Not a social Justice Post. At all.
As noted by the title this isn't a social justice post. At all. However I will be talking (albeit very briefly as I don't have a lot of time to type this shit up) about something I find psychically sickening and I just need to get off of my chest.

The link above me is towards a Facebook Page called "Teen Swag :3". Now me and my friends occasionally go on these sorts of pages in the deliberate act of messing with the original poster and the general sort of egotistical arrogance that tends to accompany these sort of things. However as I went into the page I discovered something. It was fucking mean spirited. I do try not to swear so much as I just don't really like it, but this situation calls for it. I'm not just talking little "I'm so ugly don't look at me" I'm talking full blown "Like this picture of a girl smiling because she's pretty so therefore she's so much better than this other girl down here who appears to be overweight and probably mental health issues". Now this page also contains a picture saying "Bullying isn't right".
You are not allowed to go around claiming how you're not a bully therefore you can go against it, whilst making fun of these women because of their body sizes. Now I as a rule try to avoid feminism and instead focus on equality for all. I believe that whilst women should have a more prominent role in mainstream media (such as a detective show for instance), media for niche audiences such as Shonen jump manga should be aloud to present women how they want. They are not aiming for women and it is not intend for them. As such the same should go for womens publications, sexualise men all you want. See every-man as a penis with legs for all I care. However, don't judge people by their body. Like Bodies. Love Bodies. Lust over them, but do not judge a person for who they actually are based on them and how one person is better than another for how they look.
Anyway. I've said my piece. I guess this is a social justice post after all.
it's not that it'll make any difference.
