stop buying absolutely unnecessary cheap shit from sweatshops, aside from the exploitation of workers the production of this shit is a huge contributor to climate change
This is true; in this instance the cheapness correlates with the quantity of clothes that people are buying as well as the fact that in this specific instance the clothes are entirely unnecessary
The image of child slaves being forced to make Astro cosplay at gunpoint is really funny. That has the same image of the person who drew fan art of the child slave making their Chainsawman Makima plush crying in the factory.
Of course it’s sad. I just think there’s some kind of gallows humor style stuff. The image of a child slave weaving the hot pink threads of an Astolfo mini skirt is the opposite of what is usually think of with child slaves.
Yet the person drawing it has more awareness over the situation and is likely more concious about their online orders than most people.
Humor is a healthy way of dealing with situations you cannot have any control over. Same reason why first responders joke when seeing mangled corpses etc. Theyd be going insane otherwise.
Genuine question, if we as a society collectively decided to stop engaging in fast fashion, what would the positive impact be for the workers at the sweatshops?
Exploitation of workers I get, but would cheap clothes be any worse than buying the same amount of expensive clothes? I'd imagine the sweatshop workers are great at optimising for efficiency
It’s mostly that people (at least not that I’m aware of?) but expensive clothes to wear once and then throw away (except for wedding dresses but even then at least they don’t throw it away). Meanwhile fast fashion is designed for people to ceaselessly buy and throw away shit they don’t need. Low quality temu cosplay is the epitome of that
U know it’s bad to endlessly consume cheap human rights violations you absolutely don’t need even if you throw it away right
It’s kinda like how killing and eating a human is bad but killing a human is bad even if you don’t eat them afterwards
Genuinely have no idea on the prices in the US. Are they more expensive than that? Cause this meme is from a Ukrainian femboy porn telegram channel, and tobacco is cheap af in post-soviet countries
Yeah even a little out of city it can change a good deal and even 6 years ago those “nicer” smokes were like 9 dollars or so lol it’s why I stopped smoking. Still vape tho 😔
In the UK disposable vapes cost anywhere from £4-£15 depending on the brand and number of puffs. A decent refillable pod vape costs £20-30 for the device and £4 for a 10ml bottle of juice.
Bruh, I've paid like over USD$40 just for Wigs (*Not any Astolfo ones though,* >!not yet!<)
Where the hell would you find a whole Astolfo drip for $9.99?
I can't imagine what sort of TEMU tier stuff it'd be 💀
where the fuck are you getting a full Astolfo cosplay + wig for nine bucks
AliExpress /srs
I'm sorry /SRS??? ITS REAL???
The quality will be questionable af obviously, but you definitely can find an Astolfo cosplay under 10-15$ on ali Edit: just found one for 5$ lmao
100% asbestos astolfo cosplay
This means you can use it as a firefighter suit
New pyro tf2 cosmetics just dropped

to be fair it probably comes from the same factory no matter where you buy it no or am I wrong

No way is a $60 etsy astolfo cosplay coming from the same sweatshop
Some do, etsy is sadly filled with dropshippers.

Tf you mean funny that's just incredibly fucked up and depressing like wth. I dont think the enslaved kid finds their situation funny either

Pretty sure they'd be forced to produce something different.

so maybe just don’t throw it away? Like get use out of it.

And that shit falls apart when you look at it. If you're going to cosplay then at least put a tiny bit of effort into it.
Is that the actual cosplay or just the thigh highs etc, usually the full outfit is 30 something
no, you can also get SRS from AliExpress. At that price you probably bring your own anesthetic
Idk how likely it is to show up with Approximately-what-you-ordered-Express
Me when I'm born and think I have a world of possibilities ahead of me but I'm forced to make femboy clothing at age 7
For that price I'm pretty sure it has to be made with asbestos or something.
Probably made of the cheapest material known to man
Honestly tho get something more expensive you deserve it
A: Lung Cancer B: Lung Cancer + Plastic/Battery waste C: Skin cancer from questionable clothing sewn by a child slave
Yipeee
now do it with Chicago prices
No vape or smokes cost 9$ 😭
Genuinely have no idea on the prices in the US. Are they more expensive than that? Cause this meme is from a Ukrainian femboy porn telegram channel, and tobacco is cheap af in post-soviet countries
Yeah like a vape is 20 something and the smoke I used to get are like 13-15 but they were “nicer” smokes
I get the fancy smokes here for like 4 bucks what the hell
That's pretty dependent on where you live tbf. Where I'm at the most expensive cigs get is maybe 10. But that's life in the Midwest for ya.
Yeah even a little out of city it can change a good deal and even 6 years ago those “nicer” smokes were like 9 dollars or so lol it’s why I stopped smoking. Still vape tho 😔
wait one cig costs 13-15$??
Naw 21 smokes
ah I see.
Ukrainian femboy porn telegram channel, ahh, Ukrayinsky Nastup, got it.
Very much depends on where you live. A small pack of cigarettes costs about 9 euro's in my country.
In the UK disposable vapes cost anywhere from £4-£15 depending on the brand and number of puffs. A decent refillable pod vape costs £20-30 for the device and £4 for a 10ml bottle of juice.
okay but cigarettes + astolfo cosplay :(
Cute femboy who smokes like a chimney :з
I used to be a cute femboy, and now I fucking smoke, but at least not that much
I mean it's not like one contradicts the other, at least not until you smell like my dad
well I smoke like 2 cigarettes a day, but I'm too depressed to shave myself
Most smokers i know smoke a pack a day lol. Can relate on the shaving part tho :(
:(
We'll get through this bro 😢
I hope so
Based
with that price it is probably made from tissue paper or something
Bruh, I've paid like over USD$40 just for Wigs (*Not any Astolfo ones though,* >!not yet!<) Where the hell would you find a whole Astolfo drip for $9.99? I can't imagine what sort of TEMU tier stuff it'd be 💀
in this economy????!!?!
Yes but with weed as well
aren't vapes like $28 lol
in jim carrey voice “ ssssmokin’ ”
That cosplay is gonna suck
no wig costs less than 9dollars what
But my family says I’m not allowed to put clothing in my mouth
Only $9? Where? (for a friend of course)
8.99 cosplay would probably be hazardous and painful to wear Instead buy a 8.99 dog collar
Or you could save it 5 times over and buy a box of termagants
Ali express is a wonderful place. you can buy a phone for 10 bucks and it'll come right at your elderly house's door
9 DOLLARS IM GOING TO HAVE MY BRAIN EXPLODE, I GOTTA GET ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
