    FINALLY. Permission to make fun of cultures wholesale in an insider, nuanced way!

      But what I want to know is it o.k. to make fun of cultures retail in an outsider, non-nuanced way?

    Let me get this straight: Leah wants me to believe that at no point in her life has she ever made fun of ANYONE that you’re not *suppose* to make fun of?

    GTFO.

    I am fat, and when I laughed at this, I sounded like muttly from the old amazing race cartoons.

    So, I’m fine with the people who call us fat, ugly, jealous losers, but HIPSTERS? Come on, that’s taking it too far!

        I see lots of dough-y hipsters. It’s so, like, mainstream to exercise. Plus PBR ain’t light.

          They do make a light PBR. It tastes exactly like regular PBR.

    Since when was regretsy about logic? For that matter, since when was etsy about logic? When etsy stops supporting thieves, resellers, and awesomely strange, bad, or horrifying “artists”, regretsy will cease to be. So really, etsy has nobody to blame but themselves for regretsy.

    If etsy just got rid of the criminals and resellers, that would cut down on a ton of regretsy action. Maybe for some, the “art” is a matter of opinion – to which regretsy is as entitled as any other – though if regretsy weren’t right, we wouldn’t be here laughing alongside. But I see no problem with shining a big fat spotlight on the thieves and resellers.

    The thing that kills me about all of these comments are:

    1.) The treatment of crafters as a “culture” unto themselves, completely undermining the important distinctions between, ya know…CULTURES.

    2.) The tendency to think that “customers” shouldn’t say shit about crappy art work because, damn it, they aren’t an artist.

    &3.) That these people feel their opinion is so damn important that they have to make a long rant to us instead of, you know…just leaving.

    Our opinions don’t matter, theirs do; as consumers we should just buy their shit without questioning it; and crafters are a special, magical race of people who deserve as much respect and room to grow, as say, ethnic Hmong…is that the take home message I’m supposed to be getting here?

      The treatment of crafters as a culture… I think you’ve hit it. That must contribute to the out-sized sense of entitlement that we see from so many cupcakesniffers on Etsy. And it mystifies the rest of us, because we never think of “glue-gun” as equivalent to “culture.”

          Yes, but the “High temp” faction would say that the “Low melts” were heretics and body bomb a glue factory.

    Oh my god. Gasping for breath and trying not to pee myself. That smackdown should be framed. It should be worshiped as the perfect, transcendent thing that it is. It belongs in a museum.
