I mean come on there's no other way to look at that, it's a literal Hangman's noose.
Putting aside the suicide thing, people would wear that in public? Makes you look like some kind of cyberpunk cultists
No one really, actually cares about fashion, so they do outrageous shit to garner attention. See: all the blackface stuff recently, literally anything of Kanye's, and that "monkey" shirt with the black kid.
I was gonna say, weren’t there terrorists in the latest Deus Ex games dressing exactly like that, nooses and all?
Time for Square Enix to sue them for copying future fashion trends
Terroristwave, coming to a fast-fashion retailer near you in 2020
Its worse you could only hang an infant with that small a noose
Fashions shows aren't demos for upcoming products, they're literal art galleries using clothing as a media.
I think it looks cool
nooses arent implicitly paired with suicide though? Im so fucking sick of people getting outraged over nothing and everyone caving to the whining for the sake of correctness. Don't get me wrong there are absolutely limits but this is the least offensive thing I've ever seen, would these people go after someone with a noose tattoo for the same reason?
Great hoodie i you want to look like Scarecrow https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dcanimated/images/7/75/Scarecrow.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/255?cb=20081115131502

It's not a fuck up, it's advertising.
The only other thing a noose is affiliated with is killing other people which is itself either murder or a form of execution that's been seen as so barbaric and unnecessary that it's been done away with in virtually every first world country so you're not really making a great case here. I personally would have argued that suicide is an appropriate subject for art and that any other art form could have touched on it without criticism but I guess go off on how hanging someone is a totally cool thing to do if you want.
I came here expecting a slightly offensive t-shirt print, but as usual it is worse. How removed are these people to think these are ever going to be fine with current culture?
Second statement might be true, but the first one is just wrong. Fashion is huge in almost every country, maybe not in your circles, but that doesn't change how many people do care about it.
You quite said it yourself, who wouldn't want to look like a cyberpunk cultist!
to be fair, when you put it that way....
instead of man hang from noose noose hang from man
terrorwave is unironically a real thing albeit niche, look it up on pinterest https://imgur.com/gallery/RbThU (started ironically but hey when does it ever stay that way)
'Modern fashion' looks like an episode of 'Spot the looney'
You may as well just say that people that like things you don't like are crazy
This is always so frustrating to read. It's the runway man, it's high fashion. None of these designers make their shit for the streets, they're art pieces.
Boohoo. To me art isn't only something for insular groups of mutual fart-sniffers to play at. The most brilliant piece of art in the world is equal to the most banal piece of shit if neither makes any attempt to be understood.
Not all art needs to be self-explanatory, and plenty of art has no meaning at all.
I never said Art had to be self-explanatory or necessarily have an underlying meaning. But if i'm going to bother picking out a piece of art among the clutter, it needs to do more than coasting on the name of somebody who can make rooms full of Bourgeois morons clap their hands. You tell me how that dumb fucking noose-furcoat-spacebiking-astronaut costume is going to survive more than a month in the newsfeed before it pisses off into the ether of forgotten shit, and why i have to treat it with automatic reverence because its 'Art~'. Hell it cant even find reverence in its own fucking medium because people are pissing themselves over being reminded that suicides exist.
Well sure if you only look at the weirdest stuff. But a lot of high fashion is genuinely pretty, takes a ton of craftsmanship to make. Custom designer clothing isn't easy work. It's easy to dismiss an entire medium if you only get exposed to a faction of it. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/297971/3556d3c9-4510-48bc-86da-e5ba14cb4f1a/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/297971/909d20f2-a0e1-4c34-92d6-14a6b2dde78a/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/297971/f352ef6f-63a8-4464-a16f-df94e3e72943/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/297971/d7f9591e-3ff6-42aa-9930-9a728d5d2286/image.png Heres andom examples I personaly like. It's varied af theses days, if you actually pay attention to what's being made by cool fashion designers. And their work influences other mediums a ton, for instance Eidos Montreal contracted a high profile german fashion brand to design the coat of Adam Jensen in Mankind Divided.
The good thing about art is that it's all subjective. What may not stick out to you may stick out to someone else. Maybe all of the "morons" who enjoy this stuff just like the way it looks? I don't know why there's this implied attitude of "I don't need to REVERE this 'art' just because someone said I should!" When nobody is asking you to do so. It comes across as, ironically, way more pretentious than the people it's supposed to be criticizing.
What the fuck is this 'It's not valid art'-shit you're giving me. I didn't say that. I'm saying its Shit art. Its a rich-people's club, it exists because its inflated with money. Mark my words it will impact our culture in no other way than selling clicks on a website. And i'm not sitting here foaming at the mouth either, i'm not angry. I'm not even wearing pants.
