The internet: Body shaming isn't right
This thread: Yeah this guy's a freak and I would never want to look like that.
Good job guys
Yep. I've been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don't know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.
All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.
Even fitness models only look like that on the day of the photo shoot, it isn’t healthy
That I know. One of my best friends in high school used to be a body builder. Got absolutely swole and would dehydrate before his competitions. And while I would never do that to myself, I supported him fully as that's what made him happy.
Edit: We don't know if this dude is competing and if he's close to a companion if he is. It's not rightto body shame, and you can't act as if it's for health purposes off of one picture.
It's... "bodybuilding". If I see someone with awful face tattoos I'm allowed to think that I would never want to look like that. In both cases they specifically made the choice and spent the time/money to achieve exactly that specific, very noticable look.
Fantastic. You realize they specifically made the choice. And you can think however you want to about it. Don't then go online and talk about how it's terrible and/or make fun of the person.
That's called body shaming.
too many steroids
Never enough
Right but this is like the Miukbang people and nickado avocado or whatever. It’s the equivalent of gorging yourself into being morbidly obese whole going “don’t shame me!”
This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.
This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.
You shouldn’t make fun of those people either…
So... if someone can't help how they look then you shouldn't shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they've chosen to look that way.
What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don't you show us what you look like? I'm curious what decisions you've made. I mean... fair is fair. Right?
Yep.
It's funny how you're acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.
The difference between you and I is that I don't lie to myself. It's a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.
Maybe one day you can join me but you'll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.
Also, by this logic trans people should get mocked because they made those choices to their bodies and it's outside those norms, but i thought we were trying to be more accepting
Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I'm saying that if you go around doing this, you're going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I'm not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it's okay to mock people to make the world better. I'm just using your rules.
Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn't realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.
Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you're allowed to mock them but saying I'm the gatekeeper?
Good luck with that.
By the way, I'm still waiting for you to post what you look like.
I mean you're saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?
I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids. I don't celebrate the life choices of an emaciated heroin addict, and while I might not mock them either, it's understandable we might socially acknowledge that their behaviour is undesirable for a number of reasons. There's no need to eradicate any and all perceived criticism of others' choices, it feels a bit like you're using it as a cudgel or some sort of weaponised purity test.
or
"I hope he reads this bro"
Judging peoples choices regarding their own body that has nothing to do with anyone else makes the world less shitty.
Got it. Thank you.
You're really going ofter him for being intolerant of your intolerance? Grow up child
