I think these need to be fairly regular since everyone seems to have complains about this board.
All I'd have to say is that I don't understand how we can have fairly decent discussion of designers and clothing items, but when it comes to our WAYWT threads, all the outfits are shit, usually crossposted from teenmfa. Fix it /fa/.

[Anonymous No.10419380]

>>10419338
Most of the fits and shitposting are xposters from other boards, and they don't attempt to troll the designer posts because they don't know enough to know what would rile people up, and they won't get their reactions.

A good example of this is "cuckcore" which is pretty much the embodiment of this issue. They will comment, call someone a cuck or whatever, then just disappear back to their own board and come back hours later and see their handiwork, because of how slow this board is.

The best way to stop this is to just not respond to the trolls, and only respond to actual critical analysis of fits in WAYWTs.

the waywt is a poor reflection of the board overall because those who are more certain in their personal style and engage in those designer discussions dont really need the validation, so what you have left is mostly young newfags/poorbois trying to either get critiques or reassurances that theyre being a good little boy (the ones who dress palewave, stan smiths + pinrolled black jeans, budget slp, or whatever nonsense trend theyve latched onto to fit in). its only once in a blue moon do you get good fits, but mostly its for posterity and those people have moved onto tumblr cause thats a much more manageable way to archive your fits

Yeah, then why is anybody who has ever posted a /fa/-approved designer fit is a tripfag?

Problem with /fa/ is that they've latched on to the 3 or 4 fucking WORST designers in the industry, and anything that doesn't fall into the too-dark-for-you black-as-my-soul omg-ultra-rad-anime Hot Topic 3.4159265 aesthetic is >>>/mfa/-tier.

I feel like the space you're describing, of unfettered subjective experience doesn't at all reflect that which /fa/ fanatically constructs, which intends to break the self-confidence of all but the most hardened or mentally dull. People can be both assured of themselves AND sensitive to communities that they try to represent. It's healthy to take into consideration the views of others. If the only view you know you'll get is hostility, character assisination, or disinterest in your process and effort, then not even the designers themselves would post here. I can't come up with a single reason for someone truly interested in fashion to post on /fa/'s waywt. The only exceptions are people like knoch who make fashion a personal project that he invited /fa/ into, making his posting more like updating a blog people follow than flippantly posting whatever the fuck you we're wearing. The other point is that there's simple disinterest in self-presentation among some of the fashion elite. They keep to themselves. They do not feel a need to translate their clothing. It is highly critical to their identity and they know they don't have a relationship with clothing that reflects the gaze of the casual waywt poster. I would say a place like 4chan has a lot of these inward facing individuals that don't have any use for waywts nor do they wish people to make of their fits what waywts do. I much prefer other forums where there's a community agreed rule of no commenting. That's the sort of open area those types of people would consider showing their clothing in.

There was exactly two I saw, but they died while I was in them, less than thirty posts a piece. However the bait article about some model who walked in NYFW with Downs Syndrome got 60-70 and stayed up for two days.

I've tried a lot of fashion oriented threads of the years and I'd say they're way less productive use of time than just flipping through a fashion magazines and occasionally posting fits from lookbooks I like in the general inspo threads. So that's what I do now.

same thing I've noticed with "NXTLVL" threads as well as various niche design threads.

interesting threads die, because there isn't enough interest among the users.

also: questions are asked in threads and there isn't enough knowledge or motivation among the users to answer them. people want to "get" more than they give back here. people ask questions in threads, and then they don't care about bumping them or sharing knowledge.

[Anonymous No.10421142]

WAYWT threads have gone too far. This is true.
They are less of a catalog of styles than a hive of bullying.

/fa is a place where you floss. Fashion is about flossing after all, imo.

The problem is this board is more focused on money fame and status than fashion.
The fashion is less clothes and more insults, whats the cool new dissmeme and such.

The board is all about rick/raf. Barely see it in WAYWT and 'inspo' shit etc.
I think more people are just trying to prove they know what rick/raf is than that they wear it.

Trends change too, this decade will be remembered for being 'ironic' in youth culture. Hip-Hop fashion looks like like 70s punk fashion these days, for instance, what the fuck is up with that?

This board is full of dumb shit all the time. People asking how to comb their hair, where they can get socks from, what orange juice is effay and all that stupid shit.

I think if we started embracing more of the fashion world and just ignored the rems we might come out the other end with a decent and relevant style, there has been some terrible 'cores' recently (I hate that too)

Lastly, when will people realise if you can make a £10 tee look badboy you are doing it right. If you still look shit in £200 shirts you have bad taste/slave to fa/shion

I mean I think that's what the 8ch /fa/(s) are for, but my experience with mirrored boards there has just been "a bit worse/worse than the real thing, but 'freer'" , but in this case the alternative needs to be A LOT better, and /fa/ suffers from TOO MUCH freedom in posting. I think caretags was the response from Sufu/malefashion/legacy /fa/ users for the sort of "state of decay" they saw. The trouble is that it's too slow.

If they can't handle the opinions and perspectives of other people actually interested in fashion (and not some pleb at their work/uni or on the street) then really what is the point of being involved in a fashion community at all? I am not saying you can't just enjoy clothing or fashion for its own sake completely internally without any other people involved. But if someone is like that; a kind of clothing collector who is autistic/obsessed about their personal interaction with the garments rather than the social aspect of fashion, which is what the vast majority of people are focused on, fashion-interested or no, then why would they even care to talk to others about it? Why not just buy shit and enjoy it in their own way in their own lifestyles? It's so pointless to be here if you can't even engage or express yourself through your clothing, that is the entire point of this place and other places like it.

I think that's just the thing, right? There really aren't that many people engaged in the fashion community, at least online. Think about the thousands and thousands and thousands of 200-5000 usd price-point designers all around the world (i.e. the bread and butter labels of people "interested in fashion".) I'll be damned if I see even .00001% of the fashion industry's output in the "big three" for people who post on /fa/, comprised of Sufu/SF/SZ. It's always a mystery to me where all that clothing disappears to. It certainly never shows up online among the fashion forward. Heck I just saw like my first locally Chinese designer on Sufu the other day, Eyes and Sins, and they've been kicking it for years and years. People just consume in relative silence I think. Frankly I'd be most interested in talking about fashion theory, but being a primarily leftist field, I can't say I'll ever find a good space for that discussion online.

[Anonymous No.10421554]

>>10421516
I try to talk to my non-fashion-interested friends about their clothes sometimes, because we are all in our late 20s and either have our own businesses or a professional career that affords us disposable income to buy clothing, among a lot of other things. I can tell they put effort into the buys and how to wear it and they probably spend more money than me as they get their shit full retail from department stores instead of online, or second hand. Yet when asking about it they mostly get very flustered, uncomfortable and are unable to articulate themselves well, despite all of my friends being university educated and well-spoken. I think for many people their clothing choices are extremely personal and for straight men, we also associate fashion as a feminine or homosexual pursuit, so to admit that effort and money and consideration have gone into their choices exposes their ego to criticism and attack. Not to mention that they are not stupid, so even if they might not know why a particular look doesn't work, they can still realize they are not movie star or model and rather than putting effort into correcting fit and style to match whatever they have idealized for themselves and their image, they just shut down.

This is rambling now and off-center from the discussion regarding why fashion forums like /fa/ are struggling, but the thought processes of those uninterested in fashion may be useful in understanding the failings here.

Now this is exactly the sort of thoughtful posting I would want out of a fashion forum. Thank you for this.

I have to imagine this can be generalized out to most fields, no? The fear of crucifying oneself for critical awareness. I mean this, you know, you must die for your sins if you wish to gain awareness. Suddenly there are so many demands, so many contentious places where to believe means to stake oneself against public life (this is the trouble with fashion--how to liberate oneself when it means you must do so in the open, in the people's square.) Instead we chose to be liked. Humbly professing no knowledge of clothing is an easier path to be liked than living seriously under the gaze of deep engagement with it. That's a burden. Who has time to be burdened by their clothing? Already the sun is too hot and we're overdressed, or it's too cold and we forgot our gloves--that's already too much suffering our clothing causes. I think there is a fear of how much autonomy good clothing actually has. How much it actually stands outside ourselves and *doesn't* reflect our decisions about it. You have to learn to speak to a garment--it's corny, but nonetheless true. Too much effort, too much risk to feel "insane", no reward, only alienation.

Well said, and I agree. But for those of us who do wish to engage with others in the same boat, what is the ideal channel? Fashion discussion forums seem to attract people who need validation and friendship as much as they want to discuss about fashion; and once they have established themselves, it seems to kind of limit the potential for honest discussion: to save people's feelings from being hurt; politics; etc. /fa/ isn't afflicted with that issue as much, but because of the lack of moderation, it also allows sadistic children to destroy the process by filling it with vindictive white noise that invalidates the medium. I am not really sure how it may be resolved. Or is the decline in quantity and quality of discussion online a wake up call for us dinosaurs to get with the program, wear whatever is laying around, clean and comfortable and embrace our smart phones and instagram accounts and tumblr blogs for our corporate-mediated self-expression needs?

I think I first started coming to this board in late 2012, back when all the fashion advice was "levi 511's, OCDB, Clarks desert boots". It was all very boring and samey, but I remember people seemed to actually care about their clothes and their advice and criticisms.
What happened? It seems like there has just been an influx of the 18-20 year old crowd and all they do is spout the same 5 memes over and over in every thread. I shudder to think what responses I would get if I posted a fit ever. I legitimately only come here to laugh at how stupid the users are now.
tbh i think /fa/ is fucked and I think there isn't anything we can do about it short of making an entirely new /fa/ that is heavily moderated as far as "is x /fa/" threads, hateful threads, or useless threads go.

tl;dr /fa/ was once an ok ship with a few leaks that we could bucket out, now it looks like swiss cheese and we need to build a nicer (albeit smaller) boat from the wreckage

Just because they use black doesn't mean Yohji and Rick are goth you retard.
I wish the designer and avant grade fashion threads were more popular but they're just not. Plus, in almost every Rick thread we talk about Ann D, Jan Jan van Essche, Sruli etc

What designers are you into?

>scared of posting
Top kek
Do you think people fear going out in public wearing goofninja less than posting on a small fashion site?

Have you even met anyone who was into high fashion? Most of them are so busy will their lives that they don't need to spend time showing off on waywt. What's the point? They don't need validation since they're already have self confident.

That's something you can't cop buddy.

Remove tripcodes, people here don't use them for what they are intended to be used for. Entire threads get derailed because Reeee decides to answer every post or sieg comes into lie about how he's not a virgin and people just HAVE TO respond to them. It always just devolves into the tripcodes having their own chatroom for the rest of the thread until it dies and then move on to the next one without the topic at hand ever being discussed. Remove the vermin.

Get a janitor to enforce bans on people who don't read the sticky.

>>10419854

Leave then.

>>10419909

You aren't supposed to post with a tripcode, but like that stops anyone from doing it. Beyond that, this place seems to have a lot of people from other websites who are too keen to try and fit in. It seems like a lot of the shitflinging is either for attention or because they want to show that they are in line with what /fa/ generally agrees on.

[Chuck !w1Bug5WJHk No.10423682]

>>10423662
While we did have some shit trips, trip codes are important in yohji/Rick threads because when your buying expensive clothes you want your information from trustworthy people.

But there ar either reasons as well. For example I trip so I have an easy to find archive of all my posts.

I don't know, I've been on 4chan for 10 years now (fuck me, that is weird to type out) so it's weird for me when people tell me they even use archives. The entire appeal for me initially was the anonymity and lack of a record, you could post anything and it would hold as much weight as anyone else.

As for the rick/yohji threads, you could provide a photo with timestamp rather than trip to prove you own an item and can comment on its quality. Beyond that, I would not trust any information I get on 4chan without looking elsewhere to verify it first.

>>10423741

That is unfortunate that they feel that way, I will acquiesce if that's how most people here feel.

[Anonymous No.10423790]

Learn to read, dude. He is talking about people who are active on fashion forums and don't post their own photos. Not people into high fashion who don't spend an appreciable amount of time online.

I agree with these a lot, but do you know how much of a pain it would be if every little piece of advice needed a time stamp? It's not even always about proving you own an item. Certain trips like NAHK, EDC, and facist know a shitload about Rick and other designers. I really appreciate their opinion on I.Ding fakes and shitty deals on grailed. It's also a great way for newfags to not listen to trolls.

Take Massive for example. During the summer he would shit up as many Rick threads as possible and get butthurt about, then he would shitpost some more.

Now what if he didn't have his trip? His anonymous posting could very easily make some poor kid spend all his cash on a shit deal, or even fakes.

Also nice anime
