The only thing is it is big and distracting. But your original sig is also very big and distracting. I'd say they both suck, but that would just be trollish. As it is , no I am not offended.

You had a kirby sig? I was more jokingly refering too the SF sig you had about not doing drugs.

I saw the Russian beheading neck slit video at one of my friends houses. Was pretty graphic, but nothing I couldn't handle. They were almost puking, but I wasn't. Geuss I'm a sick fuck, huh?

Yeah I'll agree with trustcompany on those grounds. However I voted yes simply because I really don't wanna look at a slit throat everytime I read one of your posts =/. Yes I could turn off sigs, but that seems silly simply to avoid this one sig.

I'd also prefer not to see it.... Its not really offensive, so much as it is unpleasant to look at. I actually have an adverse reaction to blood *gasp!* so I'm sure I'm in the very small minority here. But its up to you. Its a free country (mostly).

10-18-2004, 02:18 PM
I don't find it offensive. I just don't like it much. Things are very rarely too graphic for me, and this is not one of those things. It just in general kinda 'meh', and an image i'd prefer not to see often.

Not offensive or too graphic for me, but for a forum that can potentially include a 12 year old, I'd say it's not really appropriate. I'm not gonna blast you though if you decide to use it. Censorship is bad!! :)

10-18-2004, 02:54 PM
If it wasn't for the open wound I would't have a problem.

Personally I don't see it as a big deal if it was a pic, but as a sig that will reopeat again and again it'll just get gratuitous.

Punq, I like it. I think it's pretty cool, and there are worse sigs on this site (by far). It's cool of you to ask the people, but if you wanna use it, just do so.

soulyogurt
10-18-2004, 04:04 PM
Personally, I find it too graphic for a public forum, and offensive. It's the sort of stuff that would obligate me to keep my children from visiting the site. And something that's likely to cause me to visit much less often. As it is, I'm turning of sigs because I simply don't want anyone to see that kind of crap over my shoulder. I feel like I'm visiting a smut site sometimes. Not that there is anything wrong with smut, or graphic depictions of violence (I'm not saying it's right, either... that's another topic), but it's certainly not what I come here for.

Marines920
10-18-2004, 04:10 PM
I don't find it offensive. I find it quite troubling though... you want to go around slitting people's throats? It doesn't say a lot about your personal character. When I see it, I think to myself. "This dude is not very mature and he's quite gross."

Oh well.. this is all coming from someone that lacks an avatar and a sig.

zionoverfire

I don't really like it, but when has anyone cared what I thought?

punqsux
10-18-2004, 07:04 PM
well yes seems to be winning, but almost no one that was offended posted that they were??!?

as for the people that said "if you have to ask, it is" i OBVIOUSLY know its a graphic picture. there no questioning that. even tho the throat is from a costume make up kit, theres no way to tell with the way i belw the contrast out. i was asking if it was too graphic for people to deal with.

i dont care if people "dont like it" because theres a TON of avatars and sigs that i dont like, you just deal with it, its who that person is...but i was asking rather if it honestly and truley was too graphic and offensive for people.

i mean a sig someone dosent like is one thing, but if someone had DLF's man-boobies as their sig, i wouldnt be able to handle that. so in the same vein ^^

zewone
10-18-2004, 07:13 PM
Ok. I would find it too graphic if I had to keep seeing it over and over again. And with over 5000 posts I would probably see it a good amount of time and be disgusted about it. One time I can deal with but seeing it a lot is something I don't want to see.

Derwood43
10-18-2004, 07:16 PM
I personally don't want to have to see it everytime you post. I watched one of those beheadings (big mistake). Now, everytime I see or hear something like that, I'm immediatley taken back to that video.

I won't say that you can't use it, but it's just not P.C. right now.

I'm going to say yes. There are ways around it, I could always turn off sigs...but I'd rather not.

I'd be more concerned about the others on the site. Some of them are younger and I'm sure they can handle it but some might be grossed out by it.

Go back to Kirby! :D

Hey "thatstoobad", too bad you can't appreciate females. Maybe you like guys instead. You sound like to me that you like guys. Check out my friend Aria Giovanni and I together. We hang out sometimes when we are both in town at the same time. "That's too bad" your life is not as good as mine Mr. I know every thing about music.......Sincerely, Adriel

well, i was referring to the "anime" part, because the sexualization of animated characters creeps me out, but whatever dude. it rules that you still actually care.

i don't want to bum everyone out by going on and on towards you, but c'mon, can any of you really blame me?

so go ahead and post pictures of yourself with aria giovanni, where, i might add, you look really sweaty and kind of uncomfortable, almost like you just met her or something. do you always walk around with a pass of some sort on your belt? that's not exactly how friends stand, but whatever. i won't question anything, becuase i'm sure you didn't just meet her at some sort of event or anything. i just appreciate that you can find the time in your glamorous life to come here and tell me all about it.

and, just in case anyone was confused, i was just teasing mr. punqsux about brand new. moreso, i'm sure he didn't take it personally (unlike some other people around here).

EDIT: interesting what a quick google search can turn up:

You forgot one major thing ...It's ME in the pictures with her. I don't care what random person you can find on the net....My pictures have ME in them. Here's one where she looks a little more comfortable... my girlfriend is one of Aria's friends.

two things:

1. interesting that the second picture that you posted is still essentially the same as the first, which proves nothing.

2. for someone who is supposed to be exciting and/or really cool, you totally need to get a life.

even if you are telling the truth (which i don't honestly believe), it doesn't matter, and i'm not really sure why you think it does. i mean, can you really be that cool if you are on here bragging about being in some crappy band or bragging about who you may (or may not) be friends with? that's not very cool, it's not very rock and roll to be name dropping on a video game message board. in fact, if you really are telling the truth, you should probably be embarassed. my suggestion to you is that you stop making these silly posts and get over yourself.

i bolded that paragraph because i think you may have missed it.

i could go on, and point out that the picture of you where you are giving the camera the finger (which is about as rebellious and punk rock as ashley simpson) is not from the same day as the pictures you posted with the aria girl, because you have on different clothes and your hair is different, but that's not really necessary, is it?

although i'm tempted to go further and say some more about you or your band, i won't bother, because it doesn't matter. all i will say is that you need to worry less about what people think of you, less about trying to impress people with who you know or what band you're in, and worry more about rock and roll, because that's what it should be about.
