Is that why the text they wrote was so disturbing to read? Have they lived in an echo chamber for so long that they think itâs okay to talk about a person like theyâre a cadaver. Fâing creepy
On one hand, rating peoples' appearance is the whole point of that subreddit, but on the other hand... My God, do these guys have a talent for making it disgustingly creepy.
I wouldn't even expect actual cosmetic surgeons to talk like that.
Okay so this is anecdotal but there is (was?) a subreddit called transpassing and I feel like it ended up having an unsettling vibe as well at times. People would end up giving opinions there that boiled down to âyou wonât pass until you get cosmetic surgeryâ. It felt like it fed into peopleâs anxieties about passing rather than being a positive environment, and as well became a space where transmedicalists could thrive.
I dunno I guess my point is that maybe itâs just a bad idea in general to have a space where you judge peopleâs appearance, because it will always devolve.
I went back to reddit after that whole âprotestâ and that sub got popular during that period, it kept popping up in /r/all front page for me. That probably shows what kind of people made it popular.
