Selfies are acceptable on Christmas. But why? Halloween selfies make a lot more sense because people want to show off their costumes. I say we make an official 'selfie day' switch.
littlepenguinologist
Interesting idea, it was more interesting when someone else posted it earlier in the week…
Skizzlesnap
It’s whatever. I just don’t open Imgur on Christmas.
Vhyson
How dare you bring your fancy logic into this place?!
dammitscotty
shut the fuck up
OldMadDad
Uuuum.. I get where you are going with this, but 2 different things... halloween is a costume, makup, you are posting a picture of 1/2
OldMadDad
a work of art/craft. Christmas is to post a picture of yourself for history, compare selfies over time, also look at the community demograph
IsACouchASeat
Because Xmas is about seeing our fellow Imgurians. Halloween is about seeing costumes.
Pixel8yt
Because Halloween is costume day. Also it probably has something to do with imgur secret Santa and people taking pics with what they got
VesselOfHate
You're right. We should stop posting and upvoting selfies on Christmas.
kylefromterminator
I down vote them all
Slashinhobo
A true hero, im too weak and lazy to bother so i sleep.
elhopaness
I'll blame you when we end up with 2 selfie days...
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I guess it's a gift to all the people who really want to post selfies?
Malikhi
We do it on Christmas because we're all feeling togetherness, and seeing each other kinda plays into that. Plus not everyone does Halloween.
PolarHailStorm
Average people don't get a shot on Christmas though. It's either really attractive people or the grotesque. Imgur is a judgmental bastard.
Quarktaart1
And the day after Thanksgiving should be for shitposting.... Literally
Mayyybe
I agree
Cantfindmybirthcertificate
Was just thinking. We think alike.
Synard
How about no selfie days at all
GymnasticLime
we'd just end up having 2 selfie days, which we basically have anyway so what difference
OldMadDad
a picture of the costume you make or your makeup is a picture of your personal craft, "I made this" not a "look at me"...
GymnasticLime
yeah, but they're both still selfies and good luck getting rid of either of those selfie days
redsmerf
Because Imgur is weird
OTTERMAN2500
But what about ppl who don't believe in Halloween. They will feel left out!
NoseHairs
If it's your whole body, it's not a "selfie" it's just some one else taking a picture of you, also called a photograph.
TheRoyalCatCuddler
Interesting! Tell us more about this... Foto-graff?

Are you questioning the old ways? Those handed down from the gods of yore?

Seriously though. Those kids are like, WAY into Jesus

I'm not certain that the Imgurians have gods. We do, however, have a king....

Jesus Camp was lit
KeezieWeezie
As a Christian, Jesus camp = terrifying
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
I had similar camp experiences and YA IT FUCKIN IS NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. Those poor kids.
orbitn
As a non-Christian, Jesus camp = terrifying.
KeezieWeezie
Right. But it also sucks that Jesus Camp gives non-Christians a very skewed perception of Christianity. Jesus Camp is not Christianity
KittyLeader
Christmas is selfie day, halloween is costumed selfie day. Simple.
troelsm
Yeah. But honestly the costumed selfies are so much better.
Corin
And Easter is nude selfie day. Exactly.
Predacane35
I can get behind that.
reclaimingrequiem
ItsJustACoincidence
ZuIthar
Wait what, your not elbowdeepinahorse
Aslatra
Because if someone has a solid enough costume, it won't be downvoted as hard for being a selfie since there's a legit reason to post it.
OldMadDad
I would add that a selfie of a halloween costume or makeup is a picture of a piece of craft, they are more "i made this" then "this is me"
MrHumberfloob
Not to mention most "selfies" on halloween is a picture taken by someone else.
MrHashSlingingSlasher
You mean a picture? I think you mean picture

Hence the quote marks in his post

Yes that was his point, thanks for that.

I believe Christmas was originally meant for those who had to work on Christmas. Mostly hospital workers, police, firemen, etc and it grew.
VesselOfHate
It was originally meant that we would upvote everything. The incursion of selfies into that was never intended.
MothMonsterMan
It grew to only accept the attractive*
Skizzlesnap
Trust me, I have surfed Imgur on Christmas and boy does that prove you’re theory wrong. Imgur has some busted ass users.
mellamotoro
Ass users?
MothMonsterMan
Newest first vs most viral shows the real devide.
