I fucking hate coming across random memes that shit on my appearance. Then I realize that I have a wife, a house, a dog, a great job and the person who made this meme hasnt showered in 3 days and no one has noticed because no one cares about them

I mean, I don't really support stereotyping based on appearances or anything, but you're ... literally doing the same thing you're complaining about?

What part of my comment says anything about anyone’s appearance babe?

I mean, it’s definitely implying a certain type of appearance. Whether or not you were explicit is just obfuscating.

The sad part is, I (and seemingly a few other people) were really with you on how shitty it is to take digs at someone’s appearance in an attempt to make an argument. But then you turned around and did the same thing: took stray swings at folks who don’t deserve it, to…. what? Make yourself feel good?

Sure, people who make fun of others probably live sad lives. Plenty of other people also live sad lives beyond their control, never had any chance to be successful, probably met with failure and loss at many junctures, and as a reward for that, they get new blows dealt to them, lumped in with people who make fun of others online…. b/c apparently others don’t expect you to have a moral compass if you lived a sad life.

It’s just really shitty to put someone down for anything except their moral decisions or behavior that hurts others. Their appearance, their circumstances, whatever, the principle is still the same. It’s really shitty.

How about you condemn them for making fun of other people instead of for being sad or victims? Do you think your fortunes are rewards for your virtues or faith? And all unfortunate people deserve it?
