    Getting tattoos of characters you like isn't weird

      That’s why I rock the Odysseus ink. It isn’t cheating if you’re in a different zip code on en epic voyage

      in my view, being weird about other peoples tattoos is honestly analogous to any other kind of comments on people's appearance where I think people should just generally mind their own business. People like what they like :shrug-outta-hecks:

      getting chevrolet or something on you is potentially kinda cringe but whatever that's their thing. My business partner is covered in anime and game stuff that they like and honestly its cool, the art is nice and vibrant.

        :angry-hex: Adopting the monikers of corporate advertising servers to entrench their legitimacy as institutions and do the work of indoctrinating viewers into the act of consumerism for them.

          Art and media isn’t exactly the same as some random ass product. Obviously consumerism pollutes everything but stories and media people enjoy are an important part of their life it’s not quite the same as selling billboard space on your forehead for Pfizer’s pills.

          This attitude is childishly contrarian there’s way more insidious and fucked up things done to reinforce capitalism than people putting majoras mask on their arm bc they really liked it growing up

            I mean, I agree there's definitely worse things in life than a guy wearing a corporate logo.

            But its not so below notice that its beyond mention.
