Yeah guys, go think you're cool all of the sudden...

MTN889 · 10-23-2003, 08:45 PM

I can't believe my school. I told them i was a fan of the turtles and you know what they did? They started making fun of me, i can't believe it. They said TMNT Was only for little kids, and now they treat me like a retard. I also said i like comics, and they also said comics was for little kids too. Know what? They should read born.
If it wasnt for that stupid fat kid and the tall kids, i would just tell them "Yeah guys, go think you're cool all of the sudden... Stupid [edited]
I want to beat them.

LANGUAGE, MTN!

You see, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

*That Matt Guy* · 10-23-2003, 08:49 PM

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Alrght, alright! I changed it!

Bring up the fact that there is decapatation in the very first issue of the comics.

And a blood feud through out a large part of volume one.

If that dosen't work, read up on the Image TMNT comics and tell them about those

. If the Image comics don't work, ignore them.

**GK Punk** · 10-23-2003, 10:29 PM

Here's an idea, just don't care what they think.
That's the best advice I can give.

Dude, I used to carry a Sailor mars doll to High School And talk to it at lunch to freak people out. (I hung out with the Punks/Skaters/Goths, so they all thought it was hillarious)

They must've not heard of the original Mirage series or Heavy Metal for that matter.

*damnhooligan* · 10-23-2003, 11:20 PM

Ignore them. Plain and simple.

CookSux · 10-23-2003, 11:40 PM

But they are for kids...

Ninjatron · 10-24-2003, 12:00 AM

I disagree with just about everyone here.

I think you should beat them up!

Sayonara.

**azure turtle** · 10-24-2003, 12:38 AM

LOL! And I've got a steel chair...

MTN, just ignore people like that. I'm a in college, and I've got no problem wearing TMNT shirts to class. Some people give me funny looks, while some people have asked me where I bought my shirt. Can't please everybody, so you might as well please yourself first. Don't be ashamed of your interests. They're a part of who you are.

*Cascadia* · 10-24-2003, 01:04 AM

there is some people at my alma mater (college) that wears TMNT shirts and a necklace with a TMNT charm on it. As for me, TMNT is my secret hobby. Some people know about it but they do not make fun of me. They also do not talk about it to me. I would just ignore them. As some of the others said, the original comic series was very graphic and serious. Back then, it was meant for teenagers and adults. Most people do not know about the original comic series, they know about the cartoon series that came out in the late 1980s.....which was mainly for kids.

*That Matt Guy* · 10-24-2003, 03:20 AM

I could have worn a Pokemon t shirt in high school and nobody would have given a crap; nobody ever bothered me in high school. Probably because everybody thought I was some kind of Neo-Nazi, and unfortunantly I was given the nickname Hitler, or sometimes just Nazi.

Dinny · 10-24-2003, 03:36 AM

Just use some funky kung fu turtle moves to beat em up, then sream "TURTLE POWER"

Actually, dont scream turtle power

.

SciFreak: That's the case at my college right now. You have no idea how relieved I was to find more than 1 other person besides myself to wear a TMNT t-shirt on campus!

*Dane E5R* · 10-24-2003, 11:01 AM

I get nothing but compliments about my TMNT shirts.. No one has ever seriously made fun of me for my TMNT obsession. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones..

CookSux · 10-24-2003, 11:04 AM

At a school of 45000 people (MSU), we can wear whatever we want. I have yet to buy myself a TMNT tshirt, but people don't mind it when I wear my Fantastic Four shirt, or other stuff from Urban outfitters. Graphic T's are the in thing in college... and if someone tells you you can't wear something, than you live in a community that sucks.

*damnhooligan* · 10-24-2003, 11:40 AM

College, fortunately, is a lot more relaxed as far as pretensions go. Where else could I stumble into a 7AM Greek Literature course in my pajamas, wrapped up in a Turtles blanket with corresponding pillow and actually have people envy my ingenuity?

That, my friend, is freedom.

**HorseTechie** · 10-24-2003, 11:45 AM

All the reason why I used to hate the old TMNT cartoon, and the kiddie merchandise all over the place, back in high school. Yep.. was a closet TMNT fan then, cause I was afraid of getting the same treatment. Didn't start slipping out the fact I liked TMNT until college.

But it is sad, how the merchandise has brainwashed the rest of society into thinking they are all for kids. Of course, it also drives my husband nuts too. Both the TMNT and the TFs. At least he's tolerating the LotR, but I'm sure if I go hog-wild on that too, he'll roll over and die again.

Oh well, at least my (future) kids will think I'm cool. Until they become teenagers.
