Designer clothing ($500 jeans!? No fkn way!!)
Star Wars & Avatar (never watched either)
The newest gadgets/phones/watches etc
Disney in general. Never been big on much of it.

Trends. Never paid much attention to them, it always seemed silly to do things or pretend to like things just because other people are doing it.

Lying. a million excuses for it, but I'll never see why doing it casually is ever a good thing.

Phones that cost as much as rent.

Those smeary looking filters people use on their photos.

Etc.

Instagram. I'll never get the fuss of being envious at others' artificially crafted "perfect" life.

Twitter too, even before Musk's acquisition. Now it's pretty much a fascist cesspool.

Everyone preaches about these, but they all will vote & sign laws that takes them all away very slowly.

Trust me a brief (~3 months) period living as a local in Russia or China would make you instantly change your mind about those

Breasts.

Of course I get that they can be appealing and pleasurable, but the [i]fanatical obsession[/i] by so many seems mental to me.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Magenta em, interesting word, fanatical. I never thought of it that way!

cambridge dictionary:
extremely interested in something, to a degree that some people find unreasonable

mirriam webster:
: marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion

collins:
f you describe someone as fanatical, you disapprove of them because you consider their behavior or opinions to be very extreme.
[disapproval]
He is a fanatical fan of Mozart.
Synonyms: obsessive, burning, wild, mad More Synonyms of fanatical
Guardian · 56-60, M
@Magenta its probably no different then some people's fanatical obsession with D size!

@samueltyler2 Maybe because it's so repetitive and exaggerated on social media it makes it seem that way.

Tiktok. I'm too old to get it.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@basilfawlty89 Even if it came out when I was younger I'd have dismissed it as cringe and passed on tbh
