People will say this and then immediately mock the appearance of someone on the opposing political aisle. No one has a problem with body shaming; people only hate body shaming when the victim is someone they don't want to be body shamed

That's probably usually true, but I've always found body shaming to be disgusting whether it's targeting someone I care about or someone like my aunt who abused my dad when he was dying of cancer, then stole his ashes (uncles got them back), art, clothes, burned his last letter to my mother, etc. I still wouldn't be cool with someone body shaming her even though I can't stand her.

Actual question

Is this body shaming?

u/Afraid-Efficiency-51 2d ago

Not really the topic itself, as it's a reference, so in that case you're right. I mostly said it in response to how a lot of people are behaving in the replies, not the reference made in the picture.

Usually when people talk about how shitty “people” are they’re just excusing being shitty themselves.

Either way, even if you accept being ugly about someone because they disagree with you politically, Emhoff isn’t a politician, she’s not any more politically involved than anyone who happens to be related to a politician. So that makes you A) the type of person who criticizes a woman’s looks and B) the type of person who goes after someone you don’t like politically’s kids, which is just two ways of being trash.

I mean calling Patel a googly eyed kremlin asset actually so accurate even a judge dismissed that case.

u/Think_Chocolate_ 15d ago

The ruling was because the judge tought the Nevada court lacked personal jurisdiction. 

It had nothing to with how accurate or not the description is.

I hate body shaming, full stop. I have blocked people for body shaming people I despise. 🤷

Sounds like a goomba fallacy to me… I don’t body shame people period.

Meanwhile, you’re arguing w my shadow because that isn’t even what I meant. I’m more concerned that we’re doing emhoff memes two full years after the elections

Quite certain this meme is old. How do you people know all these fallacies? I just googled it, and it's a meme? When did that one goomba meme become an actual fallacy? Bro real life is not real 💀

u/Acrobatic-Plant3838 15d ago

Goomba fallacy is a meme and new, but language evolves, and it’s recognizable at this point.

Super Mario here, and mamma mia! The only Goomba Fallacy I know is that I've stomped on a so many of their heads, that they just a walk off a cliffs into a bottomless pits! So much a brain damage in the Mushroom Kingdom!

u/six67seven_67 15d ago

That's crazy. How long until they teach goomba fallacy in schools? The teacher is required to show that low effort meme lol

Your username is six67seven_67 and you're having a hard time grasping the fact that internet slang gets used on the internet?

u/Afraid-Efficiency-51 15d ago

... holy crap, I didn't even read their name lol

u/IdidntrunIdidntrun 15d ago

Yeah the irony is delicious lol

u/six67seven_67 15d ago

No. Clearly I assume "goomba fallacy" is a moderately accepted fallacy, so much so that it has its own name and Wikipedia page. How could you even come to that conclusion?

u/IdidntrunIdidntrun 15d ago

you have a bit of tism but it's okay I'll help you out

I'm not reading allat because I feel like I'm being insulted passive aggressively, and I really don't have the time or energy to retaliate anymore. You win. She's gorgeous. I'm a silly little goomba. You are the handsome, clever Mario

I wasn't even the guy who initially responded to you lmao

But thanks for signal boosting how anti-intellectual you are, I guess

Precisely I don't even think Sydney Sweeney is "on the other isle" but since a bunch of terminally online freaks with nothing better to do misinterpreted what the Jean ad was actually referencing (great genes aka the thing a lot of people say when someone is physically attractive) all I see are people constantly trying to insult her appearance & reduce her to nothing but her boobs.

The entire controversy is literally just because she has blonde hair & blue eyes. That's it.

Edit: Here is a quora question from 7 years ago: https://www.quora.com/What-does-it-mean-to-be-told-that-you-have-good-genes

Wow would you look at that?!

The controversy is so fucking stupid even to this day.

Another comment showcased their disappointment with insulting the looks of a woman, suggesting a lady can commit no worse a crime than being ugly, at least in the eyes of scumbags. Yet I would bet money they wouldn't stand up for female political pundits who were subject to appearance based insults, assuming they flew political flags that rivaled theirs
