God, yes. Even off of seagull, this is really annoying. On ksg (I'm retarded, I know), we couldn't even talk about one of the main characters, for, like a year. All because one annoying trip/avatarfag liked her, and people accused anyone who said they liked her or posted fanart of being him.

I seriously feel like the anti-brandwhore girls legitimately think people are looking down on them for not wearing brand. I don't own a single brand piece of clothing, so I'll see girls wearing dresses that cost more than my entire coord, and from them, I get nothing but, "Anon, I love this outfit! Where did you get your dress?"

>silence from anti-brandwhores

It's not that you don't wear brand that is causing people to not speak to you, it's the fact that you're making a big deal about it, and putting down anyone that gets more attention than you, on top of dressing like a blind ita. Do these infamous brandwhores even exist, or are they just an urban loli legend?

One of my best friends (male) has a friend (female) whom I absolutely can't stand.

Some of her mannerisms include
-Wearing lolita/gothic clothes even though she's way too much of a landwhale to look decent in them
-Laughing really, really loudly and shrilly, like seriously it hurts your ears
-Not knowing how to contain her power level. My friend, his gf, the annoying friend and I used to pen&paper roleplay, and in Uni this friend of his would scream all through a crowded lecture room "XXX I'm so looking forward to the adventure on Saturday! I hope you'll include hot elves!", and stupid shit like that.

I don't know if this fits here, she's also a cosplayer so I thought I'd take this opportunity and vent.

There are koreaboos at my university who yell oppa unironically, major in Korean, joke about being Korean when they're really Chinese, have their name in hangul on facebook, post hangul characters, their lives literally revolve around the superficial manufactured thing that is kpop

And it's like being that much of a koreaboo is acceptable and totally not at all being like a weeaboo a few years ago. They'll think any kind of flared dress is lolita, they buy their cosplays if only to go to a convention for the kpop booth, just ugh I know I it's not totally cgl related but I can't stand these people

[Anonymous No.7423193]

>>7423174
Koreaboos are so embarrassing to me. I almost think they're worse than weebs, because they always act like they're superior because they're obsessed with shitty kpop groups and kdramas, and not 'childish cartoons.' The only good thing I can really say about them is they rarely spout out full sentences in Korean, so they save that embarrassment.

I don't get why they act like being able to read/write hangul is some big accomplishment, though; you can literally learn that in under a week.

I hate when I go to a con and I meet someone who seems like a pretty decent person, but they turn out to be one of Tumblr's social justice assholes.
It feels like cons are so full of them these days and I can't stand it. I just want to meet people with the same interests who don't get all their "knowledge" from Tumblr. Fuck.
I hate what that website has done to some people.

Something else that grinds my gears (and I think this might have been mentioned in the last thread) is white people claiming they're half Japanese, and the people who believe their bullshit. It just baffles me that people are THAT stupid. What's worse, is usually these weebs will make up these over the top stories about their families/lives and people will STILL believe it. Wow, hey, you go to Japan every weekend to see your sister who apparently works as a hostess AND for a record label? Wow, your real name is -insert cliche Japanese name(s) here-?

THIS. Except my friends suddenly are drinking the SJW/tumblr kool aid. I dont know why they suddenly have so much white guilt and think POCs cant talk for themselves. They even are going out together for feminist meet ups. Bitches are you fucking kidding me? I honestly cant respect people who chose to use tumblr to get information/discuss social issues/events. I try to explain politely too them that I like to use tumblr as a space to look at fandom stuff and they look at me like I'm uneducated. They are the ones who dont properly research topics and take random tumblr posts or peoples extreme opinions as fact. Pisses me off.

idk there's obvious advantages to being thin. if you lose weight everyone says you look better, then when you gain weight without meaning to you fee like shit. "oh you were so thin, what happened? don't worry you can do it" even if you just don't really feel so bad. being overweight doesn't mean landwhale, really. at least socially. you can be a little chubby and you're definitely not thin. it's easier if you were a lil overweight your whole life. but suddenly gaining weight, oh man. don't even get me started on seeing someone for the first time in a while. i knew a girl who had to leave school because she was sick, and me and my friends saw her for the first time in a few years. she was in college and apparently had an online store and she looked cute, fatter of course. however that was the only thing my friends talked about once she left, and kept talking about how she "let herself go" and how bad they felt for her which was like? so weird and not cool.

>Lolita
>Pin-up
>Rule 63
>Steampunk

Girl I've known about two years has recently come out as "non-binary" but doesn't appear/do/say anything at all suggesting androgyny or gender issues aside from letting her body hair grow (which is another Tumblr issue in itself), has reblogged posts on Tumblr about hating cishet men which makes me feel like her friendships with our mutual male friends are a thinly-veiled facade that could drop at any time, and has recently changed her cosplay name from something Japanese to just something randomly made-up, because it was "cultural appropriation" to use a Japanese name when she's not Japanese. The whole thing just comes off as blindly following special-snowflake Tumblr fads and makes it really uncomfortable to be around her, especially since I've seen an SJW snap and try to ruin someone's life over a perceived "injustice/offense" IRL before, and it wasn't pretty in the slightest. This girl hasn't done or said anything overboard to anyone yet, but I feel like it's only a matter of time, you know?

>Do these infamous brandwhores even exist, or are they just an urban loli legend?
Just because you haven't seen brandwhores doesn't mean they don't exist. I heard a $100 true story recently from my sister's friend. A sweet lolita lifestyler sugarbaby brandwhore elitist in a full matching AP set carrying an alpaca with a matching brand coordinate was teaching a panel at a con on how to properly coordinate cookie-cutter pastel Angelic Pretty sets with matching split twintail wigs. She had just finished the slide on the best way to burn handmade clothing and how you can sell your panties online to avoid the shame of having to make anything ever again and was moving on to the slide about how nobody over 5'1" is allowed to wear lolita clothes and enormous OTT wigs are mandatory. At that moment a 6'8" brave obese lesbian muslim asexual pot smoking black lolita with a mohawk stood up wearing her own unique steampunk bodyline replica coordinate with combat boots and a hijab with cat ears on it and neon furry legwarmers and a fedora but no makeup because she was naturally perfect looking without it even though she did not believe in the medias depiction of beauty. "May I ask a question?" she asked politely.

"Sure whatever" the sweet lolita sneered and then pulled out an Angelic Pretty tea cup from her bag and began drinking tea from it while applying more makeup and taking selfies and using her rich parents' money to buy Baby's latest print in every color on her cell phone.

The girl held up a pair of cat ears. "Are these appropriate in lolita?"

"no of course they aren't you stupid ita, no BRAND would make something that hideous, take it back to walmart and return it" she snarled while planning another brand only meetup at an expensive tea house to purposely exclude new members of her community and also posting mean things on /cgl/ about people whose only mistakes were being too creative and innovative with their coords.

"Wrong. These are Angelic Pretty cat ears. If cat ears aren't acceptable in lolita as you say... then why did a brand make these?"

Then the girl sat down. The sweet lolita giving the lecture turned white and was visibly shaken and she dropped her Day Dream Carnival wristcuffs and the camera she was using to take pictures of lolitas wearing Bodyline and handmade to shame on behind-the-bows later because she was secretly insecure and jealous of their creativity. All of the other girls in the room stood up and started clapping and cheering as the brandwhore ran out of the room crying, her DollyWink lashes and oversized circle lenses falling off in the process. The brave rebellious pot smoking lolita stood up at the front of the panel and finished the lecture and by the end of it everyone had started their own lolita brands. Maki and Asuka also came into the panel room and crowned the girl the new Kawaii Ambassador and asked her to make a line of neon cat ears out of raschel lace for them but she declined because she wanted to sell her goods at a fair price for men and women of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Later I found out the sweet lolita who had been running the panel had her badge taken away and was banned from the con and her sugardaddy had left her for a Bodyline model so she had to sell all her brand and only wear offbrand instead.

So yeah tell me all about how brandwhores don't exist when you obviously don't know jack shit. Infact you're probably one of them just trying to lure girls to your meets so you can make fun of them for not buying shoes from Angelic Pretty. Well I'm onto you bitch.

they sprout out atop your head if you eat the original animals
(e.g if you want a rabbit plush on your hair, you have to eat rabbit meat)
if you want pastel animal toys to grow on your hair, you have to barbeque it over a rainbow. for those keen in guro creepy-cute soft toys, marinate live cats and bears in soya sauce and black sesame before cooking. if you want the soft toys to be guro but not creepy cute, do the same as above while playing mana's music in the background. if you're going for the gothic plushies route, avoid garlic in your diet.

if you want them soft and fluffy, you gotta smear butter and cream all over before cooking. if you prefer resin and plastic animals, knead your livestock into meatballs (preferably the size of usakumya's head or larger)

do this once a week and you should see results within 3 months. don't rush it, or the results will look like derpy-faced replicas. for best results, soak your hair in a marshmallow bath before a Kawaii Meal (this ensures your plushies will grow in rich colour, and not faded out)

>Do these infamous brandwhores even exist, or are they just an urban loli legend?

I've been scolded by a random lolita at a japanese event when she overheard me saying I bought my shoes for my classic coord at a thrift store, when asked by a girl who's been interested in lolita for a while.

"nonononono, don't listen to her, get your shoes directly from a brand website, and only if your feet are too big, choose to go secret shop"

and lectured her on where to buy clothes. (I told her the same lecture, but suggested she start with bodyline as a wardrobe stuffer)

and, I kid you not, she goes back to her other lolita friend, and mumbles to her "she's wearing bodyline, who is she to tell someone about lolita anyway, bodyline isn't lolita"

I just kind of stood there for a while

YES. I have a girl on Facebook who I used to go to school with, and she's full-out Koreaboo. Her ancestry is Chinese, but try convincing her that. She posts and shares photos of her idols constantly, and spams them on her friends walls like LOL LOOK HE'S TOPLESS! OMG FOUND ANOTHER TOPLESS ONE! OMFG DROOOLLL.
She also uses eyelid tape... when she already has a double eyelid. I'm sure she just uses it because that's what they use in Korea!!!!!!
She's also obsessed with some middle-aged Japanese man, Yoshiki. She even made a huge tl;dr post about him on his birthday.

See, it's a complete bastardization of thermodynamics. Your body consumes food, and converts it to fuel. Any fuel left over is stored. If you don't supply fuel, your body eats the reserves. Logically, if you're eating less, your body is forced to tap into the energy storage. "But if I starve myself, that's bad for me" The human body has evolved to survive without eating for a couple of days (Humans use exhaustion hunting). If it goes without food until 72 hours or so, there's minimal health impact. Most modern fasting diets recommend 24 hours at the most.

Furthermore, genetics doesn't determine fatness. There's no gene that says "Oh yeah, you're going to be fat no matter what you do" If that was the case, there would be a lot more poor fat people over the years.

Fat people DON'T deserve respect unless they're trying to lose weight. The either have no self-control, don't care about themselves and/or are fucking insane.

>Fat people DON'T deserve respect unless they're trying to lose weight
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. "Fat-ness" can be a learned lifestyle, as in, your parents were fat, they fed you junk food, they never kicked you outside to play, etc. While I'm not saying they can't change, it'll just be really hard for them because they basically have to throw away 20+ years of habits to learn how to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle. That would be really, really difficult for a lot of people, especially if they have friends or family who ridicule them every step of the way. For some people, leading a healthy lifestyle is cutting off contact with people they know and love because they'll just bring them down and hinder any progress they might have, and that would be difficult for a lot of people.

Now, let's say, they're in a different situation. They're poor, they're a single parent, and they have to work two jobs just to keep food on the table. Healthy food isn't cheap, so when money's tight, you're going to go with the cheapest option, health be damned. I've gone shopping with a friend who was on a tight budget, and while she was doing her best to get the "better option", she just plain couldn't because the other option was just enough that she could get something else as well. And then, when you factor in work, not even the kids, it's physically impossible to work out because you need sleep.

There /are/ other reasons that isn't "lawl I tried everything, it's just genetics XDDDD".

It is cheaper overall, but you require more initial resources. To cook a healthy meal you need all the things to cook with, to store the food, the electricity or gas for you stove as well as the ingredients. To eat McDonalds, you don't need any of that, just the food money.

It's like how with pretty much anything, buying in bulk is cheaper. But buying in bulk also costs a lot more and if you don't have that much on hand it's not an option.

So long story short, yes, eating healthy is generally cheaper, but it's not just of the food itself.

More expensive than Kool-Aid. Don't even get me started on the price difference between the farmers' market and the supermarket.

Also depends where you live - I live in Northern Europe where fuck all grows. Only thing my country produces is lettuce and shitty berries, the rest has to be imported from god-knows-where. Prices for fruit are INSANE and so are vegetables.

I eat healthy and healthy food is not cheap.
I don't know what kind of "studies" figure that, but unless they're eating the same things everyday with the same cheap ingredients, I don't know how they do it.
Fresh organic vegetables cost me more than canned or frozen.
Meat is also ridiculous. Comparatively to other processed meats these prices are sky-high. If I want fresh fish, that isn't cheap. Then if I want grass-fed beef or something that didn't get slaughtered in a place knee deep in shit that costs extra too.
Cage free/organic laid eggs are also more expensive.
I don't buy a lot of dairy, but if I want hormone-free milk or unsweetened almond milk I think it costs me a bit more than the generic, plastic jug-pus milk that they peddle right alongside it.

I forget about bread/sweets, I can't afford that shit by the time I'm done securing the other food groups.

Also this >>7428461 sums up my entire childhood growing up with my mother, who is still completely ignorant about nutrition btw.
Since I've moved out three months ago I've lost close to 20 pounds, meanwhile she still brings home doughnuts/sodas and is bitching about her weight gain. She still tries to peddle food on me whenever I'm there.
But for years I had to deal with people ridiculing me when they didn't understand what it's like to live with enabling, bitchy parents who behave like feeders. It's no different than living with parents who have other issues, they rub off on you whether you know it or not.

Honestly I think people just have different ideas of what is "healthy" and that's why this is even an argument.
If you order out pizza and wings every day, that is unhealthy and expensive.
If you make ramen and hamburger helper at home every day, that is unhealthy and cheap.
If you make lentils and rice every day, that is cheap, and arguably healthy.
If you eat strictly primal or raw with tons of raw veggies, it's healthy and expensive.
Whenever anybody says they eat healthy and cheap I want to know what they eat. It's usually a lot of filler stuff like rice. Which I don't think is all that great for you. To me, a healthy diet is highly vegetable based with grass-fed meat. That is expensive. People who manage to do it cheaply are usually friends with local farmers and go to all these farmer's markets and grow their own plants and crap, which not everybody has time for.

A bagged salad for $3 that does two servings is BARELY filling. But you could get 3 big macs for $3 and that would actually be filling for 3 meals. Plus that would be almost a day's worth of calories, whereas bagged salad might have 250 calories in the whole bag. So basically you have just spent the same amount of money for MAYBE 1/5 the calories you actually need.

Oh no I didn't mean that you eat more to make up for lost nutrients, the body craves more processed foods to fill you up than it would with unprocessed foods which causes your stomach to expand every time you eat more.

I actually had to do this for a class in college. Basically, I bought food for myself as I usually do. I generally eat a fairly balanced meal, usually red meats once a week, chicken and fish mostly, vegetables and a small starch that makes up maybe 1/4th of the meal, fruits and veggies for snacks, water, milk and one container of juice(for two weeks) to drink. I tallied up how much I spent on food that week, since I generally buy enough food for 2-3 days at a time rather than all at once. The next week I started buying the cheapest junk foods, canned spaghetti, frozen chicken nuggets, store brand chips and pop, cheap sugary cereal. I found that I started out spending about the same, but the processed foods ended up being less filling so I became hungry more quickly and so ate more. I ended up spending almost twice as much just on the cheapest lowest quality foods. The next week I went with my friend who eats only frozen dinners and he helped me with shopping. I ended up spending twice as much on foods that I had to eat twice as much of to actually not be hungry, they made me hungry again faster as well so it ended up costing a lot of money.

I usually spend ~$35 a week. Cheap foods cost me ~$60 and frozen dinners cost me ~$95 just for a week. It was pretty crazy.

The anon's example was bagged salad. But OK let's say it's whole vegetables. Where I live, a head of lettuce is about $1. One head of lettuce is about 90 calories. 3 heads of lettuce = 270 calories. Still less than ONE big mac. Still not going to fill you up for the day.
It's the same with any other vegetable. Probably the cheapest calorically dense vegetables/fruits are bananas and sweet potatoes.
One big mac = 550 calories = $1.08
Bananas = $.30 each = 105 calories = 15.7 bananas/day to have the same calories as a big mac. That works out to around $4.70, more than the same amount of calories of Big Macs.
Sweet potatoes = roughly $.80/potato = 112 calories. You would need to eat 14.7 sweet potatoes to equal 3 big mac's worth of calories. This works out to $11.80 per day sweet potatoes to equal 3 big macs worth of calories.
Almost all other healthy fruits & vegetables are more expensive and have fewer calories, therefore you need to eat more of them.

Pots, pans can openers can be bought at the dollar store and to prevent food from going bad you simply go to the store more often and only buy what you need, plus freezing. I was pretty much homeless living at a step above a shelter in a boarding house in Cincinnati and I actually
ate more fresh, healthy foods back then than I do now. Eating out is a luxury.

>>7428788
I think it's because you were saying that calories are what makes you full, and that's just not true. I can eat twice the amount in mcdonalds food and have more calories than if I eat something I prepare myself, partially due to the nutritional content.

You don't become full from calories, you become full from volume things, from filling your stomach. This is why when you eat soup or drink a bunch of liquid you get full faster, the same with rice, because it's literally filled up with water and takes up more space. You can eat a ton of salad because it takes up much less space in your stomach. Calories of different things are processed in different ways, it takes much longer to process complex nutritional foods because the body has to collect the from the food, where as you get hungry faster from eating things with low nutritional value because it takes much less time for the body to process.

I'm sorry, I should have said something like, "the same amount of calories to maintain a certain BMR."
Like I said, a guy recently lost weight eating just McDonalds. He kept to a certain amount of calories and macros. Maybe he was hungry while he was doing it, maybe he wasn't, but that's not the point I was trying to make.
Calories are processed somewhat differently, but a lot of that comes down to calorie per gram of the different macros, as well as the fact that carbs/sugars spike your blood sugar more.

Most of the success of low-carb diets comes from the fact that protein and fats are more filling and spike your blood sugar less, therefore you don't crash and need to eat more, etc. But if you just ate 1600 calories of carbs and dealt with the crashes and hunger, however shitty that is, you would lose about the same amount of weight as if you ate 1600 calories of mostly fat and protein. NOT taking into account ketosis.
And if you don't believe me do your fucking research. Low carb diets work because you feel fuller. Calories in and calories out is still valid, it's just harder to do and that's why those diets fail.

You are so wrong you're not even trying at this point. Calories have zero things to do with how much you can fit in your stomach, have you ever drank nothing but water? You feel full afterwards because of the volume that the water takes up. It's as simple as that, it has nothing to do with how the body processes calories or caloric intake, you're full because your stomach is filled up, with mass. It's the same reason why your stomach expands if you eat too much too often, it takes a lot of willpower and portioning to get it down. Calories don't equate to mass and have nothing to do with filling your stomach.

That actually doesn't matter that much. A calorie is just a unit of energy. Think of it in percentages. Fat has 66% more calories per gram than carbs or protein. A hamburger has a certain % more energy than a strawberry. Your body burns a certain % of calories per day. The number assigned to that is arbitrary.It's as arbitrary as anything else. One Joule is one Newton-Meter and how do we know what a meter is? It's arbitrary! It's based on how far light travels in a portion of one second, but seconds are arbitrary and based on earth's rotation i.e. they were made up by people. If seconds were based on something different then Joules would be a totally different number, but it conveys the same damn point. The relationships to other numbers are the important thing, not the number itself.
It's like saying you can't compare a lightbulb to a jet engine because joules aren't calculated based on lightbulbs and jet engines and they have different energy sources, etc. It doesn't matter because it still shows how much more energy a jet engine uses in comparison to a lightbulb. You can call them kilowatt-hours, calories, whatever, it's the same thing.
Honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about anymore. But that's the jist of it I guess. You are all welcome to explain why I'm wrong.

Lol, yes it does. Do some research and come back and tell me hunger has zero to do with insulin levels or brain signals and is just filling some cavity in your body.

[Anonymous No.7428934]

>>7428901

So this is how the body processes food. The body's priority is to provide glucose, the most easily accessible form of energy to turn into ATP, to the red blood cells and to the protein. The other main issue is that the body will do anything to preserve protein (hence why protein diets without exercise will make a person hella fat, and protein diets with exercise will make a person hella ripped, simplistically speaking). In a 'fed state' the body will produce energy mainly by glycolysis and aerobic respiration, both of which use glucose. Insulin is used to store lipids, proteins, and glycogen. When you're fasting (anywhere starting between 6-18 hours I think) the body will switch to glycogenolysis and only then will start breaking down free fatty acids from adipose tissue.

Because they all get processed differently, it's harder to tell how the body processes each type of food energy than it seems. Metabolism is actually still quite mysterious, and it seems that each researcher or expert has their own rain dance for diets based on their readings of different studies. I won't deny the power of ketogenic diets for instance - I know many friends on them - but my theory on why it works even knowing the physiology behind may still be wrong.

I just kinda hate that my sister assumes that any time I don't spend working or at school should be devoted to taking care of her kids

like, she's makes it seem like MY responsibility. When I say "naw dude I got previous obligations" she pitches a fit and tells me I'm fucked up, etc. She dumps them at my parents' or the MIL's house EVERY weekend, and sometimes she picks them up from my parents just to drop them off at the MIL's house minutes later. I don't think she's ever devoted a weekend to just spending time with her kids and having fun with them. The husband's worse; to my knowledge he has never spent an afternoon with his kids, he's a manchild who spends all his time on shitty EDM. One time he went on this rant at me and my other sister for DARING to have weekend plans when we could be taking care of his kids, how eventually we would get old and none of our friends could hang out anymore and some other crazy shit. Well shit man, sorry for wanting to take advantage of my youth when I still can. It's not my fault you had to settle down.

Don't get me wrong, I honestly love these children, and I know that I'm probably one of the few good few influences in their lives right now and I should spend time with them. But I'm straight-up asexual with no desire for a relationship or anything like that, it's not fair that I have to be forcibly saddled with the product of someone else's sexuality.

But oftentimes, losing weight (even though it may be a lot harder for them) will help make that medical problem less awful. So there's that.

But for those with problems, if they don't try to make themselves healthy at all, they still don't deserve respect. Don't sit around bitching about it and refuse to do anything to even attempt to make it better.

Personally, I've been on steroidal medication for a chronic illness that had weight gain as a side effect, so there's that. I have a friend with some kind of respiratory illness that no doctor seems to be able to diagnose, and she's been steadily gaining weight because she is incapable of exercising without coughing up a lung or actually vomiting.

Others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushing%27s_syndrome
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto%27s_thyroiditis
Or people who have physical conditions like lack of mobility in their lower limbs that make weight loss through exercise difficult.

Ovarian cyst. My friend was recently diagnosed with this; she had gained 30 lbs. in three months. Anything with liver and kidney that can cause fluid retention.

No, she was an external hire, we were desperate for managers.

She's also like 30 and I'm 19. She's literally been working here for like a month and a half, came over from a Taco Bell. Since she showed up, everything has gone down the shitter. She's also a compulsive liar and is always getting the cool manager in trouble by telling the head manager that she's doing all kinds of shit she isn't actually doing.

I wish you could meet her, you'd understand.

I have no desire to become a manager at a fast food place. All the pressure that the managers are put under at my particular store is NOT worth the extra $.50 they pay you.

The cool manager I mentioned before lost all of her hair from the stress within three months of being promoted.

Pretty much. I was just giving an example of how you can not respect someone without necessarily being a terrible cunt to them.

And as >>7432463 said, respect is earned, not given.

So if a landwhale is bitching about being fat while they sit on their ass eating a bag of cheetos, they certainly haven't earned any respect from me.

If they're trying to lose weight even though it's hard, that's something I can respect.

Bumping this thread because I'm so angry.

>Wanna know what grinds my gears?
When shitty photographers publicly post shitty pictures.
And it's not just "Oh one or two photos are a little off and a couple faces are derpy..." No, ALL of the faces are derpy and almost ALL of the photos are shit without editing them. He just posted at least a hundred pictures of all different people and not one has a flattering photo.

This photographer just has NO taste when it comes to pictures and I wish he'd stop. He has an uncanny ability to make every person he photographs extremely ugly. No, I mean it. Every single picture he takes makes someone look hideous.
He gives the models no direction, takes photos in the worst settings, captures moments that nobody should post (model's neck is reared back causing a double chin; eyelids half shut with mouth hanging open; terribad acne that he doesn't shoop out). And every camera angle is from his crotch looking up, making people look like they have moonfaces and mondo jawlines. Christ, he even made his own girlfriend look ugly.

>person clearly looks, female, cosplays female characters, some with cleavage
>"I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CALL ME FEMALE PRONOUNS!!!!! BOOBS DON'T MEAN FEMALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Like jesus, are you even trying? The person recently cosplayed Ryuuko and Asuka and expect people to not think she's a girl.

It pisses me when supposed trans people get mad at people for not thinking they're trans when they still clearly look like their biological sex. Like jfc these tumblrites and they way they think the world must accommodate to them is just goddamn selfish.

This is confusing to me too.
I was taught that it is courtesy to call people 'as they present' until or unless told differently.
I have no problem with calling someone by their preferred pronouns...once I know them.

This all the way. I have a huge amount of respect for trans people and I will stick up for them every time, but after getting bitched out by someone for not using the proper pronoun (some made up word with a z?) I'm scared to even talk to trans people. I don't have all day to sit around researching the proper ways to address people, but I do try to be respectful about it.

I don't fucking care what you think you are I'm going to call them as I see them and if you're offended by that I'll just assign the neutral gender pronoun "it" to you.

i think a safe rule of thumb kinda thing is to ask (or wait for them to say?) but if they never tell you, they cant ASSUME you know, and getting angry is dumb. that'd be like me getting mad at someone:
>"so anon, you gotta boyfriend?"
>"UGH, I AM OBVIOUSLY BISEXUAL/LESBIAN YOU FUCKING BIGOT ABLEIST BIPHOBIC HIPPIE TRASH"
if youve never told them, dont get mad when they misgender. no ones a mindreader.

Lolitas (non cosplay ones) at anime conventions. You may as well be wearing a fursuit.

[Anonymous No.7434288]

>>7434260
Often it can feel kind of rude, intrusive or awkward to ask though, even with the best of intentions. I think if someone wants to be called something different from what they logically present as (to the uninformed general public) then the burden of informing lies with them, not expecting to be asked or getting buttmad if someone makes a mistake.

Once informed, if someone mis-calls and it isn't an accident then sure, let them have it but honestly...most people who like or want to like someone will want to give them the respect to call them by their preferred pronouns anyway, once they are told.

As I said, non cosplay ones. I don't like that animu conventions are being used as meeting places for any and all misfits to show themselves off. It's an anime/manga convention, and they aren't respecting this fact.

I'm using this in pronoun arguments from now on, if you don't mind. I never thought of it like that..

But yeah, from what I've seen of other trans people who aren't Tumblrfags, pronouns aren't that big of a deal. Transitioning is the biggest thing, and Tumblrfags don't even care much about that (probably because they're poor teenage girls living of parents' money and shitty pronouns are free).
I don't really mind calling someone he/she if they prefer that, but I'm not memorizing your stupid xir crap or whatever else you come up with.

[Anonymous No.7435070]

Go right ahead. It's funny how people don't see it that way usually, but it's so simple when you realize. Pronouns are only really used when you don't know someone's name, or you're talking about someone to someone else.

I feel like that as well, I can't even go on facebook without seeing someone who's turned. One of my now ex-friends who was bad enough about all their SJW shit used the term headcanon and that took the cake. I just can't respect these people because they're doing so much harm to causes and they think they're so smart and helpful, but they won't even listen to anyone or be reasonable. Their whole mentality is pretty horrible too, "oh well I'm right because other people agree with me so you're bullying me by denying my opinion as fact!"

I don't understand this at all. How is they/them not grammatically correct?
"I was talking to someone earlier and they said this." In that sentence, I used 'they' to refer to a singular person whose gender doesn't matter, therefore making it neutral. What's so hard about this?
Oh wait, using 'they' to refer to yourself is too simple. You have to complicate things and come up with new pronouns so you can stand out and be special.

[Anonymous No.7435127]

I think it might be because they/them refers to plural people rather than singular the way he/she/it refers to a single person.
