it fits perfect, i usually wear M but bought a XL one. it's from the F/W 2012 collection

Are the soles made for rain/snow at all? If my feet are gonna sweat id rather not slip

>>9036995
If you're going backpacking look at actually /out/ brands. you can gearfag it up if you want. check out Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Black Diamond, Norrona. Uniqlo is the last place you want to go.

>>9050341
vest is not cool

>>9040585

>Yeah, I'm a fan of Makers+Riders too, but I didn't know if that would fall under the "performance menswear" theme.

Well it fits with the urban techwear theme. Can't get any more urban than pants aimed at deskjob biker and courier crowd.

Curious about Outerboro, their pics look great and I'm looking at the Aegis cause I have a big phone to lug around. Can anybody comment on the quality, or how their pants compare with Outlier?

What do you all think of this fit?

>>9051468
that hair looks really stupid

>>9051468

Might just be the color in the photo, but that jacket looks pretty thrift-tier. Pull pants further down b4 taking the pic to avoid knee boobs. Not digging the hair either, but whatever works for ya.

its like a time machine went back to hypebeast circa 2009 before tyler wore preme

>>9051468
Why is the side part on the middle of your head?

Pretty sure that's this TAD jacket in the gray color

>>9052750

I'm just telling it like I see it, fam.

>>9051468
I actually really dig this, but cover the morale patch with something discreet, even just a solid matching thing.

Also, thrift-tier isn't a bad thing unless you're trying to project wealth and a certain sort of class, but I don't think it looks thrift tier.

>>9051468
Short and fat

good input

Who's the demographic of Arc'terryx, acronym and other "high" techwear brands? The general aesthetic looks so sick but who buys all the techy gear rather than more mainstream tech/fashion gear..

>>9053535

Similar to goth ninja garms when it was blowing up at SZ: trust fund kiddies and the artsy fartsy crowd with big credit limits. Cept for this niche it's the milspec otaku and industrial design crowd instead of the artsy fartsy. They love buying this shit.

IRL stores who stock "techwear" are usually positioned where the "too hip for the hip crowd" crowd hang out in urban areas anyway, so they'll buy them, and their friends will ask what they're wearing.

Veilance and Acronym are pretty good with positioning themselves in the high end space and getting a loyal following, so they'll stick around for awhile.

>>9053595
cheers, i assumed it would've been something industrial based, i also though delivery people (having to be out in the elements) but then thought if they could afford this shit then why would they still be delivering.. I'm yet to see any "techninjas" or people dressed fully tech, and i've only seen a handful of gothninjas in the past few years yet everyone implies its "out of fashion" or "outplayed" which i've never understood.

>>9053535

Personally I plan on making most of my wardrobe merino wool and synthetic fabrics within the next year or so. So comfy and practical, while not being as loud or polarizing as gothninja. I don't think I'll go back to pure cotton pants either, my big legs need stretchy material, and I like being able to move without ripping crotch areas all the time.

There have been a lot of modestly-priced brands popping up lately so there's a lot more options for consumers at different price points like this anon pointed out:

>>9034431
>>9040585

Hopefully brands will expand their colour palette to lighter shades and pastels for SS15.

>>9053863
I'm gonna check all those brands out now; I'm still a student so obviously im limited to how much I can spend but I'm saving and working to be able to afford some acronym (next to skin and lightshell) as they're works of art and I want to support the work.

I like the futuristic feel of the techwear garments, I want to dress a mix between post-apocalyptic and techwear, like a juxtaposition between the clean cut fabrics of techwear and the destroyed drapy garms of the post-apocalyptic aesthetic. I must sound autistic..

>>9036504

Hey gays, i need a warm bigfat but at the same time techfeatured winter jacket. Its gotta be ready for cold ass scandinavian weather. Not to expensive. show me the way /fa/

What's the point, you probably couldn't track one down let alone afford it

>>9058666
I would like the reference for this item as I am interested in the designer and his minimalistic approach
Thank you for questioning my wealth and interest

>>9058674
the leather vest and jacket are 2 different pieces

>>9058686
Yeah, but what's the shell under the snackbar vest? I love the double zip and material
Ty

>>9058693
The model under the balaclava looks like the acronym fellow but I don't recognise the shell

>>9058693
>>9058704
The shell literally has the Acronym logo on it. It's a GT-J5A. Nothing else in the fit, except maybe the scarf, is Acronym.

could something like this work well for a winter tech fit?

>>9060251

that looks pretty neat

>tfw enormous head and have never worn more than a beanie in my life.

>>9060264
This one's a little cheaper.

>>9060251
>>9060278
Wear these and you'll look like a phony

>>9057817
yoox has them for $180 iirc

>>9060311
how so?

>>9060326
read books, kids

>>9060331
I was considering getting one of those hats too, for that exact reason.

>>9053535
really, the demographic is whatever the real-world equivalent of richfags from /out/ would be.

all of these brands are basically makers of high performance outdoor and athletic gear. "techwear" is just a weird offshoot where faggots paint the shit they bought from REI black, rant about the death of capitalism and fap to their waifu, molly millions, all day.

but who's actually buying "techwear"? rich /out/ists and mallninjas from /k/ (srsly -- condor, a budget tactical gear manufacturer, rips off TAD designed goretex products for most of their line)

>>9061084
> "techwear" is just a weird offshoot where faggots paint the shit they bought from REI black, rant about the death of capitalism and fap to their waifu, molly millions, all day.

I am more than okay with this as an Official Definition of techwear, so we can stop flinging shit about what it is and isn't every thread. Besides, it's accurate

>>9032438
Chris get outta here, they're called visor sunglasses or something

Cop those pumas in white 4 me plzzz

>>9052750
close, but I believe you're incorrect.
the TAD jacket has a logo emblazoned on it by the waist, as your pic shows.
the poster above is wearing the condor summit (or summit zero, which is the same coat, minus the microfleece inner layer as its a warm-weather variant)

i have one too and it's a nice coat, but it also uses condor's knock off of goretex, and has lower quality stitching than the TAD coat...which is acceptable given that the condor product costs ~90, where as the TAD product is 200-500 iirc.

>>9061163
a more concise definition would simply be
"dress like JC Denton".

Stop. Just stop with the fucking forced techwear meme. The fact that this thing has been going on for such a long time shows how much cock /fa/ really sucks. Is that effay? Are my hideous workers clothes fucking effay? NO! Same thing.

Now let me tell you that you people are on the road of getting doomed. DOOMED! And when I say doomed,I MEAN IT! I'd rather spend time on a fucking /b/ loli horse cock fucking thread or some /mu/ garbage. I know none of you actually like this HIDEOUS excuse for fucking serious clothing. Everyone knows it. You only like it because you're so insecure about yourselves and actually fucking care what /fa/ tells you. You might see people on the street wearing techwear, and to that I just say : "they fucking fell for it",because they are obviously browsing this HIDEOUS general, and that only shows one how huge /fa/,and in particular techwear generals have become. And to that, I just say : "Fuck off,hideous bastards!".

Kill yourselves if you can't let go of it, sincerely, me.

skinny jeans + boots combo is /fa ?

>>9037104
i don't think it's exactly like that. a balance is what he's looking for. what looks good and is also durable. not either-or which is the type of black&white thinking some people here have

>>9062258
What are you even going at, i'd rather have a jacket that keeps wind and rain out than not, is that too hard to comprehend?

how do i into techwear jogger?

>>9063213
duh

>>9062258
this argument has no weight.

>>9062258
when i mean no weight, you're arguing about something that's entirely subjective yet you're this mad. this much effort was used to express how mad you actually are, it's ridiculous. great projection of your insecurity too.
