    The belly button is visible?! Scandalous!

    Maybe it’s OK because it’s a mannequin.

      Seems like wearing a top with a decade that's about 10 years before you were born has always been in style

        Wow this post has the same exact title as about half a dozen other posts containing Archie Comics. From a user that has made 9,000 posts in a year. Curious

          Lol, like 40% (estimate pulled out of my ass) are xposts from .ml comms as part of ongoing boycotting efforts (recap)

          Another 40 was the result of a massive increase in posting to organically counter ".ml heavy hitter comms", basically found a home for every decent article I came across/read with a focus for comms like !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or !linux@programming.dev

          The remaining 20 are things I would have posted naturally, OC memes etc.

          All 9k posts were posted or xposted manually by my 2 hands

            I have a goofy secret, that I was never girly, girl about a lot of things. But the library I went to always had copies of Betty and Veronica laying around and I sure as hell read them all. I think it's kind of funny you guys keep pulling all this bathing suit stuff up. Cause I think Veronica later wears a string bikini exclusively. But I can't exactly remember, because that was years and years ago. I have always found the evolution of this property (which has lasted so long) has been interesting as societal views have changed. I don't read it anymore, but I do know they added a gay character at one point and I saw some other stuff they changed too.

            I bought some as a gift a while back. I kinda liked these new characters: https://archiecomics.com/meet-the-new-kids/ Don't know if they kept them around tho.

                I suspect that was a window model. It used to be that actual people would model the latest fashions in big store windows.

                  Thank you for this, I haven't seen one in a long time but I also don't really go to comic shops or anything anymore. I used to when I was a baby geeklit. I love comics for what they are, I just don't know if I connect with them in the same way I did as when I was younger. I think the need for financial gain has also altered the scene quite a bit, regardless of how talented people are. I think I was listening to an interview with Sophie Campbell one day and she said she doesn't really read loosies anymore because their pacing always seems off. It's kind of the same reason why I can't stand Netflix shows, because it feels like they're put together to create the largest amount of arousal and retention as plausible, while stringing an individual along (they're also hella flashy, the camera changes every three seconds). Eh! I think there is a wholesome element of Better & Veronica (Or the Archie-universe as a whole) that is actually really needed when you're younger/coming of age. Because everything feels so strange to you, and it's nice to have something be simple, sweet an non-antagonistic.

                  I have seen people on here talk about how people creep on you from a young age if you're perceived as desirable (I didn't really want to point at any gender, but I know it happens a lot to gals). While I think people are more apt to talking about how unwanted advances of older individuals against young folks is bad, I actually think these things are still difficult subjects to approach. But I think a lot of media has subversive almost grooming like effects that can really subconsciously harm young minds. No one can really escape it, and equally there are elements of puberty that obviously make you sexual. But there's also elements that make you almost asexual in nature. They two kind of butt up against each other. It's a confusing space, and people tend to enjoy media as a pause from the confusions of life. So like I said, I am glad that these comics still exist. I am also glad they evolved, because they were written in a way that white-washed America (Leave it to Beaver) in way that people have worked to shift (Raisin in the Sun) to permit more equality in the country. For as much as people hate it (white supremacist) I think diversity is the spice of life, and in including it they found a way to reach a wider audience and stay afloat in a volatile market. If I come across one of these, I'll grab one just to see how things have changed cause of you. Thank you =)!

                  p.s. - (I talk about the grooming stuff from my own experiences, but also from the stuff I've heard other folks say. On media, I clearly partake. I just think there are elements that are really harmful to people as a whole, let alone developing minds. There's also some wonderful stuff though, that help expand the imagination or even educate individuals on good moral standards. So eh!)

                      Associating yourself with being 10 years older is extremely popular for the 11-20 demographic

                                    In my wildest dreams. I bet you when they made it edgey perhaps (I know for a period they made it edgey but I don't know the specifics of it). I do like the idea that you can be real good gal friends without all the raucous sexual tension. Cause when I first came out (and being gay was as accepted as scratching yourself up with a brillo pad) gals were super dubious of my existence. As society became more accepting, I made a literal shitton of straight gal friends. To the point now where they are the majority of my inner circle. Not that I think either is particularly queer coded. Betty is just a tomboy and Veronica is just a flirtatious gal. Hahaha!

                                    (God that sounded like I was joking at the end but I am just laughing because I really think it ends there, but things can change and I haven't read this stuff since I was young so idk.)

                                        I remember reading this as a child in the 90s (I was living in South Asia at that point).

                                        Strange to think about it now.

                                          Lol, like 40% (estimate pulled out of my ass) are xposts from .ml comms as part of ongoing boycotting efforts (recap)

                                          Another 40 was the result of a massive increase in posting to organically counter ".ml heavy hitter comms", basically found a home for every decent article I came across/read with a focus for comms like !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or !linux@programming.dev

                                          The remaining 20 are things I would have posted naturally, OC memes etc.

                                          All 9k posts were posted or xposted manually by my 2 hands

                                          I'm... not exactly sure "boycott" is the right term for intentionally hiding the source you're stealing content from. Nor "organically", come to think about it.
