...I do. About a month ago, right here.

OP was from about two months ago on EVERY NEWS MARKET that had crews in Burma! I guess the third time is a charm....

This is disgraceful. This man is committing self immolation for a cause that he believes in, and its being ridiculed on the internet.

[–]ThomasDavis806 -4 points-3 points ago

This is both an unmarked NSFW and a repost from a month ago, m'kay?

[–]TankorSmash -1 points0 points ago

How is this NFSW?

[–]ThomasDavis806 -3 points-2 points ago

"Not for safe work?". It's gore, it's a human being burning alive. That's NSFW

[–]TankorSmash 1 point2 points ago

Almost all of his flesh is intact, you'd need to see burnt flesh. As it is now, it just looks like a really good photoshop.

[–]SwoccerFields 2 points3 points ago

Or just a man in a fire suit, for God sakes I saw a performance where a guy caught on fire in Disneyworld! its not NSFW

[–]The_Time_Master 1 point2 points ago

He's Irish!

Rammstein anyone?

[–]ThomasDavis806 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but it is a real case of self-immolation. The point of NSFW is that it isn't safe for work, it would easily offend a lot of folks who are familiar with that picture.

[–]TankorSmash 0 points1 point ago

If a photoshop of the exact same scene wouldn't be NSFW, I don't see how this would be. It is not gory, there's no blood, breast, tit or dick. It's not NSFW.

I see how if you're really sensitive, you could get yourself worked up over this, because it's a dude burning alive, but still, for most people this is SFW.

[–]ThomasDavis806 0 points1 point ago

Ima stand my ground on this. The fact that it's a real picture of a human being changes it for me. But hey, what do I know? Some folks would agree with you, some folks would agree with me and neither of us are gonna change the others mind. So maybe the best thing to do is drop it.
