I say I don't agree with it, simply because I don't promote it.
Not exactly like cutting yourself is a good, healthy thing.
I wasn't trying to bad mouth them at all, just stating my opinion on the subject. To each their own, all that jazz.
If I had a friend that cut themselves, I would obviously be concerned, so why should I agree with something that for lack of a better word, glorified it.
It's really not something to bicker over.
ComfortEagle:
Not Bickering, just making conversation.

Two things.
First of all, if you had friends who did drugs, you might be concerned, but you're not obviously uncomfortable about the many many many songs that glorify drug use. You know, just to point that out.
Secondly, I really honestly doubt the Dresden Dolls really glorify self-mutilation. If anything, they seem particularly ambiguous about the whole thing, and while Palmer is really frank about the fact that she cuts, I don't think she's claiming that cutting is a "good thing." Even Bad Habit, which is unambiguously a cutting song, has some doubt about the validity of cutting, EVEN THOUGH she's damned frank about how cutting affects her.
boeuf:
Why would I be concerned about drug use when I, to a lesser extent, do drugs myself?
Not like, crack or anything, but you know what I mean.
And, I said, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, glorified.
Meaning I don't exactly think it is "glorified" by definition of the word but..fuck, I don't know how to explain it, it's fucking early.
And, as a point of interest, I don't really think she's just pleaing for attention, because frankly, I don't know her. But most SI'ers, try to hide the fact that they cut themselves. If they actually have true intent of hurting themselves, they don't tell people, and hide the cuts, all that stuff.
Anyways, I don't really think it's making conversation when I felt almost, ganged up on, because I expressed my opinion, which wasn't even my full opinion, just a small piece of it involving the subject,. I'm not pissed or anything, just kind of puts me on the defense is all.
KharBevNor:
^ It depends entirely what reason she's cutting for. Some people do cut for attention. Some people just cut for performance, self destruction as art and all that.
...you really don't have nor have ever had any friends that cut? Wow.
