I’m mildly terrified at where you would wear a shirt with cartoon pedophilia, cartoon furry sex, and beastiality on it and not attract unpleasant attention.

I guess if you were in a situation where you had to seduce Shadman, that would be appropriate shirt to wear.

But if I was in that situation I would sooner jump in front of a moving train.

I had someone come into my store yesterday wearing this and I was so flabbergasted to see it in person that I kept checking to make sure I was seeing it right. Pretty sure the girl wearing it thought I was looking at her chest, but I just found it really odd that someone who looked like Tumblr personified was wearing a shirt featuring a logo modeled after the Nazi eagle.
it's been a hot minute since i've seen somebody in one of these but yeah it always cracks me up. You can't sell a teapot that kind of looks like Hitler but you can sell Boy London shirts

and rich international students. (mostly chinese)
Yup yup yup, 99% of the people I've seen in them are chinese exchange. Here's the new thing they're wearing around here:
not cringe and would love one but i only see small chinese girls with them dissuading me from buying it

Sometimes, I think the Chinese are aware and still sincerely like it.
yeah asia has a weird fixation with it

I've only ever seen Asian international students wear this stuff

How about Grandma's stanky-ass satin pillow that can never be washed? Boxy is in as you contemplate how we have the gall to charge $49 for the most unflattering dress ever!

*To be fair not all of Loralette's stuff is terrible (but maybe over-priced) but when they miss the mark they tend to crash through a few layers of the Earth as well.

She looks like one of the plush pigs from Luna Slater's moldy hoard.

If you don't want to wear this, you are clearly missing out.

Weird duck dress gets my vote.

I like the two-sided shoes. They have the potential to confuse innocent bystanders.

Say what you want, but at least storage will not be an issue if you are literally your own purse.

I wouldn't mind being my own purse, to be honest.

All the retro Nickelodeon shit that's out now. I thought Disney crap did a good enough job of saying "Hi, I'm a gigantic man/womanchild who never learned how to let the fuck go!".
I feel like the attitude that goes with it plays a huge part. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with wanting to buy retro stuff, because some of it is neat and might be fun to have around the house. It's when the retro stuff gets that bizarre cult following of people who just...as you said, "Hi, I'm a gigantic man/womanchild who never learned how to let the fuck go!"

I agree about the whole attitude thing. Retro stuff tends to attract hipsters and other dodgy personality types. But that doesn't mean that everyone who wears it is in that crowd, so they shouldn't be lumped in with the others.

So instead of growing a Slaton forehead it's some sort of weird armpit tumor?

That being said, I do kind of like her sunglasses.
