Because cutting yourself is sooooo cool and emo. Omgz, people who cut themselves must have like major emo issues and wear black and listen to dark depressing music. Omgz!!
Has TSR completely given up on any kind of standard system here or are they no longer a "PG" site?
Aha-ha, I have a mate who comes to exams with this necklace. I will suggest that she try the earrings as well, who knows, profs at the literature department might appreciate it.
I've worn one of these before, and it didn't cut me. They work differently than you might think. It's the center part that can cut you, not the straight rim on the outside.
And I'm not Emo. I just thought it looked cool. My razor is vintage anyway, it's like 50 or 60 years old, but it's still in good condition, no rust or anything.
i think they look pretty cool it doesnt mean you cut yourself if you wear razors as jewelry and its not associated with just "emo" kids, it can be associated with any tard that thinks pain will make their probs. go away besides get real people why the hell would someone PROMOTE self harm? really? people read to much into stuff and blow things out of proportion get over it its almost 2010 theres better things to worry about.
i don't think it's overreacting to be creeped out/grossed out by a chain w/ a bloody razor dangling from it. wearing bloody spots will NEVER be appealing to the masses
I am so tired of hearing things referred to as emo! We used things like this for jewelry and wore all black clothes but it was goth or punk. I hated the blanket terms as a teen and I still hate them now. It was an insult to those that were really into the goth scene or punk scene. Yes those are 2 totally different styles though some seem to not understand it is one thing to copy a style it is another to live a certain way. Before us I am sure others did similar but had a different name for it. The one with blood is part of the set because some will like that others will use them without blood.
Sheesh people get worked up over content for a game! I imagine some of you are offended by having realistic and gender specific nude skins as well, to each their own. If you don't like it or find it offensive don't download it. I highly doubt the rest of us need to hear you take offense to an object. How about tell us if it works & how it looks in game. I am downloading the set and will make sure if they suck or don't work to come point that out right away!
As the parent of a child who cut herself, this bothers me. But I guess it is just a game...but I won't download it and I hope most people realize that its not a good thing in real life.
i get what the creater was trying to do, but adding blood to one of them is defiantly insinuating. - I agree. o.o I honestly wouldn't have connected it to cutting or emo if they hadn't made that one. I know it's beating a dead horse, but for those who think people are overreacting, if you know someone who self harms (or are acquainted with it) you'd probably think along the same 'oh god no what in the world is this' lines too.
It's always good when you have a choice, didn't it? That's why I've made three variations of textures. Personaly I prefer plain(in center), but still, different people - different tastes. I didn't thought that bloody one will cause so much displeasing.
Why do you think that blood is concearned only with suicide and emo? That's polysemantic symbol. Anyway, symbols remain just symbols. You are too worried about their meanings. That's just earings IN FORM OF razors, not a real razor to cut yourelf, and it didn't mean to be it.
So if I'll make a Celtic Cross (and i'm going to do it) will you se it's cocerned with fascist Germany or a war or something else to say your valuable pish?
Look up fashion history. I am was a teen in the seventies and the razor fashion, necklaces, earrings, belts, clips for shoes, were the rage. It symbolized for me "I will cut a bitch" even tho the items were dull and had no function. Nope wasn't into punk either, wasn't allowed in "da hood"! LOL!
I like them, Annihilation. Perfect scale and look great. Thanks, now I can make some "Shiv Bitches" in my game.

^Get help or remove yourself from the gene pool, post haste. And this is an old thread so I'm guessing nobody will be bawwing about how "mean" I am. I'm not mean, I'm honest. And cutting yourself is retarded.
I really dont think this associated with the "emo" style. This is an old style. Besides not all "emo" people cut themselves. && not everyone who wears dark makeup, && wear tons of black are "emo". Im not "emo". Btw, anyone heard of "scene kids"? My friends(who are more or less "scene") would go gaga over this. I like 'em! ;)
woah hardcore
ReplyDeleteo_o seriously, this is a bit...absurd
ReplyDeletelol, actually, that's awesome and perfect for my story. I'm sure I can find a character who'd wear razors as jewelry.
ReplyDeleteyeah that is a little weird.
ReplyDeleteWouldnt it constantly cut you?
Ouch.
ReplyDeleteEh.. emo much? XD
ReplyDeleteThat's really odd.
ReplyDeleteEmois Maximus

ReplyDeleteI didn't actually made them as Emo Accessories. Personaly I don't apreciate their kind of hm.. style.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, rasors aren't hard-linked only with suicide, I saw some not-suicidal and adequate (in some extent)) punks and goths wearing them.
seriously creepy
ReplyDeletei'm not into any type of emo style, but strangely enough i sort of like the pendant
ReplyDeletehiya rose has updated with a hat and a donation hair i think :_)
ReplyDeleteyou people need to get off your damn high horse, it's just razors jesus. Over reacting much, wow.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could, Lunar. :P
ReplyDeleteI think I can find someone who could wear this in my story as well.
I'm surprised to see this on TSR and though it's not my kind of thing, it looks well made going by the picture alone.
ReplyDeletei don't think it's overreacting to be creeped out/grossed out by a chain w/ a bloody razor dangling from it. wearing bloody spots will NEVER be appealing to the masses
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Anon above.
ReplyDeleteI think they're neat but they're kinda unsettling at the same time :)
ReplyDeletemight DL the earrings, I think they're neat like that
Yay for new nonfloral necklaces!

ReplyDeleteeeewwww bloood that is emo
ReplyDeleteoh god........
ReplyDeletelmfao, people dont even know what emo is or isn't anymore. Didn't know accesories could be "emo". Do they cry too?
ReplyDeleteFor fuck's sake it's just pixels.
Actually it's just vertices and polygons))
ReplyDeleteGeez to many little kids on this site
