a note about 'flashy' clothing (sign its petition)

That's not going to happen. We'd all end up wearing nothing but full-body tarps, and then we'd argue about the colour we should be using.


That's a jerk move. If someone's bothered by something, the response shouldn't suddenly be "oh, I'm going to do it more, but louder".

Oh, I could see this leading to an interesting potential outcome, especially coming from a species that does not have clothing at all.

If its clothing is flashing then it probably bothers this one.

This also goes for anything that exposes any skin whatsoever.


Then they could all wear tarps that are mostly of a dull brown.




It really expects nothing less from that one.


This one is not naked if that is what it is implying.

Do you also take issue with asari and salarian skin colors?

Okay, we're going to have to disagree here. I'm not saying people should be allowed to just meander around naked (although...), but the Citadel is 'home' for all of us as a galaxy, we should all feel as welcome as any other, and all give a little ground to each other in turn.

(Besides, I can be 'objectionable' even if I do have to wear a tarp. Did a stage show on that concept once - fancy decorative cloth rather than tarp obviously, but entirely covered. Went down a treat. Actually it's been a while since I worked on something like that, I might revive it for the next festival.)

I can get behind the flashing thing if it causes health issues for hanar, but now you've crossed the line. People should be free to wear what they want within reason. I get it that people shouldn't wear something that's a fucking light-show that blinds and irritates everyone within a twenty yard radius, but blocking any exposed skin is going too far. Where do we draw the line? I have a dress that exposes my midriff and back, is that too much? Or maybe one of my service shirts that exposes my arms?
Hell, maybe I should start dressing like a nun, would that meet your approval?

I'm not signing your petition, fascist.

Even if it's him and the demands are clearly not reasonable?

What he's saying has implications. Wearing heavy or binding clothing that traps moisture, when you're already working in an environment that is entirely too wet, is really bad for drell health.

Drell, and especially drell who already have a diagnosis, should be showing a fair amount of skin. It's in recommendations to Kepral's patients-to wear loose clothing that leaves the chest uncovered to prevent moisture buildup.

I think I need to be louder thank you.

...THIS HANAR IS A TERRIBLE SENTIENT BEING.

But the request isn't for that, it's talking about shirts that are made up of giant flashing lights.

The petition is ridiculous for what it's asking, but the complaint that started this thread is not what you're trying to argue it is.

Harrad, did you read that part:


Your a weirdo, humble. I am unsigning this as soon as I find out how.

You believe he's sincere? 'Cause I don't. The shirts he's complaining about tend to be worn by drell, because most drell are primacy and want to wear things that riff on their own damn culture, and he immediately tried to ratchet it up when he got the tiniest bit of support.

There are some hanar who will push you and push you and push you and when they start, you have to slam your foot down right away. I have made that mistake before.

Okay, this thing started off as bullshit, and has now moved into the level of utter bullshit. I get if the shirts caused seizures or something (can hanar get those?), but from what I can find, they're just annoying. Like how mixing spots and stripes are annoying and hurts my eyes a bit if I look too long. Annoying, maybe in poor fashion sense, but not my place to ban.

But seriously, "anything objectionable"? Do you realize how vague that is? My tattoos could count as that! And I'm more inclined to believe a drell over a hanar about a drell health issue. I mean, their skin absorbs moisture or something, right? I know it's something about being adapted to live in an area with little to no humidity, and needing their skin to breathe as a result. (If I'm wrong, feel free to yell at me)

It will have to file a report with the site owners including a statement as to why it wishes to have its name removed from the petition and also any identifying paper work to prove that it is who it says it is. Then, in a standard week, its name shall be removed from the petition if they so incline.

It of course request it (and others) do not do this and ignore the continually hysterical drell that plagues all of its threads.


This one is getting what it assumes others call a 'headache'

Me too. Gods around us.

We didn't need Kayana to consider your initiative bullshit. Your made it clear that you like your definition of offensive as wide and easy to interpret as possible. That's how we get people imposing their standards on others. No thanks.

Hey Taleeze, Before you unsign maybe leave a comment on the petition's page, detailing exactly what this is for, to try and avoid others falling for it? Only signers get to comment there apparently.

Yeah, you won't steal my name for this trap. Where's a hacker when you need one.

I get headaches from clashing colors. I get headaches from stripe patters (especially with spots or combined with the clashing colors problem) but you know what I do about it? I don't do shit.

Why? Because it's just a minor inconvenience. It's just something that annoys me for a bit, and then goes away. I can tell what's going to bug me so I fucking look away. You're being a drama queen and an ass.
