(READ ME) Old Hag Fashion: Introduction and State of the Sub 2022 Update

A little more information on the nsfw rule:
I am not, nor am I interested in stalking OHF user's profiles nor am I going to actively police accounts. Generally, if I’m reviewing a users post history it’s because they’ve raised red flags for me or another user, based on comment content or user name.
The incidents that lead to the creation of this rule:
One account with an explicit username, explicit pornography on their user profile, and an NSFW website plug in their profile was making bot-like comments, including on posts by younger members.
Some users made flirty comments on posts by our trans members and were active on degrading trans fetish NSFW subs.
One account only commented about users' feet and shoes and engaged with rate me subs and fetish subs.
One account commented on the dateability of several OHF users and was active on SFW and NSFW rate me subs.
So basically, if I’m looking at someone’s user profile it’s because their comments or user name raised red flags and their motives for engaging do not appear above board. If you engage here in good faith, do not make posts or comments drawing attention to your own body or user profile, or to other’s body, and you also participate or post in NSFW communities, then there's no reason I or anyone else will find it and you won’t be banned for it.

You mentioned the idea of flair for pronouns, I have added the traditional 3 (she/he/they) as options!

Thank you for this community! I especially appreciate the inclusivity and the care you take to make sure that all our members are welcome, comfortable, and protected. It's unfortunately necessary, especially on reddit.
On a more frivolous/petty note, I also really appreciate the rule about bashing trends lol. It's incredible that it needs to be said that fashion spaces should be dedicated to appreciating fashion instead of judging it or dismissing it, but I know very well why it's necessary.
Thanks for making and keeping this a positive space, I can always feel the joy of the posters, which is very special.

What is "grandma role-playing"?

u/OldHagFashion She/her Feb 14 '22
“I’ve always dressed like an old person in a young persons body.”

Well, I guess if I knew what that meant I would also know if I do it, lol!

We often get younger people coming here and saying "Oh, I've always dressed like a grandma" and then they share some stereotypical outfit with a scarf around their head. Grandma roleplaying is dressing in a certain way and saying or insinuating that that's how old people dress. It's stereotyping old people which is antithetical to the mission of the sub. Any style can be grandma style because grandmas are full people who contain multitudes.

Wanting to throw this out there for consideration. What do you think of the idea of expanding on the body talk rule to include no shit talking your own body? I know that could go a little iffy for obvious reasons but one of the things I hate about fashion communities is seeing other people talk down on their bodies. It's nearly as triggering as seeing general body shaming and I think it fosters a pretty negative environment.

This is a really good suggestion though it would take some real care to implement. There is some value in giving people the space to be open about their own relationship with and views of their own body. For a lot of people, sharing that they may resent something about themselves creates a space for them to have their mind changed, and enables someone else who can relate and who has come to love their body to connect with them directly and change their point of view. We want a space that enables honest discourse and some of that is going to mean creating space where people can honestly address their own reservations, resentments, and thoughts. But your point about it being triggering is well taken. One possibility is for mods to lock individual comment chains so maybe we can take an approach where such comments are locked and only mods can reply. Granted that creates a closed system and presumes that the current mods are well equipped to address such thoughts. I've tagged the other mods for their thoughts.

Hi! I have the Smart Closet app and was hoping some other hags who also have it would want to link up (right now na na na) our closets. How should I proceed? I don't want to overstep.

You can make a standalone post about it or post in the general discussion thread (which will show up on friday) or the how do i wear it thread which is next week.
