I used an enby pride flag in league (which gives you a little flag trail behind your character) and someone said to me:
"What are your pronouns so I can insult you properly"

This looks less usable than court clothes, and that is saying a lot.
All due respect, but I’ve gotta disagree and vehemently. If the standard you’re measuring runway fashion against is the same standard you’re measuring Walmart jeans against, that’s basically the same as applying the same standards of quality to visual art versus literature. They’re two different things with two different goals. Off-the-rack clothing should be usable, yes, and a lot of it isn’t these days, especially for women, and that’s an issue. But it’s a separate issue.
Runway fashion isn’t for using. Runway fashion is more sculptural art than anything.
(Which is why it pisses me off so unbelievably much that fashion houses are now using AI to create runway looks. That’s like ‘the world’s biggest virtual-reality Cinnabon!’ it’s just pixels you can make it any size you want you don’t have to bake it I am not impressed. Anyone can digitally illustrate a physically-impossible dress. Now, that bitch who did the whole line of ‘glitch’ dresses where one was upside-down on the model and one was a foot to the left and one was clipping through her horizontally but all of them kept the shape of A Dress Someone Is Wearing? And actually made those dresses in meatspace? That’s fucking artwork.
Not to mention that I actually respect the people who take the time to digitally illustrate an impossible dress. It’s just a different art form than sculpture! Which is what these fashion houses are trying to claim theirs is! Which is why they’re a pack of spoiled douchebags and we should eat their kneecaps!)
But I digress. There are many important criticisms to be levelled at runway fashion, but ‘it’s impractical to wear in real life’ is not one that I find meaningful. It’s not meant to be worn in real life (except maybe to a one-night, once-in-a-lifetime awards show event). Yeah, it’s gonna look stupid and get in the way if you try to wear that out into the garden to pull weeds, because that’s not what it’s for, any more than the Elgin marbles are meant to be used as doorstops. It’s showing off what fabric can be made to do. It’s textile sculpture.
also like this is an important history lesson too
because court gowns/ball gowns/other historical formalwear? also not meant to be worn in real life
“oh I can’t imagine how dirty that train would get! how do you walk around in such intense panniers?! that ruff is so impractical!”
yeah, they’re meant for standing around looking pretty in specific, brief cirmustances. indoors usually, or outdoors with some barrier between Skirt and Ground
our ancestors weren’t stupid. situational clothing has always been a thing
ocd is not fucking destigmatized
"intrusive thought" gets thrown around by assholes talking about putting strainers on their heads or stepping on a leaf who in the next sentence will say "if your thoughts are about actually hurting people they should put you in a psych ward". compulsions and rituals get seen as proof you're "crazy". ocd insight CAN be delusional, even. pocd and sexual ocd is especially demonized, though even something as "harmless" (to others. not *us*) as contamination OCD is still mocked, belittled, and seen as a sign something is fundamentally wrong with you. I have seen people twice my age advocate for violence against anyone who thinks the way I've been forced by my mental illness to think since i was 6, maybe 7 years old.
OCD is not destigmatized.
