Culture Club - Victims (Video 1983)



Recently there has been a rise in negative blogs popping up all over the internet with photos of modified people, the person being degraded so badly I sit here and get tears in my eyes.

No matter who the person is, they are being criticized and mocked publicly in ways that are very demeaning and hurtful, trust me, I have had my share of cyber attacks by people, both without and within the mod community.

So, what is our recourse?

We do nothing. We say nothing.

If we do not engage the perpetrators directly, but instead see these situations as opportunities for us to further refine our own character, we win, and we set the example to the world.

The last thing we need to do is 1. report the posts to fab because quite frankly they don’t care, and 2. respond to them which would only entangle is in their negativity.

What these people do is ugly, mean hearted and nasty.

What we do is not be like them by taking the bait.

OK, so those posts hurt our feelings, especially the person to whom the post is targeted, so what, we get over it, shake it off and do not fall into that victim mode they want to put us in.

We modified our body, we take ownership of what we have done do our world, not to just our immediate world, but also the world around us.

We are, strong, we are proud, we are intelligent and we are not victims, we are beautiful.

No one can or should take that away from us.

"Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well"
