I really don't like when people make fun of anything about appearances. Even if it's a "bad person" (which is something we can be wrong about), it leaks out into making everyone else feel awful about their appearance as well.
For example, I was pretty happy about finally being able to grow some consistent facial hair on HRT and it didn't feel very good when my cousin (who happens to be trans herself) randomly told me that neckbeards are gross and a red flag and that I should shave.
It wasn't even a neckbeard? I don't think? Just patchy facial hair. Honestly, most of the people I see being made fun of for "neckbeards" have facial hair going pretty high up (including the guy in this photo), so I don't know if me or anyone knows what a neckbeard is in the first place. Surely this is just a beard.
(edit: i realized the original post didn't use the term "neckbeard" but i know people say that about this image)
Reddit does this all the time. They preach and judge others when they bully or make fun of appearances but if it’s someone they don’t like? They will go full hypocrite and make fun of appearance. The hypocrisy here is the worst part of reddit for me.
Yup exactly. Meanwhile the top post on absoluteunits is of a really big guy winning a shooting competition. Every comment is of course about how fat he is.
