“What Was The Worst Trend That Has Ever Existed?” (30 Replies)

I completely understand why little girls want to dress up nice, wear make-up and act very adult. That's a normal thing for kids. What ISN'T normal is having them do that and parade in front of other adults who judge them and have other dubious reasons for being there..

Ah yes, let’s put little girls in a show where they can put on dresses and makeup so we can sexualize them. Seriously who thought this was a good idea?

Yes. Oh please ban this kind of event. Just the think of it

Went to a convention for a game I played online once. The other groups booked that weekend were a child beauty pageant, a frat get together, and a Swingers convention. It was very interesting!

From what I have observed the Venn diagram between the parents/promoters doing these and those screaming about drag queen story hours is an almost exact circle.

When my brother and his wife found out the gender of their baby they mailed us a gender reveal thingy. It was a rubber duck with a bath bomb attached. Whatever color the water turned was the gender. It wasnt a big party and it was mostly just funny

I actually like gender reveal parties as long as you clean up after yourself and don't start a fire

ALL gender reveals are bad!

The one I heard about that made me laugh was someone whose family wanted a gender reveal. So they had 2 jars with colored confetti. 1 blue and 1 pink. the jar of the gender had 100 pieces of confetti while the other had 99. I think the guests had to count like 3 times and were so over it by the end lol

These things tend to be full of outdated stereotypes. Not a fan; especially not when they set things on fire or create a deadly pipe bomb and lose a grandmother in the process

Nothing says feminine like a woman who is in constant pain ::eyeroll::

Funny how "feminine" and "can't run away from possessive men" overlap.

Please search for pictures of this on the internet. I can't understand, how is that more feminine cause it looks awful!

Awful practice that was

Is this still a thing? I thought it was banned.

I remember seeing dudes that wore their pants/shorts waistband so low they had to hold them up by the belt hoops to walk. Why anyone thought this trend was cool or remotely attractive I'll never understand.

I may be wrong but I heard this originated from people being released from jail who had their belts and shoe laces removed for security reasons. I'm sure she now knowledgeable panda will correct me if necessary.

It's funny that even because a fashion statement. For what I know, men do that when they are in jail to let other men know they can be butt buddies.

This looks terrible!

Yes. Please. Stop this.

OCD is another one, no it doesn’t mean that you’re fastidious about cleaning or like things put away. It’s a disabling condition where to the person living with it if certain patterns or sequences aren’t completed correctly something terrible will happen eg my loved one will die.

As someone with diagnosed complex PTSD, it has become painful to hear people throw the word(s) trauma and traumatized around. Some things are just upsetting, not traumatizing.

Also, saying everything is toxic or abusive, or encouraging people to go 'no contact' with family just because they disagree about something (obviously apart from cases of REAL abuse)

I was accused of being bipolar. I don't have a short temper. It takes a long time for things to pile up before I actually get angry about anything. Basically, I'm over here being patient and then something else happens and I become a volcano.

This! I am so sick of plain old a******s being called "narcissists." Narcissistic personality disorder is an actual clinical condition and it's fairly uncommon. Your parents weren't "narcissists." They were jerks. Selfish jerks. And they didn't gaslight you. They tried to force their point of view on you. Which is very different from your own.
