Now before I begin, I know exactly what I'm getting myself into here. I'm prepared for the flaming and the insults, but I'm going to put on my brave face here, and finally say something which I believe has been on a lot of other member's minds, but nobody wants to speak up in fear of being ridiculed. Inappropriate
I've noticed some people, if not a lot of people, on these forums somehow think criticizing, comparing, and making rather disgusting comments on a females appearance is okay. Now, I'm not sure what you guys talk about privately or around your "buds" in real life (I mean, I've discussed other people's appearances before to friends in a mature manner) however do you guys do so around the actual girls you're discussing? I'm assuming not, but if you do, seriously, learn better manners.
I know we all like to sit around and post images of models and actresses then critic their looks. It's all in good fun, I acknowledge that and that's fine, but when you're doing so to girls that are SEEING your comments and you're well AWARE they're seeing your comments, what makes you think that's okay? What makes you think because these females post pictures of themselves, that you have the right to say you find them unattractive or compare them to one another? This is NOT okay behavior, and it doesn't matter how much you try to justify it, [b]it never will be okay.[/b] If you went up to a girl in public and said "Meh. 5/10. Seen better", you'd be considered an asshole. If you went up to two girls in public and said one was better looking than the other, you're an asshole. Comment on a girl's picture on Facebook saying "You got a good body, your face on the other had...", you'd be considered an asshole. Just because you're anonymous and because these random females post pictures of themselves online, doesn't make you any less of an asshole. Sorry to inform you.
Now before you all just start slurring comments such as;
>"Well don't post pictures of yourself if you care so much!!!", (which still don't justify such horrible behavior) I don't care. I'm content with my appearance, and if I wasn't, no I wouldn't have had posted pictures of myself. It is all in good fun, and shouldn't be no different than a male member posting a picture. [b]Looks are irrelevant on a internet forum.[/b]
>"Don't be so insecure!" I can ensure you, I'm not. If I was I would have NEVER made a thread like this. I'm prepared for a ton of insults coming my way for simply making this thread.
>"It's an opinion! Deal with it! I can say what I want online." Sometimes it's best to keep opinions to yourself. We all can be judgmental, and I'm definitely no angel myself, but I don't be going up to be people saying negative comments about things they cannot change. That would make me a [b]mean person.[/b] It doesn't matter if you're online or in person, this is still [b]mean.[/b]
>"Like if someone posts art online, I'll tell them how I truly feel so they can improve!" Unlike art, you can't change your appearance, and seriously nobody say plastic surgery.
This thread was made out of curiosity, and curiosity alone. I just want to know why you guys think this behavior is okay. I was going to keep this thread within TFS, but I don't think my main target members will be able to see it. I may regret doing so, but come on guys, for once show everyone we're not such a god awful shit-tier forum. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

These comments are symptoms of greater societal issues. Every one of us is in a minority group, whether it's your race, religion, etc. Every group gets comments like this. But as the past has proven, it's not impossible to advance despite that. Sometimes the best thing you can do about people who act like shitheads is to let them be shitheads, and ignore what they have to say (because it's worthless anyway). Talk about the issues behind what the shitheads are saying, instead of the shitheads themselves.

They do it because they crave attention, be it negative or positive. Not that you would know anything about that...

why is #raisedbywolves a hashtag what am I missing here

The moment you let someone negatively impact you or your life by only using words is the moment you admit your insecurities.

Edited by theTYTAN3: 7/18/2013 10:35:42 PMExactly what do you hope to accomplish by posting pictures of yourself in the first place? Not trying to be mean I just don't get it. (I sincerely hope you answer this question.) As for your question... They don't think their behavior is O.K. It's [u]DELIBERATELY[/u] antagonistic. They're trying to get a rise out of you. They're trying to get you to post something like this. Hell, they're sitting in their chair laughing their asses off every time they post a disgusting comment even when you don't reply because they get to imagine you reading it and getting upset. People are jerks when they can hide behind a username.

Edited by Bolt: 7/18/2013 9:55:12 PMThis argument between Foman and Felicia is tearing the flood apart; they're being forced to decide whether they hate women more than blacks. No cretin should ever be forced to make that decision. [b][i]Not one.[/b][/i]
