What the fuck happened to /fa/? Only about 2-3 years back this

What the fuck happened to /fa/? Only about 2-3 years back this was a place where all the threads were about people trying to be original in their sense of fashion, trying as much as possible not to copy others with their style. Wanting to express themselves with their style and actually define themselves with it, which was merely beautiful.
Now every thread is about the same fucking style; sneakers, skinny jeans, a bomber jacket. What the hell? What is this? Did it suddenly become cool to look exactly like one another? And the funniest thing is, these people ask whether they're "cop or not." Whether their style is accepted by people who dress up in the exact same clothes as 90% in the board. What the hell?

Pic related, it was posted here in a time where people actually chose what they wore themselves, not by others in a board.
>>
/fa/ has always been shit, your pic only serves to prove that point
>>
>>11172904
4chan is reddit now
>>
I'd say that /fa/ always had people copying others' style. The pic you posted looks straight out of r/menswear.

No, the bigger problem is how political everything has gotten. Every other post seems to spawn /pol/ nonsense.

I loved it how people came here to get inspired and to inspire, still having their own individual style in the end. But now it's just everyone asking "Does /fa/ approve these shoes [insert a photo of $300 white sneakers]?" and whether their style is accepted. Of course it's accepted, it's what every fucking one on this board has on.

>>11172922

I seriously have no idea what the fuck happened. Trying not to offtopic, but /b/ is full of porn threads nowadays. I stopped lurking after having been there for about 7-8 years, simply because it basically became /sex/. Good luck trying to find a thread other than "Bubble this photo pls", "Teen thread", "MILF thread", "BBW thread" etc.

>>11172928

It's more than okay to get influenced by others style because that's what fashion simply is about, but trying to look EXACTLY like others just goes beyond my understanding. You're very right about your /pol/ statement.

(reddit comment guy)

Yeah I know, I spent a lot of time there in high school, but by my senior year the reddit kids started talking about the crazy threads they saw on 4chan XD lel the scariest place on the interwebs.

I think when memes became apart of pop culture 4chan got fucked

Meme shoes I can understand, but that the whole fucking outfit of the day is exactly similar on every thread! I could make a real-life collage out of all the people on /fa/ with a bomber, skinny jeans and trainers and it would reach from L.A. to Paris and back. Someone has a red bomber, someone white. Someone has blue skinny jeans, someone black. Everyone is "Is this good? Is this bad? Am I /fa/? Cop or not?" when it's the exact same fucking shit in the end. Your bomber has an extra pocket? Good for you. Your trainers have Japanese on them and cost 200 dollars more? Awesome.

Can't understand.

>>11172952

Exactly! It's supposed to be fun and creative. Makes me wonder how stupid our generation is. For a while I sincerely felt proud because the 2010s seemed like a decade which encouraged people to find their own thing, their own passion, their own fashion and dress however they would like to. But now it seems like you can only be "accepted" by others if you dress exactly like them. This is like junior high school.

>>11172976

Yes, it's pretty stupid to ask whether a bomber jacket, skinny jeans and trainers are "cop or not" if every single person on the site wears the same outfit. What's the difference between the clothes? Barely anything!

>>11172981

Well, a few years back people at least strived for originality, even if they didn't quite succeed in it. Now it feels like everyone's just given up, checking "Oh, /fa/ calls this dope. I'll buy it even though I think it's hideous."

I think it should pertain to what you like.

> political everything has gotten

4chan in general went from being "irreverent + immature + bullshit" to fullblown "politics + let me break it down for you kiddo + activism".
Been here for 5 1/2 years.
At first it was lel I'm gonna call you a nigger this time because shock value. Then it went to doing it all the time. Then it morphed from irony to seriousness but there's a difference between the Ns and regular black people and now we went full Klan.
We went from being bitter about women to straight up hating them and they're now officially inferior creatures.
Our internet went from bringing everything down to sex to everything back to muh politics. I remember people saying "its just a small minority don't worry" now it's fucking rampant and I am in the minority ruining it for them it appears..

And there's nothing i can do about it. This website is not for me anymore. best boards are still the unpolitical with productive output like /ic/. They won't last.

I (and most of /fa/ I think) still dress like thay except for the fact that its in all black and the jeans are skinnier
>>
>>11173370
But the whole point of that thread is that the essence of the character is being ignored in the name of muh diversity (whether that's actually the case or not). The fact the matter is that SJW seeps into every aspect of life (therefore every board), and so it's a natural conclusion that you'd see the militant shit everywhere as a counter culture thing. I'm getting pretty meta here, but 4chan has always been the inverse of that stuff, and so as PC sensibilities increase to fever pitch levels like they are now the militant shit posting naturally also increases. I agree that it's fucking annoying, but I'll gladly take it over the alternative.

>>
>>11173424
>>11173424
You make a great point but I disagree on that type of "counterculture" being better.
You see, 4chan used to be a counterculture extremely independent of mainstream media not defined by being a primitive negative of whatever the current trend was.
Our counterculture used to be weirdly more refined, ufo-like.

Now it's entirely defined by being the exact opposite of whatever "there is". In that sense we're exactly like feminists that define themselves as being the opposite and vanguard against the patriarchy , they cant exist without it. Those al sharpton millitant blacks that can't move past the age old anti white racism as an excuse to fight the KKK. Or those antiglobal anti capitalism pro marxist ultra communist anarchists pro drug free love anti war pro hug tree huggers who think they figured it out.

Those retards can only identify some yin and establish themselves as the yang with no real solutions nor real identities past conflict.

New 4chan is exactly that. Reactionaries. That's worrying since it prides itself in being so independent and counterculture and "aware" of the bullshit.

Did you read his post? It seems like he would rather it go back to irreverent, apolitical stuff.

And you're post is exactly part of the problem. Injecting a "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality - and automatically assuming someone's a "SJW" just because they don't like seeing political stuff posted all the time.

>>
I'd still rather the reactionary culture to, dare I say it, conformity. People see the cultural marxism as a threat to the "4chan is the place I can say things I can't say anywhere else" culture, and so react viciously. You made a good point about how being bitter towards women has turned into full blown sexism etc, but again I think that's just a way to protect the general 4chaj culture by going deeper into the rabbit hole. Rather than being strictly contrarian I see it more as method to retain the essence of the website.
>>
>>11173271
>90% of thr "political" stuff is just trump memes
lol no. Try, for instance, to post doc martens. 90% of the responses will involve "this is what tumblr SJWs/nu-males/libcucks" wear. Nothing to do with how they actually look, but rather, with the supposed political affiliations of those who wear them

Even the word "cuck" - which began as a lighthearted insult to celebrities/e-celebs/whatever (and had nothing to do with race or politics) - got thoroughly transformed by the /pol/ machine.

All of your pics are in the same stylistic sphere, maybe you're blinded by your bias?

There's plenty of variety on /fa/, you just don't differentiate them because it's not your style. You're mentally lumping together a huge variety of stuff simply because it doesn't click with you.
>>
>>11173271
type in cuck or sjw or any other garbage buzzword into the archives of any board and youll see that /pol/ stuff isnt just "trump memes". /pol/ is firmly ingrained into the site's hivemind and there is a very specific political orientation that people are expected to follow if they dont want to be bludgeoned into a meme abyss. it might be less apparent, though still very much present, on /fa/, but you need only take a look at /v/ or /tv/. the fundamental nature of the discourse on this site has changed over the last few years and if you dont think it exists youre either being willfully ignorant or have simply internalized it due to long exposure

That shit was seriously what made me stop playing video games. The retarded insistence on lame edgy humor as a way of proving you were "not an SJW" turned everything into this tiresome McCarthy era type shit. Lost a lot of friends, too, a lot of people felt they had to pick fucking sides. Made me realize 99 percent of people who played video games were unhinged fuckheads who lived on the internet.
>>
It's because in this day and age if you try to do anything other than what's "normal" you'll be called a hipster. So instead of being made fun of or whatever people just listen to what the internet has deemed as cool. Then when that's no longer cool they jump onto the next trend. I mean, it's nothing new really but creativity has been zapped and the internet plays a big part in that.

The ratio of creators - regurgitators is fucked.

it's still obviously far worse than itw as back when you had posters who actually cared about fashion, not streetwear, and you could also fucking sage. and not get banned for swearing. fuck, why didn't you fags move to a less cucked imageboard like everyone else did? and OP your taste is fucking trash fyi

4chan used to be defined by its apolitical-ness. the whole point of "for the lulz" was that it didn't care about taking 'sides' and only wanted to bring down people who did. raid targets were always people taking themselves too seriously.

It doesn't matter have many years have passed, 2011 still makes you a huge newfag and part of the problem. your analysis is weak. hating women was always present, the difference was that it both was not uniform nor controversial. Nobody cared how radical you were or the shit you said since everyone was joking or trolling or both.

but now the only time the opinion is expressed, it's the same extreme position, and everytime it is expressed, you get newfags like yourself getting triggered by it. it's a result of the rest of the internet changing, not 4chan, though chanology and reddit spillover and then moots fuckery with /r9k/ and /new/ censorship exacberated the problem.

4chan was beyond saving when the cancer became so terminal that they redefined cancer-stopping tools like saging as ebil censorship or "downvoting" or "sekrit club" etc. I haven't seen someone tell a fag like you to lurk moar in months

> apolitical apathy should be hip enough again
right accelerationism is already hip you tard.

and neoreactionaries in general are entirely nonpopulist in their politics, which is socially apolitical as it means no interest in convincing or converting the people, publicly identifying with positions, picking petty fights, etc.

right wing traditionalism is definitely cooler than left wing for having academic foundations and being underdogs against the hegemony, but nrx is definitely a step cooler. it goes the hardest of any politics while maintaining the most cynical realism, it's wholly outsider and has intelligent and venerated critical foundations but still para-academic.

But you have to be careful because too cool is uncool. hip is only what your friends find hip.

imo the only thing cooler is if a radical french lesbianism revivalism cropped up. true apolitical apathy is never cool, because it's impossible and just makes you an implicit tool in politics at your ignorance, and unless you're living under a rock, everyone knows it.
>>
eh, this board is barely a fashion board. at all times it is totally obvious that almost everybody here has learned how to dress, smell etc on the internet. you can spot people a mile away who know how to dress and these people don't get their advice from people on 4chan or reddit (websites where, lest we forget, the general userbase says things like "senapi", "cuck" and posts pictures of pepe the frog).

seriously, if you want to be good with fashion, follow blogs, subscribe to magazines, go shopping often even if you don't buy anything and be around people who dress well.

also, if you aren't cool, don't even attempt streetwear.

Sure there may be a majority ruling on this particular board about what/what not to wear but whenever my cop is either bad or good I don't give a frogs fat ass at the end of the day as long as I think it looks okay on me. You thrift and shop Carbon and Simassus on the weekend? Sure do. You think your shoes look better than mine because the pattern on them looks like a pink waffle fry from Chic-Fil-A while the rest of it looks like a aborted neon-colored fetus flushed down a Miami nightclub toilet in 1987? Damn man, you must have a minor in fashion and dress way better than I do.

>muh ''everything'' is subjective pomo vulgarization
Your wrong opinion makes a perfect example for the possibility for an opinion to have less weight, usually through being uninformed but more often misinformed.

A little introspective thinking on your own part should be enough to tie out the irreparable contradictions in your received meme (pro-tip: relying on our god-given unique and indissolvable souls is not very convincing) but if you can't manage that yourself, Bourdieu's Distinction explicates the environtmentally received nature of "taste" better than anyone.

tl;dr lurk moar or kys

Well, that was the difference. It was all in good fun in the past. Things were said for fun or for shock value. Some are still doing this - but there is a definite subset of the site's community that are taking things seriously, and are actively angry about "muh SJWs" or whatever.

it's always good to remind the board that tripping does not have to be inherently cancerous

I'll might post some more interesting stuff Soonâ„¢

This tbqh.

Every time I go to a WAYWT I can't help but laugh.

People on /fa/ wear the ugliest, poorest fitting clothes imaginable. Guys, if the only people wearing clothes similiar to yours are the Asian kids at your college there's something wrong.

have you considered that perhaps this self of yours is not worth expressing? that no one is nearly as infatuated with yourself as you are? that your uniqueness is more like a pimple on the ass of society?
>>
>>11175490
that's true for every board BUT /fa/

the only times when this board has had consistent, meaningful fashion discussions was when an active group of tripfags were around to guide the discourse. you may not have liked them, but trips like twerk, anorak, timber, and user were vital in pulling /fa/ out of the /soc/-lite/lookbook.nu rut it had been stuck in since its inception. otherwise, youre only left with the anonymous mass of highschoolers dressed in uniqlo and worshipping acne jeans drowning out anything worth reading, which explains the sorry state this boards been in for the last 3 years
>>
>>11172904
>2-3 years back
>people trying to be original

You obv weren't around holy shit

/fa/ has always been a hivemind niche with everyone doing exactly the same shit

we just moved through peacoats, ~spacecore~, drkshdw, vaporwave, pale and now whatever this is

the only thing that's truely changed is that /fa/ as a collective has gotten more angry with one another
>>
>>11175965
everyone is angry because they want their tryhard sheep unfashionable unoriginal fits to be fashionable and original, and then get butthurt to a nuclear level when they find out they didn't invent something super normie and mainstream like distressed jeans with chelsea boots and a bomber
>>
>>11175504
Twerk and Anorak were both pretty knowledgable, but they both seemed to think they were missionaries sent here to teach the heathens....and neither of them seemed to have much aesthetic sense.

/tv/'s been shit since 2011. all pedo and celebshit threads besides forced memes. it had come out on top of an analysis of all the boards and the percentage of tripfag posts, something like 40%.

fyi, if you've got taste in film, full/chan has a top tier but slow board

Well, this is the problem. People need to chill; I've always come to 4chan to have fun - not to get angry at people.

No other boards even cares about how joot betrayed 4chan, despite how it killed the entire site. 2 years later and now you're starting to smell the /r/menswear

The sjw got mod positions and took over /cgl/ and /co/ and joot disgustingly tried to get /v/ to accept sjw posters. there was some popular activist on reddit praising 4chan for free speech and to curve the wave of reddit cucks from mass being massed red pilled.

The anti-sjw movement was being censored on /v/, like how /a/ is being copyright sensored now. Any cunt can easily just get a vol/mod position and timeout and ban anyone, this is what made 4chan reddit tier.
