    What?

    The term is not used as a positive thing to be aspired to, but as a negative thing to avoid. At least in any conversation I have observed. It being mentioned more shows that awareness is increasing and people are making an effort.

    But why did this need to be explained to YOU? You displayed yourself as a warrior for this cause, but then are completely oblivious to one of its main developments of the recent years? If you wanna fight for such a cause, you should probably study it first.

      What on Earth? Is your position actually “because people use the term fast fashion” it means people very much have an opinion they simply refuse to act on?"

      I’m not in any way sure what point you’re trying to make.

      It’s like saying that despite hosting a pig roast most years and BBQ meat all the time, I actually support vegetarianism because sometimes I note that boy, there’s a lot of cruelty in the production of my food.

      Having an opinion and not acting on it doesn’t count for anything.

      Edit: At least in the comic, the person is honest. Your approach seems to be “well, as long as I occasionally complain, I’ve done my duty!” I am sure the children who occasionally burn to death making your clothes take great comfort as they asphyxiate because you sometimes feel bad. Not bad enough to change your habits or anything but come on, what are we to do? Wear out of date clothes? UGH!

        You’re good with accusing, but not good with understanding. I never said I buy fast fashion, and people avoiding raising awareness about and then avoiding fast fashion SHOULD be in line with your goals if you’re not a hypocrite.

        But I more and more get the feeling that you’re one of those people only cosplaying a cause to make themselves look good.

        Go ahead, make another baseless accusation, cosplayer.
