  I only body shame people with the wrong attitude, so it’s okay.

    That’s a stupid argument, because if you body shame you’re saying some bodies are “worse” than others, regardless of the reason why. Same reason deadnaming is never good, you’re just invalidating trans people to make a person you don’t like feel bad.

    If they have the wrong attitude, why not criticize that?

      In an ideal world, sure that would be the correct thing to do. But the reality is that, we as human beings, enjoy body shaming people who we disagree with. It’s why it’s fun to body shame people like Trump or calling people like Ben Shapiro a Manlet midget incel loser with a useless micropenis.

        You seem like the type who’d start dropping N bombs if you saw a person of color driving a car you deemed too loud.

        Or maybe getting ableist as fuck if you saw a wheelchair-bound person rolling coal.

        Sure, these are shitty things to do, but body shaming is the weapon of the enemy.

        Seeing deplorable behavior doesn’t give you a free pass to body shame, be racist, ableist, or misogynistic.
