I'm in that weird inbetween space, at least age wise, where I vaguely remember heroin chic and cigarettes but mostly because of how my mom worried about those things affecting me. While I'm glad we've toned PC down a tad, it also scares me a little how we're back to praising EDs. I guess my mom was right to worry about me, because my body image has already taken a huge hit since we started cosplaying the 2000s online...

MY CULTURE IS NOT YOUR COSTUME, HUNNY. (Also, agree with you on all of THIS, what else is new, I always do)

This is a really interesting take. I never considered the fact that it coincides with clean girl aesthetic being on its way out.

Have you learned about the euphemism treadmill? I feel like it ties in really well with the moral fatigue.

As a graduate of multiple all-girls Catholic schools: that’s gonna be a no from me dog.
