The obvious answer to the return of #HeroinChic and the rise of fascism would be that fascism lauds the supposed "discipline" of the slender body, and the #WhiteSupremacy of one very specific body type. Another obvious answer would be that fascism, being inherently #patriarchal and #sexist, does not value powerful women but instead prefers them to look weak and docile. The super skinny look of #Y2K fashion fits both of these aspects of fascism.

But, like, it can't be that obvious, can it? Or is it that obvious and I just want it to be deeper so I can overanalyze it and feel like I'm giving some great insight when really I'm doing nothing?

I can't quite articulate why, but something about the rise of fascism feels linked to the re-emergence of "heroin chic" fashion, the lauding of dangerously emaciated bodies, especially for women and femmes.

Yes, the popularity of #Y2K #fashion plays a role, but we could have had Y2K fashion with body diversity. We could have done it over again and done it right. I feel like something else must be going on here...
