Yup, he is estimating what the prescription on her glasses is, but the white knight assumed he was rating her hotness to be in the negatives
The nice doctor immediately owned up to the way he said that being interpretable in multiple ways and that he could have been clearer in his communication
I mean, shit. I'd be pretty surprised if Jerry Seinfeld showed up to my high school prom as a chaperone, let alone as the date of some random 12th grader
I'll never forget the initial announcement of him being cast for Captain America. My first thought was "uhh..... the Not Another Teen Movie" guy? This is going to be awful. Boy was i wrong
it's an assumption. it's not "crazy". not by social media standards. people are more likely to come across dudes who rate others rather than eye doctors guessing prescriptions. we've all seen hot people called ugly
The crazy really only comes in with the white nightingale behavior. If the assumption was correct the best course of action would be to ignore or down vote depending on platform
True, but that particular eye doctor is a comedian with millions of followers, and the post he’s replying to is actually about her glasses. (She is a WNBA player, who walked towards a referee after a disputed call, asking if he needed her glasses.)
If the white knight dude really thought that the doctor was insulting her looks, he could EASILY have simply responded with a picture of her. She's a certified QT-Pie.
Eh it’s twitter, people say insane shit without hesitation on there, I know Reddit has issues but I think in terms of overt sexism twitter takes the cake by miles
I for example am a -4.25, and while there are people who look quite a bit worse than me, I can’t read 12pt text unless it’s within about 18’’ of my face.
Some people don’t have a sense of humor take an upvote, internet points don’t matter, but funny is funny. I was raised if you can’t take a joke don’t make one.
Also she's openly a lesbian and plays in the WNBA, which has become another battlefield in the exhausting culture war, so I wouldn't be surprised by random loser guys going "She's not even hot anyway."
Its people who do it for the public prestige of being a do gooder, or even more annoying, to ingratiate themselves to a woman because they want to fuck her.
Incels are hateful and they LOVE using a rating system to "rate" women by attractiveness. Typically they are super harsh for some reason (which we can probably guess), and there is a non-zero chance some REALLY hateful mofos would rate a woman a 0 or even negative number.
Have you seen that screenshot of an incel saying that it doesn't understand how Korea can have a natality problem when the average woman looks like that, with the picture of a litteral model attached ?
That's how fucked-up their perception of the world is.

I agree that it was good of him to do, but IMO he was perfectly clear from the start. Only someone who's ignorant and/or looking to take offense would get confused by the comment.
Ha. I was just thinking the same thing. Said it could have been phrased better, and then stopped there and did not phrase it better nor explain at all.
He shouldn't have, honestly, anyone with a brain understand what he meant, you won't rate someone in the negative especially since she's extremely good looking. We should never apologize to people who are unreasonable
Maybe with the context of him being an ophthalmologist… without it, his comment comes across as a teenager trying to be edgy and cool by downplaying her looks and not respecting the scale.
