[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m over this dumb DCUM trend of hateful threads where the whole purpose is to be nasty. [/quote]

I agree, but whenever I come across these threads I think of a woman I used to know. She was the biggest amateur fashion and beauty critic I've ever met -- she frequently brought up fashion trends just to trash them or make fun of people for wearing them. I remember once being out with her and a couple friends and seeing a woman walking by in an outfit I really liked. I said "oooh, I love what that woman is wearing, do you think it would be weird to take a pic so I can google it all later?" I mostly said it as a joke (I didn't actually photograph this woman though I still remember her outfit) but I meant the compliment. Meanwhile, Ms. Fashion Critic immediately ripped into me, saying stuff like "I guess you could buy that outfit, if you wanted to look ridiculous," and then detailing everything she thought was wrong with it. It was such an over the top response. Most people, even if they didn't like the outfit, would just say... nothing. At most, a very opinionated person would say "huh, that's not my thing." But this woman went full Joan Rivers on it. It was very aggressive.

But here's the thing: she was terribly dressed. Like she never once wore an outfit I'd call flattering or fashionable. She frequently wore clothes that were at least a size too small, so her pants were always riding down and her shirts riding up. She'd pair mustard yellow with bright purple. Like I'm too live and let live to have ever actually commented on her clothes, but I can't imagine someone less qualified to be a fashion critic.

So that's who I think of when I see the comments on this website. I have no idea if it's lack of self awareness or insecurity, but I don't think the people angrily criticizing every trend and making fun of other women for wearing clothes they like and feel good in is always particularly chic or polished. Which is why I'd never take the criticism of weirdos on this site seriously. Many of them are probably at home wearing weirdly clashing, too tight clothes, thinking they know something we don't.

You have just described the most egregious offender on this forum, the self-appointed “fashion critic” who writes long screeds on the Trump women thread.  She is absolutely always right (in her mind) about every fashion  choice and she will grossly overreact to even the slightest thing she considers an infraction.   And if anyone dares to disagree with her, watch out.  She doesn’t accept dissent.

Officious, hateful, and pathetic. [/quote]

I am often on that thread and I don’t know who you are talking about.  It’s mostly a silly thread with the exception of Ushabot.[/quote]

:lol:  Anyone who has visited that thread knows exactly who the PP is talking about.

I have been a faithful reader of that thread since day 1, and I have no idea who PP is talking about. Over the years, there have been many different folks posting, and lots of different viewpoints expressed.  Some are quite knowledeable in explaining why something looks good or doesn't.  Sometimes it's silly, sometimes its snarky, sometimes its outright hilarious or insightful -- in all, I think it's been the gift that keeps on giving.  [/quote]

I've cycled into and out of that thread.  The snark and rudeness isn't my cup of tea and I usually regret bothering with it.[/quote]

Did you think a thread called “The Trump Women and their Fashion Mishaps” was going to be… polite commentary about how much people like them?  Maybe this one is on you.[/quote]

Um… it’s a fashion thread on the fashion forum.  Not interested in whether people “like them” personally or not.  Glad to see political commentary being deleted.  [/quote]

Are you the killjoy who reports half of the posts?  Yes, please stay off the thread for the sake of your mental health.  [/quote]
