A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Wolverine or Freakboy?

    I wonder if it’s possible/feasible to track the IP of those who post to Modblog from external links? It would certainly make things more interesting for those that chose to flame from a static IP. Not quite as good as an address, but close.
    I find it interesting that not a single person has ever said anything like this to my face. The ability to post anonymously on a blog must be a lot like beer; it gives you the courage to voice the opinions that you would otherwise be too terrified to say.
    The world in changing every day. Two hundred years ago, women had next to no rights at all. Less than fifty years ago, inter-racial marriages were still illegal in most of the US. Homosexual marriages are now legal in Massachusetts, Canada, Spain, and one or two other countries. Fifteen years ago I would not have been able to find a job due strictly to my appearance. Now I work in an office on legal databases for a Fortune 500 company. It is likely that the world will continue to change, and that what is currently considered freakish will eventually become accepted (although not typical). Nothing remains the same forever; everything changes. If you can not accept that the world is changing, if you can not accept the changes, you will eventually be left behind, in the same way that sexism, racism and homophobia are being left behind.
    Mostly, I feel pity for the people who have written so many negative comments. With a closed mind, you cut yourself off from so many new and interesting experiences.

    i think your name says it all.

    i didn’t say having tattoos makes you more interesting. you obviously can’t read at all. i said that people who tend towards body modification tend to have a higher level of intelligence.

    and where did i say anything about people not agreeing with me? i said it was cowardly to sit behind a computer screen and make huge judgements about people. simple as that.

    so, please re-read my comments. nowhere did i say anything about tattooed people and neither did i say anything about people not ‘agreeing’ with me.

    as for your second comment – nope. not much skin left really.

    anyway, let’s see what you all look like.

    get out of the trailer, put your mom down for a minute and lets see the pictures. preferably ones where you are not hanging out of your mom.

    actually, my main problem with this whole thing was not the fact that people didn’t like what this guy had done at all.

    it’s just that there are ways of putting it…the tone, rather than the objection itself. such as ‘youre a faggot, kill youself’ for example.

    not exactly nice really. but again, i am still not sure how people are managing to extrapolate his sexuality from the photo.

    and no ink…you say the word ‘gay’ as if i would be offended…whatever gives you that idea?

    kudos to you for getting tattoos that are temporary. It’s certainly less painful and less expensive that conventional tattoos. And I like your choice of pastel colours too!! So cool!
