If you're entitled to do what you want to your body, why aren't others entitled to have their opinions about what you do? Either you can modify your body and I can think you're a mutilated freak, or we're both expected to be robots without opinions. As long as there's no obstruction in what you do, there's no intolerance.Wedlock49 said:Body modification is not body mutilation and as a modified person myself I find his description to be offensive there are a lot of people who have altered their faces much like he has.

Oh for the love of god, it's not that a big of a deal. It's just a different name for it. They mean the same thing as you.Wedlock49 said:I find describing Baraka as self mutilating to be one hell of a low blow, he's a heavily modified individual. I could list everything he has had done to his face in perfectly plausable ways in real life that work and people have had done.
The bumpyness of his face is easily done by injecting liquid silicone under the skin and then molding it into shape, waiting for it to harden, he has a few microdermal anchors/transdermal anchors in his face and stretched ear lobes.
