Page 2 | WTF is this on Etsy!

Seen similar post about this a while back on Amazon. Why do people buy these garments? Why is this accepted - do women think it's cool? Do they think they'll pull wearing a top like this? Why, when it says 'tits' is there a man modelling it? AIBU to think this shit should not be sold anywhere in 2021?

@VenusTiger

The point I'm trying to make is, if you didn't know the Adam Ant connection (either way it doesn't matter), why is this okay to have 'beat me' - basically treat me like a come rag? I'm shocked at some of these replies tbh.

But that is some people's consensual sex life. Not mine, I hasten to add, as I would run a mile from that sort of thing. It is for some people though.

@knittingaddict

Do you think the tshirt reflects the wearers sex life?

I wouldn't wear it, but I think you're reading too much into it op.

Well yes, you're going to be okay with a slogan on a tshirt to wear it aren't you? If it said 'I hate animals' and you loved animals, you wouldn't wear it would you? I just don't understand MN sometimes - there are many threads about porn or violent sex but this is okay? It's an advert.

I don’t think it’s a tasteful shirt. I wouldn’t wear it. But equally I don’t care enough about it to get upset. It’s an obscure etsy listing of a replica T-shirt that a singer wore in the 80s, they’re not on display in per una. You could probably find all sorts of nasty clothing online if you search for it.

Presumably because it's an icon of punk in the UK. It was created by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm MacLaren

I imagine it's a fairly niche product that's only worn to certain clubs. Certainly I can't say I've ever seen anyone wearing one except in photos from 50 years ago.

@Sparklesocks fair enough I suppose. Thing is, I was searching for a particular tshirt (a purple one) so I've no idea why this came up - maybe it's a promoted item who knows.

I bought one of these years ago and wore it as a pj shirt (pre kids may I add, wouldn't wander about the house in it in front of children). I'm a huge Adam Ant fan. Think I binned it when having a sort out, but honestly to me it was just a shirt I bought because I like Adam Ant.

EverybodyIsInteresting · 27/08/2021 20:42

Most probably. Although not necessarily because it reflects how they feel about their own life.

And if you find it so objectionable, if you see something wearing one, you'll know to avoid them. So that's a plus!

loved Adam and the Ants 🎶🎼

LynetteScavo · 27/08/2021 21:01

Haha, it's not the kind of thing most people wear down the street.

Men have tits

MyPatronusIsACat · 27/08/2021 21:06

'Originally from Adam Ant' or not, it's fucking foul. YANBU @VenusTiger And ignore anyone saying you're precious or uptight because you find this vile.

I'm sick of this mindset, that you're some kind of precious little snowflake if you find nasty shit like this horrible.

Starstar7 · 27/08/2021 21:15

I'm on the Adam Ant diet..
You don't chew ever..don't chew ever..

Ick. I can't imagine anyone walking round with that written all over them.

Are you the poster that got upset taht if you googled hentai the search results showed.......Hentai

I need to know what's not sacred?

OnTheBrink1 · 27/08/2021 21:23

It’s just trying to be controversial. I can’t stand things that just say dumb things for the sake of trying to be controversial.
Plus I can’t stand the thought of someone wearing this and young kids seeing it. Kids should not be reading stuff like this even off the back of a shirt. I have a 9 year old and would be mortified if he read that out.
I guess in a club or adult concert it’s ok but I would probably thing the wearer was pretty irritating tbh

JaneJeffer · 27/08/2021 21:26

And I this one was bad

1forAll74 · 27/08/2021 21:28

Only certain types of people would wear that T shirt, as they want to get noticed, then it will become a talking point for a short while, and then that will be that.

Bitofachinwag · 27/08/2021 21:30

I reported something similar a while ago , not checked if it's still there.

WithABiffBangPow · 27/08/2021 21:34

@SquirryTheSquirrel

I hate 'come' spelt 'cum' so I wouldn't wear it myself.

This tickled me

happydays2345 · 27/08/2021 21:40

I think it's a Micky take

NettleTea · 27/08/2021 21:45

late 70's early 80s with Souxie Soux
punks
pretty sure it was Vivienne Westwood, but possibly just handmade
the famous cowboy one was hers
the shop was called SEX (or was it still seditionaries) and fronted by Jordon. It was designed to shock

BaringasMare · 27/08/2021 21:47

I very much doubt anyone buying it gives a shit about whether it will help them pull.

Lorw · 27/08/2021 22:03

Nothing wrong with ‘violent’ sex as long as it’s consensual
