I am surprised by the number of fashion experts here on facepunch.

I barely knew what forever 21 was before this thread, I saw it in a mall once and thought you needed an ID to buy stuff or something due to age restrictions

These have been trendy and popular since like 2012, and $20 really isn't that much. They're actually just beginning to be dated.
Many people here seem opposed to anything different than what their dads wear. Fashion is a cool and aesthetic thing, and while you may not agree with everyone's choices you should still accept them because people actually have different taste, like art (to which fashion can be considered a genre.)

Hey now, don't forget about effeminate men.

[QUOTE=Vitisus;47550053]Care to explain more about this? I'm curious as to how much of this is hyperbole. As for the photoshop thing, we'll see. I've been following this awhile.[/QUOTE]

Bought a pretty cool back to the future T-shirt from Forever 21, lasted about a month after the graphic faded pretty badly from the firs couple of washes.

F21 are fucked.

In case some of you don't know, if you pirate software 9/10 times you will be warned and asked to buy enough seats of the software so there is no more pirated copies. They may even carry out an audit to make sure you have enough seats.

Company I work for got caught for a few pirated seats of Solidworks (Which is at least 10x price per seat compared to PS). They sent 2 e-mail warnings before a 3rd warning threatening with courts, but agreed to let it all slip by if we just bought the seats we needed and they never even came out to the company to check.

I don't know how Adobe can tell if you are pirating but I'd be willing to guess it's more to do with people not knowing how to crack the software, and putting in work e-mail addresses than some secret watermark that photoshop is putting on.

F21 more than likely had multiple chances to buy the software and they ignored them so now they will deal with this in court.

Whats stopping people from just extracting the raw rgb data from images created in photoshop, into a new blank file in a freeware-secondary program, circumventing this hidden traceable data?
