What does #7 even mean?

Something along the lines of soCiEty only pays attention to how beautiful the girl in the red dress on the runway looks but completely disregards the borderline slave work that went into making that dress in the first place, especially since the model is probably never gonna wear it again because wearing the same outfit twice is tacky in the fashion world for some reason.

Probably is supposed to address anti-fast-fashion themes against consumerism sites like temu and shein.

Why is everyone limiting this to Temu and Shein? This unethical practice is extremely widespread.

I also think it's disingenuous to say "sOciETy" in this context because it's not vague sentiment about the state of the world but demonstrably ideological in late stage consumer capitalism.

Because temu and shein are the poster children for unethical workplace practices especially when it comes to fashion items. Shein is literally associated with children sweatshops. Ik itā€™s a widespread thing but Iā€™m just using the two most obvious offenders as examples.

Also, I said ā€œsOciEtyā€ because this is a post on im14andthisisdeepā€¦ Iā€™m not taking it seriously. Iā€™m just trying to explain the picture in a funny way, not write up a sophisticated article about it.
