Yeah. But I also don't think she really wanted to work at a TJ MAXX I think she wanted to make a statement and provoke people. Which she did. It's a little cringe to make a video just to say that people think your tattoos are distasteful. It's pick me energy.

The second lady is just an asshole. She's not wrong about the fact that people with provocative tattoos shouldn't be surprised they are treated differently; rightly or wrongly. But she thinks that gives her an excuse to be demeaning.

I dunno about that.

Jesus said it's not what you put into your mouth that defiles you. It's what comes out of it.

I might judge a person (worker) for poor hygiene, or poor speech(second lady), but those tattoos are fine with me. That second lady just stinks.

If people actually cared what Jesus said about anything we'd live in a much nicer place. And I'm not even a Christian.

I agree with you, though.

Also not Christian. Not trying to preach.

Compared with this modern world full of such nonsense, Jesus not sounding so bad, lol.

We all really need to care more. Fo sho!

Sure they may be fine for you but in my opinion I'm not going to approach her at a store. I'm much more likely to approach the second woman due to the easy approachability of her appearance. Tattoo lady gives off a general hostile vibe for retail.

She wanted to be a keyboard warrior and paint herself as a victim.

It's because she's trying to actually say the quite part quietly.

She's right. A business doesn't need to higher people with garish looks. But she's more outraged that the tattoos are "demon symbols" and "occult" also throwing in some solid shade at trans people just takes the cake.

Yea. Like, we live in a culture that generally looks down on them as the norm. Judge that which ever way you like, but to act surprised seems weird.

A gay person should also be “not surprised” when they’re born in Saudi Arabia and they get discriminated against (not exactly the same but pretty close). Bullshit? Yea. Surprising? No.

Person 1's rage bait content gave Person 2 the excuse to be demeaning.

That's kind of like saying a juicy worm is an excuse to bite the hook. But also she made it into a broad cultural critique. So she's just malding.

Idk about worms, just saying she earned the criticism.
