You don't like tattoos, Clothahump. We get it.

And that is the key difference which should be obvious to anyone.

I am ambivalent about tattoos. I was trying to think of any sort of tattoo that would make me leave a naked woman in the middle of some action. I am Jewish so the first thing that occurred to me was Nazi tattoos. Then I realized that the better move would be to fuck her brains out and then go for the reveal.

I love tattoos

I actually like tattoos, though there’s such a thing as too much. However, I despise the “tramp stamp.” Just a nasty bit of, err… tradition.

I am going to say not enough porn. As a licensed Love Doctor*, I’m going to write you a prescription for more porn.

A LOT more porn.

Limber up your hand.

*I can’t really back that up.

Yeah, at this point getting pissed at humpy for being a threadshitting asshole is like getting pissed at water for being wet.

That’s known as the “hate fuck.”

Can I get pissed at piss for being wet?

So, a gay guy with a crucifix tattoo would be his nightmare scenario.

You really are the king of deadpan humor. Good one!

How would you pull off the reveal? Myself, I’d go for shouting “L’chaim!” at the moment of climax.

Don’t forget the ram horn trumpet.

It’s nice to know that still another of the things I did in San Francisco last December dis-endeared me to Clothahump.

How did you know what I call it?

Wait, did you find God, too?

I thought it was common knowledge. You know, dick, rod, johnson, ram horn trumpet.

I’ve never understood why some people feel so incredibly strongly about tattoos. I could see not liking really big tattoos, or offensive tattoos, but the people who violently hate even the most innocuous little butterfly are beyond me. It’s such a weird thing to care that much about.

I have a small tattoo on my back that is covered 99% of the time and most people don’t know I have it. Every once in a while the topic of tattoos comes up and inevitably someone spouts off about how disgusting and terrible they are. I always let them go on for a while and then tell them that I actually have a tattoo, and I always enjoy the backpedalling that then occurs. I’ve never encountered someone who has continued to bad-mouth them after I revealed mine, and I suspect Clothahump (and others) are exaggerating greatly when they claim to act that way in real life. I think it’s probably an internet tough-guy act. There’s no way I believe that he really turned down sex with a pleasant girl that he really liked just because of a tiny tattoo.

Also, I’ve never seen a tattoo that looked anything like a suppurating sore.

It never actually happened. That’s what he thinks about doing whilst jacking off.

The strange thing is that while Clothahump has such a terrible reputation on this board (as this thread indicates) I’ve met him several times and he’s really a great guy in person. We don’t agree on politics but it’s never been an issue in any conversation we’ve had.

I’ve found this near-universally true. Mostly because the kind of person who wants to meet other people in real life and goes out of his way (i.e., to a Dopefest) to do it is usually not the kind of person who does it just to alienate people.

The distance created by usernames and text decreases the empathy of basically all communications online by a huge amount, because when you’re publishing an anonymous letter to an anonymous audience, it’s far easier to tell those idiots what you really thing, they aren’t probably even human.
