Wow. Im not sure what to say to this.

You mean to what I'm saying or to what the article I linked is saying?

The article

I fully agree on what your saying dude

It's amazing how everything is turning into a positive movement, and of course insulting the so-called positivity as laziness or grossness will get defended by moronic and dank social media maggots.

Following that, someone turning it into a commentary video for clicks about how "They are losing faith in humanity!" stuff.

You couldn't be more right about that.

Dude, I wish there was a like button here cause OH MU GOD...

Honestly, one should never doubt someone could take an otherwise fine and inoffensive idea (like not devaluing a person for body type or hygiene), and spin it into full-blown belief that it is ones right to be tolerated of your own disgusting behavior.

Like, feel bad about your body? Then work on it! Don't just end with telling people that you don't care, you do, that's why you feel so bad about it. Stop looking for validation from elsewhere!

goooood it is true. This is so stupid. Okay, I got bad hormones and get bad acne, heck, I had a horrible cyst on the side of my face for a few weeks. Not a single person mentioned it, and I cared and fixed it, and all that is left is a slightly rough spot on my skin. Why the fuck do people find it okay to have those kinds of things on their faces and not care for it? Is that how fucking lazy we have become that now it's acceptable to not do anything?
Okay... I get it, some kids are horrible with the pimples. I went to school with a few who... I feel for them. A face that was nearly 100% red and looked painful constantly. But you never pointed it out. You never made fun of them for that. Acne is a pain. It hurts, and in my life, no one ever pointed it out on anyone else because they knew what it was like. The ONLY time anyone ever said anything about another persons Acne is when a classmate maybe was spending a little to much time poking at it in public and ended up bleeding or something else gross and where asked to go and excuse themselves. Nothing meant to embarrass them, and no one else paid attention because most people have had a horribly huge pimple and yeah, it looks bad and hurts.

And now... America. Fuck this. South park has an ENTIRE EPISODE over this kinda shit. James Cameron cannot keep bring the bar up from Challenger Deep.

Urggg this is so stupid. Why do people constantly have to get attention in such gross ways.

Just the title of that article alone... what the hell? Sure, acne is natural so you shouldn't be ashamed of having it. But when I had acne during my teenage years I tried everything I could to get rid of it because it felt uncomfortable and I sure as hell felt bad when looking at myself in the mirror.

Add this, along with the rest of those SJW maggots, under George Carlin's list of people who ought to be killed.

Uhh... gross?

read the article and did my bit of research. literally no one is actually saying pimples are in. while i personally believe acne is a common thing that everyone has to deal with due to stress and various other sources, and shouldn't be a defining factor in the concept of beauty, i also see that that article heavily censored their comment section, removing a lot of the negative feedback, and then there's the comments on how to get rid of acne, which was most of the feedback. they are the only actual news publisher that is saying this, and while beiber did say that stupid crap, acne won't ever be in.

Fuck all these "positivity" movements to hell. I never see anything like this for muscles.

But what? ... Is this true?
This acceptance is out of control.
Having acne should be treated, not going out to show off.

It's good to see people who are still rational.

I haven't even heard of this acceptance movement.

Here's the bottom line in three points:

1. Being cruel to someone for being different is never acceptable, even if that difference is something objectively harmful to one's self and can be managed or eliminated by the afflicted. But even still...

2. ...Some people are just gonna be jerks to you for a variety of personal reasons, so the onus is on you to figure out how to let it roll off your shoulders and have enough self confidence that you aren't emotionally crippled by other people's negative opinions of you. (This is just one reason why I support teaching social/emotional intelligence in public schools.) However, just because someone is mean to you over something doesn't always mean the appropriate response is to double down and dig in your heels, because...

3. ... Some qualities ARE objectively harmful and just plain bad and shouldn't be celebrated. True self confidence and self love (the psychologically healthy kind) means recognizing your own flaws and working to correct them as best as you can. It doesn't mean just blindly accepting how you are as if everything about you is unchangeable. Some things can and should be changed.

If someone has a medical condition that leaves them with horrific acne that current medicine cannot fix, then yes, I can understand a movement to promote tolerance of such outliers. But not everyday Joes who just need better hygiene.

I fail to understand something. It seems a lot of people are saying acne is something that can be treated easily and that goes away if you take care of your skin. And in a good chunk of cases, it is.

But that's it: a good CHUNK. Not ALL. For some people, nothing works and acne keeps coming back (that's even mentioned in the article). I should know, I've been plagued by this for more than a decade. I'm fortunate not to have the most on my face so it can stay hidden, but it's a colossal pain.

So, what should I do about something that is highly frequent but refuses to go away for some people and other people point at when they see it? Keeping hearing "Ewww, you should fix that" or starting something to say "hey, acne happens and sometimes, you can't fix that, stop watching us like unwashed freaks, please". Of course, whiny entitled brats who don't take care of themselves when that's all needed to fix that are not included, that's their own problem.


Oh, BTW, "Brushing your teeth", if that refers to the classic "why are your teeth yellow and ugly, you don't brush them?", same thing here. Not everyone has white, well-aligned, well-sized teeth. Sometimes genetics fuck you up and nothing you can do can fix that.

If you've done everything you can to help fix your acne then obviously you're not lazy in your hygiene practices

Yes, but how do others know that so they don't automatically assume you are lazy?

I'd say that there's nothing to you can do to prevent people from assuming, only remain responsible for your own assumptionsf

So... people affected by that kind of things should just deal with it, shut up and not try to try a movement saying "it's OK to have acne if you can't do anything about that, and other people shouldn't mock or insult you for that and assuming", because it's a "lazy" thing, but the people assuming things are a normal thing and you shouldn't try to change that or even start a debate about it?

Uuuuuh... no. Those who struggle to fight acne should continue to do what they can to at least treat the symptoms and keep an ear out for new treatments. As far as assuming goes all each of us as individuals can do is make sure we don't act upon our assumptions as if they're infallible. If someone is such a jerk as to mock someone based on the fact they have acne, then fuck 'em for all I care.

Well, that's pretty much what that girl is trying to say.

But of course, the Guardian, "expert" as it often is put a click-bait title and people only read that and concluded "people with acne want to make acne cool, that's disgusting", when it's ready "hey, acne happens and under the tons of make-up, some famous people have that too, so please stop acting like it's an easy-to-treat thing only lazy slobs have that you should keep pointing at".

Honestly, I personally find the article itself written a bit too patronizing. I have read it a bit later and yeah, true to you word, there's nothing wrong with the message.

But I personally can't help but feel like the author is trying to pull some emotional strings talking about revolution for those seeking to be accepted yadayada... I understand that acne has been tough to you, and honestly promoting knowledge in regards to different conditions, how to treat them, how they affect you, why they happen and why not everyone can easily get rid of them is great! In regards to what you asked above, you gotta know that first impressions are skin deep.

I met a girl in middle school, bad skin and one lazy eye, yet she became one of my best friends and I had no trouble overlooking appearance cause that didn't matter anything to how she was like. That said, this admittedly leads to "You should try harder to make up with your personality as to over your looks" situation, which still makes it difficult in some cases (maybe in careers, but hey, you could be happy at least you know which ones are actually about hard work over looking pretty).

Here's the thing, as long as people have eyes, appearances will matter. Teaching about acne and their problems is good sentiment, and these communities will likely help many like themselves.
The author sadly is a bit patronizing about this for my taste.

I know its 6 years late But apparently a 500 pound woman is suing lyft because the driver cancled a ride on her because his car cant handle the weight safely, she since got the lyft driver fired and is being a" plus sized activist" when in truth she is just spoiled and didn't like that she was told no and didnt want to pay extra for a lyft xl her own words" I shouldn't have to pay for a lyft xl" "people should accommodate me" Now I am a bit big myself( no where NEAR her size) but I would NEVER do this. THIS is the end result of this movement

Oh my god i completely forgot about this.

And to think that was at least normal compared to today's crazies.
