I think he's an oddly shaped moron, but I do find it really funny how the people who are supposedly all about body positivity and not putting others down are all gung ho about tearing apart the physical attributes of people they despise.
Hypocritical much?
Using intolerance against the intolerant isn't intolerant though.
If a Nazi is busy being a Nazi it's morally acceptable to say they look like an especially malformed mold reject of a Quasimodo figurine.
That is almost the dumbest thing I've read on this website today.
You guys always have excuses for why your cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy is actually morally alright.
It's not me dipshit read a book for fucks sake.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance#%3A%7E%3Atext=The+paradox+of+tolerance+is%2Cthe+very+principle+of+tolerance.
what if I lurk here, despise the man and happen to be physically very similar to him?
No one would know and moreover if you aren't super intolerant the rule wouldn't apply to you anyway.
would you worry I'd feel insecure with my appearance, though? should I just avoid these comments when I see them?
Again what you look like is irrelevant, it's not even really about it he even is weird looking or not. The fact it bothers him is relevant though. You can take offense if you want but it's a bit like being upset about someone making fun of Hitler for being a dopehead because you are a dopehead. There are some similarities but ideally there are huge huge deviations like murdering a couple million people or whatever.
I, personally, am taking no offense. I might be feeling more self-concious, tho
You say my likeness is irrelevant, but it did not feel irrelevant to me when I 've seen the post. Not that I assume that what I've felt should be relevant to you, I just decided to share these thoughts
If there are such good, explainable reasons to shit on this shitbag, I don't see how our similarities have any weight
I also hope I didn't just murder humour
You used you as the example not me I just used the same language to answer the question.
But it doesn't, you're quite literally looking for a reason to complain and in turn defend a Nazi. It's a weird choice and not one I would make but certainly one you are free to choose.
There's a ton some just hurt their ego which is really what they care about, but no no let's not hurt the Nazis feelings because maybe perhaps some theoretical person might take offense. It's even weirder when you know this is him trying to be less weird and with like over a billion dollars to do it and somehow he ended up shaped like a LEGO minifig.
There are also people that aren't so much in the body positivity movement that make fun of Elon musk, but I guess you must have done your research
While I'm not in the camp that would make fun of him for his appearance (his existence is already a big enough joke), I think the logic comes from separating shaming people for their body versus attacking someone that you dislike and picking their body as the target. The key difference being in the reason for the body-centered insult; one is tied to hate for different looking people, whereas the other is tied to hating the person and finding something to attack about them.
