Okay so today we will be talking about ethical shopping, specifically for fashion so today we are going over, what is fast fashion, why would you want to buy from ethical sources, why is it okay to buy from fast fashion and where to buy if you want to shop ethically so lets get into that
What is fast fashion?
ast fashion is cheap articles of clothing made at an increasingly fast rate. Now, just because their cheap, does this specifically mean that the clothing is badly made? Well, not always, but most of the time the quality control is badly managed and so the clothing is not always the best quality. But some people don’t really care about the quality of clothing, they just want cute clothing, now I’m not going to tell you all the reasons you shouldn’t buy from fast fashion but instead all the solutions of what you could instead do if you’d like to have higher quality clothing. lets go onto that section.
Why would you want to buy from ethical sources?
What are some reasons that you would want to buy from ethical sources? Well firstly, as stated before, the quality control will be better therefore you will get better textures, less broken/ prone to breaking items and an article of clothing that will more likely match the picture you expected to get when buying. So generally it’s for you to buy clothing that you’ll wear for longer, more and for comfortability. But thats just some reasons that it would be better for you, does it help anyone else when you buy ethically? Well for one, it helps the planets, ethical brands try their best to be free of animal cruelty and to be environmentally friendly so that the planet we live on stays inhabitable. Another reason is most ethical brands also will not put their workers, and or co-workers in dangerous working conditions and give them lower then minimum wages. Finally, most ethical brands also have ethical views/ mindsets, such as:
Not stealing from artist and even supporting artist by paying them for their time and or collaborating with them by sponsoring them
they might be pro equality by supporting lgbt+, BLM and or research foundations on making the world for minorities a better place
speaks out against injustice by either spreading the word or helping other financially
These are just a few reason of why you might want to support ethical businesses
Why is it okay to buy from fast fashion?
Not everyone can afford ethical fashion, does this mean they shouldn’t buy from cheaper fashion brands that have cute clothing, No! Everyone deserves to feel cute no matter what their financial status is, just don’t do anything that is hurting you for example, if you buy forma makeup company and they come out later saying that their products have given peoples skin rashes and or any other bad reactions, don’t use the makeup. Your health comes first before anything else, yes you deserve to feel cute. But don’t put your physical health or any health for that matter, in danger in the name of beauty. So is it right or correct to buy from fast fashion brands, whos really to say? I for one am not that person to make a decision on something that is not so black and white. Also a lot of fast fashion brands have more sizes being more accesible to plus size people, again, everyone deserves to be cute and if you cannot find your size in an ethical brand. do whats best for you to be your most authentic self. But what about all the people who have taken this into factor and want to stop buying fast fashion and want to buy ehticaly but don’t know where to start? That's what the next section will then cover

You inferior worms who care about morals and ethics!
I have massacred billions of people around the world in my head hundreds of billions of times, and I have also massacred billions of humans hundreds of times in the game!
And I'm slaughtering a lot of humans in my novels and enjoying it!
Ben Chifley used to say, 'Always make your decisions on moral grounds, and the details will fall into place.' Thus, 'if you go down, you go down on something you believe in.'

omg! you are a dirty thief! you are STeaLInG! GIVE CREDIT TO THE ARTIST OR DIE!
I don’t care if you are suicidal, bedridden, dying, having seizures daily just lost your dog and your best friend on the same day! you are sh*t! how dare you post something that brings you and your suicidal friends a tiny spark of joy in this capitalist hellish dirty cold existence!
I don’t CARE if you don’t know how to reverse search!
How to Do a Reverse Image Search (Desktop and Mobile)
I don’t CARE that you found it on a site that ALSO didn’t site the source/ give credit to the artist! -I only wanna harass YOU!
I don’t CARE that you have lost almost everything and everyone dear to you and posting things that make you happy is one of the few ways you feel you can safely connect with people!
I don’t CARE that you were an ACTUAL slave for 30 years alone locked in a small dark room told if you tried to escape your own fake “mom” would slit your throat while you slept.
I don’t CARE that evil women was never brought to justice, and is walking free while you are now stuck in a wheelchair from the severe abuse at age 33 - I will never stand up for people who ACTUALLY are being DIRECTLY PHYSICALLY harmed by abusers.
Instead i WILL try to make strangers online I don’t even know feel bad about appreciating artist’s work ; when It’s not even my artwork, I don’t even know this artist.
All I know is that I’ll feel like I’m self- righteously fighting for someone who may or may not want me to b*tch about pig-dog capitalist copy write issue about their art.

*btw some artist’s might actually wish you would give them credit for a bit of their life’s work / the artist may actually go hungry / lose their home if you don’t give credit / help them out by giving credit
-but I KNOW life can be so stressful and tiring you just wanna share cool things; I get it, just do what you can, when you can to help yourself and others plz <3
*btw I’m a professional artist
*btw yes TRY to credit artist / don’t share re/blog if the artist asks to not share <3
*btw be kind and considerate and assume everyone you criticize online is very ignorant, would love a kind random teacher to show them the ropes and one bad word away from committing suicide o.k.?
