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

[Hovik]

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.

So really your problem with my statement is not what I think about the actions of other people, it's that I used the words "loser idiots."
I have a strange feeling that if I used the words silly children, you would've still found a bone to pick with me as it is still an insult no matter how you look at it.

You'd be right that I would still take issue with calling them silly children. It's not the words you used but the rationale behind the judgment and the particular issue at hand about which you're making the judgment.

... I could go on for hours, but I'm trying to get you to understand that just because I deem an action/person stupid or idiotic doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm exaggerating my dislike for something to make a point. A point that you can easily ignore since I would never infringe on someone's right to be an idiot. As far as I'm aware, I'm allowed to think that people who dress up in tights and truly do WANT to be some silly childhood superhero - are idiots ... even if I'm wrong in my quick assessment.

Do you honestly think that people who dress up for a spot of fun truly want to be superheroes? Furthermore, what's your beef with superheroes to begin with? It's almost like you take personal issue with people enjoying things that you consider childish.

I'm 21, and I still play Pokemon games in my spare time. Does that make me a child for enjoying a game that is targeted towards children? It's a game I play because I still think they're fun, and I get fond nostalgia in playing them. To me, that's a worthwhile diversion.
People who dress up in costumes at movie premieres do so because they think it's fun and a diversion from their otherwise "normal" day-to-day. I seriously doubt they want to become superheroes or think they are superheroes because they're getting into the spirit of things.

Also, can you justify conflating something as simple as a little cosplay with something ideologically irrational like a particular religious belief?
