Do you think it's ok to call someone "fucking deluded" and "brainwashed", and make assumptions about their life.... just because you misread their post?

Yeah, I used strong language, intentionally. Because frankly, sometimes strong language is the only thing that cuts through the passive aggressive nonsense that gets dressed up as “reasonable discussion” on here.

“Yeah I mean it’s not small” read as a snide, backhanded comment. It sounded like someone trying to sound balanced while quietly undermining — like saying “it’s fine, I guess” about something clearly above average. That kind of subtle undermining contributes exactly to the warped body expectations that forums like this often feed into.

So yes, I called it out directly. I said fucking deluded and brainwashed because when people constantly measure real bodies against porn standards, that’s what it is.

Honestly, if more people were willing to speak plainly instead of constantly tiptoeing around egos, we might have a healthier baseline for what normal even is.

If someone clarifies their comment, great, and dialogue moves on. But don’t pretend I kicked a puppy just because I didn’t wrap my opinion in bubble wrap. If you’re more outraged by my tone than by the toxic standards being reinforced, then maybe ask yourself why that gets a pass and I don’t.

I’m not here to babysit feelings. I’m here to challenge bullshit when I see it and if I ruffle a few delicate feathers in the process, so be it.
 
I can't see him going full frontal..

Get ready to scream like it’s 1999! Boyband in the Buff is the ultimate throwback concert – starring pop heartthrob Gareth Gates and a cast of ripped and ridiculously talented performers. With nothing but harmonies, dance moves, and a whole lot of skin, the boys belt out the biggest hits of the ‘90s and ‘00s—from Backstreet Boys to NSYNC, Blue to Take That—in a show that’s as nostalgic as it is naughty.

It’s a celebration of pop, passion, and pecs, where the clothes come off and the heat turns up. This is the ultimate night out for anyone who’s ever swooned over a boyband.

Warning: Contains tight harmonies and tighter pants. (At least, for the first few numbers.)
 
I know this is probably the wrong place to talk about this, but I wanted to express how sorry I am for him regarding his relationship and feud with Katie Price.

Imagine if a male model, known for his wild lifestyle, mutlipe flings with celebrities, exposing himself in public and selling his stories to the papers began dating a 17 year old wannabe singer, who was also a virgin. Then imagine if that male model, roughly 24, began dating the singer in secret, and was their first lover. When the broke up the male model, he then sold his story to the papers and told everyone what the girl was like in bed, and what her genitals looked like. That male model would be ostrocised and repulsed immediately.

Instead, Katie Price did that to 17 year old, Gareth, a child, and to make matters worse, she was nearly 6 months pregnant at the time. She wrote all about it in her book, not to mention in interviews. No wonder he wanted to keep it secret. It's bad enough that she has no shame at the way she talked about him, treating him as if he was a monster, but the fact that she doesn't seem to see what she did was wrong. What makes me angry is the fact she keeps attacking him after all these years, and even (if memory serves) to take pleasure in his break-ups. It's a completely hypocritacal standard. She should have been cancelled or at least, called out for the way she behaved, and still behaves with him. Instead, it's taken as an acceptable double-standard.

I'll get off my soapbox now.
