Let's discuss: Farbism!

-shakes head- 

Lord have mercy, why did Curt field (general grant) have to bear with this guy. The amount of research Curt did, it's bit rude to show up like that next to him.  But hey the man got a good heart, good ol Curt.

[Riddlez]

He looks like he's tryong too be Russell Crowe.

That Grant is pretty bloody good

Damn sucka, that's a train wreck.

[Mr T]

Eeeeew, looks like he's taken several shrapnel to the face and they couldn't get em out.

Seriously that's bad

[joer5835]

And people seriously see this as beauty....to each his own I guess.

[Mr. Kochi]

Dear god. You know, I don't really mind piercings that much, but that's taking it to an extreme.

I fail to see how can some people do that to themselves.

An example of farbism? How fucked as a society have we become?
You say you don't think being fat is being a farb. You don't say being a woman is being a farb, because that is who you are.
So this is not being who you are? Shame on you, folks, all of you.

"Yes, but piercings are a choice!" Being fat is a choice as well, if you truly want to be that guy.
This is someone being himself. A re-enactor, with piercings. As a re-enactor, you're at least some sort of weird group, to the rest of our society. This man has taken this to the next level. What if everything he does, his entire uniform and his way of going about is 100% historically accurate? Would he still be a farb?

"Yes, but in the ACW/NW, people just weren't like that." People generally weren't fat as well. But people are now.


Let's not judge someone at who he is, but how he does instead?
This immediately stamping it as farbism is outright disgusting.

You can take a piercing out for an event. you cant cut away your fat that easily.

Besides, it is just looking horrible, sorry. It is a form of farb..

On top of the piercings he's got chains, feathers hanging form his earrings. He looks like a pirate. It actually looks like it's part of his impression, not just his personal style. In that sense he's very farby.

Guys ignore riddlez, he's not a reenactor, he just doesn't understand reenacting at all.

Do I seriously have to dig up about 20 comments posted by a number of people that you can just shut the fuck up with that bullshit?

[Olafson]

My point was, that he can take this stuff off. This is something you can easily take off whenever you want. Why did he not do it for that event?

I don't have problems with people being overweight, or women in the line, but this is stupid. He could at least have taken off that necklace around his neck. And where the heck is his tie/cravatte/however you call it in english?

There is difference between being overweight or a female, or using clothing that isn't made out of 100% correct wool and this. This is something extremely obvious, and something that can be avoided extremely easily, without spending any additional money on anything. Just take that shit off.
