[Culture] Tuminum Dorr Pulls Husk-Themed Fashion Line Amid Controversy

Tuminum Dorr Pulls Husk-Themed Fashion Line Amid Controversy

Forti Claa, Beat 528 Magazine

Celebrity and music mogul Tuminum Dorr may be preparing for his fashion show next month, but for now he is busy defusing a public relations catastrophe involving his most recent line of clothing. The line, called “IC Synthesis,” involves designs inspired by bipedal husks from last year’s Reaper War. The merchandise was available on the gravity-beat rapper’s extranet site, but has been pulled because of an outcry over him “shamelessly” using the war for financial gain.

“Mournful: The Synthesis canopy was created in support of those who lost their lives in the Reaper War,” stated Dorr in a press release made this afternoon. “It was never my intention to make light of their sacrifice. With determined gravitas: that would be profiting off the suffering of others.”

Dorr’s parent company, Punitive Imotions, has declined comment.

You have one for everything, right?

...I think they look pretty fashionable.

I really like that marauder hoodie they were selling, that had a great pattern on it!

That Banshee Blouse is definitely a CRIME, though. A CRIME in FASHION!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

"Emily, I think I just made a GREAT joke!"

I'd have never thought that Ms. Corona has such an understanding for fashion!

what she says, basically. There are those fashionists who see their work as art and art is contriversial more often than not. So who is surprised that we see this? I mean, there are even porn sites out there that deal with Reapers and Geth and some obviously pay for that too.

But anyway, as a business decission this was bad marketing to begin with. That shitstorm could have been anticipated.

Also, from a very personal point of view, I don't like capitalizing on the war or using the victims as a "party gag".
Tasteless and awfull.

Fucking spirits...

I can see what she was trying to do, and even appreciate it, from an unbiased artist's perspective, but there's such a thing as time.

Spirits's breath...

That's why I took down that offer for a job in fashion. I have standards, thank you very much.

So if they ain't mentioned it, it can't be real, right? Just cos you humans love to drone on to anyone in the fucking room about how your religions and shit are so much better than everyone else's, don't mean we do the same. 'Sides


Folk on Omega ain't exactly the most spiritual of turians, you get me? Now how about you pipe down and stop advertising your ignorance, asshole. And we can get on with our laughin our scales off at fuckwits dumber than you.

Oh, and for the record, if any Hierarchy poindexter ever invents


a fucking plasma rifle, you better believe I will be dropping down and worshipping that shit, you feel?

I was born on Omega and I must concur, Omega is not the spiritual hub of the galaxy. Of course I wasn't a shaman then.

I'll freely admit that mine is a more obscure colonial religion. We take our Spirits more literally than the Hierarchy folks.

Also, next time you pray that this damned thing might please work, you can address your petition to the Silver Future.

HardDrop54 I'm taking quite a liking to you. Come by Sniper's Touch, I'll buy you an ale in appreciation.

Jacquento: I'm not sure if it's one for everything--sometimes associations overlap, and other times, new situations either birth new spirits or expand the domains of the old. But, generally speaking, yes.

Shit bro, you got me dialed in. Best way to get on my good side is with a stiff drink. I ever get rotated off this levo, nuked up bombsite, I might just look this place up.

Damn. A year ago, I'd rather have been caught jackin' it than thinking about knocking back booze with a Sundowner (yeah, I know what that means man, and I been a flag waving Hierarchy tier chaser since firstschool). Amazing how near extinction can change your perspective, am I right?

Standards?

Standards?

You don't have any standards you sub-sapient squint. This is just a stupid, insensitive moron trying to sell a bunch of shitty clothing inspired by husks.

You?

You are a fucking slaving blink (and proud of it) that constantly tries to shove his horrible merchandise on the rest of the forum. And is apparently too fucking stupid to realize that slaving is a dead business that only idiots named Goronak (I am assuming that is your name. If not, someone on your payroll is probably named Goronak. So fuck him too) keep trying to pursue.

How odd. And here I was led to believe the users of this board were the sort to find this sort of thing amusing. Where in the Void did all this 'morality' come from? Forget CDN, these kinds of reactions and claims to taste are surprising for the better part of the functional extranet. By the way if you check the extras in some of the 'outdoor' shots of Cartagena Patrol, you have a pretty good chance of seeing at least four or five random people wearing these same clothes.

And PTSD defenses? Really? What happened to the cold-blooded mercenaries, the jaded barmen, the hardcore marines, and all that jazz? The trauma in question has been distributed fairly evenly throughout anybody who either was at or near one of the places that were hit, or had family who did. Hell, a year ago there were people here bragging about how detached they were from their families, so why are you bitching now? Don't tell me that in the year since a bunch of alien mechagodsquids got a wild hair up their collective asses and decided to try and take over (and failed, remember, just like every other instance of something claiming to be a 'god' in our societal generation) this board's populace has been replaced with a bunch of pussies.

In any case, Silver Future, is there some kind of network or something you have worked out with the shamans of other things? I can't help but wish to know if spirits will answer where gods were silent.

No such thing as bad publicity, folks.

Wearing those things, however... Reckon there are easier ways to get the crap kicked out of you, if that's ones fancy.

You're fucking stupid.

Idiot has a point, though. Looking back, it's hard not to laugh at all the "war-hardened badasses" that pranced around here before the war.

I will add "Sending a prayer to the spirit of technology." to my trouble-shooting check list.

Hard Drop - Will do. Chief's brewing some shine that, not shitting you, tastes like vanilla creme cookies. Woman's a witch, I tell you. Doesn't seem possible.

I don't think too many of us planned to be where we are now.

Most of them met their match.

Yes miss, I have standards. I know from your cultural point of view my profession is something to be ashamed of, but from mine it's perfectly acceptable, if done correctly.

I think fashion really should be an art, but when I took a few classes I noticed that the only point was to get known and be better than the next person. That's what those husk costumes are. Not someone who thinks he's moving art forward, just someone who's willing to spit on the face of everyone who suffered at the tentacles of the reapers to get a minute of fame.

About my profession, yes I'm a slaver, yes I'm rather proud of it, although I don't think I'm doing any better than other professions represented on this board. We're all parts of a greater order.

About me offering my merchandise to others, well yeah that's marketing. Those boards have often been used in such purpose by others than me, and I don't think it's that wrong. Just don't use my services if you don't like them. Others were happy to use them.

About slavery being a dead business, I would not worry too much about it. It is certainly mutating, for the better, but dead? No I think it's far from having done for the galaxy everything it could.

Also my name is Bintar Ranak. Goronak was a very popular name the decades around my birth, and yes someone in accounting is bearing that name, but he's a great person and a wonderful family man. He's not deserving of your aggression.

I'm sorry if I got a little hard in that post miss Pariah. I've always followed your various posts with great interest, and for now I would please ask that we agree to disagree.

To infer that Omega has a thriving religious community would be idiocy, but there do exist pockets of faith in several neighborhoods. Those that remain unhappily bound to the station are more likely to subscribe to faith than others due to a desire for reassurance.

Most of said exceptions in the populace are comprised of humans, from what I have observed. However, they are not the only species station-side that participate in worship, unlike what they would have you believe.

Carry on.

Dairo, you are fucking retarded. Of all the brain-dead, mouth-breathing degenerates to survive the war and migrate to this forum, why did you have to be one? Why, out of nearly all of the people who died in the war, were you not among them? It would have done the galaxy a massive favour.

It's not fucking fair, why do people like you live through this shit while the rest of us die?

Aww, Mr. Wilde, I missed you too.

Hugs and kisses!
