No comment. Well, yeah, a few, but I'm storing up my bile for worthy morons. Or at least ones I have to look at ever again.

Besides, it's still marginally better than most of the **** that results when I do organic modeling. But that's partly attributable to the fact that I tried it, let's see... once.

Meh.

At this point, all that ****'s kinda at a "yeah, I've seen worse" level. So long as I don't have to know 'em personally, freaks can be freaks however they like, ain't hurtin' nobody else. Except maybe the local sheep, but I'd rather not think of that.

The nasty little abortion actually annoyed me a bit more because of how he obviously thought the little turd was worth showing to everyone all over the world, like Nobel Prize **** or something. But then, when I was young and sucked at modeling I had a pretty ****ed-up sense of perspective too.

It isn't sad if it helps keep something as worthwhile as Megatokyo running :)

Because picking on misfits just because they're not your variety of misfit is pretty moronic, that's why.

Pick on the misfits that come here and show their anal sphinctres by rising to an0n's shameless trolling.

Beh, so long as there are no offended furries here it's harmless. Since Turnsky's the one who posted this in the first place, one must assume that he is not insulted by mockery directed towards the fursuit and kinky sorts. And pointing out people who seem bizarre, creepy, or otherwise deviant is such an well-established societal trait that there's really no point in going after the practice itself when it's doing no harm. Me, I've grown, ah, marginally more tolerant recently towards others' kinks so long as they don't shove 'em in my face, so I'm not about to pitch in, but it's no big deal- I mean, that guy'll never have to hear it (from US), and, well, so what's the deal?

And believe me, I'll be around to make fun of Stealth when he comes back around and tries to start something (or pursue something) again.

Bah! I'm a fur! (not the suit kind though) And though I'm not offended yet, (cause most furs are kinda lame) I'd still rather you didn't...

(I wonder where I could get that kind of a costume :lol: )

Well, there you go then. I figured you just had some nebulous issue with the whole deal of making fun of people in general.

Can I make fun of the kinda person who'd write Megatokyo, though? 'Cause that is tempting...:D

...Of course, then when it comes to thinking of a proper starting insult, it occurs to me there's nothing I can say about them that's worse than the fact that they write Megatokyo. Dammit, dammit, dammit! Foiled by infinite suckage yet again!

I think the only time I even raised a smile at Megatokyo were the comics that weren't comics. The stick men crap, some had potential.

mmh, he was at some kind of anime convention ( Otakon I think ), from what i've read on his website. so: anime convention = cosplay, always.
That said, I have nothing against cosplay ( I figured last year it was pretty cool when I saw those 3 gorgeous girls cosplaying the girls from Cat's Eyes :p - gotta see what I'm talking about so you can understand, and I don't feel like explaining, as usual you'll say- )

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what's so sad about this. It's a person. In a cowsuit. Speaking.

So what?

People do that all the time. Look at Disneyland.

Care to fill me in?

First off, it's roll playing. There's nothing wrong with it. And second, He is doing it by choice. And so are probably thousands of others. It's not like he's raping a goat for heaven's sake. Why is everyone so critical of everything?:doubt:

Role playing, or cosplay, can be good sometimes. It helps you get more into character, it helps promote something you really like, and it's fun because it's wacky. Experience gained in making the costumes could be useful too.

Not that any of that means I'm ever going to even think of doing it :p

oh when it's about animecon then it's understandable, cosplay belongs to animecon. That costume is just hilarious :D
