I swear I'm not trying to be offensive here, but I am trying to understand.
Ok... Beyond signaling a tribal affiliation with party, what do things like Campaign hats and stickers accomplish? What do people hope accomplish by wearing them?
I've got bumper stickers and stuff just to tell the world a little bit what I like, or like with the 7 pointed star send a signal to other otherkin. We're a small community so I figure, fly a flag and find an ally.
Is it like that?
I can only answer kind of the inverse of your question, as I cringe at wearing, bearing, driving, inhabiting, anything displaying labels or affiliations.
I'm never comfortable being pigeonholed into such over-simple pigeonholes.
Also, I've noticed that when I am unlabeled, unflagged, people from whatever tribe often just assume I am one of them :)
@ceorl I will use fairly cryptic symbols. Like the 7 pointed star. It could mean anything but for Otherkin and Therian's its always been a way that we can recognize each other. I have two tattoed on me, and one on my truck. ^_^
@NiveusLepus I've got various decals on my car, written in a font used only in Star Wars, and readable only by fairly hardcore fans of Star Wars. @ceorl
