Polis is one of the best congressmen in the House of the Representatives and no ill should be spoken of him. :colbert:

That being said, the bow tie and awkwardly slicked-down hair don't really work that well on him.

Man, I remember 10 years ago when Steampunk was still gaining recognition, the only people who did it went all the way and made really cool elaborate outfits, and although I never got into it I sorta defended it from people who said "these are the new furries."

Bronies aside, Steampunk really did become the new furries. Some still put a lot of effort into it, but the vast majority slap some pre-made pieces together, mix in gears/tentacles/pirate costumes, and get deeply entangled in the sexual side of it whether they intended to or not. It doesn't help that the publicly available art and costume guides can't even agree on a general look aside from "small metal poo poo glued to other small metal poo poo maybe?"

Hopefully you weren't mister Top Hat. Me and my coworkers were making fun of the dress up crowd whenever they came into the store.

No I wasn't, but as a fellow former employee of the chain I think you work at- I don't think either of us have any right to make fun of people when we took the poo poo we did at that hellhole.

I do a lot of cosplay, but I try to make it at the very least not awkward, ugly, or gross. I didn't attend the con daytime but I went to a Party at night as Jessica Rabbit. Con parties rule and can be a kickass place to people watch for the ultimate in unhinged nerds sprinkled amongst the functional people.

I dunno what poo poo we did (if we're both thinking of the same place, that is), but considering the store's location, and the University, I'm all too happy to mock the annoying turds who walk through the doors when I'm on my break. gently caress I need a new job.

I'm a bit confused. Is this look meant to convey "I'm about to hack the intermatrix with my neuro-node"? Or "My soul longs for the silent oblivion of the graveyard 'neath the full moon"? Is it "I'm gonna don my leather duster, get on my bike and ride"? What's being expressed here, besides "that Hot Topic at the mall saw me coming a mile away"?

edit to add: having a sub-forum like jailbait is bad enough, but it was one of the biggest sub-forums on the site, the moderator wasn't just tolerated, but celebrated behind closed doors - and wait... did I need to post anything beyond the stuff about their jailbait sub-forum? Really?

Well of course, but I feel like Reddit took it to another level. Tumblr is kind of a less cohesive social network than Reddit. It's more like a blog host.

I'm not aware of any jailbait Tumblrs and I don't think I've ever purposely gone to a livejournal site just out of sheer reputation.

Did you read the story? Redditors not only defended the jailbait forum, its content and this moderator in particular, but they celebrated it and tried to denounce and silence anyone who tried to unearth evidence. Reddit staff and users voted the jailbait subforum as one of their best.

Did you not see the part where Reddit had a jailbait forum and it was super popular AND celebrated? They gave the moderator an award for fucks sake. Jailbait Forum. JAIL-BAIT FORUM.

It wasn't a blip on the radar. It was a huge Reddit sub-forum for like 5 years.

edit: the award was a purple fedora badge for his avatar!

LJ and Tumblr are pretty loving fast on deleting things like CHILD PORN. Reddit, both the site ownership and community, stood behind protecting the rights of users to post child porn on their site. That alone sickens me.

Also pretty much everything that's already been said and more. It's really the most depressing online community I've ever looked at.

His profile goes on to mention several times how much he loves his five year old sister. He even has a picture with her (and she's just as potato-headed as he is). It creeped me out because it seemed less like a loving brother and more like an unhealthy obsession.

While we here at SA just had a mod that was a convicted pedophile instead. And that guy in the that loves lesbian pedo anime in the anime forum that Zorak won't do anything about because they're bffs. That's pretty awkward and ugly.
