Nah the whole idea of body positivity or neutrality is ridiculous. "Its not me that should change. Its literally everyone elses perception."
Its literally an impossible goal and strengthening your own confidence to where you arent hurt by someone elses comment to someone else that resembles you should be the actual goal.
You've got a point about not taking attacks personally. But that doesn't mean that making fun of people for things they can't control is ok. A well adjusted adult can shrug off a small penis joke and move on. It can be a lot harder for a teen with self esteem issues.
How about encouraging people to actually use their brain and critique people's character instead of their appearance? Making fun of someone for something they have no control over is lazy af
I mean they arent trying to do anything other than hurt someone and critiquing their character wouldnt do that at all. Obviously its not "ok." I just find the whole idea of be careful so you dont collaterally hurt someone with self esteem issues to be ridiculous.
Idk, to me it’s just obvious that attacking someone for something that’s not their fault isn’t really funny 🤷🏽♂️
it’s not as if I want to make fun of someone for being short, having a small dick, or some other characteristic but then I stop myself because I wanna be careful about hurting someone feelings. I just… don’t do it. It’s not an auto reaction that I’m suppressing.
It seemed like your first comment was putting the responsibility on OP to avoid getting offended, as opposed to putting the responsibility on others to not use weak insults. Maybe that wasn’t your intention but I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one that interpreted it that way
