POLL: should this be my new avatar

[minxnim]

i can't stop loving it even though i hate it entirely.

i think its nice. also it reminds me of my friend who went from hating the word cunt to loving it. one time we had a little party for her and hung some pathetic decorations - paper plates with the letters c-u-n-t on them. preppy please read this story about my adventures with dumb bitches last night http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142936

Better claim it first...

 

[minxnim]

i voted No. i'm very opposed to certain sorts of "reclaiming" of words. "queer" was cool and "my pals" is...complex, but "bitch" and "cunt", instead of simply robbing those words of insult power, seem to have caused people to be proud about actually being a bitch or a cunt, no different from me deciding to reclaim "cock" by proudly acting like a huge jerk and when people call me a cock i'm like "AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?!"

not that that's what you're trying to do personally. but that's what it makes me think of.

i think in this case its just like a warning sticker

id get an avvy that said 'self-absorbed immature hypocrite-face' if it fit all cute on a heart like that

 

[goatschool]

blasphemy. no. no.

 

[minxnim]

i think i decided against it, not because of alex's political reasons (like, ok?) but because it's too pink i think.

 

[minxnim]

although i was thinking i may want to change my name to 'ava gina'

There's at least book about reclaiming the word "cunt." Someone did a 20 minute discussion on it a couple semesters ago. I think they honestly just liked saying "cunt" and doing the handout that had "cunt" in every paragraph.

in the past, in addition to being Cody Pendant, I've been Tam O'Shanter, Roman Jugg, and Marshall Staks.

 

[minxnim]

you guys are totally missing the point! (except for bigfake...)

i didn't mean them to be political. i just don't like people acting like assholes.

not to say you're an asshole. not at all.

 

[minxnim]

okay well anyway i may still change my name to ava gina

and then ask alex to get me some tampons.

 

[xfer]
