I couldn't really imagine taking a bento to work or really anywhere outside unless the tops were super secure(the ones i've seen just sorta sit on top of the box and don't really seal). I walk all over town and take the bus/lightrail everywhere so I could see one of those things getting all jumbled or falling out of place by lunchtime.

mine seals pretty tight and it has an elastic band that keeps it secure.  the lid is also an ice pack.  i think mkk and HZ got the same kind i have.

JMickle there was name calling read a few pages back instead of repeating yourself. "Gargantuan asshole" being an example.

you're just like goldenratio. you don't give a shit about other people's feelings. and you're a total hypocrite, calling people out for supposedly attacking goldenratio needlessly and then DOING THE EXACT SAME.

You don't know me, so don't make assumptions about my character. And yet again you've resorted to a furious tone when you're talking about feelings and I've done nothing of the sort to you. Try talking in a civil manner.

Honestly I kind of had that image of MKK also (don't ask why, maybe from all the fighting or whatever in GW's past) and I think it's a pretty fair assumption to think it's cultural fetishism if you don't know anything about Bentos.

ok, ok.

1) yeah my original post and basically every one after that was needlessly abrasive. Dunno why. Bad judgement call.

2) Yes, calling anyone an attention whore is a pretty shit thing to do. I do want to say that, while "attention whore" probably did (and should) bother her, I just mean my original post wouldn't have bothered her, but it might have, so sorry. I did try to avoid specifically saying "attention whore" at first because it's a mean phrase, but I did say "attention getting thing" because it seemed that way. But either way, sure, it was a shit thing to do.

3) Yes I don't think it's everyone's fault for getting mad at my shitty post. I don't think I ever implied that my first post wasn't abrasive and shitty. I was just commenting on how out of control it got over saying "bento box dumb".

4) Yeah. I never tried to stick up for my post, but that doesn't mean the backlash wasn't lopsided. I feel like it was an overreaction, not because "I am correct" but because it's obviously an overreaction?

But ok. Everyone, honestly I didn't mean to shit up a perfectly nice thread. Sorry to everyone. It was a nice thread before I got asshole on everyone. Sorry, to everyone. Especially mkk.


Also I just want to really quickly that Afura is right, you guys came back at me 10x harder than I came at MKK. It was like a bunch of bipolar people suddenly flipping out on me. My first post, the one that started FUCK YOUs and stuff, was not that bad. Way overreacted. I apologized, and I meant it, so I feel like it's ok to say that you guys overreacted. I should have backed off more quickly.


i deal with a lot of Real Life Bigotry too dude, that doesn't make shitty stuff said to me feel any better.  it's just adding more shit to the shitpile.
But what does this have to do with anything? I never said anything to you, you started telling me to go fuck myself for something I said to someone else because I insulted precious bento? I know you're sticking up for MKK but she's a grown up, she can do it herself. Don't take what I said to someone else personally, at least not about something like bento fucking boxes. If I said something misogynistic to her or whatever, sure, I would deserve that, but I didn't. You just fucking butted into a conversation and then pretended like everyone was talking about you. Sticking up for women's rights is excusable. A bento box? No.


maybe, gr shouldn't have made dozens of stupid posts asserting that his pride is more important than other people's feelings.
You are reading way too much into this. My pride? Like I honestly care about pride, how do you even come to that conclusion? But anyway, I posted 9 times. 9. Not "dozens". In fact my 9 posts were interspersed between your and vellfire's double- triple- and quadruple-posts. You guys had literally dozens of posts. This feels like an episode of the twilight zone, where everyone is a bipolar manic depressive schizoid but they're all accusing me of being a bipolar manic-depressive schizoid. All over bentos. You can say it's about calling someone an attention whore, but that was a later post. You guys literally started jumping on me because I said bentos are dumb and so is saying kawaii. But you guys are forgetting that, conveniently, and instead pretending like this whole thing started because I called everyone a faggot and and attention whore. I'm seriously wondering how you guys manage to interact with other people in real life...
yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

I mean yeah this must be all my fault. I even tried my best to placate the situation at first by explaining to him specifically why people are calling it a "bento box" and not a lunch box. I tried explaining to him that it's just a fun lil hobby they have. he could've said "oh OK" but no. he had to go attack everyone for having the GALL to call him out on being an asshole to mkk for no reason. and now afura is defending him because poor old goldenratio, who believes mkk is a weeaboo attention whore and hasn't apologized for it despite all, had his feelings hurt.

forgive me for not shedding any tears.

Oh you're right, I'm wrong about you. You do care about people. You care about people who call others weeaboo attention whores for no reason and then refuse to apologize when people call them out on it.

Try talking in a civil manner.
Try understanding what's going on here.

no offense but you guys seem like you're eating "bento box" just for the sake of doing it.

a big part of bento making is arranging things tightly so that they don't move around.  mine have been kind of loose since i don't have to worry about that, but yeah if you're taking a bento with you you have to plan it to where things don't move much.

you were doing so great. you apologized for everything. you swallowed your pride. you did everything that was needed to end this situation.

and then you had to go and say "but I'm right anyway" (using afura as proxy)

Yeah, "you guys" like mkk and her friend that her post was about. I was talking about her and her friend, that was in her pictures. I honestly didn't know anyone else posted bento box pictures, I know she posted one or two others at least. I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about mkk and her friend in her pictures.

that wasn't clear so don't be so surprised that i took it personally.  even if it didn't involve me personally i'm sure as heck going to speak up for mkk because not everyone wants to defend themselves.  i've been in a lot of situations where i'm very glad people spoke up on my behalf.

What? no. I'm not saying "i'm right anyway", you know there can be multiple issues happening at once right? I'm saying you guys came at my way too hard, way overreaction, *EVEN THOUGH* everything else you said was true. I apologized. I'm not taking the apology back, I'm saying, in addition to me being sorry for needless namecalling and shitposting, you guys overreacted. Both can happen at the same time.
