remove themes like "foreign", "poor" and "rich" from the fashion contest and get something less stereotypical :/

i mean wth is foreign, that's kind of culturally / racially insensitive
and how does a poor person dress up? and are we taling about first world poor or third world poor?

there are also themes very similar to each other like 'goth' and 'emo & gothic' (?) etc (can't even remember them all)

i rly need themes that have actually something to do with fashion
please tell me i'm not the only one who thinks this way

I definitely think that Foreign is offensive. Something like exotic or alien would be more appropriate, in my opinion.

Yeah, I don't like poor or rich as themes either.

exotic could be problematic though. it can be racially insensitive to use.

^Yes. Was just about to say that.
It's honestly unnecessary to make a fashion category about being a different race/culture. I never participated in a fashion contest before but sad that those were even themes in the first place sad

i feel like a lot of these themes are a bit on the racist side
and i just feel like it's so easy to find themes like
rockabilly, tomboy, scientist, flowerist, a star, the waves
also like putting restrictions on these contest, that you can't use an item for this theme and such on but have to illustrate the theme through clever styling with what you have.
