No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If you're actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.
If you're using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.
In other words, the lines you're concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.
You do understand that someone not wanting their underwear to show through their outerwear isn't necessarily about attracting attention, right?
The way they phrased the post points to not wanting to attract attention.
So, while it would be nice if every woman (or man tbh) could go to the gym and work out without some asshole eyeballing them because they made the mistake of not taking the extra step of minimizing the visibility of their panties, the world isn't currently like that.
Women get unwanted attention in some gyms to begin with. And, as you said, "nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing", but the ones that do care are the ones you don't want to meet, and are more likely to cross lines.
Be realistic here. You're assuming a woman asking about underwear visibility is seeking attention. That's the same kind of thinking as the ones that would see underwear lines and go bother a woman. "Oh, look at those panty lines, she's advertising."
That's some crappy thinking right out of the gate.
This is the real answer. Optimize for comfort. Don’t worry so much about aesthetics.
