A video by Harajuku Pop TV on nowadays Yamikawaii, which has long abandoned pastel accents and medical motifs for an overall edginess. The subtitles aren't perfect but it still should be easy to understand.

yall i just saw this reel of a chinese menhera girl who wears a lot of the fashion elements yeah
it got to the wrong side of instagram
and now its all "i like yamikawaii but this feels like appropriating sick peoples struggles" "uhm guys she doesnt speak for us, this gives menheras a bad look we dont think its okay to pretend to have something you dont!!!" "u can wear yamikawaii but why do u wanna act sick so bad and steal resources"
reader, what do u think it was that set her apart from westerners perceptions of menhera that warrants accusations of trying to fake illnesses and stealing things and giving menhera a bad name?? was she drawing on fake sh scars and passing them off as real? was she spreading misinfo ab real illnesses? was she obviously faking a seizure or tic or smth?
no. reader. she was wearing one of those DIY menhera accessories that look like medical gas masks. with ribbons and studs and shit. wasnt even trying to pass it off as real, not even remotely. and its been one of the most popular accessories/DIY decor trends for like 15 years in menhera.
and the western "menheras" think thats problematic. that its problematic to have accessories and clothes that resemble medical equipment... in menhera. yknow. the subculture that pioneered a fashion meant to challenge/parody the "but... you dont LOOK sick" bullshit and to vent/express urself as an ill person via medical iconography and vent art.
westerners discovering japanese art movements was a mistake i cant wait for teens to grow out of their weeb phases and leave actual members of the subcultures alone stop tiktokifying ur brains
