“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.
Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.
There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.
If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.
You and I have very different definitions of the words “actually”, “heard”, and “say”. You’re projecting.
OP’s response makes perfect sense. It looks to me like you’re playing the semantics game to dunk on them because you don’t like their opinion, though.
I didn’t say I don’t like their opinion, I’m entirely indifferent to their opinion. You can check if you want, votes are public if your tech-savvy enough to find them (I’m not or I’d link). I don’t even have tattoos, but other people having them doesn’t affect me in any way. The sentence was in quotes, so I asked if they had “actually heard someone say” that statement and they equivocated. 🤷♂️ I thought the question was pretty explicit in what it was asking, but they still managed to answer a different question.
I just don’t get why you’d constrain your question like that when “Do you think my tattoo is cool?” could be implied in the interaction because, like you said, people don’t talk like that. But people do mean it when they’re fishing for compliments. So you’re unnecessarily asking them to justify what could be interpreted a different way without conflict in meaning just like OP said. That’s what looks to me like you’re attempting some gotcha question after being given a reasonable answer.
I didn’t constrain my question, that implies I had a different question that I changed. I asked the question I was interested in hearing an answer to. Op chose not to answer that question, so I speculated as to why that was. I was honestly curious if they had heard someone say the thing they put in quotes. That’s all. Arguably every social media post is just someone seeking validation, so that non-answer “example” rang extra hollow for me. Especially when my question was so unambiguous.
Op can link to validation-seeking tattoo post so we can see it in full context
@[email protected] is posting here literally looking for validation. They’re looking for likeminded people who share their unpopular opinion. They are literally acting against themselves which makes this whole post, and themselves, even more ridiculous.
Sorry, but I don’t see it.
