This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Body shaming of men in current year 2024 is more acceptable to society at large than body shaming of women in current year 2024, if you're seriously denying that you're not paying attention or are stuck on "but it used to be-" yet we're talking about the current "2024" year that is the one we're in. Literally just observe or try body shaming both for yourself (for science only lol) and find out, if someone calls body shaming men out here it was probably me lol.
What I'm saying is that "Woman fat" has become an unacceptable comment in 2024, while it may have been acceptable in the past, it no longer is at least largely, yet "man with truck have small peepee," is still largely lauded as comedic genius in 2024. I'm saying "one go down but the other go up," which you seem to actually agree with I think.
I'm also saying that public perception of body shaming depends on the gender shamed: When men are shamed for body related things like not enough hair, fat, small wiener, or short, the majority of responses are "funny" or "truu" or "slay," yet when women are shamed for excess hair, fat, small titti, or tall, the comments are all "body positivity," etc. This may be the part we disagree on, but we'll just have to keep disagreeing lol.
I'm just trying to get to the point where it doesn't matter what gender is body shamed, there's some consistency applied to the "don't make fun of people for what they can't control" bit, if that's the direction we're moving in.
Honestly it seems like we may agree more than disagree.
I can agree with that. I don't think people are used to having to take men's feelings into consideration (with the body shaming or, like, anything to be fair) the same way they do with women, and are usually less empathetic to them because of that.
It was a pleasure discussing this with you, even if we disagree on some things. I think both of are hearts are in the right place, and I can't be mad at that. And, next time, I hope to be in the comments with you to call it out tooπ€πΎ
I can agree with that as well. It was indeed nice discussing with you as well, all too often comments can get too heated and it's always nice to have a regular ol' pleasant conversation even when we disagree a bit lol. I hope to see you there with me too! :Handshake: (I hope that text I just typed becomes an emoji lol
..nope! Oh well lol ykwim!)
