Picture this! The all new picture thread!

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I see the same old anti-fat-female discriminatory attitude is alive and well though (with the exception of your lovely comment, of course )

... what? Where?

Yeah, that kinda threw me for a loop as well. Can you quote what you thought was objectionable, Elmo?

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Yeah, add me to the ranks of the confused.

Forgive me, it was an observation on the deafening silence and sense of invisibility (and not just wrt me).

It's not something I want to start a huge thing about. Just an observation about what I perceive to be a telling difference between the quantity and nature of comments on particular female bodies as opposed to others TBBS isn't to blame, it's just a cross-section of our current culture. Which is why I still luv ya.

Forgive me, I just got done blogging on my fat acceptance activist site. So I was a bit on edge. I'll delete the comment, since I've been making an effort to reduce my personal baggage on this messageboard (though that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be less political ).

You know Elmo, I know why you posted it. I had a good response to you, but I decided to delete it rather than get into it all.

Suffice it say, it's a was a bit trollish of you. And it also makes you come off a bit hypocritical.

 

[captcalhoun]

you have a lovely smile, ED.

Here's a picture from our wrap party last week. You might recognize me as the dude on the right, but I'm here with the famous Ricky Mabe, recently of Zack and Miri Make a Porno fame.

Trollish, because I observed something that's true? I think it was rather poor judgment to post it, because it doesn't matter if I observe it publicly, it won't change anything and just stir a pot that doesn't need stirring. Which is why I explained myself, apologized, and deleted the comment. I think what I did was human, and how I afterwards responded was responsible and balanced.

JW, it hasn't been so long that I've forgotten your obvious opinion of me. But was flaming me by calling me a hypocrite and a troll, when I apologized, explained, and deleted a non-trollish but rather off-topic comment really necessary?

 

[Elmo Dukat]

Thank you!

Galactica fans, check this out!

This is Dylan, our post P.A. After he walked in that particular day, my first inclination was to ask him to please state the nature of the post-production emergency.

Later on, I made him a comm badge and mobile emitter out of some post-its, and we joked about how our coordinator was more like Naomi Wildman than Captain Janeway.

 

[Elmo Dukat]

^Awesome!!

 

[John Clark]

Aw, thanks! It's been so long since I've had a picture in this thread

If I may say so, you're very pretty

 

[RoJoHen]

 

[Elmo Dukat]

^^Thank you, but I must say I feel horrible for my apparently guilting comment. I'm not trying to guilt people into giving me attention and/or praise --- I'm just frustrated after a long day of reading very personal, very sad stories by fatter women on how they often feel 'invisible' in their day-to-day lives, or even that they feel like there's all this negative energy being directed towards them, while thinner women get generous amounts of positive energy. I really shouldn't have dragged it into this thread.

 

[RoJoHen]

^A pretty face goes a long way toward making up for whatever bodily "imperfections" a person has.

Also, clothes have a unique way making people look sexier than they are. Even thin and "sexy" people might not look all that great once you take the clothes off.

 

[Elmo Dukat]

^True that. And confidence - one mustn't forget confidence. I think many people, of either gender, think that confidence is quite a sexy trait, regardless of a body that does or does not conform to the current "perfect" ideal.

 

[DarkHelmet]

Don't feel bad, Elmo - I'm incredibly sexy, a smoldering and virile volcano of machismo, and yet no one has commented on my recent pix upthread.

 

[RoJoHen]

Yeah, and not enough people comment on the baby pictures I post either. And they're fucking sexy!

Proof:

Ach, don't feel too bad... I don't get women or even gay guys hitting on me. Nice pic, btw.

You want some of my gay guys? I have far too many hitting on me.

See... the sweater is what I'd imagine science majors at Starfleet Academy to wear... as to why hooded sweatshirts were never shown at a university-like area in the trek-verse, I never understood.
