If you want a fun rabbit hole to fall into, look up the Hollywood side of this

Like for example how we have to use tiger sounds for lion roars now because it was used once for effect and it worked really well but now people expect that sound out of a lion.

DECO*27 has a similar syntax that is sometimes seen used by boybands, and the number in those cases represents how many members there are in the band.

From what i have seen, it's mostly kpop bands, but funnily enough, since that's not my type of music, the only example I can remember right now is the Jackson 5

I hate designer shoes. I hate designer shoes. I hate designer shoes. I hate designer shoes.

Oh what a timing! I actually just got my new pair fitted last week.

Over 10 years ago I got myself some Magnum desert ranger boots (y'know, back when they were still decent), and I finally had to change them this year. The leather was still... alright but everything else was breaking apart bad, so I figured I'd finally replace them.

But like! Magnum is a shit brand now, and all the competitors available here aren't much better, and the only real options for boots in that style are just, super expensive, so at this point I just went to a cobbler to simply remake the same shoes but with better materials and nice colors.

I think they turned out great!

this is more prevalent in furry circles but not limited to there. when someone makes an original design for a species, they can decide whether to make it an open or closed species.

a closed species means that the creator forbids other people from creating characters from that species (though sometimes compliance rules are made instead). as you can guess, this is mostly unenforceable; some people respect those wishes, others don't. some will shun the latter, some others won't care.

btw I made it sound simple, but by god, the people of both sides often have very strong opinions about it
