[split] Dressing up like a superhero to see a movie?

[Hovik]

I don't really see calling people "loser idiots" friendly ribbing. That's bullying at best.

What makes you think you can make a judgment about people's intelligence and popularity based on what they choose to do for harmless fun?

Freedom to one's own opinion gives me that right.

Just because it's not something you wouldn't choose to do doesn't give you license to judge someone for it.

Yes it does. I can judge anyone how I see fit as long as it doesn't infringe upon your right to do said activity.

I personally wouldn't dress up for a movie premiere, but I'm certainly not going to judge people who do; it's their prerogative what they do, and if it makes them happy, what right do I have to think less of them for it?

You have every right to think less of them for it. The right you don't have is not allowing someone to express a harmless opinion sir.


Next thing you'll tell me is that I'm not allowed to mock christians and conservatives.

I should perhaps be more specific with my meaning. You have the technical right to believe whatever you want about anyone you want. What I'm not understanding is the basis with which you make such judgments about people. Calling someone a "loser idiot" for doing something entirely harmless that you might not see yourself doing is ridiculous.

When I say "what right do I have to think less of them for it?" what I more precisely mean is "what basis do I have to think less of them for it?" There is virtually no reason to make value judgments about other people's intelligence and supposed popularity based on choosing to dress up for a movie premiere, something that isn't all too uncommon for such films.

I can see why someone would think it's pointless or perhaps even a little silly, but that doesn't warrant them being losers or idiots because of it.
