    Yeah, body-shaming isn’t cool. Doesn’t matter who the target is.

    EDIT: You can downvote all you want, but body-shaming one is body-shaming all.

      I have no idea why you’re down voted, your point is absolutely valid. Perhaps people are angry and want to hurt those in power, consequences be damned.

        Because this guy hurts more people 24/7 just being a billionaire than some hurt feelings on the Internet. We don’t have a lot to attack but their ego.

          Sorry not American and I cannot follow what everybody is doing. What is this guy doing to hurt others? And why should I hate him?

            1st he’s a billionaire.

            2nd he’s racist.

            3rd he contributed to p2025 which is a conservative manual to gaining power by dismantling systems, ignoring laws, that type of shit. And, without saying it directly, hurting minorities including women.

            Targets now are illegal immigrants, who keep the country running by being cheap labor with no rights, and trans people. Neither are hurting anyone. But really most of us are getting hurt if we don’t have wealth or that plus the right religion and skin color. Having all 3 is being at max level here, all the buffs.

            He has control. He can afford a 10 gallon hat or some reinforced hair plugs. He could get tattoos that makes his head look like a rocketship or have someone’s eye surgically implanted on that vast dome. Anything he wants because he hoardes amounts of money no one can ethically hold.

            I would bet 1 of my balls that he’s insecure as fuck but also thinks because he’s got wealth and power that his preposterously proportioned pink peak makes him smarter/better than others. Like, his brain is elongated so his cerebellum is all parfait’d up. Billionaires - They not like us…

      While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn’t necessarily correct either.

      Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is “something” that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it’s sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can’t always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.

      I think it’s important to point out that body shaming someone who isn’t a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.

        I am of the camp that all rules should apply to everybody and that includes social standards. If it is wrong to say something to person A it is also wrong to say the same to person B.

        But I am not American and idk who this person is and how he is “objectively evil” so I might be entirely wrong in this case.
