    I don’t know what’s sadder, people paying attention to some incels obsessing about women or people paying attention to celebrities and met gala.

      Admiring artistic fashion choices by people that often make other kinds of popular art and denouncing the reactions of misogynists attempting to demean and dehumanize those artists simply because they are women are two VERY different things. What’s sadder is your “both sides” reaction to a clearly toxic attitude vs. people exhibiting art through fashion.

        people exhibiting art through fashion.

        Celebrities dressing up to promote crazy expensive brands in a event sponsored by Bezos. Yeah, that’s for sure the kind of art we should be cheering for.

          Whataboutism is an easy logical fallacy to fall into. Art being supported by rich patrons isn’t exactly a modern new thing. And brands are kind of inherent in the fashion industry anyway. This kind of art may not be my thing or your thing, but it’s still art, and still VERY different than demeaning gossip around gender stereotypes.

        denouncing the reactions of misogynists

        yah thing is though, there’s no reactions of misogynists either on this page or even in the original post itself. Literally all it is is a photo with a caption saying that this is trending on social media, subtext: someone out there will probably have said something that you should get angry about.

        You’ve been successfully rage-baited. Just do as I’m about to: block OP and move on

        Social media conditions people to seek outrage everywhere… even if they have to invent things to feel outraged about.

        If you can’t tell if im talking about your comment, the one you replied to, or the OP, there’s a reason.

        That’s the actual sad. In the empathetic sense, not in the sarcastic way it’s being used in the above conversation.
