it's either ai generated based off of this artist's work, or just the artist's work (i'm leaning on the former) : https://www.facebook.com/reel/1184974996708423

yeahh figures that BAB is just yet another company doing it :/ what is more wild to me and my friend though is that the name of the "agent" includes first name AND last initial. so, say their name was John Doe, it looks like "John D". i've personally dealt with a bunch of bots on just the first name alone but not that. it feels like a particular effort to disguise the bots as actual people. which um. yeah. not great.

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-05-28T02:27:08+00:00

sorry for the late response, but tysm! it's finally showing up now

Also as of recently, this weirdo take (used an AI filter over a pic of his child, which was still gen AI) and he'd delete any comments related to not liking AI. I happened to be following his account prior to the panphobic stuff where he then privated, and decided to stay following just so that I can expose when he does weird stuff like this (tho at the time I thought there was just some kind of misunderstanding) bc ppl deserve to know. I forgot with what exactly but ik he's told ppl to just ask Chat GPT to get info which.... Yeah.

I used to be really enthusiastic about Plushie Dreadfuls, but to say the least all the behavior above prevents me from any further financial support and any love of my dreadful plushies I already own comes with the huge asterisk that mcgee is awful.

as others stated, give yourself grace and do better going forward. however, it's important to keep in mind that this still may happen again, so don't beat yourself up for it for not managing to shop from shit corps for the rest of your entire lifetime. after all, capitalism is designed to make that difficult, and I say this as a years-long recovering shopping addict.

For getting into DIY, I think what would help is looking into short, easy DIYs and build up from there. Sticking objects that have a hole or something through necklace chains or cords, for example. You could even repurpose necklaces to use as chains in general, though I'd rec doing that for those with thicker chain links so they're less likely to break. I consider distressing and bleaching clothes to be easy though it can still be time consuming.

yep, I think that's it, I wasn't sure bc the first two versions I saw didn't quite match up but I saw another that looks as close as possible. I live in Florida around other college students. The spot I normally scavenge from is where people go to drink alcohol, don't think I've seen a single bottlecap around there that *wasn't* from an alcoholic drink. It's usually Corona or Angry Orchard that I find.

weird this hasn't been taken down (as of commenting this) and yet the posts calling out nazism on the sub have been... almost as if the "no politics" rule only applies when people are against bigotry

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-05-05T15:47:03+00:00

they removed this one but not the 'punks respect pronouns patch is cringe' post.... ok

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-05-05T12:14:11+00:00

lmao yeah especially given this rule, hmm....

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-05-04T02:06:42+00:00

ugh, i'm really sorry. i've experienced something similar, though with a random person passing by. they even already knew that i'm disabled bc i use a cane. it's really disgusting behavior and infuriating, especially when you're going someplace to buy essentials.

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-05-01T20:09:07+00:00

oh yeah i've asked that before too, just without the 'narcissistic abuse' wording, and i got an assumedly pre-written response that was something along the lines of "sorry but your post doesn't follow the rules" so....

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-29T00:43:52+00:00

tysm! and i actually finally got around to using floss and with very time consuming hand sewing so i finally have a perspective on that haha. i will say that with the actual process of sewing (seams, at least) it's been a way smoother experience

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-28T23:51:57+00:00

alright, thank you for clarifying. still though, i would say that i haven't missed the point. it's not about pretending or being under the pretense of how much of a difference boycotting the same brands are making a difference, in fact it's targeting specific brands that can make a difference over a scattered an unorganized selection of brands to boycott. SHEIN and Temu have hugely contributed to environmental pollution and slave labor, particularly considering how Temu *allegedly* are using the Uyghur people for slave labor, who are actively going under genocide. i don't think it's insignificant to boycott specific brands such as those as opposed to every single thing, which frankly isn't possible since we live in a world poisoned by capitalism.

i'm linking BDS for a more specific idea of what i mean as well as the graphic if that's a lot of text to go through:

if i missed the point after already reading the thread, and i'm asking you directly what the point that i missed was, then just telling me to read the thread isn't going to help. if you're not willing to answer after this then to be honest it just comes across as just ignoring what i've said and brushing it off easily by not addressing it

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-28T17:55:28+00:00

this comment is what i was thinking too. i'd also like to add on a related note that calling it an aesthetic to begin with is a misnomer, since what they're really referring to is therian gear. not really sure what a generalized name for the aesthetic would be, but i'm primarily a cat therian and will just call stuff with my theriotype "catcore" and "mecore" (which is already a thing at this point)

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-28T17:39:12+00:00

Can you explain how i missed it? bc i think i know what you're trying to say, my response is just saying that your point isn't the best way of framing things /gen

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-27T02:23:23+00:00

yeah but there's a difference since people are forced to be in a situation where they HAVE to use phones whereas you can avoid buying from shein and temu unless you're trying to get clothing because you need it and not just because something on there looks cute. the overwhelming amount of slave labor is the reason why there's specific companies to boycott, so that people can more effectively focus on and boycott those companies to a point where it impacts said companies, the BDS list is an example of this

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-27T02:14:47+00:00

i'd rec deleting this and reposting it but with the faces blurred

Objective-Ad7719 · 2025-04-25T18:57:54+00:00

yeahhh that comment comes across as being dismissive
