Who let this happen #97: We have come full circle 25 comments

Im not saying they are right to get involved, I'm saying it's oversimplistic. To use your modified example, if you went outside and were black, some people said some things. Maybe some people refused to let you eat or shop certain places etc. No one else needs to speak up and say it is wrong. Obviously if you had a problem you would stop them right? If your partner drinks and beats you, forces you to have sex, doesn't let you work or have friends- but you tell your family you love them and are happy, they should leave you be. It's your choice, there's no problem. Your spouse is happy, you are happy, you'd leave if you wanted right? So where's the line between forcing your views on others, and standing up against wrong? If all evil takes is for the good to stand and do nothing, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions?

It's all about "social norms." If you spend tons of money on Programming and dvds and what not to watch some tv show, memorize character names, get emotionally invested in the well being of total strangers and made up personas, buy the clothes and dress up as your favorite characters, travel long distances just to go to these big conventions where other fans go to dress up and watch and talk about all this; you decorate your house with all this stuff, overpriced pointless knick knacks you swear are "collectible" and "investments" posters of your favorite characters showcasing their bodies, often barely dressed or in their skin tight uniforms, and try to talk to total strangers about your little hobby- you are quite possibly a sports fan. It's all relative, we all have our hobbies. Society says some are cooler than others, but what's cool is being able to live a life where you enjoy what you want when you want. So to each their own.
