Good, i'm glad we're clear on that point.

I get your point, and fair enough, it is just my opinion. My one opinion alone doesn't make it so. However the concept of 'ridiculous' is one that is wholly defined by opinion. The more opinions in agreement there are, the more that concept creeps towards fact. That's how I see it. It's not something that you can simply rail against to have removed from society. For a start, doing so would undermine both freedom of speech and a lot of comedy.

But I am NOT harming her. Have I gone to this girl and face-to-face told her I think her clothes suck? Sent her an e-mail? No. As I stipulated, I wouldn't. And if, IF, IF! she were that sensitive, she probably wouldn't be wearing it in the first place. People don't dress to stand out and not expect to get feedback. Some do it precisely for the negative commentary.

Is she harming you by dressing that way? Is she harming you by thinking she is beautiful in that dress? You can say you don't like it. You're expressing your opinion freely, without agreeing with her's. But sorry, you can't categorize it "ridiculous" and claim that "half the world" agrees.

No she's not harming me, but then she didn't seek my opinion on it. You did. I like how you almost perfectly quoted yourself in 1) and utterly misquoted any given opinion in the thread for 2). Don't exaggerate our views to fit your argument. And again, you can't tell me which opinions I am allowed to voice or not. As for "half the world", for god's sake, stop putting words in my mouth. I said I was not alone in thinking so. There's certainly more than one opinion in this thread that concurs with mine, so in that I am accurate. So far, you're actually in the minority. You're the only one who disagrees that the outfit is awful.

I'm curious; do you actually think this look flatters her? You said you don't like it, but you've not said if you think it suits her or not. Either way, perhaps all we can do is agree to disagree. I think it's ridiculous, you think we shouldn't say anything one way or the other so as not to offend anyone. Each to their own, right?

Apology accepted.
edit: Just checked the link and if it IS a cosplay, then that kind of skews things a little. The outfit should be judged on accuracy instead, as anime characters are rarely conventional and often ridiculous by general observational views. Maybe this is how the character dresses.
