What can you consider deviant?
Do you see deviance as a negative behavior? Why or why not?
Are you deviant?
Full Version: *Are You Deviant?*
well, if we would describe a deviant as someone who violates social norms, i guess i am one.
deviance is not bad. goodness is subjective, since different people have different views on stuff. rules were out up to maintain order in a particular setting. let's just respect it na lang...

To me, deviant are those behaviors that depart/deviate from limits that, in our minds, determine what is 'normal' or expected -- overconforming and underconforming.
Do I see it as negative behavior? Nope.
Why? Because I'm not an absolutist. Deviance, as I see it, is a relative term without universal meaning -- even negative deviant behavior isn't absolutely negative.
Am I deviant? Yup.

i think each of us has been a deviant to whatever that is stricting us...it's an innate thing.
Yes I am. Damn proud of it. :cool:
What the hell is there to deviate from?
I don't believe in norms.
I don't believe in norms.
Just for the sake of this discussion, I will deviate from the rest and say "NO, I AM NOT A DEVIANT..."
But of course... Well, you know....
:confused: :eek:

no...
abnormal ako eh, so therefore i'm deviant
sometimes when i feel like trying to..
well because you must test your limit though sometimes only!
i dont think it is bad. abuse is bad. :cool:

the paradox of this thread:
wouldn't a collection of deviants such as the people who gather here claiming to be deviants in fact lose their deviant status because deviance in this case would collectively become a norm? and by the same process, those who say they are not deviants actually become deviants because they stray from this norm? so for one to remain a deviant in this case and still be able to proclaim his deviance in this thread, one must first deny his deviant status by claiming not to be deviant - an act which is, in itself, deviant because one would then be lying - and by that means will gain deviant status because one would then have gone against the norms of both claiming to be deviant and telling the truth.
therefore...
i am not a deviant.
ok.. my head hurts.. :confused:
people say that i am, but i dont really care.
...just being me
...just being me

perfect!
may norms ba sa society? parang wala eh.
lahat naman ng tao rito deviant. hay. siguro nahiya nang magpost ang hindi deviant.

sino bang hindi??? it all depends on the norms/standards that are currently in place... dati considerd na deviant ang mga homosexduals and bisexuals pero now they're accepted na as part of society...
