  • The Fashion Expert Twitter Loves to Hate

    The Fashion Expert Twitter Loves to Hate
    Nov 9 2024
    Candice Lim is joined by Slate’s business and tech writer Nitish Pahwa, to discuss the internet history of Derek Guy, better known as @DieWorkwear on Twitter. Back in 2022, Elon Musk acquired Twitter, leading to major consequences for everyone’s timelines. One of those consequences was the unexpected boosting of Derek Guy, which led to his Twitter account reaching more than 1 million followers. Pahwa interviewed Guy back in 2023, and he returns to ICYMI to talk about Guy’s persona on the phone vs. online, and how the menswear pundit capitalized on becoming the Twitter guy we love to hate.

just when I was starting to like them

this episode left me feeling annoyed. "all the words are Black/LGBT words. it's hard to trace the actual origin of words and we only know 1 for sure has a documented Black origin. but all the words are Black/LGBT words."
"it's cringe that they used cringe. I can't believe how cringe it is. isn't it so cringe?" 😒
and the solution to using the current internet vocabulary without commuting cultural appropriation: give money to black people and be Bruno Mars.
