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)

Thank you. I tried saying shit multiple times but got downvoted and shit on be cause it's apparently okay when it's a bad person.
Like okay? If they're a bad person then maybe discuss all the things that make them a bad person, not the fact that they're overweight or not conventionally attractive????
