    A true shitty shit post.

    And unpopular opinion: makeup is totally silly. Why would anyone seriously paint their faces to look “better” than they actually do? Is the world that insecure? I never really understood the appeal. Except with “legitimate” groups like clowns or gothics etc.

      If makeup is not for you, that’s fine. But your assumption that people must wear it for you is rather arrogant. People wear makeup because they want to, because it makes them feel better for various reasons. Let people have their things, especially if they don’t affect you at all.

        They can do whatever they want. It’s just a prejudgment. For me, it’s just an instant turn-off like smoking or treating weaker people badly.

        And surely, if anyone can do whatever they want, that includes me and my judgment 😁

          Unlike your other examples makeup hurts absolutely nobody. It has zero affect on you or anyone else. But sure, it is absolutely within your rights to dislike people wearing makeup.

        I don’t think they said people should not be silly. I think they just observed that sometimes people do silly things.

      It seems to start in the teenage years for women. They are surrounded by ads for various make up things that they don’t need. Some have acne issues which sets them on the road to make up everyday. Yeah make up is nonsense. But the shitpost was about not giving a fuck, not make up

        Fair points. Replied too quickly and might’ve overseen the last “not give a fuck” part 🫤

      Why would anyone seriously dress nicely to look “better”? Is the world that insecure?

      Why would anyone take care of their health to look “better”? Is the world that insecure?

      Welcome to society where you are being forced to comply with societal expectations. Which is bullshit, and thankfully we are killi g it off bit by bit, but yeah.

        There’s still a tiny difference (to me at least) between dressing nicely (which is very subjective) or taking care of ones health and painting my face to look like something different.

        I don’t care what people do though. Just a personal opinion.

          it’s when other people are starting to give you that “Do(n’t) they see the way they look/are acting??” face, yet one continues to refuse to confront the personal toll being taken does it begin to stray into madness. no one really knows much about how to take care of ourselves or each other, so without some form of obvious staring-you-in-the-face feedback it is often impossible for most of us to notice when we begin causing damage
