A user on the Anticonsumption subreddit shared a Shein product with a problematic message on a shirt that reads “I have microplastics in my balls.” The post is meant to highlight the issue of microplastics in polyester products, which can harm the environment and even be found in human bodies. The OP criticized Shein for their business model, which prioritizes producing cheap, trendy products that lead to textile waste and pollution. Commenters acknowledged the irony of the shirt, but many expressed anger and frustration at Shein’s practices. The post raises awareness about the impact of fast fashion on the environment and encourages consumers to adopt sustainable shopping habits, such as buying secondhand.
