Yes I searched this because I’m playing the game again and I remember the week it launched someone got a massive tattoo of one of the parties on their chest and I was so astounded by the stupidity of the decision

I don’t particularly care for Pokémon but tattoos are personal things and I find it kind of cringe to judge people on them. As long as someone likes their tattoo it’s fine.
Exception: my uncle had a tattoo on his side and under arm of women’s legs so it looked like his arm pit hair was her pubic hair. That one is pretty bad.
Counterpoint: tattoos on one's stomach of a cat with the belly button as the cats anus
You're all missing the obvious swastika face tattoo
I'd get one of those, but the Deep State stole my belly button.
Upon reviewing your submission I’m limiting my analysis to tattoos of pop culture things that people enjoy
how does that prove the rule?
It’s just a figure of speech.
It’s just the one tattoo I’ve seen that I kind of can’t reconcile my judgement on bc its kind of demeaning I guess. People getting pop culture tats is relatively benign and it’s just bc it meant something to them at some point.
I am definitely being a pedant here, but that figure of speech is used for when an exception somehow back sup the rule, which does on occasion happen. Using it when you mean the exact opposite, that this is just an exception, is a waste of words which will confuse people unfamiliar with the phrase, making it actively detrimental to discussion.
I've never heard the phrase used to refer to an actual exception that proved the rule
In its original sense, it is supposed to refer to something where the exception being made actual proves the rule. A sign saying "open every day except Christmas" posits the rule "open every day" with the exception "Christmas." Because there are only two states the shop can be in, and one is limited to the exception "Christmas," that exception proves that the shop is "open every day." Were the shop open every day, there would be no rule as to when the shop is open, as it is never closed. As it is closed once, then the rule is that the shop is open every day, except for one exception.
Oh no I understand but in terms of when people tend to say the phrase that's not what they mean
Yeah, they just mean there is/are exceptions. So they should just say "except." They are obfuscating their language pointlessly.
Ah guess I’ve just heard it used randomly then I’ll update it
thank you
