can you believe male artists literally go on stage in sweatpants and put little to no effort into their performances but female artists have to get custom bodysuits and learn 2+ hours worth of choreography to get half the fuckin recognition and critical acclaim like what kinda nastiness
now that this has 50k notes and i give negative ten fcks anymore, i wanna say that i 110% wrote this w the intention of shading justice beaver and zayn pain in my ass and i’m so glad my implicit hatred got so many notes yall r the real mvps
Fuck yes. This.
(running around at night with a big shovel) yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! yes!!! (wrecking someones lawn) yes!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!
i wonder how many white “anime inspired owo” artists on this fuck site have any idea that when they draw their (esp underage) characters in a seifuku - with an outrageously short skirt that blows up provocatively- that they are unwittingly perpetuating JK culture (aka a phenomena linked with pedophilia and human trafficking of underage girls) and further cementing it in the west as a portrayal of japan and trying to make it seem positive and cutesy that they do so.
you can reblog this if you want btw like im not trying to “pull one over” these white artists or whatever i just find it really ignorant how this isn’t recognized as a problem but tbh have crusty weebs ever truly cared ab the genuine issues of the country they fetishize? no
Something that really frustrates me is that nobody seems to discuss the exploitation and furthermore, the sexualisation of children within the fashion industry enough. It is an actual law that those under the age of sixteen are not permitted to participate in modelling and this is just yet again another law that the fashion industry, much like the laws against real animal fur, freely bypasses simply because they can; simply because nobody gives a damn whether they comply with the law or not. This needs to change, and people need to start taking more notice.
This Haute Couture season, 14 year old model Sofia Mechetner walked the Christian Dior runway wearing nothing but a sheer, see-through dress which exposed her breasts. Not only that, but Raf Simons stated that the collection was based around the conceptual idea of a forbidden fruit which is sickening to think about when combing sensual, and provocative terminology to a 14 year old girl. In addition to this, just think how many people would have seen this young girls breasts that day given that in this day and age of Internet and technology, thousands would have been watching the Dior show on live stream.
Repeat after me: Young. Children. Do. Not. Know. What. They. Want!
When we’re pre-pubescent newly-turned teenagers it’s a fact that we don’t know exactly what we want in life: University, college, what subjects we’ll take, and all while juggling and developing our gender and sexual identities. It’s a time in our lives when we become the people that we want to become. However our naivety and child-like personalities blind us to danger. It excites us and that’s exactly what the promise of money, glamour, beautiful clothes and the promising idea of becoming the next IT girl does to young and impressionable children. Exciting to a 14 year old girl, but behind the Dior diamonds, there is far more darker side.
Living in 2015, the concept of nudity has came a long way over the past fifty odd years, and the nude body (especially the female nude body) is celebrated by most as empowering, and something that should be perceived as beautiful. Nudity should be something that should be seen as an art form, and that is exactly what the fashion industry has been suggesting and creating since the 1990’s and before: Models with their breasts exposed, men striding down the runways in their underpants, their abs glistening with baby oil! In the fashion dictionary, the word “taboo” does not exist. However, child nudity is illegal and a crime yet it seems that through nepotism, money, reputation and power, even the highest ranking within the industry can avoid the law.
Yet it is not just girls who are exploited in such a manner. Male models often get overlooked within the fashion industry. Although just turning 17, male model Serge Rigvava recently released two up close and personal shots which portrayed him sitting in his underwear and smoking, with a rather obvious looking bulge underneath the designer underwear. Whilst not entirely illegal because of his age, having a 17 year old posing in a provocative fashion for the world to see is certainly a risky move.
It provokes the underlying questions: why is the fashion industry so strangely obsessed with youth? What is so attractive about children wearing adults clothing? Many designers would tell you that using younger, child-like, baby faced models is to suit their overruling aesthetic of their collection. Despite this, I can’t help but speculate that there may be a dark obsession with combining children and fashion- an equation that I want no part of.
it genuinely baffles me when people say 80s fashion was ugly as if early 00s fashion wasn’t the greatest crime against humanity committed on historical record
