Straight-up Snuggles y0

Are these famous people?

No SG, its more of a cultural joke. They're "gangsta" types...but yet they're snuggling on a subway, very ungansta of them. I think its cute!

Me too. Gay or stright it's a cute photo. Glad I wasn't missing a specific reference.

I didn't know what to say about this picture, because it makes me mad it's even commentable or remarkable in any way.

but I will say we don't know the whole story. Maybe they're brothers and have just come from the hospital where they've sat at their mother's deathbed for 18 hours.

But I certainly would not care if they were just tired boyfriends, either.

Calm down Cloud. A strong, basic tenet of urban Black culture is how "tough" or "strong" you look and act. And so yes it is somewhat remarkable to see two young men who are looking the part not acting the part.

it's a stupid, harmful tenet

They all gayngsta, 'n shit.

So you're calling black urban culture "stupid"?

They look very UN gangsta. They look like any of 100's of high school kids around here.
What makes them "Gangsta" - their skin color? Fuck that bullshit.

What does "gangsta" look like, then? And I mean in the "urban black culture" sense, not the actual gangbangers.

Its a fashion trend Cloud, just like emo, goth, prep or whatever. Gansta is supposed to be tough and menacing, and they are not. They aren't to me anyway, but I'm still gonna make fun of them for breaking the rules of their image. Hell, I'm gonna make fun of their image anyway. It has nothing to do with their skin color to me. Its just clothes, so stop foaming at the mouth.

It does seem incongrous with the image most usually associated with that particular fashion choice. Good on them.

:lol: Nicely worded

Isn't it though?

There are plenty of white kids wearing the same clothes and they aren't "Gansta" either.

For one thing, Gangsta would have a heck of a lot more bling, not one stinkin lil necklace.

I'm not sure what you have as gangsta, but what I see here is a much different thing. Lots of bling, nowhere near as clean looking - more rough and tough ... not as easy to describe as I thought. but that sure as hell ain't it - not around Philly anyway.

This is more of what Gansta looks like IMO.

That's . Or Lite if you prefer.

Why they aren't in a cell somewhere?

These two will rob the first weak-kneed caucasian they see, y0 :3_eyes:

I was asking the Queen. I really don't expect a response.

Jesus Fucking Jumped Up Christ On A Pony. Can we just look at the picture, go "Heheh", shut the fuck up, and go the fuck on?

No. The entire world does not share your exact opinion of what is humor, or sad, or gangsta, or stupid. OR PROPER.

Three sentences telling someone that they're wrong will not change a goddamned thing. But, it will suck the humor right out the fucking window.

Don't expect a reply too soon - she has a wedding to plan.

You're out of your gourd.

It's a funny picture. Period.

Yes yes yes racist implications abound, but c'mon. IT'S FUNNY :D

/OG

Nope.
I didn't find it funny.
Coming to it with no prior knowledge whatsoever I found rather sweet.

And not worth its own thread.
