So are we only standing up against body shaming for ugly people? We're okay shitting on attractive people that might have had cosmetic work done? Are we a bunch of hypocrites that stand for nothing and only react when our own feelings are hurt?

Boo Lemmy. Y'all can do better.

No, this is clearly laziness on his part. He has all the time and money needed to get a decent haircut, eat well, and do a little exercise, but simply doesn't. He has no real obligations to get in the way. His ugliness is nothing but compounding character flaws.

I realize in hindsight I should have worded my comment more specifically. I'm NOT talking about the dude. I'm talking about all the comments at the girl.

I will never not condone clowning on rich assholes. Nobody gets that kind of money without some form of exploitation, and those kinds of people are fair game.

My comment was regarding all the other cringe comments in the thread that are saying shit like she's not that hot anyway, or she looks fake, etc.

Yeah, why does humor exist anyway 🤔...

Mu real concern is that you have more upvotes than downvotes.

The rule is not to punch down. When someone is a billionaire morning is off the table.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can generally agree with that if it's something someone can't change. However: fuck billionaires

Exactly! Like body shaming fat people because they have no say in the matter.

We shouldn’t make jokes at their expanse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

But making jokes on a billionaire's expense is OK 🤔?

I'm totally puzzled as to why people say she looks bad. She looks great to me. I can't identify any cosmetic surgery other than maybe a bit of lip filler, and that isn't even very much.

Some Lemmy users must have incredibly high standards or have supermodel girlfriends.

No, they're just stuck up and frustrated.

I don't think a group of FOSS Linux bros are having supermodel girlfriends lol, but anyway...

I'm not even puzzled as to why people think she looks bad. I'm puzzled as to why people think anything about her looks at all.

Seems some people here are projecting their insecurities.

I don't even care, either. I just hate hypocrites. Don't throw stones from glass houses.

I got a post in https://sh.itjust.works/c/funny deleted because of body shaming... but I guess billionaire shaming is just fine.

I mean, yeah. People can be fat, skinny, tall, short, all that stuff but to be a billionaire you've got to willingly horde the wealth of people who you think are lesser than yourself, so fuck them.
