Because calling someone (or in her case, the girl's sense of fashion) ridiculous is extremely deteoriating.
I can't just agree with the way you (and alot like you) think @ this particular subject.
But well, yeah. Different people different opinions.

Seems just like a different view of the word then really. I never thought of 'ridiculous' as being harsh at all, in fact I think it's quite a mild term, but then I guess it's all down in how you interpret its meaning.
This turned into quite an interesting discussion. It really sums up the difficulties with getting into alternative fashion well and how tricky it is to see the lines between something socially acceptable, and what will just set you up for ridicule and what else again will offend people.
Sorry if we bored you Koir, I didn't realize you'd been involved in the thread before now. Feel free to jump back to the OP's question anytime you like.
