What is the difference between R MFA and /fa/ ?
Please post pictures of WAYWT archetypes from both boards to figure it out
reddit is confusing as fuck to me
One is gayer than the other. I'll leave you to guess which one.
>>10637890
[spoiler]there is none
>>10637893
Redditors usually say the same about 4chan "it's too confusing, who is who?, who's OP?" Etc
the two intersect pretty thorougly
>>10637890
Sometimes redditors got good fits. Faggots dont.
>>10637890
>What is the difference between R MFA and /fa/ ?
Culture is the only difference.
Mfa is more of a hugbox. More normie. Seems to be mainly engineering students who want to dress better to get girls.
Fa is harsher and has more mentally ill people. (Drug users, anorexic kids, narcissists) Less normies. Lots of contrarians. Id say there are more people here who know more about fashion beyond entry level shit than mfa
I'd assume the basic fits tend to overlap, because trends tend to come and go and both reddit and /fa/ notice them, but even though half the time /fa/ is cancerous, it doesn't feel like the up vote fishing/one-up-ing party that reddit is.
I honestly can't stand the whole idea of karma. It doesn't feel sincere
There they spit out whatever they can to get up votes, here we spit out stuff to get b8.
MFA has a lot of old people and normies who think wearing a sport coat and wolverines is the pinnacle of fashion.
Fah is a bunch of fags who dress in memes.
>>10637939
instead of upvotes, we have replies
they both work the same way in that they're metrics of how much attention you've garnered
this leads to attention-whoring in the forms of karma bait or shitposts, both of which suck in their own ways
>>10637945
this
MFA is reddit, so it's hated by most people here.
/fa/ is mostly edgy teens (see the survey) so they really like hating on things until they grow up, eventually.
MFA is populated by people who has more money and knowledge about clothing and fashion than /fa/ (yes). the mean age is much lower on /fa/.
it's actually quite strange that MFA is talked that much about on /fa/, when the /fa/ users are much closer to teen-MFA in age, budget, and style/fashion knowledge (slim to none).
it may be a controversial claim to say that MFA knows more about fashion/style in general, but MFA has plenty of knowledgeable users contributing - and /fa/ has nearly none left at all.
MFA waywt fits are usually made fun of here, but the reasons for this are mainly 1. cherrypicking bad fits 2. mocking good fits that are in a style most users on /fa/ don't like.
/fa/ waywts are currently attempts at modern streetwear, monochrome, pale, SLP, some high fashion (mostly meme brands), hints of sadboy aesthetic, and occasional failed gothninja resurrections.
MFA waywts mostly feature more "mature" styles like "dadcore", prep, plain dresswear, the now outdated lumberjack style, officewear, vintage clothing, "hipster clothes", some SLP, and classic and more discreet streetwear elements. also occasional high fashion brands and techwear.
/fa/: young. somewhat poor. experimental youth style.
mfa: older. a bit richer. more of a classic, safe, and "boring" style.

>>10637931
basically,
MFA is people praising ryan gosling, david beckham and james bond. Their ideal is the generic "ideal male" or "rich, fit, and dad" that won't ever change, and that is a man in his late 30s, really fit, w an unkempt thin beard, somewhat tanned, combed hair, no tats, and married. It's not bad, it's just really basic, the problem is that 95% os those people know nothing about fashion and most of them also don't have near the looks to pull it off, so you see a lot of cringey stuff.
FA is mostly a bunch of angry young people shitposting so they can fit in the effay secret senpai clubcore, waywt posters are terrible and try to mask that up by replying with memes. It's closer to fashion since there is experimentation and different styles, but it's shit. look up r/streetwear, it's basically the reddit FA experience
Just go on lookbook tbqh

>>10637931
I'm an engineering student.. and you're absolutely correct. There are always 3 or 4 guys in class who look textbook MFA.
>>10638048
it's quite hilarious to see how you get triggered by a longer-than-average post
>>10638056
yeah, that makes sense considering that most of the retards here don't have the capacity to read or write beyond 2 lines of text

It's really the same as the difference between the sites. Reddit is the most square place on the internet, and their general sensibility is reflected in their agreeably-rugged-engineer-kek fashion.
/fa/ is more interested in fashion and the, I don't know, choleric way of thinking comes from 4chan.
They discourage the use of downvotes in their WAYWT threads
>>10638603
här, ha en le upboat :-)
/fa/ is younger. /r/streetwear is more similar
>>10637946

I've been browsing 4chan for 6 years and have occasionally browsed leddit for 2.
It took me like a week to fully figure out 4chan's userface, and after 2 years I still haven't fully figured out reddit's.
The difference between /fa/ and r/mfa is that one is on 4chan and the other one is on Reddit.
Look through it yourself:

>peak /fa/ trip culture
Tripfag worship / cult of personality is absolute cancer.
Those years were pretty good for /fa/, but it certainly wasn't because of tripfags,
>>10637890
Both boards are full of kids who try to "fit in" while spending little money.
There are some really top-notch oldfags on /fa/, who know fashion and own lots of expensive clothing. Same can't be said for MFA based on their waywt.
Initial reaction from the info like the color post and the waywt threads MFA is for people who what to look like everyone else with basic brown and black jackets. Also there was shit like this that got upvoted. MFA seems to be for people who can't dress and want other people who can't dress to compliment them on it.
>>10639631
brah, fags here will compliment that
>>10639635
No they wouldn't
You're my least favorite trip btw
You should stay in your own threads
>>10639648
Oh boy
If you need actionable intelligence; if you need to get something done; if you need a no-shit answer to a no-shit question; if you want to feel normal for once in your life: go to reddit.
If you want some cheeky banter with the lads and to ensure that you will NEVER meet the girl of your dreams, stay on 4chan.
>>10637897
The one with all the trap threads
>>10639700
Or 4chan will tell you your clothes/face looks like shit. Reddit will compliment you on your choice of colors.
>>10639705
good job the joke was 4chan was gayer
>>10639710
4chan will tell you your clothes/face looks like shit even when it doesn't.
Only exception is extremely attractive males, for some reason.
>>10639714
>i am a victim of rape, i posted my best outfit and got made fun of.
>>10639722
I have never posted a photo of myself on the internet. I just call it as I see it, m8.
4chan is needlessly hostile, but it's all about the bantz brah, all about the bantz. Some people like that. Redditors don't.
>>10639710
>>10639714
Suppose you post an average, mediocre fit on both sites.
4chan will likely tell you it looks like shit, pointing out its mediocrity.
Reddit will likely compliment you on it, in effort to build solidarity in mediocrity.
Which do you think will actually drive you to try to improve?
>>10639648
costanza.jpg
>>10639731
The majority of people (read: normalfags) cannot deal with that, m8.
Haven't you spent even two seconds on a fat rights blog? They will happily show you the efficacy of shaming tactics. It works on certain types of people -- they're the exceptions. And those type of people enjoy 4chan's culture.
>>10639765
If there were a male equivalent of "basic bitch," he'd wear an outfit comprised of items in this infographic.

Wtf is wrong with that, assuming it fits well on a nice physique its better than most retards' way of dressing

It's like they think they can pull off these looks. Atleast 4chan thinspo/skincare/hair and face threads are all very popular. You come here to see if there's hope for you.

Same thing of who can actually pull these off
the stuff being posted now is essentially the same things we have on Young Stalin
>>10639749
I'm not talking about "shaming tactics." It's criticism - cold, harsh, anonymous, yet sometimes brutally honest, criticism.
Besides, an outfit is something that someone can (almost always) improve instantaneously (within the general realm of their budget, of course). Of course, improving a whole wardrobe takes time - but, little bits of honest criticism in WAYWT can help it in the right direction.
Personally, I try to point out what people are doing right, along with what they're doing wrong. But, if nothing really works, then posters should be honest about that.

Maybe, but the people here who know anything about fashion has got to be about one percent of the regular population.

fit on the right would be fine if the collar was tucked in, knot was smaller, hermes belt didn't exist, and those weren't cap toe shoes.

>what is cherry-picking
r/mfa has actual adults posting. However, most of them lack any interest in anything but smart casual looks.
/fa/ is filled with 18 year olds who not only lack taste, but also funds and confidence, which results in 99% of them wearing minimalist garbage, exclusively wear white, black and different shades of grey, call anything that slightly resembles a blazer dadcore and lack understand of basic tailoring and a shit ton of other things. I also think that this board houses WAY more illiterate niggers than reddit does. You can literally spot a black guy by his punctuation, use of lmao and his inability to capitalize letters.
styleforum used to be great but then most of the people realized that it was a shit page with only like 5% contributing and the rest bitching, which results in the most valuable posters leaving for other shores (or they simply stopped posting all together, who knows).
Pick your poison.

>>10654773
no comment on the equally bad if not worse >>10654720?
MFA is lots of people who don't know much about fashion, so they come to learn. as a result, there are tons of basic outfits (see the MFA uniform). Additionally, there's a lot less experimentation, hence the circlejerk over clarks desert boots, OCBDs, Red Wings, and americana. The voting system tends to make it a lot friendlier and supportive, which leads to some fairly mediocre fits and stagnation.
/fa/ is relatively more experimental, in that the outfits are often intended to emulate various internet trends and high fashion concepts, as opposed to just trying to 'dress better' or 'dress more maturely'. While the fashion over here is generally better imo, it's a lot less helpful and more incendiary.
>>10654729
That literally means nothing you fucking prick
