I'm with >>7809450.
Also Anon, there's one thing many people tend to forget: If you have a hobby you are really passionate about, chances that you will spend a lot of money on it are very high, no matter what you do. Seriously, it's a little annoying how people always seem to forget this. Almost nothing in this world is for free, deal with it.
Think about fabric prices if you sew, the prieces of cameras and matching equipment, the guy in the other thread who came from /k/ and had just spend 3k on a new rifle, expensive sport gear and gym memberships/food/personal trainers, collector items of any kind, high end fashion, travel costs if you want to explore the world, painting equipments, gaming PCs, ecetera, ecetera...

Personal pet peeve when people accuse me of spending too much money on a $300 dress while they are buying a 1k camera or doing an expensive trip through Australia. It's just different priorities.

I know, sadly. This is why I am more afraid of regular people then (hardcore) weebs - there are so much more of them than weebs, and the second you do not fit into their niche, you are free to be harrassed, molested, shouted at, or whatever. Seriously, every negative encounter I had (nott oo many, fortunately) was with regular people throwing all their manners and common sense overboard just because I look a little different (I'm not even wearing pink pastel AP-Babyprints; just Classic/Sailor Lolita so towned down it sometimes is hardly even Lolita). Never got shit from weebs/alt- fashion people even though there are plenty of them in this city.

>But you deserve it for being different, amirite?

Basically what my mother thinks, so I have not really tried talking to her. She just thinks you should suck it up because you deserve it. I know there will always be assholes and of course you should expect ths to happen, but that doesn't justify their actions, right? Sadly my mother does not think so; I felt even more hurt as I was aalso photographed a lot against my will, and my mother just told me "Well, you deserved it amiright?!"
