Some fatty writes a fucking encyclopedia about how he doesn't give a shit about fashion, can't be assed to learn anything about fashion, and doesn't like anything he's seen. Also, he doesn't like to dress up and can't dress down, is proud of how much he doesn't give a shit about the subject matter of the board he's posting on, and despite all this, wants "advice,"

... which actually means he wants sympathy because his two foot monster wang is caught in a snafu of success.

To make it better / worse, he's a disgusting hamplanet. A variety of suicide orders and insults are the least I'd wish upon this whatever the fuck he is. It's so good / bad if it was on /fa/ I'd think it was a troll.

The problem is the career I want to pursue is very high profile, and centered in a city that is also a major hub for fashion. If I want to be successful I am going to have to start putting thought into what I wear

I wouldn't say anything because being an ass to strangers on the Internet isn't my M.O., but this stuff makes me cringe harder than anything. The seemingly total lack of an even slightly sensitive inner compass, the impression of someone continually dead-ending in worn out scripts like "growing up."

>Just to be clear, I do want to dress better and look better for reasons other than social necessity. Some where along the way I found my confidence, and I think it's time my outward appearance reflected that.

And this near-end disclaimer doesn't help anything.

I also can't shake the feeling that he's talking about going into finance. It's got to be finance (NYC) or filmmaking (LA), right?

Looking back through his post history, it seems it's probably the latter, but... where would he get the idea a filmmaker needs to dress well for their career? I can't even reach a full hand count of contemporary American directors known for the good quality of their style.

Well, like I said, the list of careers that are "very high profile" and "centered in a city that is also a major hub for fashion" is pretty small. Finance/NYC and filmmaking/LA are what first comes to mind, in that order.

I guess he could also want to work in some other media field or in law, but considering his post history seems to pretty much be shitting on feminism and stuff to do with movies, I think my second guess was right.

>> No.6549606

because Leldit has a hugbox mentality where any sort of comment that forces someone to face reality (fat shaming, racial realism, men's rights, etc) are met with the downvote brigade because they've been told their whole life that you can ignore your problems and it makes you feel just as good as facing them head on.

Because we're not /adv/

Being in alright shape is a prerequisite to look best in whatever clothes you wear; while a whale might be able pull to pull off a few things, most everything will look like shit on them.

Second of all, fashion (from what I've seen) is largely based on confidence—something that most fat people don't have.

Reddit encourages people to be nice and helpful because you can amass points for doing so, but fat people aren't always spurred in the direction by "nice" and "helpful" responses. When it comes to your image, nothing is better than brutal honesty.

>> No.6549763

it's possible to be fat and post on this board. I'm fat. sometimes the opinion of fat people on this board doesn't sit with me well, but I can take it, and frankly, if you can't handle other people's opinions, your confidence level is probably hurting you socially more than your clothing is.

I have no sympathy for fat people who come to this board and get scared away.

and frankly, /fa/ isn't wrong about fat people on every point. it's true that certain levels of obesity are unpardonable. it's true that losing weight should always be a priority. it's true that being fat is symptomatic of a character flaw, and other people have every right to criticize you for it. the body positive movement, IMO, has achieved little other than making fat people seem self-righteous and delusional.

where I disagree with the board, the disagreement is over small but significant things. I do think knowledge of fashion and some entry-level spending on clothing can have a significant positive impact on a fat guy's life, socially and with regards to self-confidence. I think that fat people can't look great, but they can look better; they can look more self-aware, more hygienic, more interesting. so I think that when people dismiss fatsos asking for help with "don't bother" they're really not taking the question seriously. and I think the severity of the character flaws that cause fatness is exaggerated.

but there's no need for /fa/ to change, and certainly no need for /fa/ to be more polite.
