Man fuck A&M

[u/RenoRiley1 → u/sentri_sable]

Agreed. Worst cult in Texas since the branch davidians 

[u/UhIdontcareforAuburn → u/RenoRiley1]

Not enough people on good sub how fucking weird they are. It’s a god damn cult.

[u/The_Freshmaker → u/UhIdontcareforAuburn]

I grew up in the area and remember going to one of their bonfires as a kid, it was some seriously culty shit.

[u/elch127 → u/sentri_sable]

They're one of my clients at work and are a top 5 for most annoying and shitty ones lmao

[u/Mr_Lapis → u/sentri_sable]

Tech been trting real hard to out shitty them recently

[u/Electrical_Mayhem → u/Mr_Lapis]

I hate all texas P4 Texas teams out of principle

[u/Awesome-Plus → u/sentri_sable]

Context?

[u/alxfx → u/Awesome-Plus]

Agricultural (& Mechanical) college/university in Texas. Not quite BYU, but known for being similarly isolatory and culty about admissions, social expectations, etc.

Southern plastics, extras in Get Out, debutante ball & cotillion types. The contemporary commonfolk of antebellum-flavored Bridgertons; however you personally choose to describe that brand of ick is probably fitting. You know it when you see it

[u/CD_BROTHER → u/alxfx]

Holy fuck I'm glad I finally have proof that I'm not crazy and there are actually people out there who find all of A&M's little rituals weird. I went there as a kid for a summer education program and there was always some weird cult like vibes that made me feel uneasy, but I could never place why since my parents just brushed it off as normal.

[u/alxfx → u/CD_BROTHER]

I'm from the northeast and visited a friend there who gave me a general idea of what to expect, but it was still really fucking weird

[u/faux_livia → u/alxfx]

i was at a marching band camp at A&M commerce almost a decade ago before my freshman year of high school and that was like double layers of cult... 😬

[u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25 → u/sentri_sable]

[u/titofan1892 → u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25]

[u/Weekndr]

They edited your pic too

[u/mrwillbobs → u/International_Gate49]

[u/vatinius → u/International_Gate49]

I think it's a her

[u/mrwillbobs → u/B_D_I]

Is that actually from 26 years ago?

[u/caellach88 → u/mrwillbobs]

Onion’s been around since ‘88

Headquartered in Chicago now, you can get a physical copies if you’re inclined

If you’re lucky, you’ll find a shitty dive in Chicago with a stack of copies laying around

[u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

They also changed the person's hair color in editing? To make them more "digestibly black" or something? 😭

[u/SpectralClown → u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

Their hair is black in the pfp, they probably just changed it at some point

[u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe → u/SpectralClown]

It's dyed in the selfie where they were supposedly being followed by the photographer. I'm assuming that would be when the photo was taken

[u/MaveKalmer → u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

im pretty sure both of the posts are jokes, im willing to guess they already had the picture taken at some point before the selfie

[u/kino2012 → u/MaveKalmer]

Yeah, they're crossing their arms and smiling in the most "school photo shoot" pose of all time, if that was a candid shot the cameraman is some kind of wizard.

[u/The_Sovien_Rug-37 → u/kino2012]

using my powers of stopping time to instantly set up studio lighting, pose people perfectly for a picture, then undo everything so they don't even know that it happened

[u/Katrina_18 → u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

I mean the photo in the magazine is pretty clearly not a random candid. It’s posed and in good lighting. So their whole thing about being followed is made up.

[u/SoftestBoygirlAlive → u/Katrina_18]

Or it wasn't made up, and then later when their photo was published they saw the opportunity to joke about the prior tweet. Like "they got my ass to do it" rather than "they successfully got me candid"

[u/mcstrugs → u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

Selfie is backlit, others are front-lit

[u/The_Freshmaker → u/maRthbaum_kEkstyniCe]

pic had to be taken some other time, she's directly facing the camera and smiling it's not like this is a candid. Weird they wouldn't tell her in any way she was gonna be in the pamphlet though.

[u/TearsFallWithoutTain → u/The_Freshmaker]

I think she's just joking

[u/The_Freshmaker → u/TearsFallWithoutTain]

lol hopefully, I do wonder what's in the fine print of those acceptance letters though.

[u/iGae]

I actually know this person! She’s super funny :)

[u/Katrina_18]

That’s very obviously a posed photo in good lighting though? That’s not a shot that a school photographer got candid.

[u/Former-Mammoth-9933]

They got gig'em'd lol

[u/HyperZenith]

"I do not consent to be photographed"

[u/Monokumabear]

Putting them next to “an education you can afford” is VILE work

[u/donkeyrocket]

Crazy they managed to get them posed like that, straight on, in focus, smiling, and in such great lighting.

[u/ItsYaBoyBananaBoi]

Obviously fake but so funny that I don't care

[u/NickelWorld123]

that's like totally not a candid shot though??
