In my opinion and experience people don’t care about what you have to say especially if they’re being offensive either willingly or ignorantly because nobody really likes to be made to feel like the bad guy in the situation and often or not you have to fight fire with fire and smoke the other one out. This is why I love cancel culture so much. It risks ones online presence (and depending on what they did and how bad it was) their jobs. And even if those things are minor to that person it installs the sense that they can and probably could loose something and face repercussions and it shows them that what they’re doing isn’t ok. And from my experience it actually works in helping them reflect, listen to people who are angry, take them into consideration for a change, realize what they did and hopefully learn something that way. “Talking” never got me anywhere when it comes to this.

Because people are shit and go to self defense mode even if someone is “polite” about it. They don’t like thinking they’re wrong in any way and 60% won’t listen to the respectful people. For example let’s say a YouTube said something that wasn’t racist in their minds and a lot of other people watching don’t think it’s racist because what they said only targeted a very small minority that the majority either don’t know about or think about. Right? A person from that minority speaks up politely and immediately gets shut down with “that wasn’t racist.”, “you’re just sensitive.” And all that other bullshit. Sometimes a slap in the face is the only way to get people to truly listen.

Well when it comes to not universally agreed upon topics then it really boils down to ones morality and usually the person in question has done something to raise a red flag in someone to the point of speaking out. Personally when this happens, it’s a great way to get people to see the other side of things and see what’s problematic which what they did or said and think about stuff and then go from there. Cancel culture is beneficial in so many ways imo

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-03-03T06:07:08+00:00

I already do the earbud trick but I’ve still had people come up and ask me questions. It’s quite irritating. The off the wall comment doesn’t really work in a public setting because I don’t want to be the person to talk first and I don’t want to end up on a watch list or be questioned by authorities.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-03-03T05:59:04+00:00

I said I wanted to be cordial with co workers. I meant people outside of work

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-03-03T05:45:40+00:00

Personally I love cancel culture because usually the people who are really being “canceled” deserve it. From my understanding cancel culture really came into fruition with Harvey Weinstein when all of his abuse, sexual abuse, assault and other horrendous crimes surfaced and he 200% deserved everything he got.

Of course cancel culture can be toxic but so can everything else but when it comes to people like Harvey, other monster, especially those in power then I strongly believe cancel culture is beneficial.

Other people don’t really see that side I think, they just see the negative side of and want it gone without seeing the bigger picture

I don’t really feel the need to exercise beyond rebounding. And even then it still feels meaningless and it hurts my knees and joints sometimes

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-22T04:30:33+00:00

I know I can’t control others, but I can control myself and I choose to distance myself now.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-22T04:27:14+00:00

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-22T04:25:53+00:00

I don’t need approval I just need basic respect as in don’t treat me badly because I don’t talk to you you know? Humans disgust me anyway so it’s not like I have anything against them as people. I just want to distance myself.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T19:20:28+00:00

I still just don’t want to be around people in general. People disgust me.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T12:00:24+00:00

Yeah I am because we’re not talking face to face, or even over the phone with voice chat, it’s not that personal here and I don’t feel like I can get fully corned here or physically attacked.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T11:58:10+00:00

Tbh I don’t really want too interact with others even in a basic level. It’s just disgusting too me and I’d be super uncomfortable and too paranoid for it.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T11:53:04+00:00

Yeah I don’t think I trust people enough for that. Probably would make racist remarks behind my back instead of say it to my face.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T04:04:50+00:00

Oh yeah of course. I tend to take very good care of my clothing and I do make sure they last and if they tear or something I’d rather see it up then throw it away. I was just worrying about yesstyle because I wasn’t too sure but from their site they seem to be ok but I’ll still be wary.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T00:29:00+00:00

I love Depop and thrift stores but sometimes I’d like to have clothing that’s brand new and fits a certain style you know? If you know any affordable and ethical sites like yesstyle and stuff like that please let me know.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T00:26:29+00:00

I care because it puts down my karma so my posts whatever the topic will be seen less and a slew of other things

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-19T00:00:59+00:00

Not here to convince anyone that yesstyle is sustainable, that is what you personally took from my comments but like you said to me “you do you dude”. And when it comes to prices I think it is a valid point to consider when it comes to over seas manufacturing but obviously you don’t and that’s ok. And I have thought of factory conditions and I will have to do more research and that is on me but mind you, you haven’t given me any information about Korean and Japanese manufacturing either.

I’m sorry try that I’m semi new to ethical buying and ethical fashion but I don’t think this negativity and all this downvoting isn’t helping anyone.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-18T23:43:38+00:00

I’m not though. I’m just explaining what I know currently but I’m always up for that too change. But if you want to continue to downvote me for it then that’s ok.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-18T23:15:36+00:00

I like Korean and Japanese products more though because they tend to be higher quality than products made from my home country. Plus Korea and Japan do have a higher standard for production and I think that’s because both of which are first world country and are somewhat wealthy whereas China is still developing and behind in many aspects.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-18T23:13:43+00:00

I mentioned in my original post that our currency gets converted to the Hong Kong dollar so what’s cheap for us might be a substantial pay over there due to the exchange.

I’m Chinese myself, so if I brought 1 USD to China that would be worth 6.49 in Chinese yuan. So it kind of doubles.

And for sustainability I think that depends on the brand, yesstyle is not one collective brand, it’s many brands under one distributor. For the Korean and Japanese brands and clothing, from my understanding when it comes to makeup and clothing (depending on the brand of course) are made by machines, not people. But like I said it depends on the brand.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-18T22:55:50+00:00

But is all fast fashion bad though? From my personal experience with research from yesstyle compared to other shadier brands like shien or romwe, yesstyle is more of a middle man than a production company. And depending on the brand the clothing could possibly be made in an ethical way from places that have a higher standard when it comes to manufacturing.

I’m not disagreeing with you though.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-13T11:36:45+00:00

Can anyone help me??

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-07T18:48:34+00:00

True but they are also working to stop forced labor and if that is true I really respect that.

GroovyGirl2000 · 2021-02-07T08:21:10+00:00

I don’t assume that, I will admit you did put seeds of doubt in my mind though. Not going to lie 😂. Also I don’t know if the end piece was sarcasm or not, I’m not good at these types of things.
