/fa/ is extremely aware of fashion (in a sense) but is also massively insecure

just look at how 95% of the stuff that gets discussed on here is just expensive iterations of extremely basic apparel, or how half of the outfits in every WAYWT thread are all-black sneaker + jeans + t shirt/hoodie combos you could easily get at tj maxx for under $40 and be seen as completely indistinguishable by 99.999+ percent of humanity

basically this community is simultaneously desperate to be accepted as cool/fashionable and terrified of being laughed in public for doing anything that's actually noticeably unconventional, which basically explains why every discussion feels so schizophrenic and it's literally impossible to put together an outfit that will actually impress /fa/ that isn't "something super unremarkable worn by an attractive person"

so don't worry too much about /fa/'s opinions being even slightly relevant to the world at large

Forget the goofninja comment but I agree that every guy on /fa/ dresses like shit, but it's not a bad thing. It''s because a lot of people on this site like to experiment and I love it. We refer to people as plebs because they don't experiment with clothing and are already comfortable with their dressing style however people from /fa/ only seek to grow and stand out from the crowd.

my asian (from asia) gf is scared of black people. Not exactly just because they are black, but the stereotypical black people, thugs, or anyone who is not nerdy or wearing a nice suit or something. At least from her experience, black people are loud, seem uneducated and wild.

I know this comes off really racist and thats not what I am trying to do. She has had black friends in college, but the black people we see on the streets or in public often stick out. Really sucks for blacks because they few "bad" ones give the whole group a bad image. Also some of it might just be ignorance of different cultures/people but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

I'll be honest here. I used to dress really fuckin shit and nerdy as a black guy so that people would not think I'm "scary" or a thug.

I try not to judge people just by their appearance, and she doesn't either. Just trying to describe what she told me.

However, I will say that making decision based off appearance is something that is essential to being human. Whether you recognize friend from foe.

A specific example is in China, an ethnic muslim group that lives in the northwest but has some who live in coastal cities. I don't discriminate them, I eat at their restaurants all the time. But, I will keep my eye out when I see them on the streets because they are know pickpockets, gypsies basically. I have seen them steal from others and try to steal from me multiple times. Friends in the police have confirmed this also, and they are a minority group.

That is a somewhat isolated situation but you should get the idea. People aren't trying to be closed minded, they are trying to protect themselves. I live somewhat in "the hood" and I have to say that I often see black people do shady things, but then again their is a lot of black people here so maybe that is sampling bias. Still doesn't impact how I interact with black people, but I am able to observe.

Not trying to perpetuate any racial conflict, just speaking about it freely.

That's largely because /fa/ (and a good portion of fashion boards) are plagued by community groupthink and an unfortunate pecking order that ensures that everyone finds the same things "aesthetic". Combine that with the fact that /fa/ and 4chan in general skew rather young, there's going to be a dissonance in what's considered "aesthetic".

Think of someone like Ryan Gosling. Posting one of his fits here will get you piles of replies about "dadcore" or "pleb shit", but he's not a poorly dressed guy by any means. Call me overly conservative at 25, but I would rather take inspo from someone like Dan Trepanier or Nick Wooster instead of going full urban ninja or wearing exaggerated tailoring like Thom. That's just my opinion, anyway.
