>actually helped me in refining my tastes
>the trips were helpful and the memes were contained

cut to present day
>completely uninspired
>full of right wing vs left wing discourse
>any discussion about fashion and style is strained and dishonest

now i only visit here like once a week to see if anything cool is going on. never is

I've been on 4chan since 2006. At some point I stopped going to /b/ and started lurking boards that were relevant to my hobbies and interests. /fa/ was one of the boards that I started lurking from that point forward.

I heard Asap Rocky's hit song "fashion killa" and the rest was history

>browse /k/
>haha guys look at these fags on /fa/
>go to /fa/
>not as bad as /k/ hyped it up to be

>browse other boards on 4chan
>"hey there's this board about fashion let's see what's going on there"
>i liked it and it actually really helped me out and showed me new things
that's it

>Lurked on /b/ since like 2004, ended up switching to other boards when /b/ turned to complete shit

came from reddit

>>12669752
this place hurts to visit nowadays

>>12669752
whole website and to a lesser extent internet is polarized politically

not really a damming condemnation of fa T B H

>>12670934
Not him but it wasn’t like this when I started here either

>>12670938
that doesnt contradict what i said?

i said is, as in currently
you can't really get upset at fa for being influenced by prevailing culture my dude

>>12670941
It's only polarized because retards from /b/ and /pol/ seem to think that their shit needs to leave their boards. Shit like that was always quarantined because people used to know that you don't need to take your shitposting outside those boards.

>>12669697
>come to 4chan
>lurked a few boards
>"man, I wanna get bitches, I know I'll go to /fa/!"
>still kissless virgin, but I get occasional for compliments

>>12669697
>used 4chan
>into fashion
>never bothered to go on here because i thought it would be fat neckbeards talking about etnies shoes and graphic tees
>finally looked at it around 2012/3 and liked it

it's definitely got worse but there's an occasional thread which is pretty good, I only come on here like once a week now though, at the most

>>12670951
i think its more indictadive of a larger cultural issue that encompasses more than just 4chan t b h

If /fa is so shit what is there to substitute it. Im lookig for something like caretags but with more movement? does that even exist? where does everyone lurk?

kek

>>12669697
/fa/ is no better than reddit these days. r/mfa is mostly just basic non-hideous fits with a few really good ones, while every waywt thread on /fa/ is 95% awkward cringy shit. Mfa can at least competently pull off their boring style most of the time.

Correct. We are in a state of massive political polarization and acceleration. It's not the /pol/ users are going out an shitposting on every hobby board, but that politics has colonized the minds of the people who normally post on those boards. We are past the event horizon with this. Every single thing will be relentlessly politicized and everybody will be forced to choose sides until one side overpowers the other and deals a decisive blow that renders it unable to continue. There's no escaping this. Politics is going to consume everything you love until there's blood in the streets.

Since this place is so shit, where else can I discuss fashion?
I know where to get inspo but discuss fits without it turning into autistic screeching is beyond me.

I found /fa/ in 2008(?) while exploring the non-/b/ parts of 4chan. I had never really considered fashion before then. After years of on and off lurking, I still dress like shit.
