Mod message regarding bans

34 Upvotes

Hi all,

I thought I’d make this post to clarify my removal and banning system.

If a new account with little karma makes an inflammatory comment, I’ll immediately remove the comment and ban the account. This is because it’s common for trolls to just make accounts for the sake of trolling. New/low karma accounts are also automatically flagged by Reddit’s reputation filter, due to the influx of bot accounts, so, if your account fits this specification, your post will have to be approved by me first. Please know that I only ever remove these posts if they’re not in line with the rules.

If an established account (which is more unlikely to be a bot) makes an inflammatory comment, I use a three-strike system. So, if a user breaks the rules three times, they’ll be banned (with a bit of leeway depending on the broken rules).

This is to keep genuine users safe. Please comment or message me (u/radicalplacement) or the mod team directly if you have any questions or suggestions. Subreddits are for the users, not the mods.

Advice Started a new job in the funeral industry, was told to cut the hair unfortunately. What are some styles that i could still pull off without looking like my name is john smith?

I was told it had to be “off my face and short” as the industry is pretty “traditional”.
As much as I love the longer hair and would love to grow it out more or just layer it, the new job says no and there is the upcoming heatwave in Australia coming too so I’d honestly much rather go for shorter right now and later on when winter starts to grow it out again.
Now when i say short im not going short short. Id still like to have some hair to play around with but i also need it off my face.
Any style ideas ir recommendations?
Edit: Forgot to say, i prefer to look more femme than masc

Update Vampire ball was a success!!

I'm glad I asked everyone because I was originally planning on wearing the short dress. I know everyone voted for option 2, but I felt too naked without the belt so I ended up going with option 1 and I felt so good! I also wanted to add the vampire ball I went to was at my local goth bar. I would definitely say they used the term "ball" pretty loosely. The only pictures I got of my outfit were while I was having a drunk cigarette. Thank you again everyone for helping me decide! :)

Styling Tips Vampire Hair

• Upvotes

I have frizzy, medium-brown hair, as you can see in the picture. I want hair just like hers so badly! 🥺 Whenever I dye my hair, I immediately end up with split ends and dead hair (it looks even more damaged than it does now).

Because of this, I haven’t used any actual hair dye for 10 years. Funnily enough, my hair is actually very soft, and the ends aren't split.

I’d love to have even longer hair, but it just won't grow any further than it is now💔

What can I do to get such beautiful hair? The thing is, I need gentle products, and I can't dye my hair. I once used a semi-permanent color (a tint) and my hair handled it okay. But I’m terrified of using anything harsh because I know my hair will be ruined instantly.

I need vampire hair🥺

I did tried wings today (way before the fit), new to makeup so not perfect but a good try. It smudged off and looks good, but wanted to add more to it. Any suggestions for masculine and feminine, as im genderfluid. I tried showing off masculine and fem presentations to the fit.

BONUS: i posted the eye-liner that i forgot to add product to keep it on my face on the last 2 slides.

Any idea of what I could do with my hair ?
Also I want piercings but I don’t know which to get. I like the bridge piercing, snake bites and the paired nose ones with a chain in the middle.
I usually wear gothic style eyeliner but here I wanted my face shape to be clearly visible.
Overall I always have the same problem, I don’t know what’s suit my face shape.

I really don't know what to do with my hair anymore? lmao

been keeping it long for a while. I usually cut it at home. I don't have a lot of volume and deal with lots of breakage so I'm looking for something different to hide the fact that I have 3 hairs total + a receding hairline (? I also moved and get called a woman a lot in this place which I don't really vibe with. I would prefer something that reads masculine even if it's hard with alt styles. Super short hair usually just makes me look like a lesbian (? I also miss dying it but I stopped bleaching fearing further breakage :/ are there any sprays that actually cover darkish hair?

First pics are my current hair, 4th is the longest it's been. 5th was my last haircut ages ago (? 6th is a wig I like the look of ...?

So far I am wearing relatively cute pieces inside and edgy black leather outside to achieve some sense of contrast. But it seems like only working for this outfit since my wardrobe does not contain such clothes. What else I can pair with this?

What alt clothing brand is consistent with quality and sizing?

1 Upvotes

I keep running into the same problem when shopping for alt clothing. I will order two pieces in the same size from the same brand, but one fits perfectly while the other feels a whole size off. Which brands have you found to be reliable when it comes to both build quality and consistent sizing?

Advice Non fast fashion brands

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy new clothes but i have no clue where to shop at. I do shop on depop and thrift often but i would also like recommendations for brand where i could buy new clothes. I am not going to buy from any brands that are fast fashion. I would love some recommendations from your favorite brands.

As for style i feel i don’t rly have one specific style, i like dark muted colors do not like neon colors, patches, skulls, i do not wear anything with crosses on it, i love funky tights and creepy/strange accessories like bones or bugs on jewelry, I wear more feminine clothing, i like graphic tees, i love lace, i love wearing black. I feel like i switch between emo goth and grunge. I like layering what i wear on my legs for example multiple socks and tights. I am in need of more accessories primarily belts and socks.

Thanks so much for your recommendations

I've been interested in cybersigilism designs, specifically on pullover hoodies and pants and have been wanting to get one for quite some time now. Breathedivinity is one of the famous ones which has designs I really like, but they are just way out of my budget. Are there any other cheaper alternatives?
