body shaming is pretty shitty behavior, maybe don’t sink to their level
if anything point out the hypocrisy of them endorsing gender affirming elective surgery but denying it to others based on arbitrary criteria usually based in religious and antiscientific beliefs
But being like “hurr look at how fucking ugly this plastic faced woman is” is just as misogynistic as when right wing media plasters a bunch of pictures of alt women and rag on their appearance or tears apart images of trans women.
Pointing out the hypocrisy does fuck all, they know they’re fucking hypocrites and they will do and say anything for themselves. I’m going to stick with body shaming these pieces of shit cos mirroring their shitty behavior back on them has been the one thing I’ve noticed that shuts magats the fuck up. All you’re doing is appeasing them and doing what they want you to do to bait you into some bullshit “debate”
Hate the post all you want but classic neolib behavior. “You’re my friend when you’re on my team but then when you’re against me the internalized homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, fatphobia, etc I’ve been suppressing will come right out and I’ll go right back to call of duty lobby language”
Be better
Get off your high horse
“It’s okay when I do it you see”
My horse is extremely low. Call them a piece of shit if you want. Call them transphobic monsters, call them callous enablers of genocide, etc
But if you engage in body shaming because you don’t agree with them, or if you mock their ethnicity, gender, orientation, etc I assume you are no better than them. You are ultimately just waiting to take the mask off to reveal your phobic behavior and inner bully
Yawn
Hate spreads hate
Well, as a queer who has been called many things many times by magats who want me dead since Trump got re-elected, I don’t really give a fuck about them in any way anymore and I’m not going to be a welcoming person to someone who wants me dead. They can suck my glock
