      It’s funny, I only posted this comment to see the reaction. Specifically because several times recently I’ve seen things like we shouldn’t boob shame Lauren Boebert even though she’s a POS. Those comments were upvoted and got comments of agreement coming in. I’ve always experienced that these societal rules are only for people who are members of certain groups. If it’s someone you don’t like and is a white guy, anything is on the table. So I post this and you accuse me (falsely) of supporting pedophiles. Why the hypocrisy? Thank you for confirming my suspicions in spectacular fashion.

        Hypocrisy? I’ll call an idiot, an idiot regardless of their age, weight, looks, race, gender, social status, country, blah, blah, blah.
        Trash is trash.
        And just an FYI, when someone is garbage and hated like boebert, gaetz, musk, trump, vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley, tim scott, the kardashians, people will pick on the obvious. What do they look like, how do they act, etc.
        Anyone can be garbage.

          But again, I see people speaking out when someone “body shames” that garbage and it happens to be a woman. When it’s a man, I get accused of being a pedophile for pointing out the hypocrisy. Even if YOU specifically happen to be the one exception (which I don’t concede you are) it’s still a general behavior across sites like this, reddit, etc. People love to make rules for everyone else, but then hold themselves exempt to those exact same rules.

            Internet rule #1 Some people just like to troll others.
            Some posters may actually be concerned about ‘body shaming’, but many people just like to stir shit up and argue with the internets. So a scientific observation, it is not.
            It’s just like reading through posts on any social media that contain spelling errors and heavy ‘auto correct’ entries, you just need to get a feel for what the poster is actually saying.
            And… some people are soooo serious about everything.
            If you would rather me body shame you instead of accusing you of being a pedo that’s fine too. Or if you want to be an anorexic pedo, I can give you both, I’m not stingy.
            And you are free to call me any name you like, I’ve heard them all, couldn’t care less.
            Sociologically, humans get stuck in certain behaviors like calling women removed (when they never were) but claiming men are ‘legends’ for the exact behavior they just accused women of (that’s right manremoved, we see you). These ‘default’ behaviors have existed for hundreds of years (not that it’s a good thing). So you will always come across that. And anyone defending trash like boebert is either trolling, addicted to anger posting, desperate to sleep with her (ewwwww!!), or boebert herself.
