But on a more serious note, who the hell are you to say that he can't have his own damn opinions on what makes a woman a woman. If women can go on about what makes a guy a guy, why not vice versa? He's as much entitled to his own opinion as you are yours. The difference being you seem to be intent on slamming his.

Me? I'm a legs guy.



So it's really more personal than anything else. I'm sorry to say this, but basically complaining about how you'll never fit other peoples standards of beauty won't make you feel better NOR will it make them change their standards -_-. You'll either have to a) learn to live with it or b) change. Either one. It's the same thing as people complaining about how they should have the right to say what they want and then get upset when people call them jerks. Freedom of expression is not freedom from consequence. We're social animals, if you can't live with the social dynamic, you either need to accept it or find enough angry, bitter people like you and change it.

you know what maybe you're right. I should just get my hurt sensitive ass off the internet.

EDIT: Done talking about this. There was no reason for that conversation to be posted in this thread in the first place. It had nothing to do with the conversation at hand and was obviously just an excuse to stir up trouble. Dan's personality or attitude has nothing to do with this episode or Thundercats.
It really has nothing to do with it. I just found it incredulous how many people were going 'you should only be nice to people who post their works online'. I guess it's the extreme of 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it'




Um, did they go onto facebook and then get needlessly angry at someone in a comment section? It seems not.

Nobody forced DN to go onto facebook and then make angry replies at people. Yes, he could have been suffering from stress or trauma or whatever. But let's look at it this way, he STILL chose to go onto facebook for god knows what reason after surviving a (maybe serious) vehicular accident. It's like people I know who go onto facebook and then complain about 'omg, my life sucks etc etc etc' or say how they're in so much trouble and then when people comment on that, they NEVER ever say what's up with them. Personally, if you've just survived a potentially fatal accident, I would think going onto facebook would be the LAST thing on your mind.[/QUOTE]

Last thing, I swear
I'm not asking him to change his preference. I said it was offensive because breast size and it's apparent importance in how we criticize women (fictional and real) is offensive. He can be a big titty man all day and I wont give a damn. If a woman comments on your muscles or any other part of your anatomy and then deems you something other than a man, then tear into her.

His opinion on what makes a woman a woman is irrelevant and worthless. He is not a woman, he does not identify as a woman. He doesn't know what it's like to be a woman or to have his breast criticized for being too big , too small or the wrong shape, or whatever standards breast are held to. He can speak on it all day, but at the end of the day his opinion on breast should not be taken into consideration ( once again, HE doesn't have breast) so why bother commenting on her lack of rack? Male or female OP, the comment was stupid and offensive, but it's coming from someone who has no breast but obviously feels like he should toss in his two cents
I'm not trying to stop him from speaking out. I'm not going to drive to his house and stop him from posting or talking. All I'm saying is that he has no business speaking up on breast size and how it pertains to a woman being a woman.
It's personal, but not just. I am not the only woman who is sick of hearing about breast size, and about how the perfect figure must be a replica of
Jessica Beil or Halle Berry's figure.

Pssht I'm over feeling inadequate over stuff like that. Sure it bothers me that some people feel they have the right to speak up on something they know nothing about or will never have to face criticism for, but I don't feel any pressure or heat to change the way I look. This is not about some desperate need to fit in. I just feel like my status as someone who does have breast and a vagina might be more ( or profitable at all) profitable to a conversation about breast, over someone who has neither breast or a vagina As a woman who is not a Jessica or a Halle, I have to face these types of criticism.My opinion on it matters more than someone who will never face these criticisms. Now if I go to a picture of Lion-O and comment on his lack of bulge or w.e and then imply or state that he is less of a male, then I have way over stepped my bounds. I will never know what it's like to live with how other people feel about small dicks,so I really have no place talking about how un-manly someone is for have a small one.

LOL, I'm not complaining about our nations BS standard of beauty or talking about how all it serves to do is fuel insecurites and inaduqecy in people from the moment they can comprehend what those things are, at least not in that particular post and not in this forum Please, don't feel obliged to give me the plain jane run down In no way am I asking for it, and I never meant for my post to imply that I need it. While I'm sure your advice is good natured, you have no business telling me how to deal with my hypothetical problem because you wont ever have to deal with my hypothetical problem. Now I wont drive to your home and stop you from talking about it, but I'm letting you know your opinion/advice wont be taken into consideration because you will never deal with this particular problem. Once again, the idea that you even think you can give me advice on how to handle it is way out there. I don't think my one forum post is going to change anything, and I never said it would. I'm not trying to change anything.

I have every right to talk about how disgusting his comment is. Just like he has the right to state his opinion. I don't need to find bitter people or whatever the hell you're talking about. Anywho it's not about that. All I'm saying is his opinions and criticism of breast are worthless. The fact that he thought it was even ok to comment on her lack of rack is just...no. He has no breast and will never be criticized about the way his breast look so...no. Coming from any gender it would be disgusting, but coming from someone who will never face criticism about it is a higher level of "just no".

I don't see anything wrong with the way Dan handled it, but if it was so out of character then maybe his accident did have something to do with it. Once again, I really don't feel like he was in the wrong, so we'd just go in circles about that all day.
