      Exactly. We never agreed to put that guy in charge of the building; he just inherited it!

  • She makes much more sense when you undo the mirroring whichever dipshit created this did. The backwards texts in crazy fonts were breaking my brain.

    I appreciate the commitment in both cases. Whoever climbed out to do the graffiti at the top of the building had some guts.

    Call me whatever you want, but like anything else, too much of a good thing is bad for you.

        Dispose of your body as you choose but there is a very fine line that parts complimenting from exagerating. The girl in the photo, for me, is already on exageration territory.

        Too much ink, with too many tattoos, with no connecting theme, and taking up areas where ink - again, for me - just doesn’t sit right, like hands and throat.

        But because opinions are worth nothing, this is all hot air escaping mouths.

    Why is it always femme people this bullshit is directed at? Why aren’t the hyper masculine tattooed manosphere influencers ever chastised for their jingoistic tribal alt right nazi sigils engraved on their bodies?

      I don’t see any nazi iconography in the image OP posted, can you point them out to me?

        If you are talking about graffiti on buildings then you haven’t been to Frankfurt if you’ve not seen nazi imagery

          Lemmy cannot handle abstract reasoning. If you change the scenario at all to make a point, they shit circuit

            We really didn’t need to bring the “criticizing our community in the third person” farce over from reddit. You are Lemmy too, and I suspect you can handle abstract reasoning, yes?

              It’s a common way to illustrate a point, by describing it with other variables.

              Your reply is telling lol

            I’m not bothered by the amount of tattoos. I’m bothered by the nazi swastika front and center. I would be just as bothered if they were just wearing a nazi arm band or Trump hat.

              You’re pretty close to the point.

              The point is that it’s subjective, and given the right content or quantity, it looks bad to you.

                No, I think I’m on the point. I don’t care about other people’s appearances and I don’t care to subject other people to what I think self respect looks like. I’m bothered by what their morals are and how they’re going to make that my problem. Nazi tattoos mean that person wants to make life worse for other people. I’m not bothered by the dye, but by the ideas they represent. The woman in the picture doesn’t have any hate symbols that I recognize.

                  You find the tattoos distasteful for a reason of your own. I share such a reason, but it’s your own. Therefore you find the display graffiti-like: a blight on the visual landscape (in that interpretation of grafatti)

                  Edit The significance of Nazi iconography being distasteful is an easy one, and that’s why it was used as an alternative display to prove the point.

          I was applying the claim to something else

          What are you applying the claim to?

          Why the reference to illegal Nazi iconography in Frankfurt? The building posted looks to me to be in the contiguous US.

          You posted an image of a person’s mugshot who has a swastika on their forehead and I assumed you were conflating their tattoos to the person in the original image of this post.

            People with nazi tattoos

            I thought you might not have known racist graffiti existed

            Oh no, nothing about her. Just the “Tattoos = graffiti, guys” part was applied to the person I posted

            The building is most likely in São Paulo. Not that it matters for for the point you’re making :)

    Graffiti is a spectrum: on one hand, you get beautiful murals that add something to the structure, making it more than what it was.

    On the other hand, you get dicks and swastikas.

    Tattoos are the same way. There’s a difference between someone having a beautiful sleeve done and someone who has TRUMP tattooed on their forehead.

      I was stuck at some train tracks in my area, and some of the graffiti on the trains left a gap around the safety information about weight limits and such.

      Not all of them did. Those that didn’t had to be painted over and re-written, but only the safety section. They left the rest alone.

      There was some mutual acceptance happening on both sides of the effort that warmed my heart.

        As a graffiti enthusiast, I can say that is definitely part of “the rules”. Graffiti has a code of conduct, depite it appearing like anarchy. Many new writers are ignorant of it. Don’t tag:

        • Personal property
        • Places of religion
        • Memorials
        • Shipping or cargo data (like those train cars)
        • Places that are kept clean/painted (it’s going to get covered frequently)
