People can be fucking stupid. We know this. They’re intolerant of difference and for the most part don’t know when to shut the fuck up about it.
Yesterday while I was dicking around on the Internet looking for tattooed Barbies (explanation in more detail further down…keep reading), a good friend of mine contacted me with a very disturbing concern.
Her photo had been thrown up on a body modification forum. Including her name and lacking her permission.
The slew of vulgar and bigoted comments to follow were ridiculous. Similar to an online witch trial or heretic stoning.
“Disgusting, never get a job, WTF, awful, disgraceful,” all manner of shit.
And this was on an APPRECIATION site. Many of us came to her rescue. Cutting down the ignorant fucks hurling ill remarks with facts. But still. What the fuck was the point of their comments? Don’t go on the site!
I don’t know what’s wrong with people. So that unneeded shit storm paired with my Barbie research led me to some interesting places. There were two sites that stood out to me. Two that I had a hard time believing that people were still this stupid.
This editorial in particular really blew my mind…
“As I have argued before, the heaviest concentrations of tattoos are on the skin of the lowest elements of the human race. Pimps, pugs, prison inmates, prostitutes and the members of criminal biker gangs are the creatures most likely to have tattoos.
Most of the ostensibly sane people who get tattoos deliberately, it seems to me, must want to emulate such creatures. And then they want employers to hire them, especially when they are going to be working around innocent children?”

For the Full Rant: http://www.mcall.com/news/local/carpenter/mc-pc-dorney-park-right-to-ban-tattoos-20120529%2C0%2C5750831.column The first quarter seems irrelevant, but read through and see where he goes with it. It gets weird. And it’s really hard to believe that it was only published a little over six months ago.
Now let’s move onto Barbie.
My friend sent me this with a, “hey it’s you!!!!” Attached to it:

My response was something on the lines of, “that’s rad,” and “I think I wore that outfit yesterday.” Anyway. I didn’t see a problem with it.
It was then, in my search to find the Kate Barbie, that I ran into Tattooed Barbie, which got me excited and onto a whole other mission.
A mission to find and/or create Barbies of my friend and I like the photo at the top of the blog.
I ran across this photo, and thought it was beautiful. I clicked on the link because I wanted to see what it was and if it were available, I mean, duh? Who wouldn’t?

Now where it took me was here:
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t840766/
Not being a fucking low life white supremacist, I had no idea what the fuck I was landing in. So that’s what started this whole thing. That and while I’m looking up all of this shit and getting more and more agitated by the second, my other tattooed lady friend contacted with the dilemma stated at the beginning of the blog.
So the universe had it in it’s cards for me to get mentally violent and verbose in regards to this topic.
So as far as the White Power Shit-Stains go - check out some of their comments, not too intelligent. Again, tattoos and Barbie are going to corrupt the youth. All about being disgusting, shameful and damaging to the poor little impressionable kiddies.
Seeing a person or doll with ink isn’t going to launch your little pale skinned sweetheart into a life of crime and back ally brothels you dumb fucks. And here I thought white power supremicists were a tolerant lot? Heh… Maybe in the last few years they got more tolerant??? Now that’s comedy!
*Also - the none of the dolls on that site are the Tokidoki Barbie they’re all hooting and hollering about. Now THAT’S funny!
Anyway…
Like the morons harping about their dislike on the public forum, how no one could get a job and how old people hated them; it just sounds ignorant.
As 2013 develops, so do people’s tolerance levels and understanding. It isn’t until some dumb ass brings up how you can’t get a job or how it’s an abomination does that shit surface all over again. Drop it.
Tattoos don’t corrupt kids. Neither does Barbie. I’ve loved tattoos since I was young. They appealed to me. I’m fucking creative for fuck’s sake! If I had a tattooed Barbie, it wouldn’t corrupt me. I’d want it because it appealed to me in the first place. And also in Barbie’s defense, who the fuck doesn’t want a killer rack? I bought one and it sure as shit wasn’t because Barbie had one! It’s because, again; it appealed to me.
We’re drawn to what we’re drawn to. Some of us are drawn to creativity and body modification while other’s are drawn to stale suits and ignorance.
The best we can do is not burn the other’s houses down and hope the ignorant bastards get with the “if you don’t have something nice to say…shut the fuck up,” trend. And do some fucking research first please! At lease google the topic you’re flipping the fucking out about and get the right God Damn image.
All of this over a simple look alike comment… And the shit storm of ignorance that followed.
It’s adornment. If you don’t like it, awesome. But nobody wants to hear about it. I don’t go around telling bitches rocking giant blood diamonds that they’re hedonistic cunts, so I expect the like in return.
End of story.
