I want to tell you it was hand-crafted in Brooklyn, but I’m from Manhattan. Sad face :(

Half wrong...I am humorless grass.

”Involuntary celibates”. To say they’re misogynists is a bit of an over-simplification.

Engaging with the neverending sea of online herpes requires a deep well of what Spock described as “colorful metaphors”

I'm sending you thoughts and prayers, you sad little cum-filled tube sock.

Won’t somebody please think of the incels??

Sit down, pubescent child. The rest of us grew up.

That is dedication. Looks like I did get lucky.

Yep, reviewed the run-down (albeit briefly) a while back. The gist is that as long as the photos are of crowds and aren’t specifically focused on recognizable people, then it skirts acceptability. And in food establishments (ramen joints in my case) you ask the owners first. In that regard I did once catch someone’s…

I’ve never seen one in person, so I’ll defer to them. If they say it’s a mess, it’s a mess lol. Everything else was insanely specific.

I had no idea it was a popular photo spot (I’ve since seen hundreds of photos from that exact spot). The photo was taken 8 years ago, right when tourism saw an uptick, but not quite what it’s like these days (at least it didn’t feel like it). 11am? Ish. I think I was just lucky.

No, I know what “henshin” means. Maybe I shouldn’t have referred to “they” as henshin, and just stated it WAS henshin. Or just make life easier in general and write “maiko-henshin”.

No, the other guy was dismissed not because they disagreed, but because of tone. When offering an opposing opinion, it’s best not to make unneeded assumptions.

If people were to only ever ask their subjects permission to take photos, then street photography wouldn’t exist whatsoever. And Mr. Daguerre can go down in…

Lol it’s the term they used when I was schooled on the ways of the geiko/maiko. To quote those more knowledgeable than me..

Sorry, henshin can be a pretty broad term. In this regard, they’re most likely tourists dressed as maiko/geiko.

No the point was not to harass or mob them, but thanks. It’s being respectful towards them.

The few times I’d seen maiko or geiko, they’d be there one second and gone the next. I got a chance to take a photo once, quietly from behind and when there was no one around. But someone more familiar with geiko later said that they were probably henshin. Ah well...

I regret actually Googling that...

It was an unrealistic body image expectation that just wouldn’t fly in today’s society. I mean, just ask Lara Croft. They were forced to divide her chest into two distinct breasts. Different times man....

Not even hating, but it says something about our society that you thought my comment was serious.
