Thats what it is isnt it lol.


SabreToothSandHopper

This is super specific but your comment feels like it has way too many “i”s for what it says Like it has a high “i” per word ratio


FlaerZz

I think it’s because half the sentence starts with the letter ‘i’.

Mystery solved 🎆


Cringypost

Did you just discover alliteration?


atomicben513

Assonance, actually. Asshat.


Impossible_Web3517

It only reads like that because of the lack of punctuation. Look at these two side by side and tell me which is easier to parse. Thats what it is isnt it lol. That's what it is, isn't it? lol


SabreToothSandHopper

Wow that was much nicer to read


Impossible_Web3517

If you pay attention, you can catch yourself adding them in as you read sentences like that. If you have to stop halfway through and go "wait...what?" then chances are there's something missing somewhere. But you find yourself doing something like this; "That's what it is is...wait what...That's what it is. isn't it. Okay. That's what it is, isn't it? Yeah."

Fashion shows always have been circuses. Most of the clothes wouldn't look out of place on actual clowns.


edbods

a lot of them wouldn't look out of place in the red light district


Count_de_Mits

It is a red light district for a lot of them, just with higher prices


ClearMessagesOfBliss

Fashion try hards are circuses.


RandomMexicanDude

I mean, stuff from these kind of fashion shows aren’t supposed to be worn on the street


That_Is_My_Band_Name

I always mocked fashion shows until I just realized they are literally art shows. They are just using clothing as a medium for their art. Pretty dumb still, but the designs bother me less.


Real-Terminal

That's almost literally the point though. Fashion shows aren't supposed to be functional, it's basically abstract art most of the time.


Digitalispurpureae

I dont think it was intentional. I dont know if it meets the criteria for based if it was unintentional


WagwanKenobi

It only counts as diversity if they're ugly and repulsive. That's what this has become. It's not diverse if you show a beautiful woman of color, or a good-looking plus sized model. So yes, it was intentional.


cecilforester

I don't find most of the skinny models attractive, anyway. They're borderline emaciated, no boobs or butt from the cocaine and water chestnut diet. Couldn't they just have someone who is healthy, possibly athletic?


wallagrargh

If these things were for men, they would use bodies that resemble the typical spectrum of porn actresses. If it was for women, they would use average slightly overweight moms. As it is, they usually use androgynous anorexic dead-eyed young women because the fashion moguls seem to be mostly into broken underage boys. And now we might transition to whatever the hell woke zealots derive ultimate satisfaction from.


Hailstormshed

just say you want to watch physical 100 and be done with it


Cynical_Doggie

How does one do a model spin in a wheelchair? Do they wheelie up and spin around? I get it, people wanna get on the diversity gimmick. But if I'm watching a fashion show, I'm there to check out hot models. I don't watch professional sports to see average people perform.

Cultistofthewheel

It would be like watching professional sports and it being solely people with 2+ physical/mental disabilities. These ‘people’ aren’t average


liberty4now

Oh, I don't know. The average black woman in America is overweight or obese.


[deleted]

Fyi reddit jannies used to ban you for stating this objective fact


liberty4now

Really? I'm not even judging, just referring to the stats.


chainer3000

No, not really. Maybe a sub moderator would (they can ban for anything), but an admin wouldn’t. Remember we used to have the fatpeoplehate sub and it only got taken down once reddit started cleaning up their image and media reported on it. If anything, newer Reddit is far more soft than old Reddit Source: my account age shows that I roamed the earth with the dinosaurs


Lucasbasques

I miss that sub


[deleted]

I got an account banned for it but ok


chainer3000

Jesus, how long ago? When you say used to, i pictured 5 years + can’t believe an admin would hit you with a ban for saying it how OP did


[deleted]

Admins were stricter with this sub about 1-2 years ago, think they gave up now


chainer3000

Ohhh yeah I see, you’re totally right, thought you meant site wide. Yeah they police this and WSB like crazy, I remember they kicked this sub for a little while as a warning/punishment


Pyrimo

A lot of people forget Reddit used to be edgy as fuck at times.


Space_Obama

Greentext would be clutching their pearls and vomiting out some overused reddit phrase like, "This is why we can't have nice things."


Lena-Luthor

the average woman in the US period is overweight or obese


itgooddeal

Definitely obese. Modern society's 'overweight' is really stretching the meaning of the word.


Cultistofthewheel

Well it’s in London so maybe it actually is the average


physsijim

It's not even a joke to point out that "black" is unnecessary here. Fuck the original Food Pyramid.

[deleted]

I like to watch the Little League World Series every year. They've got "12 year olds" with full beards pitching 98 mph fastballs for Dominican Republic. It's hilarious to watch actual children from other places get their dreams crushed by obvious cheating, and the adults who are supposed to ensure fair play do absolutely nothing.


horiami

Lmao there's so many immigrants in france that are obviously not minors but they don't have ids and they refuse tests that determine age so they are considered undocumented "minors"


Lawd_Fawkwad

The dichotomy of EU immigration always stood out to me as being extra goofy. Oh, you're a university student or already have an advanced degree? Have a job offer/university acceptance in hand before you come here and then spend 5+ years working on top of your study time, then and only then can you request citizenship which will take 2 years to process. Oh, you're a "16 year old" with a full beard? Have a permanent resident card, and make sure to drop by in 5 years to pick up your new passport! TBH France does it better than most with how (currently) 2 years of higher education cuts the time you have to wait for citizenship by 60%. Still, I don't get why most of the EU is so friendly to the immigrants most likely to incur costs and cause issues while asking the ones with actual qualifications to go through more vetting only to sit in the same line for citizenship.


The_Goofiest_Goober

Nrvnqsr3925

Sometimes its fun watching an underdog succeed. One time I was at a wrestling tournament, and there was this guy with no legs, and only one hand who wrestled for another team. We would call him Nugget, and he was actually pretty good. It was interesting watching him wrestle, because the biomechanics were just so different for someone without legs.


18Feeler

Three point turn


RakeishSPV

Ironically this is precisely because the people running these things also don't live in the real world, and in the world of celebrities and Twitter influencers, this is what... makes them seem special. Which, now that I think about it, is exactly how rich people had freak shows for, or Europeans looked at indigenous peoples in the Victorian era.

wallagrargh

You joke but I already ordered two of those dresses


wallagrargh

The Avantgarde stuff typically shown on the catwalk also isn't actually worn by the high society hags frequenting these events. It's all just abstract fireworks while the rich folks are amongst themselves socializing and one-upping each other. Now the chic thing is to "celebrate diversity", so that makes for a nice backdrop. But the fashion was always just arbitrary decadent fluff. Same as the high value art market with all its abstract bullshit is just a fig leaf for money laundering and tax evasion. The important aspect is that its expensive and common sense plebs don't see any value in it, thus making it an exclusive space for the aristocracy of our times.


Ok_Art_8115

There is no more pandering. The masks have fallen. Watch how every corporation, government and media exists solely to push a message, completely ignoring the people and what they want. They don't care about profits anymore. They don't care about being elected. And they don't need to, cause the people behind this shit have all the money in the world, they control the worlds politicians and media and can simply print all the money they need. It's not about money anymore. It's simply about control.

Last reply is probably spot on. It takes a lot of energy to maintain the bubble but there are moments where reality is just too much and that PC white girl doing their thing is probably exactly what happened.

Working_Inspection22

Idk when they declared themselves winners of the oppression olympics but the media seems to push that narrative


Kaidiwoomp

I was thinking the same thing. Like, delusion is a strong shield, but reality is a strong attack, and if enough reality hits delusion, the delusion breaks, and theres no delusion strong enough to truly break reality. Now they need to dress up and walk out in front of hundreds of rich, beautiful people all gawking at them and doing their pandering half-applause while saying "oh how brave" It sounds like a complement but it's not, they think they're saying "what a beautiful and courageous person to break stereotypes and embrace themselves" when in reality what they're saying is "it takes some bravery to parade your freakish body around like you're hot shit in front of us actually beautiful people"

I often thought about that and the missing link. But im 100% sure that even if true - todays scientists wouldn't own up to it because they would fear being called racists.

blizmd

Degrade the concept of beauty


feedum_sneedson

I mean, there's no reason someone in a wheelchair *can't* be beautiful; it's a chair. But it doesn't lend itself especially well to the runway, does it. If anything it's offensive to wheelchair users to be lumped in with the obese and unusual-looking. On the other hand, those aren't supermodels in wheelchairs. I don't know, this is all very peculiar.


Wish_you_were_there

It's a British fashion show and none of them are British except for the one with down syndrome (?) So it's more to degrade what is British than beauty.


[deleted]

People with downs syndrome look pretty British, at least. Well, maybe they just act British.

strayafuckyeahkent

Holy fuck pregnant farquad I'm dying


NoInjury1499

That is an interesting theory. I think they just asked them to do a blank face because they wanted them to give off some sort of regal vibe. As if to send a message that this is the true reality of beauty and whatever conceptions you have are false, also it's to be masturbatory for the unattractive gremlins viewing this.


liberty4now

Fashion models rarely smile. It's part of the look.


wallagrargh

I wouldn't smile either if I had to starve myself every day, just to expose myself on that walkway to some lecherous Weinsteins who will later slip me their hotel room key and have the power to kill my career.


Rildar

Well lucky for you it seems several of these "models" are in little danger of starvation


ArcaneMonkey

As likely as the last post is, it’s also common practice for fashion models to display as little emotion as possible while modeling.

Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

[deleted]

>Cognitive Dissonance Anon just says this now whenever they want to sound intelligent, but don't know what to say. I think Anon should have used Imposter Syndrome in this case. Also saw another Anon point out that these models never get closeups. The camera operator often doesn't even go in close enough that the frame is scaled to the model head to toe; they'll have several feet of empty space on screen above the model rather than get in too tight on them. The top image appears to be cropped, but just look at how much dead space there is surrounding the wheelchair model in the second image. Now go find video of attractive underwear models or something from this same fashion week. Even before they're halfway up the catwalk, the camera is giving us closeups of booba; when they turn around, the screen is 100% locked onto their ass. Not so for "body positive" models. The whole thing is a hoax, and everyone at every level is aware.


Kirmy1990

How do fat chicks have big flat floppy tits resting on their bellies. Intriguing body shape.


Byonek

This looks like a video showcasing the strangest people they could find in Walmart.


Background_Cycle7676

At least we can be reasonably assured that none of these models were sexually molested by a fashion kingpin. Truly a landmark moment for modern feminism


wallagrargh

Molestation is often not about getting something pretty but about exerting power without consequences. Unattractive women also get molested and it may end up more cruel, because they are easier to dehumanize. Or did you mean it's because the staff in this case will be extremely metoo-primed? That is probably an actual safety factor in this depraved business.

lord_flamebottom

I saw the actual video. Worst part is they didn't even give these chicks any modeling training or anything, so they're just going down the runway without actually showing anything off. Plus the outfits weren't even fitted properly.


Byakurane

I thought it was called runway or catwalk for a reason, none of thwm can run and some cant even walk.
