This guy. [at Dragon Con]

scottyboy130 · 2012-09-04T00:50:13+00:00

This is one of those things I laugh at on the Internet. But not in real life.

fruitynoodles · 1 day

Just about as offensive as this costume.

RUEZ69 · 2012-09-03T22:58:12+00:00

At least he won't be surprised if he gets his ass kicked.

worker_parasite · 2012-09-04T01:26:39+00:00

According to the look the guy behind him is giving, then yes, too soon.

inferior-raven · 2012-09-04T00:32:07+00:00

You know what? I like it. Men like that freak that shot up the theatre only have as much power as you give them. I would prefer his clout to be in the form of a stupid costume/ meme as opposed to a he-who-should-not-be-named type villain.

I think he'd be way too into that second one.

spectre1992 · 2012-09-04T03:30:07+00:00

I'll just leave this here...

edit: I know I'm going to hell for this, but dammit, it's too funny.

DO_NOT_AMA · 2012-09-04T04:47:10+00:00

wtf is dragoncon.

anxiouswreck · 2012-09-04T03:49:03+00:00

I get that people are upset because it's offensive. And others are saying we've laughed at worse. But either way, it's not really funny. It's a stupid,lazy costume, and there's no humor behind it. I think it's more about if we know for sure that something happened and who it happened too. Like a little girl r-kelly pissed on costume. A miichael jackson with a lollypop in zipper costume. Something that was speculated but not proven or at least didn't take someones life.

I don't know. There's a lot of gray.

tl;dr insulting or not, this isn't funny. Not because I'm insulted...it's just not funny.

BeARdBARIAN · 2012-09-04T08:03:34+00:00

Not soon enough. Props to this guy for making a bunch of redditors cry.

Cptnwalrus · 2012-09-04T00:02:45+00:00

Jeeze, someone's looking for attention.

WTF_OMG · 2012-09-03T23:27:25+00:00

you people makes jokes about all kinds of terrible shit all the time and this is off limits? seriously guys

octowussy · 2012-09-04T02:24:21+00:00

The most offensive thing about this is that this bottom feeder didn't bother to shave off ten pounds before shoehorning himself into that shirt.

FictionZeroZeroOne · 2012-09-04T03:31:03+00:00

I find it interesting that many people here think this is distasteful and offensive, but when Jeff Ross dresses up as Gaddhafi, who killed many more people than this Aurora shooter could have ever dreamed of, no one seems to mind - in fact, I wager many of you love him and his roasts.

I am not saying what this guy did was right or wrong, I just think it is interesting... it is perfectly fine to mock people if it is foreign to you or far away, like a Gaddhafi or Kim Jong Il, but when it something that affects you personally or hits close to home for you, like, say, a shooting in a theater for a movie reddit happens to love, it's suddenly in bad taste.

Minnkills21 · 2012-09-03T22:17:05+00:00

I don't get it

thetrickstergod1961 · 2012-09-04T03:52:52+00:00

I laughed a little, then felt bad about it. There must be a German word for that.

foevalovinjah · 2012-09-04T05:46:27+00:00

it kind of... well umm, sorta, i mean not really FUCKING REALLY HILARIOUS. Forgive me baby jesus but he also has that dumb expression on his face

butyourhonor · 2012-09-04T10:56:18+00:00

Yes. Yes it is.

psychosnyder · 2012-09-04T07:14:10+00:00

So it is ok for people to laugh at Jewish/Hitler jokes, but not at a person who killed what 12 people? Hell there are rouge snipers that kill more than that, but since they are in "lesser" countries no one gives a fuck. If you can't laugh at this then you need a larger life perspective.

WHM-6R · 2012-09-04T03:36:24+00:00

Wow, talk about putting zero effort into a costume. The gun's wrong, the sign is of crappy quality, and he used an orange t-shirt as a stand in for a prison jumpsuit. This entire cosplay just screams "I want everyone to pay attention to me, but I'm too lazy to spend more than two minutes on my costume."

DreamVsPS2 · 2012-09-04T03:57:07+00:00

When you have to ask Too Soon, it's Too Soon.

MrTurkle · 2012-09-03T19:58:13-07:00

in the equation "tragedy + time = comedy" time is the pivotal variable.

vibroguy · 2012-09-04T05:22:46+00:00

guys got balls. If this was the south park guys then we would be applauding them for their bravery. Well done sir

LesliiJupetis · 2012-09-04T06:47:39+00:00

Yes yes yes yes yes. The only way I deal with tragedy is to have a sense I humor about it

CrispyPudding · 2012-09-04T07:18:11+00:00

it's all about perspective.

C_K_B · 2012-09-04T08:59:52+00:00

I'm sort of shocked by this but that text "too soon" has me laughing. He's right it is too soon to be making fun of the tragedy and that's why I laugh because he knows it and I know it but still he does it anyway.

mBarroso · 2012-09-04T12:14:04+00:00

Fill me in please. Sorry I don't get the reference.

Michichael · 2012-09-03T23:57:51+00:00

This made me laugh harder than anything in /r/funny

BLATANTLY_UNFUNNY · 2012-09-03T20:16:39-07:00

I am the Angel of Death. The time of purification is at hand.

sledsbehave · 2012-09-03T21:29:54-07:00

let's murder this guy for making light of murder.

JoshIsNumber3 · 2012-09-03T16:06:15-07:00

Problem, world?

James_Holmes · 2012-09-03T20:45:22-07:00

Not soon enough.

JimMorrisonsCorpse · 2012-09-04T05:03:19+00:00

You know I'd say "that's a good way to get your ass kicked" but who am I kidding, this was at Dragon Con.

"That's a good way to get yelled at on the internet later that evening"

Tr0llphace · 2012-09-04T05:21:29+00:00

b-b-b-b-balls of steel

especially considering he's at a convention, it goes without saying that a lot of nerds were slain at that batman midnight premiere, some feelers are bound to be hurt and some hipster nerd is bound to give him a speech on morality.

I give him a 9/10 on the Troll-o-meter.

Ellss · 2012-09-04T00:37:44-07:00

Classic! I laughed so hard..

FockerFGAA · 2012-09-04T04:05:33+00:00

This guy is an idiot. Not because his costume is offensive but because his costume had nothing to do with dragon con. It is one thing to be a Dick but at least do it in the correct context.

Also, before anyone says it, just because the shooting occurred at a showing of a comic book movie doesn't mean it had anything to do with comics.

Shelby312 · 2012-09-04T00:17:03+00:00

I laughed. See you all in hell, Reddit community!

theundiscoveredcolor · 2012-09-03T20:26:49-07:00

Hair's not orange enough.

AdeshaNuts · 2012-09-03T20:42:28-07:00

upvotes for balls

niggertown · 2012-09-03T20:43:39-07:00

If you don't laugh, the mass murderers win.

TownIdiot25 · 2012-09-03T20:54:39-07:00

/r/ImGoingToHellForThis/

HappyNihilist · 2012-09-03T21:53:51-07:00

Took me second to get it... Then I laughed

skoorbevad · 2012-09-04T04:53:56+00:00

I had this conversation with a co-worker on Friday.

"Do you think anybody will go as the Aurora shooter?" "Probably not nearly enough."

Little did I know it was front page material.

anikan72 · 2012-09-04T05:19:10+00:00

I think if /b/ was a person, it would look like this.

gogomouth · 2012-09-03T22:43:56-07:00

I think I just found my Halloween costume.

kurt8081 · 2012-09-04T00:12:42-07:00

This isn't wtf.

Lefty07 · 2012-09-04T00:56:08-07:00

yep definitely too soon.

5h1tface · 2012-09-04T06:49:50-07:00

If it wasn't too soon it would not be funny...

BarelyReal · 2012-09-04T15:25:14+00:00

You can say it's all in fun and just a joke, but I seriously don't get the "joke" other than doing something intentionally offensive. If that's the case then why SHOULDN'T people be offended? I could sooner respect an ass-hole who knows this will piss people off than an ass hole who didn't at any point question if it was in good taste.

WTF
