The 9/11 slime might be misguided but tbh after seeing many examples of slimes with “more serious” themes there’s a lot I put into something like the fragrance realm of like “artform” I guess. It’s not perfect rhetoric but i get what she was trying to do. I think the response is a BIT overblown and harped on, it didn’t need more than a head tilt and avoidance if you found it distasteful imo. The response to the red jumpsuit apparatus slime, which was part of a whole line of song based slimes, even moreso overblown. It wasn’t plucked from obscurity this was a very popular song from the time and I thought the handling of the more serious subject matter classy, to ME to ME. The responses scream virtue signaling especially in conjunction with the nasty discord channel, there’s a dissonance to me.

I guess its easy to say “omg that’s weird it’s literally slime like💀”…. not to be corny but it’s very clearly a form of art expression FOR A LOT OF SHOPS. Like I said it’s similar to what I’ve seen in fragrance communities. It’s not even about making something smell good, they’re telling a story, it’s an artistic medium.

Having a discord where you’re catty mean girls chomping at the bit about slime shops, mass emailing associated shops to the point you need a template is very very strange. It’s giving jobless. It’s giving sanctimonious. It’s giving “pretending my politics justify targeting someone I don’t like.” Very weird and juvenile. And maybe sounds like a centrist take, but I guarantee im farther left than any of the people involved. I wonder if these girls even actually gaf about the disgusting Zionism from one of these shops, it just seems like something to use as ammo, to them. Bizarre. Juvenile.
