every time you ridicule a nasty person’s appearance there is chance it’s going to reach a vulnerable person who sees themselves in their features
This. It really frustrates me when someone is being problematic and then people start attacking their looks. Like go ahead and call out the person for bad behavior all you want but when you start making it about their appearance you become part of the problem.
I really couldn’t give any less of a shit about anybody who idolizes and projects themselves onto shitty people. like get over it lmfao
right like who the hell cares
“Idolizes and projects themselves onto shitty people”? Do you guys ever think about shit that comes out of your mouths?? It’s not fucking “idolizing”. It’s that when you say “lol their [any body feature] is so ugly”, there are innocent unrelated people WHO SHARE IT, AND THEY FUCKING HEAR YOU. You think there’s no consequence at all for garbage you say? Y’all claim to be so body positive or whatever, but in truth you’re hypocritical pieces of shit.
A HANDY GUIDE:
✓
“ew, Lena Dunham is a disgusting racist.”
✘
“ew, Lena Dunham is a disgusting racist and how can she think she’s physically attractive when she’s so fat?” (Fat is not a negative quality, neither is being proud of your fatness, but being a racist is)
✓
“Jesse Eisenberg is pretty problematic, I don’t think I like him very much”
✘
“Jesse Eisenberg is such an ugly dude, I can’t believe people find him attractive”
(He’s Jewish, with Jewish features. Don’t.)
✓
“Donald Trump is a horrible, horrible person”
✘
“Donald Trump has a tiny penis.” (Transphobic. Other people have said it better than me, although I suppose there’s a chance all those activists could’ve just been idolizing and projecting themselves onto him.)
This has been A HANDY GUIDE to the difference between criticizing/hating a public figure and Just Spewing Vomit Over Innocent People Because It’s Not Like We’re All Socialized To Recognize When People Share Physical Similarities With Us And Discern How Society Perceives Those Qualities In Them Or Anything!
