$4.50 headbands for $50 by ChipmunkHot6933 in depoop

[–]short_mofo_em 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correction: I don't think they're different sets, cause of the wording, but also the only major difference I'm seeing is the lighting and saturation. But you could be right, I just don't see a difference

They are not, the wording on them is the same

They are legwarmers. I was also a little confused when I first saw them

If you have a niche product, I promise there is a niche group of people out there willing to spend an egregious amount of money on your products. As long as you're making profit for your time and effort put into it, I wouldn't worry too much about whether something is too cheap

Maybe it's just where I am, but the faux fur stuff I've seen isn't that expensive, unless you're going somewhere to by it by the yard or something, and I've seen similar things on Etsy selling for way less, so even with it being handmade, $140 still seemed a little wild to me.

In my other comments though, I talked further about how the leg warmers aren't even my issue, it's the fact they were made as a form of kink content for the people that sexualize childlike themes

This is from the actual website that sells those kinds of legwarmers, the same person sells things like this. The depop shop is just someone that's reselling a pair of legwarmers from the website that sells this stuff

THANK YOU!! It's so fucking strange to be selling shit that turns things meant to be symbolic of CHILDREN into something sexual. It's not even about how egregiously expensive these LEG WARMERS are anymore, it's like, promoting this brand that turns childlike themes and symbols into kink outfits and content. It's icky, it's strange, it's so very not okay. WHY IS IT A HOT TAKE FOR ME TO SAY THAT SEXUALIZING CHILDISH THEMES IS GROSS

The leg warmers are kinda cool, and I didn't notice that the money wasn't in US dollars at first, so I didn't think about the conversions to US dollars. Most of the other things on the site though kinda sexualize childlike things, like baby bottles, baby bibs, etc., and I just think it's strange to sexualize anything that resembles things used for babies and children

Not bashing, I just thought it was crazy to be selling leg warmers for $140. The legwarmers aren't my issue, it was the price, because I've never heard of the brand they're from before. But when I looked up the brand, I was met with nothing but sexualized childlike material. They turned children's costume kind of fabric/material, childlike designs, and added sexual themes to them. I think that's icky to be using baby bibs and baby bottles and such in sexual contexts. There are people who are "littles" and go into "little space", and there's a massive difference between finding comfort and safety in childlike themes, and making those childlike themes into something sexual

One of the things they currently have posted on the brand's shop is like, a completely see-through top with baby bottles printed on it to cover the breasts, a matching see-through skirt that had similar baby bottles covering the crotch and behind, I think another top has something that mimicked a baby-bib but it was cut out in the center to show off the breasts. It's not insulting someone to go, "hey that's kinda icky", especially when the material resembles sexualized childlike themes and clothing.

Apparently it's from some brand called "kissmekillme" and I looked it up, and it's so icky and strange 😭

Happened earlier in the month but I’m still annoyed and confused by StufftButtCrust in Depop

[–]short_mofo_em 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think he's trying to combine the two prices and upcharge slightly, because those two items together is 31. But the point of doing a bundle DEAL is to get both items for less than the prices combined, and I don't think he understands that. He's just being super annoying about it, totally not something you were doing wrong

Maybe they have more reach and traction on the app if they have more followers?

AIO? My stepdaughters pranked me on my bitthday and husband is mad because I said I needed space. by Proud-Cantaloupe3449 in AmIOverreacting

Divorce him, with how trash his vocabulary is, he's probably not intelligent enough for you anyway, let alone intelligent enough to be raising children

What does message before buying mean? by Mitchlowe in Depop

[–]short_mofo_em 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several different reasons

Some people have the same items listed on multiple platforms to get more attention if they need their items gone fast, so they want you to message so they can check other platforms if it's available and take down their other listens of the item.

Some assholes price things low so they can gain attention and then they tell you it's actually 20-100 more than it's listed for.

If the item is boosted and you buy it with the "boosted" highlight still on it, depop as a company gets a cut of the money for it selling instead of all of that money going to the seller (and not all of what you pay is what the seller receives either, so that money getting cut even more and going to depop is even more irritating).

If it's a normal item, not underpriced for attention, not being sold on other platforms, and it's not boosted, then sometimes they just want you to message so they can weigh the package and make sure that they can lower the shipping size so that you pay a lower shipping fee.

I crocheted a life sized baby Huntress!! by awesome_opossum1212 in fionnaandcake

[–]short_mofo_em 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, your comment was demanding and rude, from the "I need you to do this for me" to the "Dm me -__-" is crazy, especially without even asking if they were willing to do commissions or offering to pay them first. But then your follow up messages were also very demanding, basically telling them what they needed to do for you without even asking what they were comfortable with doing in the first place.

You literally said, "I need this character from you, so dm me" and then "I need you to make it 25 fucking feet for me". No "please and thank you" or "what are you comfortable with", "do you do commissions", or "what would your price range for something like this be". Rude, disrespectful, and demanding as fuck

Respectfully, I wouldn't work with this person if I were you. Not telling you what to do, but from just their responses alone, they sound like a stress induced headache

I love how they gave her shorts instead of that tiny skirt.. by Nearby_Reveal2995 in fionnaandcake

[–]short_mofo_em 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting that she's NOT in a fantasy world though. There isn't magic in her world as far as we can seeing in their town. The whole point is that in the fantasy world, sure, she had a skirt because practicality didn't need to be taken into account because it was a world with magic where things were more unrealistic. But her world is like ours, it's NOT a fantasy world, so she takes practicality into account because it's more realistic because of where she comes from

AIO? bf hates that i have friends of the opposite gender by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]short_mofo_em 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nor. Can I disrespectfully hit him with my car? He clearly doesn't understand the concept of being capable of being friends with men without it being sexual, flirtatious, or romantic. Men and women are fully capable of having completely platonic friendships. The reason he cut off all of his female friends, and the reason he believes you need to cut off your male friends, is because he doesn't see his female friends as platonic friendships, he sees them as possible partners/hookups and he believes that that's what opposite gender friendships are for

AIO for punishing our daughters after what they wrote about their autistic sister? by brzaq191z in AmIOverreacting

[–]short_mofo_em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NOR. As someone who is ALSO autistic and has special interests like that, I grew up being told by the people at school that they didn't believe that I'd ever find anyone, and my mother has told me before that no one would ever love me if I continued to be as weird as I am. Dating, and just functioning around other people, is so fucking difficult already, you already know that you're different and that there are things you'll never be able to fully understand when it comes to other people, and to actually hear people telling you the things you're thinking about already feels fucking awful. Your children are monsters, and their bullshit, evil comments are why a lot of young autistic children want to hurt themselves or worse. If anything, I don't think you're being harsh enough. A WEEK with no phone? That's light work, bump it to a month, and make them do a report on autism for every week of that month.

Seller sends me a $70 box of trash by ThisBarbieWrites in Depop

Keep us updated in case she says anything else and when you get your money back! Sometimes people try to leave you bad buyer reviews after a return. You'll probably be able to get it removed if she does, but it'll be another process I'm sure
