Well yeah, have my mental health stuff in balance n am comfy in my own skin. Know what I look like compared to "mainstream" stuff an am not fussed about it. Just was pointin' out that ignoring things in many cases won't fix anything. Didn't say bullying always got to me, or deeply affected me. Am livin' my best life an more than likely the assholes who were racist bullying fucks are stuck in their tiny shit town doin' nothing with their lives. Just said it did no stop and in fact escalated from ignoring them. Your trite words have pretty much zero relevance to what I said.
If people "didn't moan an just ignored it" black people would still be having separate entrances to buildings in the USA/etc. Gay marriage wouldn't be allowed. Certain amount o push back to bullshit is needed for change to happen. An change CAN happen.
Wow, you hage completly blown that out of proportion.
Firstly, we have to accept there will always be nasty peoole in the world. Thats life. There will alwtas be bullys. No matter the law, rules or a policy, they will bully. Id love to think that they could be stopped, some may, some wont. But the easist way to stop any hurt is hiw we percieve the comments. If i dobt let it bother me then no harm done. For me. If i shout, or cry, or moan, they win, they wont stop, they will keep doing it.
What you described at the end is much bigger, thats a countries society that needs changing.
Racism was awful but people genuinley didnt think their actions were unjust... how i dont knpw, but they didnt. Societies change, not because of a comment online, or a school ground stand, but because peoole rise in the appropriate way, make change on a bigger scale.
When it comes to racism, what really was the difference between us? Nothing other than skin pigment, you was no healthier, or more advanced, we are all the same. And when that message got out people learnt to accept it as normal. And thank christ they did.
The issue with weight, is that scientist are always publically saying how bad being over or under weight is. How is adds strain to healthcare, etc etc this means peoole are always getting information that curves their views. Rather than information that says 'we are all the same'
So if we want change we have to tackle the much bigger issue there.
It wont change with karen on the internet.
Im an open minded person, i dont care if you are a man women, pan, bi, trans, muslim, jewish, christian, overwright, under, black, white or green.etc. Just be yourself and dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. But perhaps accept that other people are not so open minded. So dont expect them to be just yet. It takes a long time for views to change globally.
Story time, when my grandad went into a home he use to refuse the lovely philippino lady because he was bought up in a racist time. Fast forward 6months, and he was telling me how wonderful the same women was, "shes flown all the way around the world to care for me" it was lovely to see his views change. All it took was a little kidness and compassion.
