How did this board become home to people who hate self-expression, hate deviation from the norm, and think the entire point of fashion is to look conventionally attractive to other people?
this is a fashion board, not a looksmaxxing forum.
If you don't wear clothes because you like them and they make you happy, and you have unrelenting disdain for anyone who does, then why bother talking about fashion? What's your fucking deal?

I'm here because I'm bored and I feel like shitting around on the retarded fashion board. Fuck you, for one.

I'm here because I like when people make fun of other people. It makes me laugh when someone retarded posts themselves and everyone makes fun of them

Hear hear. I think the problem with this board is because there's not many regular users, and we're easily overwhelmed by the tourists with no interest in fashion passing through to ask retarded questions and give their retarded opinions before they piss off. Especially /fit/ fags fishing for more compliments and /a/ weebs looking for how to dress like their favorite animu.

i think they have it more right than many, honestly
trying to dress like an anime character is a little cringe but at least its a legitimate reverence for fashion and wanting to look cool on entirely their own terms, not some contrived "core" or generic alpha m looksmaxxing
given the proper guidance they might actually develop a more realistic and natural style, I mean hell, I got my start in classic menswear because I was a doctor who fanboy and thought he looked cool (pic unrelated)

It's pretty much like that on every board now. Grifter bots hate everything posted no matter the subject even to the point of disagreeing with their own opinions

I'm just glad we're past the point of 95% of threads being rick owens circle jerks talking about which version of geobasket is the best. I've always thought rick owens was boring but saying that in /fa/ is like saying 2pac is overrated innahood

Looksmaxxing and incel shit has gone mainstream with the zoomies, so for every 1 person who's genuinely interested in fashion there are gonna be a couple dorks just trying to get girlfriends or whining about canthal tilts or whatever gay shit they talk about. Unfortunately it just is what it is.
If mods actually did their "jobs" they would be deleting all that shit or redirecting it to /r9k/.

when i first thought to look at this board, there was a few posts of people posting what they were wearing and it was interesting to see.
a few weeks later and those posts have all but disappeared, so i guess ill move on eventually.

This board is full of people that want to be interested in fashion but feel that they can't fully express that because it would threaten their masculinity.
So instead of expressing themselves, they yell at pictures of self-expressive people on a mongolian basket weaving forum. Really they're just envious and toxic masculinity is to blame, but that's a buzzword now.
