Negativity

[spoon9001]

So on the Doll community forum, Den of Angels, there's a user there that... well, I'm sure there are several like her, but she pops up in a lot of my threads of choice. If she doesn't like a doll, or a resin quality, or in this recent case an OUTFIT for a company-specific doll, Ooooh, it's AWFUL. STAY AWAY FROM IT. YOU'LL REGRET IT. THE DESIGNERS CAN'T DRESS THEMSELVES.

Specifically this outfit.
"Oooh but what about THAT outfit? OMG it's sooo 1940s. *head smack* You HAVE TO WONDER who DRESSES the DESIGNERS..."

Is that necessary? Really? Ok, you don't like it. It's fine to voice that, but do you really have to go that far? It's not like the fashion is bad, just... HOLY SHIT IT'S NOT MODERN/GOTH/PREPPY/TRENDY. AWWWWFUUUUULLLLLL!!!!!
FFS, I find the damn thing adorable. It screams Indiana Jones to me. :D

Do people just get off on being so judgmental and insulting? Cutting others down for having specific taste? I'm sorry; your opinion is not gold. Go pull the stick out of your ass and let others enjoy stuff as they want to.

*squees over Thumper*

She does. One girl wanted to buy one of the Limited resins from the same company, and it has a color-change reputation, and this brat jumps in, "OMG IF YOU GET THAT RESIN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP YOUR DOLL IN THE CLOSET FOR EVER JUST SAYING."

THAT'S HER DECISION TO MAKE!! Quit making up people's minds for them!! @_@

Haha, yeah... That very outfit would suit (HAHA PUN) a doll form of a buddy of mine who does enjoy dressing classically like that (or older, even.). If... I were creepy stalker and made a doll of this buddy of mine. >>;

...since when is 1940s an insult? I mean, 1990s, maybe but the 40s??? Clearly her logic is not our earth logic.

[rivetspoon.livejournal.com]

WELL SHE'S JUST FRUSTRATED WITH WHAT THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING OUT LATELY GOSH SHE DOESN'T THINK SHE'S BEEN INSULTING.

I swear to Bob...
(Don't diss the 90s, man! XD that's my era.)

[rosaleendhu.livejournal.com]

(Can I diss the early 90s? When they hadn't quite shaken off th 80s and people still thought florescents were cool? Pleeeease?)

[rivetspoon.livejournal.com]

(sure, that's fine. BUT in doing so you're dissing Japanese fashion! Sacrilege.)

[rosaleendhu.livejournal.com]

(I maintain that the Japanese have found a way to use those colors in a strangely tasteful manner. And it was sooo hard to resist spending money with Takuya Angel at PMX!)

*doesn't buy clothes from your closet*

Someone is insulting that outfit? Dude, more people (or bjd's) need to wear that kinda stuff.

Of course, I am biased when in comes to suits :|

[rivetspoon.livejournal.com]

Suits are awesome. I prefer uniforms, but suits can be pretty chic, too, obviously.

And apparently my "Then don't buy it" comment was "pretty rude" according to another user, but not "You have to wonder who's dressing these designers." WTF. o_O

Personally I think it's a cool outfit. I'm actually a little surprised at the fit of the damn thing. Then again I like styles from the early 1900's.

I think anywhere you go on the internet you'll run into those people. It seems like a lot of people just love coming out to complain or throw out their opinion as if it somehow makes a difference.
