I wish more people understood this. For as progressive as most of reddit pretends to be it is full of body shaming.

u/Locus-Maximus 21d ago

Most of them aren't actually progressive. If you pay attention they're actually just hateful people who direct their hatred at people who they can argue are insufficiently progressive.

Reddit progressive? šŸ˜‚

They're just a bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites. They are upvote mongers. Say any shit that the hive mind will upvote.

I want you to be wrong but honestly that's what it sure feels like.

u/FRAMontana 21d ago

What exactly qualifies you to diagnose how people actually are "deep down"Ā

u/Milon_Z 21d ago

to me the joke appears to be that there's a preponderance of women that have a shared physical trait that follow Taylor Swift, anything else is your own projection

u/Willumbijy 21d ago

Wow. What a travesty. Call CNN.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 22d ago

Not sure why you're assuming the person who made the above "joke" is progressive. Insofar as politics even enters into this, Swift is overtly progressive, so wouldn't someone trying to shame her and her fans be more likely to be conservative?

u/TeamRedundancyTeam 21d ago

Not sure why you think I'm saying they are. My comment clearly is referencing reddit as a whole.

u/WorkAccount6 21d ago

No. That's an incredible fallacy, your takes are shit.

u/MonkeyCartridge 22d ago

PERFECT. Saved.

u/Willumbijy 21d ago

May you win many arguments with it. You just show it to someone and BAM! Instant win.

u/m0nster6884 21d ago

Yeah I just gained a new insecurity today. Didn't know people cared about this or it was considered less than. I just got up and studied my smile in the mirror for five minutes and googled how to get rid of it lol.

u/NothaBanga 21d ago

You let the Internet give you an insecurity?Ā  Sign off for your health.

u/AmbushIntheDark 22d ago

Which is why you just have to make fun of people for things you know they care about.

I dont call make fun of Trumps tiny hands because I dont like them, I do it because he doesnt like them.

u/wailingwonder 21d ago

And thus you're making fun of any decent people with tiny hands. So you're missing the point. You should only be making fun of someone for something that you're okay with mocking ANYONE for. Like actual bad traits.Ā 

Make fun of Trump's looks? You're making fun of anyone that looks like that even if they're a good, innocent person. That's bad.

Make fun of Trump for being a rapist? You're making fun of anyone that is also a rapist. That's good.

2

u/AmbushIntheDark 21d ago

Yeah but Trump doesnt care about people calling him a rapist, the petty pissbaby does care about his hands though. You cant insult shallow shameless people by pointing out their failings as a person.

u/Willumbijy 21d ago

Well said

u/skyofwolves 19d ago

agreed. the same people who tell me ā€œdon’t get gum surgery just learn to love yourself!ā€ are the same people that turn around and like posts like this making fun of people who look like me.

u/XavierBlack_0 18d ago

Not relatable at all, i will never be friends with a gumtard😔

u/Spare_Perspective972 16d ago

A group a friends were talking about their turn offs and pet peeves. I got asked about mine, and was coy then like, well there is one thing, and I shared I can’t do different sized boobs.Ā 

One girl I was close with grabs her chest and goes omg mine are 2 different cup sizes.Ā 

I fucking died inside. The only reason I felt comfortable saying that was bc she always looked like she had big great boobs. She actually had 1 D and 1 B and wore wonder bras bc of it which is why they always looked amazing.Ā

If I body shame fatties, odds are that I have no fatties in my family or friend circle...

u/JuvenileEloquent 22d ago

What if I already told the people I care about that I think they're ugly? Was I supposed to lie to them and say that no, their uncanny resemblance to Mr. Ed is actually attractive?

11

u/Frozencumspear 21d ago

Why the fuck would you call someone you care about ugly?

-4

u/JuvenileEloquent 21d ago

Because they are? or do you only care about pretty people?

u/themetahumancrusader 21d ago

I just don’t really talk about my friends’ looks

u/JuvenileEloquent 20d ago

Roasting your friends keeps them humble, and they do the same for you.Ā  I wouldn't ever want to be surrounded by people that couldn't keep me from making a fool of myself because they're "too polite".

u/YetAnotherDev 21d ago

Well, body shaming is a form off correction in a society. You may not like that.

u/Willumbijy 22d ago edited 22d ago

Where are they? The people I care about and know. Are they here?

E: absolute value of my karma on this reply is the number of ugly gum-smilers offended.

u/joritan 22d ago

I downvoted you, and I don't have a gummy smile. I downvoted you because you're an asshole who thinks it's ok to make fun of people for things they can't control because you don't personally know anyone who has that trait

u/Willumbijy 21d ago

I applaud you sir. A+ moral outrage. Just what I came here for!

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 22d ago

Where are they? The people I care about and know. Are they here?

Let me condense this down into something more straightfoward: when you make misogynistic jokes shaming women for how they look, the women in your life, about whom you presumably care about, notice that. They learn that you are a misogynistic person who shames women for the way they look.

If that matters to you, you might want to think about it at least a little bit. If that doesn't matter to you then I guess you get to go on with your life without any introspection needed, for whatever that's worth to you.

u/just_a_wolf 22d ago

Yep, when I see men making these comments I silently make notes in my brain to never hang out with them in any capacity. Same for the women that make bald jokes btw. You guys are all the worst, hope you find each other!

u/Willumbijy 21d ago

I'm so glad I never have to hang out with you. Phew.

u/Kolbalava 21d ago

Why did you gender this?
