fandoms may change, but irritating people remain

Someone felt the need to send a 'getting to know you' forward to a fic list I'm on. This is taken from one woman's response:

IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT AND WHERE IS IT AT?

Not that I don't like them, but I would never do that. It sends a message about the wearer they don't realize is negative.

I have a tattoo. It's on my left arm, it's fairly large, and it's visible if I am wearing cap sleeves or a tank top. It's inked in black, so if I have on a white or really light sleeved shirt, you can see it through the fabric.

I know exactly what it says about me and if it makes people uncomfortable, tough shit.

It's an immediate litmus test. If people cop an attitude with adults having themselves tattooed, I don't need to bother with them. If someone is narrow enough to be offended by ink embedded under my skin, I can think of a dozen even more offensive things about me.

Of course, this is the woman who dislikes fic recs being posted because 'it hurts the feelings of the authors who aren't rec'd'. She also feels that readers owe fic writers feedback.

People don't owe me shit. I write because I enjoy it.

If you need gratification that badly, buy a vibrator.

What the FUCK is wrong with people?

( man arrested for burning kitten on grill )

I accept that there are people that do not care for animals in general.

This is okay. I don't understand, but that's not my place.

What's not okay is people torturing said animal.

I don't particularly care for teenagers. This does not mean I grill them over an open flame.

How do you hurt a baby anything like that?
