The sort of Morris dancing where they also black up, or the less shocking when you see people doing it in the middle of town one Saturday afternoon kind?

Is it any goonier than any other kind of folk dancing?

I would argue it's the relative newness of many of these subcultures that makes people :rolleyes: about it. There are plenty of order 'themed' weddings out there that nobody bats an eyelash over because the subject matter is more conventional.

In the interest of idealogical purity, and because I really feel this way, I think theme weddings are stupid too. Then again, my cousin's theme was vaguely "country" so the arbor was like made of unpainted wood and the bouquet was wildflowers. She didn't make the guests or even the wedding party dress in overalls or was their first dance a square dance. As ridiculous as this hypothetical kissin' country cousins wedding seems, at least it's not putting a popular culture property as the unifying factor of two peoples relationship. That is just plain loving bizarre.

FACTkin?

"I am really John F Kennedy. That guy that was the president of the US years before I was born. That person there is evidence existed in another time and place to now. Well that is me, and to suggest otherwise is racist."

This is textbook mental illness.

edit: Also what is the difference between Fictkin and Mythkin? Both are when you pretend/think you are something that doesn't exist. Fictkin is just that it was written by someone else and made into a story on TV or whatever, Mythkin is where it was made up by the collective unconscious like dragons and stuff?

I read factkin like "1+1=2" or "humans need to breathe to live" but am confused as to how you make that your identity.

You are saying that Factkin is "I am me. Inside of me, isntead of there being a wolf, or dragon, or pony it is actually me. Don't judge"?

Giving themselves a special snowflake label, but can't be arsed to pretend to be anything other than themselves?

Not the blackface, but they did have a Hobby Horse.

I think all folk dancing done by sysadmins is goony as hell, yes. If I'm in Tahiti and people are folk dancing for my tourist pleasure, they're awesome, but the MIT Morris Dancing Club can just gently caress off.

My favorite thing about them will always be watching something new and popular like Undertale come out and suddenly they're remembering about how they were all the fat skeleton in a past life, not actually their homestuck fantroll.

He's one of those dudes who plays Fallout or Elder Scrolls games and starts hoarding one kind of item. You watch him play over his shoulder and he goes into his in-game house and it's just stuffed full of troll skulls or some poo poo.

It's like that, but real.

You're racist
You're homophobic
You're a cis gay man
You don't believe that eating honey is bee theft
You don't like kittens because I post them a lot
You are factkin with one of the following: JFK, Sans the skelebob, Sugar Crisp bear, Scarlett O'Hara, JENOVA: Life (other JENOVAs are OK)

So, don't be a homophobe, but they hate gay men that were born men? The bee one says they saw Bee Movie and went "yea, that's right!"

Also, I want to see the story about not wanting people to follow if they think they're Sugar Bear.
