Rules of Moshing
Alex C:
Yeah, people know sexual abuse isn't OK. Some people just continue to do so anyway and we need to watch out for them 'cuz they're raging assholes and should be stopped. Simple.
scarred:
my bad, it was a sarcastic response to an annoyed query about another sarcastic response. those jokes are pretty god damn lame but the idea that molestation needs a specific rule to make sure people know it's wrong sickens me to the core.
edit: yeah, what alex said
Drill King:
As a pretty frequent moshing lady. I gotta say.
I am sick of getting my junk, breasts, and/or booty grabbed. Also, unless I look distressed. Please don't pull me out.
I get really frustrated at the fact that girls are still novelty in pits, and that drunk guys sometimes think it's okay to get grabby? Like, the fact that it's a written out rule makes a lot of sense to me because I don't know hardly any girls that do mosh pits that haven't had this happen at least once.
I have been pulled out of several pits having people ask me if I'm okay, and I look at them bewilderingly, and say I was having fun. I don't look distressed, and it's usually obvious that I can handle my own, if not handle guys a solid foot taller than me. I hate people assuming because I am female and in the pit that I somehow ended up there by accident. I enjoy moshing a lot and it's really disheartening when people assume I don't because I have a vagina.
I'm pretty religious about grabbing people and pulling them up. And while I'm annoyed by glasses in the pit, I have dived under people's feet to save them from stomping. I'm not too terribly fussed about being knocked in the face as long as it's not too rough, I consider it a successfully fun pit if I get a fat lip or bloody nose by accident(I totally accept that I am shorter than many guys at hardcore shows, i've only ever been hit in the face once without them immediately apologizing profusely so I don't mind as much).
Also where is this place where you've only ever seen one girl Shane? I don't understand, I mean normally there's not many girls, two or three in a pit. But what sort of shows are you going to?
Barmymoo:
I quite like being in the kitchen, and there are rarely any boys in my kitchen (mostly because I am at a women's college).
Anyway.
Why do people mosh? What are the actual fun parts? I'm assuming there must be something about it that makes it worth doing. I have an inherent dislike of being surrounded by people in noisy, smelly environments so I guess I am not really the moshing type.
Nodaisho:
How about a simple exception rule? Anyone caught groping (and it has to be actually groping, not bumping into) isn't protected by the rest of the rules?
I would find pits a lot more interesting that way.
Speaking as a tall guy, in conversation with other tall guys, we all hate the 5' moshers the most, because they are why we have to keep our arms strategically positioned to protect our junk at all times. Spinning around in circle with your arms out isn't okay when you are that short.
