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.

... are they trying to get people to be shot by PTSD-suffering vets?

I didn't know blue LEDs and rotting flesh are the new black this year.

What the fuck?!

My parents died being converted in to these things. I had to kill so many of them in London. Former sapient beings converted into mindless killing machines and they turn it into a fashion statement!

Well, you can't get more conformist by mimicing a mindless drone.

Even if the sight of a husk didn't take me right back to the war, I'd probably shoot the bastard wearing the costume anyway just to rid the galaxy of one less stupid person. I mean really?! It's barely been over a year and people are already doing shit like this?! This is what we fought for?! It's just- I can't even- Fuuuuu-


I'm with you one hundred percent soldier. I was in London myself, and the idea of someone wearing a husk costume for shits and giggles is just a disgrace.

To say this is in poor taste would be an understatement.

ITT: let me try and be more morally outraged at this topic than the last poster

Eh. It's fashion, people, it's supposed to be controversial. Nobody else remember Geth Chic a few years back?

I've had more than one person scold me for "trying to look like a husk." In fact, I hear it even more than "trying to look like a geth."

Just because I don't try to hide the fact that my cybernetic prosthetics are, in fact, artificial.

I also have a series of tattoos which have gotten me labelled "cyberpunk," "cybergoth," "AI lover" and a hell of a lot more.

I'm the high priest of a technology spirit. It's not a fashion statement.

If it weren't for the Reapers I might still look like a turian.

High priest of a... Jesus, what kind of drugs are you on?

In any case, this isn't a fashion statement. It's a mockery. I knew people who got turned into husks. Those husks aren't things, aren't fashion plates. They were people who were forcibly turned into something else. Something horrible, right?

You don't see people dressing up like survivors of the holocaust, or like the victims of the SanChe station explosion, just to sell some idiot's ideas of high fashion. This is trash. Pure trash.

t-dorr is a hack and gravity beat is awful

Tech spirits are actually things in many turian cultures, as are those of industry, cities and the like. Unlike human spirit worshipping religions, turian religions have, by and large, avoided the obsession with trees.

Sounds like a load of bullshit to me.

Most religions do to nonbelievers.

Uh-huh. All I know is that I've known plenty of turians in my day, and not one of them ever copped to worshiping a can opener or a plasma rifle or anything.

I'm on painkillers for being burned alive with a firebomb during the war. I took a lot of husks with me. Is that relevant?

...Perhaps the "seeing a spirit face to face" part is, since that's what made me a shaman. The drugs came after. I'm not much use to my people if I'm curled up in bed screaming.

You seem a rather negative person.

...the fuck.

Who would actually think that a good idea? It's not like most species with PTSD can be triggered by a whole fucking less. Or that it's only been a year since billions died or were huskified.

Seriously.

Tech spirits are about as analogous to can openers as human religion is to worshipping a patch of dirt.

Don't be a fucktard.

Still never heard of it. Doesn't make me negative. Just means none of the numerous turians I know of on Omega ever mentioned it.

And who the hell are you calling a fucktard, assclown?

The dumbass who, upon hearing two people telling him about a facet of a religion, was like

instead of, say, using the extranet.
