[QUOTE="android, post: 2125354, member: 1136"] Well, it's good to see that you're able to do things you like without worrying about what other people think. Oh.. wait... apparently the approval of the "normal world" is required before you do something you enjoy. Personally, I do my best to prevent other people--who have no interest in me or my life whatever--be involved in determining my happiness. When you start letting other people dictate what you do in your life, be it for fun or anything else, you lose out on being yourself. Instead, you are being what some artificial jury has determined is the proper thing. If it's not your bag, that's fine. But just say that. To go on and on about how you won't do it because other people think it's weird. Well guess what... I think you're weird! Oh no! What will you do now? You don't have the approval you so deperately need! From now on, I will defer to you on all questions about what D&D is or is not, seeing as you are the new authority on the subject. It's not a misunderstanding of reality. You're already pretending to be someone you're not. How did you develop the opinion that clothing is beyond your rather arbirtrary line of reality and fantasy? Somehow the fact that you are pretending to be a race that doesn't even exist is less strange than putting on a cloak to look more like the human being you are pretending to be? I think you're got some analyzing to do on this subject because the opinions you espouse are flawed based on your own actions. [/QUOTE]
