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

[Autumnlicious]

Yep. Still a petulant child.

"She did it first" isn't a convincing defense.

Excuse me? When did I say that? I wasn't aware I'd made any tasteless comment on a thread relating to murder victims while their corpses still cooled, I'm unsure why I'd be prompted to use such a defence.
Could you perhaps point the comment out to me? I'm intrigued.

[Autumnlicious]

The very use of hyperbole ("while their corpses still cooled") speaks volumes.

Not everyone shares your fucking value system.

Oh, I understand now. Well by all means, dance on their bodies if you like. I'm sure the families would thank their lucky stars knowing you all got a cheap laugh out of it.

You know what speaks volumes? That so few people said anything.
Makes you wonder how people reading this will view atheism. As a source of intellectual freedom and enlightenment... or this.
You know where you can shove your values.

"You all" who? No one is laughing at dead people, RD. Well, maybe one or two, but I don't see them commenting on it. Cin is laughing at people who dress up like superheroes. I love superheroes, so I disagree with him, but I'm not stupid enough to think that is equal to disrespect of the dead. The derailing of the thread was against our guidelines and really fucking stupid, but it is still not equal to disrespect for the dead.

Now, to be clear, people who respond to a one-off comment and cause it to snowball are at least partially responsible. I posted warnings in that thread for people to shut up about twice (I probably should have used those precise words, but I wouldn't want more people thinking I'm the boogey man). Still, the comments from you and Hovik continued right along with Cin's and Vae's comments. Syn is absolutely right. This whole "everyone should think like me" bullshit is tired. Perhaps it is something you learn with age, but getting offended and devaluing other's opinions because you don't share them is kind of silly. I'll be the first to call someone out for bunk morality or behavior, but I'm certainly neither offended nor expecting them to change. Some people just aren't going to think you like you. Hell, most people who have hard and fast guidelines for others are more of a pain in the ass at things like funerals than people with a sense of humor. (Read: I would rather have George Carlin talking about my death than the WBC)

And, again, Syn said you were being histrionic in so many words. He said nothing at all about how he felt regarding the warming bodies. I really, very strongly suggest that the moral police around here start reading people's posts and read up on what a strawman is. It's such a waste of fucking time to continuously have to debate around things that are being argued for no fucking reason.

That being said, I like you, RD. I just don't agree with you.

I was more than happy to let it go, my remark was never meant to butthurt the masses. It was an exaggeration of my feelings towards people who's idea of fun are not my own. We all mock and get mocked for our little guilty pleasures in life. Do I really need to apologize for my oh-so-offensive remarks?







Nerdy, idiot things about me:

I still like Star Trek TNG.
I like playing the game RollerCoaster Tycoon just to play with the scenery.
I like shooting mortar fireworks from the hip. (very arguably an IDIOT thing to do)
I still secretly make wishes on shooting stars.


....and yes, despite these things, I still think adults dressing up like superheroes is silly and dumb.

[Violet]

damn, this is not what I had intended with my remark about "loser idiots" who dress up for movie premiers. It was just a quick one handed remark regarding my own biased opinion of people who dress in silly costumes of lame superheroes.

I sure as hell didn't mean to start a whole thread from it. I thought I was just giving the "pro-costumers" a little friendly ribbing.


I take it all back. Costumes are awesome and one should feel blissfully happy when they get a chance to wear one in public at any occasion.

I thought I took it pretty well, I was very curious as to your reasoning.

I certainly agree that there is a correlation between insecure men with small penises who are also gay and costume wearing.

This is just ridiculous. The second people turned this into an entire discussion about costumes in a thread about 12 innocents being shot dead it should of just been met with "Don't be so bloody stupid, moving on..." and treated like the puerile nonsense it is.
Why its been humoured by everyone to this extent is beyond me, this has all been a ploy to make a rather tasteless and embarrassing series of posts seem less childish and more relevant than they actually were.

Grow up.

You tell people to grow up after that batch of whining at them? Good gods XD

This thread is split from the original, if you want to talk about shootings and fun stuff like thar: go to the original thread. Unless you'd like to continue decreeing what is and is not acceptable... By all means do go on

....and yes, despite these things, I still think adults dressing up like superheroes is silly and dumb.

I concede that it certainly can be, and that very few do it well.

Was going to make an allusion to superhero porn, but it would have been called tasteless, and only one person would find it funny

Me... I think that superheroes taste goood.

(I dedicate this post to the people who don't understand triple entandres.)

What's the world coming to. People can't even laugh at the corpse of a child now? Corpses are fucking HILARIOUS. I remember this one time, my little sister wouldn't stop crying. My uncle told her to shut up, but she just kept doing it. So he walks over to her and slams her little head against the wall. "Shut up!" he screams. "Shut up!" He just keeps saying it and shaking her. Then he lets go and she falls like a limp doll onto the polished floorboards. He just stands there, sort of half crouched like she's still standing before him and his hands begin shaking. Anyway, it turns out that his uncle (on his mother's side) was the guy that suggested to David Letterman that he should try getting a job in TV. Small world, huh?

I heard her body was later reanimated as a thrall of a blood Mage coming to collect on the your uncle's gambling debts. She beat him down to the ground with her tiny fists, Falcon Punch style. Got quite a headache, and was left destitute, not even his underwear left to him. I particularly like the part where his enthralled niece rapes him on video. The moral of the story is to never trust a cheese vendor.

...

Context is the only thing that makes corpses funny... They don't fart, they dont wiggle their hands hilariously, and their laughter is deadpan.

Why are so many americans judgemental pricks?

Have you met Americans?

Oh I get it now... that was a rhetorical question

I'm gonna drag Cinjin to an anime convention some time. He will love that.
