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.
