NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

I'm a little confused with the STD metaphor?

Re: NS 2

[(Anonymous)]

I'm guessing that it means "saying you like Before Watchmen is such an embarrassment that it's like admitting you have genital herpes in front of your in-laws".

Re: NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

Okay but because STD's are arguably less stigmatized you can now admit you like Before Watchmen?

Re: NS 2

[insanenoodlyguy]

Yeah, but I'll treat that like you just told your in-laws you have genital-herpes. :P

Just cause STD's and comics that shouldn't be exist, doesn't mean you need to pipe up about it.

Also, it's more embarassing to like before watchmen then have genital herpes, so bad metaphor *hipster geek glasses*

Re: NS 2

Apparently. If you can say you have pimples on your penis, you can say you like Before Watchmen (or something like that).

I won't deny OP's metaphor is a bit... unusual...

Re: NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

But if you're in a social situation where you shouldn't talk about STD's you can't talk about Before Watchmen? How does one thing directly affect the other? I'm just failing to see how they compare to this extent. I feel like the metaphor went too far and now I'm just overthinking it in circles?

Re: NS 2

From the way I've seen the fandom go on about Before Watchmen and the first part of the secret, I think OP might mean that it's being treated as if it were an STD? Like people are as uncomfortable admitting that they like it as they'd be to having an STD. Still strangely worded though.

Re: NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

I get the first part I'm just failing to see how because you can talk more openly about STD's now you can talk more openly about your enjoyment of Before Watchmen.

"It's the year 2012 bitches. STD's are not the most embarrassing thing ever." Is what is confusing me. Is the OP not the person who made the original STD comparison because otherwise I'm not getting why that sentence was included.

Re: NS 2

[intrigueing]

I think it means that "Before Watchmen" is the new STDs. As in, STDs may not be that embarrassing anymore, but liking Before Watchmen is as embarrassing as having an STD used to be.

That's what I think it means, anyway. I might be completely bass-ackwards.

Re: NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

I'd like to think that's what they mean but the wording is suggesting something else entirely.

Re: NS 2

[intrigueing]

Yeah, doesn't it kind of imply that soon, the poor oppressed people who like Before Watchmen will not have to be as ashamed of it, the way people today don't have to be as ashamed of STDs, because if it's the new STDs, people will start being more accepting about it in the future?

WTF metaphors are my favorite metaphors :)

Re: NS 2

[anonymouslyyours]

I read it more a specifically because we can talk about STD's more openly now we can talk about Before Watchmen. "It's the year 2012 bitches. STD's are not the most embarrassing thing ever." So obviously Before Watchmen isn't embarrassing either? The implication being that there is a direct link between these two things.
