I'm amazingly impressed.

There's this Steampunk thing, and in it some folks like to talk about the Victorian aesthetic, other folks try to talk with fake cockney accents and annoy the shit out of the rest of the people by being dicks.*

The problem is amazingly summed up by my new best friend anti_censorship in this post ----> Read more... )

*sigh* once upon a time there was just 'them' and 'us' ; they were the establishment line towing mall shopping drones. we were just different and rejected anything society tried to foist on us.
i remember the day i walked into a hot topic in middleclassville ohio; there was an exploited CD for sale. $11.99.

punk died that day for me. all this steam punk technogoth is a weird fashion war fought on grounds my ancient mind cannot comprehend.

nice verbal smackdown tho.
thnx logan.

Wow, totally missed those posts (then again I've been sick and working madly on an uni assignment).

I'm totally bowled over by the tone of entitlement over that original post. "Because I have to say, if you want me to wear a corset, heels and a skirt again in the future, this sort of thing has got to change." (!!??) I mean, really. REALLY?

The counter-argument is then, if there are men wearing corsets (quite common in SP) and women without, should those women give up their seats for the men?

I'm going to avoid the comments like the plague because no doubt there'll be some asinine opinions that will set me off (although I'm sure there will be a few people with common sense).

Really. W. T. F.

Wow.

I almost had enough time on my hands to read nearly a fifth of the comments made by people who apparently have four times as much time on their hands to be making them in the first place!

*snort*
