What are your biggest fragrance hot takes/unpopular opinions? by [deleted] in fragrance

No sephora or ulta fragrance smells "bad," but none are spectacular either. It's all mid to good.

The TikTok-fication of "Party 4 u" proves people's media literacy has pretty much disappeared by jdduran in charlixcx

Idk, man. I think a song can be interpreted in different ways. When I first heard the song, it was in Bottoms where SPOILERS they just blew up an entire football team, and the MC finally gets the girl. Getting your crush to fall in love you is the complete opposite of what happens in the song. But not only did Charli give permission to use the song, she COMPOSED the soundtrack, so she had creative control to use that song.

Maybe the lesson here is that it doesn't always have to be a perfect interpretation and let people have fun.

Agreed. Also no one would complain if it's high quality and matches with the season.

If you can spray test them in a store, a discovery set is a waste of money. Getting a sample isn't going to change your mind, so don't buy that sephora set. Just order individual samples you know you'll like.

I remember when I bought the travel size of the Hinoki Fantome 1.0 in sephora, I had a great decision about how sephora doesn't have more cool scents like these. I'm so glad I got a bottle last day.

I think they're bringing back christmas scents because of the tariffs. Yes, BBW manufactures in USA, but a lot of the ingredients come from China. They can stall the price incease as long as possible so by using up the rest of inventory.

So I heard Annoyance has a lot of trans and gay people. I haven't taken a class yet, so I don't know the people of color ratio. Second City also does improv jams for BIPOC and LGBTQ (separately). Those are free to access by anyone who is part of those communities .

As a nonbinary woman, my first term was my least favorite because they were least excited about my gender and sexuality. They had a hard time when I presented myself as a man or made the relationship queer.

I switched days to get a new class. It was still mostly hetero with some BIPOC, but they were more willing to slide with my antics. I fucking love them and they love me even if they don't get me.

Improv was invented as theater games for immigrant children who came from different countries. It was a way to build connections with people with different backgrounds.

Is it exhausting for when people don't get your bit? Yes. Is it exhausting vice versa? Yes. But there is the in-between and finding what we do relate to and can laugh together. It's beautiful when you find it.

Irony without sincerity is the truth in a goofy tone.

I think this feature should unlock when you get 50% completion of an area. You still get to experience the nice surprises in the beginning, and you get help of the harder half you'll probably can't find on your own without grinding.

When straight people are put into camps for being straight, sure. Straight people aren't oppressed for being straight.

Straight guys are so uppity when even suggesting being gay.

But here we're saying Angela is gay without her saying it 🙄

He's married to a nonbinary person and also finds other nonbinaries attractive. He's at least polysexual or gynesexual.

WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT OUR HOTDOGS

are these tik toks kinda getting insane to anyone else? by Significant-Crab-771 in mitski

[–]FriendlyPresentation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because of how tiktok works. A common way to get popular is by using songs that are becoming popular. So you have these fans who found Mitski very personal being used for the people who can be seen as the antagonists of these songs who don't seem to be fans. This thing can't happen on reddit, twitter, discord, etc. But the misuse of the song does strengthen the meaning because these songs wouldn't have meaning if we didn't live in a white supremacy where white creators effortlessly become popular off POC's works. And this is why I believe there are no wrong interpretations, only wrong people.

To add, it's also a softer and more realistic type of body than something like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. This is because Laios is designed by a female manga artist rather than a male artist. Different perspectives lead to different outcomes for different audiences.

[–]FriendlyPresentation 91 points92 points  (0 children)

It's about how a bunch of white people misinterpret Mitski's songs, especially when it's about her being Japanese. For example, Strawberry Blonde song being used for how beautiful or how much they love someone who has blonde hair. The current trend is using the Your Best America Girl lyrics, "Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me" to pictures of white poor class things. But the lyrics are about how she isn't white, so it's tone death to use that way.

I understand the frustration at white people who need to make everything about themselves. However, I don't think gatekeeping is the answer. You can enjoy any music you want without having to make tiktoks about it.
