Its kinda sad to watch the group mentality form here.
Everyone likes to jump on the bandwagon and point fingers at the strange thing they canèt comprehend.

Why does it have to be people jumping on a bandwagon? Can't multiple people have the same opinion with being labled as a mob mentality?

If somebody does something stupid, aren't multiple people allowed to call them on it? If a lot of people have the same opinion, it doesn't make them a mob, maybe the person really did do something stupid.

Why is it that someone did something "stupid".
If that is your opinion fine.
But this thread to me looks more like a bunch of school yard bullies picking on someone who is different.
If you don't like what someone else has done to there own body fine.
But threads like this just waste space as far as I'm concerned.

Whooooo caaaaaaares? Whatever boils your perogies. Body mods are of personal significance to people, I'm not surprised most of you can't fathom why these people do it. But lets not all outright call them freaks and insane because we don't agree with it.

I admit, I'll see tattoos that and piercings that I think are just hideous or tacky, but I realize it doesn't affect me at all and it does mean something to that person, so why comment? I don't think it's anyone's place to say it's stupid.
 
last i checked, the peoples costumes on that site werent the center of focus...

and last i checked we didnt have a body mod/art section here at the RPF...

i personally dont care what anyone does, im not the judge of them or their choices... :angel

but like i dont judge gay people for being gay...

it would be annoying to see a thread in the costuming section about cross dressing etc. :unsure

capiche? :angry

all this is is a place for flamewars to start, for one person to open there mouth with an opinion, and another to open theres with there opinion of that opinion... :unsure

basically... in my opinion... this thread... in and of itself... SUCKS ASS. :thumbsdown :thumbsdown :eek:



can this not be moved to the off topic section?

PLEASE?

Exactly right JFJ, it’s body art an individual choice and no one else’s, it's not effecting anyone so I'm not worrying the least bit about it, what this fella did merits a serious commitment which he did knowingly for either personal or spiritual reasons and hopefully not some sort of spur of the moment thing.

I may not agree with everything some people do to there bodies just in the name of appearance, but I do respect the art involved and the people because there just like the rest of us and no different whether they having piercings, tattoos, or body modifications.

It’s perhaps not the normal but we have no right to judge the guy.

You know, there are people who would say the exact same thing about their right to call someone who spends hundreds or thousands of dollars on props "stupid".

:D

I never said what that particular guy did was stupid. I was talking about stupid crap that people do on a daily basis. I don't care if that guy wants to nail his wang to his forehead because his daddy didn't hug him enough - that's his business.

But telling him it's stupid is MY (and/or everyone else's) opinion and NOT a mob attack.

That was my point.

First, I never attacked this guy, I don't give a damn what he does to himself. Second, I don't know anyone who collects props in order to draw attention to themselves. Seriously, how many people here have bought or made a lightsaber and then wore it to the mall so that people would look at them?

My point was, people do dumbass things everyday and people have a right to an opinion about it. How's this for an example. The other day I was heading back to work from lunch when I saw this guy trying to get in the bank. This guy put his atm card in card reader and pulled the door. I watched him do this five times. He pulled on a handle that was one inch below a big metal plaque that said "PUSH". This wasn't some crazy old guy, this was a guy in his 30s in an expensive business suit. He wasn't blind because he kept looking at his card to make sure he was swiping it correctly. He was just some guy doing something incredibly stupid.

can we please either move this to the F-ing OT, or start a body mod section?

cause this has NOTHING NADDA ZILCH JACK F-ING SQUAT to do with costuming.

im seriously sick of seeing this thread, all it is is a reason for people to disagree.

but either way, regaurdless of whos right or wrong.

oppinions are like buttholes... we all have one... and most of them stink.

either way, move this crap to the right section.

body art is body art... costuming is costuming.

so unless one of these people has a boba fett helmet stapled to them... it doesnt belong in this section.

period.

dot.

dot.

- dash.

period.
