Disturbing

This is slightly OT, but it's to do with Maclove... but very disturbing Maclove...

The following is a picture of an emo girl. An emo girl who apparently likes Macs, and has some problems. Warning: It's squicky, and if you are weak of stomach, don't look. I think she's taking the love for the Mac a bit far. But, it could prompt some plotbunnies somehow, so I thought I'd post it, since I thought of this comm when I first saw it.







If i've broken some sort of rule here, just tell me and I'll delete.

Someone on a forum I run was linked to it and posted it for us to see. I'm not laughing at it by the way, it's seriously effed up. But... I did immediately think "oh gosh, gotta show the mac_hearts_pc people this".

Why the hell would anyone do that?! I mean, I love my Mac, but I think it would rather I express that love with RAM (not like that, you filthy whores) rather than with being emo.

Her arm looks like she stuck it on a belt sander. D: I really hope there isn't some guy out there with the Windows logo carved on him!

All I can think is fucking ouch man. I can't handle a paper cut and she carved the fucking mac logo into her skin. WTF?! Hope she gets herself some help though, with all the cuts on the rest of her arm, she is obviously crying out for help.

It's awful that the first thing I thought was, "What a nice shade for her hair."

But yes, the girl needs some help. As a general rule, all the cutters I know who do designs and then show off how much they cut are making more "plz look at me!" than seriously, seriously disturbed. The disturbed ones always kept it a secret and told their close friends after they had already stopped.

... Sorry. Pet issue.

Yeah, *real* cutting is much more disturbing but I still find it disturbing to cut a logo into your arm and show it off.

I feel really naive now. I knew people cut themselves, but I didn't know that they actually cut designs.

April 15 2007, 20:15:58 UTC 5 years ago

THAT ROCKS SO MUCH!!!

Just goes to show that just because a person cuts herself doesn't mean she does it just for the pain. :) I know someone who scratched designs into herself when she was bored. They looked really awesome, all these vines and leaves on her arms and legs.

I mean, dude, look at people who get tattoos. I've heard tattoos hurt. Do they hurt more than cuts? She's dressed like a punk goth, and cutting is like a trend for them. Who knows, maybe most of the scars are from sex or something. Anyway, I just see the carved logo as a way of saying, "I love Apple so much!!!"

I wouldn't worry about her, she obviously has people who know what she's doing.

I can't agree with -everything- you said - the other arm scars are classic self-injury wounds, so I doubt they were from sex - but yes, scarification is its own breed of body modding. Me, I think it's neato if done right.

This girl, though...meh.

T___T As much as I hate that she (whoever that chick is) feels like she needs to cut herself, that's kinda cool.
I mean, not in a way like, omg I want to go cut a PC/Mac logo in my leg kind of way, but a, woah she thought of a Mac first and not a broken heart kind of way.

Everyone keeps saying, "she needs help", and "what a loser", and "its a cry for help".

I dont condone it at all. Anytime you intentionally harm yourself, you are being stupid. BUT... Is it REALLY any more "emo" than an angsty semi-Goth? Is it any more pathetic than all the losers claiming ocd and add, using it as an excuse to slack. Or how bout the people with their so called "depression" who think that just cause they are having a bad day, it gives them the right to be a bitch? Is it any more STUPID than going to a BDSM club and allowing someone to beat on you for an hour? Or sitting on a leash saying "yes mistress"?

We all do stupid things. Hopefully, she will grow out of it, sooner rather than later.

btw. Yeah, I like her hair color too. :-)

No it's no more stupid than those things- I consider those things just as stupid.

so what?

Seriously, I don't get it. Why does it bother you that someone used the Apple logo as a template for scaring, which, by the way, is one of the many types of body mod out there.

Re: so what?

Because when one also looks at her forearm, it makes a pretty good case against the idea that she cuts for artistic purposes. :/

Umm, I really don't have an issue with this. I mean yes a little disturbed but just because "YOU" can't see a reason to do something doesn't mean a valid reason isn't there.

I have never been a cutter, but pain can be really cathartic and enjoyable (I am not talking about sexually but yes that too.)

Is she really endangering herself? - I think not.
Is "this a call for help" or is she "a loser"? - maybe, maybe not She might see it as a form of commitment or a cleansing exercise or to get the attention of her peers. I knew people in high school who used to brand themselves with cigarette lighters. Smart or not it doesn't really do any real damage, you get a scar (scars are hot) and you get whatever else you want out of it.

For most people there is not enough incentive to do such a thing, but that does not make doing it pathetic. sure lots of people do silly things for poor reasons but compare cutting to smoking and I'll tell you all hands down which is stupider, more pathetic, more annoying and harmful (to both yourself and others) and yet cutting "very disturbed, how pathetic"/ smoking "they look kinda hot, I bet they're great at sucking".

Well...

Done properly, scarring is a perfectly acceptable form of body mod/art. It can be done safely and it doesn't always indicate emotional problems. It's not for everyone, of course, but neither are tattoos or piercings.

That said, this picture indicates one of two things. Either this girl really is emotionally disturbed on some level, or she's just fucking stupid. Cause, that does not look like it was done safely. But at the worst, it looks as bad as idiot kids that try to give themselves tattoos. Actually, self-applied tattoos could probably be more dangerous if you used the wrong kind of ink.

Whatever. It's her choice (though I find it disturbing and unhealthy.) It's fine as long as she (or any other cutter) wears sleeves in public. Just because they do twisted things in the privacy of their own home doesn't mean I want to see their nasty-ass "body art" in public. Nor would I want my children exposed to that if say, we were going to the mall, and this girl happened to be there.

Back in the '90s, I was actually shagging a dude for a few months who was a cutter and did, in fact, give himself 95 cuts on his forearm for, and I feel a little sad for even quoting this, "for the release of Windows 95".

He's fine. She'll be fine too. :)

This is a stretch of an explanation, but it's worth a try....

One theory for the reason Apple has the name and the logo it does is because it's a homage to Alan Turning- one of the fathers of modern computing. He was one of the world's greatest mathematicians and he practiced homosexual activity. Because this happened in the early 20th century, it was considered a crime and a mental illness. He was given the choice between going to jail or having hormone therapy. He chose the latter, and ended up with such bad depression he committed suicide by taking a bite out of an apple dipped in cyanide.

So the story behind the Apple logo, if it is actually based on Turning's story, is one of immense pain and suffering for something a man with a brilliant mind couldn't control.

That's one idea anyway...
