riddle me this, because ive been trying to find the answer to this question for years.
why do these supposedly heckin wholesome, empathetic, tolerant and loving people like ian and anisa all look like fucked up street thugs, druggies, goths or some other trashy aesthetic? why does ian have a buzzcut and a fucking gold tooth and anisa tries her damndest to look like a "bad bitch" in every pic she takes?
i really dont get the connection between larping as these super kindhearted and pleasant positivity fairies and at the same time going out of your way to look like you live in a trailer and mug people for a living. its not just the jomhas, its everywhere, theres so many of these people where i live and i just dont fucking get it. can they not feel the cognitive dissonance? am i the crazy one?
it goes beyond a sense of dress, these people love to gather in the most fucked up looking run down clubs and dive bars, oftentimes these places will go out of their way to announce theyre lgbtklglkqdnfg+ friendly and absolutely no heckin bigotry or microaggressions will be tolerated and whatever, but the look of the place would still drive the average person to stay far away for their own safety.
