  • Same, sort of. For me it varies, some is supposed to be a status symbol and that I find lame.

    But some are signals about a person; Bass Pro, fisherman; Backwoods, down to smoke; Burton, snowboarder; Venture, skateboarder; etc. These I see more as a band shirt, like “hey I like that thing/band too, wanna hang out?” These I actually like, they can be informative.

    And some are just free shirts from work itself, vendors to your work, events, etc. Maybe they just got off and are still in “uniform” (if you can call a company t-shirt a uniform lmao), maybe their job sells a lot of Kawasaki and they sent shirts to the dealership they work at, this falls more into the informative category and indicate possible hobbies. Same with the event shirts, it’s more about a memory of the event, it indicates possible hobbies like running or biking, and hell a free shirt is a free shirt.

    Hell even the status symbol shirts, I guess do the same thing in signaling something about a person, but imo it signals that

    you’re vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.









  • I mostly agree with this, but apparently Leto is a giant worm was raping or assaulting people or something. While I do think “cancel culture” or whatever is dumb and believe separating art from the artists is an ok thing to do as a consumer, blacklisting someone from the industry for rape/SA is just about the only time I’m in full agreeance with “canceling.” Can’t be having that type of shit, idec if a Trump supporting actor gets work tbh but assault is a step too far. Liking things he was in prior is one thing, continuing to make workplaces unsafe by employing him is another.

    As for consumers, I think they should be free to watch what they want and boycott what they want with impunity and no judgement (besides maybe taste lol), especially if they pirate. Still liking a thing you grew up loving even after something shady comes out does not mean you support the shady thing, especially if you’re not literally supporting them monetarily.

    (I also fucking hate Thirty Suckents to Mars and he should be punished for making bad music.)

    TC afaik isn’t dangerous in the same sense, he’s just a face of a cult. Miscavige is the really dangerous one there and he should probably be shot, but TC just makes cheesy movies and has sex with fish. As such I don’t think there’d be a problem employing him the same as it is for Leto, but also I’m personally not watching his garbage, whether you do or not should be left to you (and I won’t judge, other than maybe your taste in movies! Lol)
