SHEIN is back at it again, Loyal Theorists. If you remember from our previous episode we learned that the fast fashion brand STOLE from popular KZbinr Cassey Ho (Blogilates). But things just got WORSE. Not only did they steal from Cassey again, but they also got involved in a Rico lawsuit and earned BAD press from social media influencers. Can SHEIN survive this?

Just wanna notice: stop buying from shady shops doesnt help freeing labor. Our bigger companies use asian labor too, for example when my mom wws 14-16 she worked for adidas and nikey- basically we'll never be able to stop labor, the only way we can help workers is to pay them more.

[@ElusiveTy]

I'd certainly hope that no one is trying to 'stop labour'. There's not an issue with labour (we provide labour just by working anywhere), it's the kind of labour that's the problem. The thing is, increasing wages for those workers will increase the end product price. For anyone that supports paying those labourers more money, the way you can support that is by buying products from companies that already do, which will already have more expensive products. It's hard to know which companies to support and avoid but there are some outliers that are absolutely horrible to be purchasing from like Temu, Wish, and SHEIN.

[@Brodragon2225]

@@ElusiveTy why don't buying from influencer

[@katinkaraab1964]

The most effective way to force your will onto a company is by boycotting them. Look at BP. If every single person in Europe or america would stop buying from them now, they would change so fast, you wouldn't believe it. As a consumer you have power. If you choose to go to a pup full of racists than you are supporting racism. If you are buying from brands like shein, you are directly supporting enslavement. You are responsible for your choices.

due to increased awareness about companies like Shein (as well as other fast fashion brands) i actually took up learning to sew, crochet, and embroider simply so i can have cute clothes that i want but have them last longer and be more environmentally conscience. i even reuse scraps as much as i can to lower my personal fabric waste.

[@jupiterhedgepeth327]

That is a great idea, it feels like the only ways to get clothes is either fast fashion like Walmart and SheIn which are made by sweatshops and are cheaper or expensive clothes or wear someone's used donated clothes. Remember the episode on how we can't sterilize clothes

[@alexkass5548]

@@jupiterhedgepeth327 Yes i remember that episode and it changed my feelings towards thrifting. I feel like if you prefer thrifting still go for it but for me persoanlly id rather do it my way cause i also get to learn how to maintain my clothes, if my pants get ripped i can fix it now without it looking too obvious. it's kind of an investment at first (cheaper sewing machine is still $75 plus scissors, measuring tapes, seam ripper ect.) but in the long run im spending less on new clothes.

[@foxbuns]

[@megplaysgames]

At my school learning about sweatshops was part of the curriculum, and we were taught about how Nike are one of the biggest users of sweatshops in the world. We had to play a simulation of a sweathsop worker's life.

I wanna see a style theory video on the best way to clean your ears. I've seen a few of your cleaning videos, and I want y'all to go in-depth on why sticking cotton swabs in your ears is bad, how you can properly clean your ears at home, is paying for a professional ear flushing worth it? Etc.

[@ST-xw3cv]

Cleaning your ears is safe. If q tips weren't safe, they wouldn't be sold. Doctors just want you to have wax build up so you have to give them money and get them to remove it. They love peddling antibiotics, too, and not cleaning your ears is how you get infections. You don't need doctors for 90% of things, they just want money.

I’m from a very poor family who struggle with money and every 2-3 years I buy from shein just so I have something that’s not outdated :(

@@jackietheclown I use Vinted, but even if a item is £1, postage and buyer protection ontop makes it like £6- most things in my size aren’t what I like(I’m into cute, frilly, ruffles) I like chairty shops as well but again my size makes it difficult. The other day it had a really cute pink cardigan with light pink hearts and it was so cute but the size was only small.

​@@moonlighteditsofficial3435You have thrifting, outlets and charity projects where they sell donated 2nd hand clothes at riddiculously low prices (mostly to found other projects to help the community).

[@FluffyxxPaws]

I saw a video from the seller pwuffy and there was a comment that said “why buy your expensive stuff when I could buy it cheaper from shien.” And pwuffy said that shein would sadly steal ideas from small businesses. And also just steal clothing ideas. I never trusted shien when it got popular..

[@Marshmellow_Cat]

I don't like this but it's so cheap... There's this one swimsuit for ages 5-12 it's so stretchy, and this phone case, and those room decorations 😢 I'm gonna have to stop shopping there...

[@slabslayb]

Please stop, think about if you really need it before buying things, think about what's gonna happen to it in three months, think about how you could save money for important things

I imagine their shell companies are also used to not be responsible for shady labor. Would have been cool to see that looked into. Clothes gotta be made somewhere

[@vixxcelacea2778]

This. A lot of companies use outsource company hires in order to side step actually being responsible. In some cases, they are also lied to or it's a case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing situation. Reputable company hires another company. That company hires another and that one hires another who doesn't give a toss about local labor laws and then they hire another for sourcing of materials.

[@deannal.newton9772]

I always thought that in order to stop SHEIN was to not shop from there.

[@rkvkydqf]

Exactly. Just not buying from them and trying to find a legal case against them would be all be can do. Shein being on NYSE wouldn't do anything but fill the owner's pockets.

[@Adelicousbottleosyrup]

Man I sure do hate fast fashion. I’m no fashionista, but not even I can think of a reason you would do it. It’s a waste of money, someone’s out there breaking their hands just for you to wear a weekly outfit you only wear once. Not even the girls in my school do it

[@smp1041]

10:02 what was sexist about that ad. English isn't my first language so i probably didn't understand what it was.

[@RyluRocky]

It wasn’t, more likely it had to do with “Body Acceptance” (Anti-Skinny) Activists upset with the fact that the ad portrayed working out and getting skinnier as healthier and life-changing. So sexism was just a mask for cancelling it.
