Yesterday's Nobodies

Who I went into Eternals expecting to love:

with a name like ikaris, i really should’ve seen that ending coming like… it was right there all along, ya dumb bitch

Marvel was so sexy for this

:(

I agree with the message but?! this is tone deaf coming from one of the elitist, most prestigious fashion events in the world. you are rich to even be invited, an event where the ticket is literally $30,000.... I’m gonna eat YOU

None of you people understand the actual reality of how much the ultra-rich hoard. Aoc is not even a blip on the radar of rich. Aoc grew up poor in the bronx and continued to work as a bartender while she was on the campaing trail.

Also, one of Ocasio-Cortez's big things is buying from artists/fashion designers who are involved in their community and actively promote culture that is often left behind in fast fashion (like when y'all slammed her for that bag). The dress was made by Aurora James. Now, I don't know SHIT about fashion but uuuuh, knew I heard the name somewhere. Here's just the first paragraph of her wiki article. By all means, go read the rest.

Additionally, she didn't pay for the ticket or the dress. The designer made the dress, bought the ticket, and invited her to attend wearing the dress. The met gala is basically an event where celebrities become billboards for designers. AOC showed up to an event full of filthy rich people wearing a dress by an activist designer that says "tax the rich" on it.
