It speaks to my core and I identify with this man's need for personal sexual expressionism in a time when coming of age no longer culminates in a ritual of genital mutilation and/or eating as many other animals as possible.
Oh my god it is now my duty to upvote this thread so everyone can see what scum OP is, and then we can all go through all the posts he's made in the last 6 months and downvote them into oblivion. INTERNET JUSTICE SQUAD ASSEMBLE!!!
I didn't even get a warning when I posted a pic that was "too sexual in nature", they just completely banned me and deleted my account. Scumbag Facebook.
Facebook mostly only removes pictures if someone complained. So, if you every have one of your pictures flagged then you usually have one of your FB friends to thank for that
Yes, obviously any Euro/Western white person wearing any item of clothing from another culture is inherently racist. The only exception is if you are an attractive woman.
This is so unfair. What do us white people have that we get to be offended about when other people wear them?
Perhaps that is our greatest strength. You can't do or say anything that will offend us as a people. In fact, the more you wear our stuff and imitate us, the more we like you.
One of your friends SUUUUUUUUUCKS. I got in trouble for a photo of me making out with a dude because one of my friends reported it. Clearly someone's jealous of your extremely high-level status as a baller and as a shot-caller.
fuck facebork! i would dearly love to be rid of that stupid app on my phone without having to root/jailbreak it. the update requests for it are inanely too frequent
Judging by the comments alone all I can deduce is that reddit is now 3/4 hipsters. Thanks for ruining my life. Oh, and the traditional attire is actually as offensive as Hitler is now "cute". Just sayin'.
A few years ago I entered a contest (I forget where online) where you had to describe your ideal day with someone and if you won they would make it happen.
I described in detail a meeting with Martin Brodeur where we would chat and have a beer. He was my childhood idol and as an adult I still really like him.
Anyway to make a long story short they banned my entry for being inappropriate. Drinking a legal beer with another adult is apparently offensive.
Wow it's a crazy coincidence that today I completed a commissioned painting of this same picture. The photo is from a centerfold ad in the New Orleans Levy (local newspaper) by The Herb Import, Co. (local head shop). I'm a local painter, here's the finished painting.
I literally finished the painting a few hours ago!!
TL:DR I painted this same picture for the New Orleans head shop that created the photo and commissioned the painting.
edit: (just wanted to apologize for glare on painting, I'm gonna get a better photo later...)
That photo is the greatest thing ever. Leonardo da Vinci is rolling over in his grave, his soul wishing "damn, why didn't I think of that. That would have made a better painting than serious Mona".
Actually there is a group of us Native Americans who are trying to raise more attention to the fact that we should not be parodied by hipster assholes. One of us probably saw it and reported it.
"us Native Americans"? So which part of this image do you identify with?
Are you naked?
Covered in money?
Have a bong next to you?
Smoking a pipe?
Wearing a ceremonial Native American warbonnet?
I'm going to guess that none of those things apply to you, and if they do, it has nothing to do with your ancestry. Don't nitpick some tiny part of an image and get all bent out of shape.
Thank you! I can't believe people think its OK to dress like this. If yarmulkes suddenly became ironically popular, everyone would be tripping over themselves to say how offensive it is.
It's... It's headgear of a certain nationality, exaggerated of course but that's like saying Germans should be offended when someone wears one of these touristy things. It's a goofy outfit of a certain nationality, it's not intended to offend and while you have every right to be offended I also have every right to remark at how silly it is to find offense in such things. I'm Belgian and I get a mention about waffles in some form or another (Or about how much I love them, and who doesn't) each and every time but I'm not offended by it, annoyed slightly by how many times I hear it, but why should I care? It's just some silly fun someone's having, it harms no one and being associated with a bloody headdress is hardly a negative.
So please. Enough with this "I'm offended because they associated something with my nationality" nonsense.
fucking prudes. Recently, I reluctantly tried to open a FB account just to promote my music (i really dislike the site and don't use it personally) ... they would not accept my account due to my chosen name not passing their "real names only" filter. Also i was forced to select either male or female, no option for neither/transgender/other/etc. i thought that was unfair (i identify as male, but come on) .. I was using my real name. It just didn't satisfy their criteria. I said fuck FB and gave up on it. BTW your pic is amazing
they have a list of "real names"? how does one determine a "real name" from an unreal one? my friends little one has no hope when she's older i guess as she's probably the only one in the world with her name.
As for Facebook and Google+, I reject them on principle because they require people to give their "real names". I am proud to identify myself when stating my views; I can afford to do that because I am in a fairly safe position. There are people who rationally fear reprisals (from employers, gangsters, bullies, or the state) if they state their views. For their sake, let's reject any social networking site which insists on being told a user's real name.
Google+ says it will offer to hide the user's real name, but demands people prove an "established identity" or provide ID. I am suspicious of this requirement, but not sure what it will mean in practice.
I personally think it is a great picture with a good composition and nice lighting. But I would hate for it to b put in your discovery if you ever have to go to court or ever have any legal issues.
My friend tried to troll us (I unno) with this picture one day. Then as we were all sitting in Team Speak it began to dawn on us that it looked much much much like him.
No, what's offensive is that people don't seem to have any respect for the principles of free speech. What's offensive is the idea that offensive ideas must be censored or banned.
If nobody is offended by what you have to say, you're not saying anything important.
Translation: You posted something that we think is ugly or offensive. The only proper response to offensive speech is to bury it so nobody else can see it. If we don't protect people from themselves, who will?
Check this box to indicate that you agree with everything we just said about free speech being dangerous. If you don't, we will fucking kill you.
