(Anonymous) 2012-03-17 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)PAINTING YOURSELF IS NOT "OKAY." IT'S CONSIDERED IMMATURE AND STUPID TOO.
In addition YOU ARE COMPARING DRESSING IN TEAM COLORS TO COSPLAYING. "It's okay to dress or even paint yourself in team colors to show your fan support [focus on the dress, not the paint], but dressing up like your favorite character to show fan support is considered horribly immature and stupid"
But you brought up stuff like reruns and social activity and civic pride, which to me is semantics, because it doesn't reinforce your point that the double standard isn't as bad as I say; it's only a collection of partial excuses for the double standard.
I was explaining, not excusing. I really don't like the implication that if I had only said it better you would have backed down. My point was that by NON-FANS football stuff is just as unacceptable as anime stuff, only that a person will statistically find more football fans wandering around town than anime fans because most fans of say... the Steelers live in Pittsburg, and it's shown as "Support these people as football representations of Pittsburg," so it's easier to support them by default.
Lots of social activities are looked down on as pathetic, like D&D, and whether or not a show reruns doesn't seem to be the deciding factor on how socially acceptable it is.
My point was that something live is more of a social excuse. You can always excuse yourself for live theater, it's easier for live coverage than something that will be re-aired.
Oh, the one sentence where I used "might" but you misunderstood its implication from context. "This may be true" can mean "I admit this is true, but..." if it leads into a contrasting statement, which is what I did. I'm not saying "well I'm not sure an a guy in an anime shirt will get less shit than a full body paint guy." Context is important, and quoted alone the meaning changes entirely.
Or it can mean "I can't refute this, but I don't agree and don't think it's true."
