models have always worn shitty clothing

[–] k_o_t@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

these types of seemingly absurd combinations are not intended to be things you wear on a regular day, to school etc, they try to encapsulate and present design concept and ideas, sometimes rather vague ones

all of that, combined with the fact that you need to accentuate certain aspects you really care about, obv in the end it doesn't come out as something super practical

Do you realize that you are taking issue with this person's body, not their clothes?

[–] huy_ngo@fosstodon.org -1 points 2 years ago

Hmm I wonder where you get that from

I didn't mean to respond seriously in a meme thread, but I do have to because of your response.Not more as with the meme in this thread. I think that the way of dressing is according to the taste of each one, which is oriented according to fashion and local conventions in each country. A Mongolian warrior from centuries ago is not comparable with a current man in a suit or with the outfits of the characters in the images, where if one can allege the absence of criteria, a common scourge in current times.

No, obviously you don't need to be serious in this thread, but 'it was a joke' is also no reason for me not to bring it up. The photo of the model makes sense. The next two don't. The clothes the model is wearing are pushing fashion norms. The clothes would cause people to take note regardless of the individual wearing them. The clothes are supposed to. The second two pics are focused on the combination of person and fashion. If a young, cis-woman was wearing those clothes they would not be a fashion statement. The person is pushing gender and age norms not fashion norms. I don't think it was your intent, but that sends the message that the person is wrong (not the clothes).

Rhetorical questions - Would you be comfortable showing this thread to the people pictured? How do you think each of the subjects would react to seeing it?

Today's men can't hunt and gather. All they know is be bisexual, eat hot chip, twerk, and lie.

[–] mekhos@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lying is not good but nothing wrong with the rest of those activities, especially hot chips.

A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm —"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye—[2] but parody, burlesque, exaggeration,[3] juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing.

I think seahorse was being ironic/sarcastic

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

One feature doesn't make the whole.
A satire must also classify as art form, apart from that feature.

It's a meme lol

Edit: Which means that yes, it's satire.

[–] sam@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

hot chips are immoral
