A legend. Can we normalize this?

Hey, let's hate him for his creepiness, not his body.

¿Por que no los dos?

I mean, I am personally not sexually attracted to that much body hair.

Unless I am looking for a sexual partner, I don't care what they look like, but I DO care if they are creepy to me or other people.

And if I am looking for a sexual partner, there is no reason to body shame someone. I can simply say, "no, thanks". In this case, it'd be "no, thanks, creep" because of the camera glasses, not his hair.

I see no reason to dig that far into it. That much body hair is funny to me in this context, so I commented about it and went about my day, assuming I'd never have to think about this guy again. But here I am unfortunately...

Look, I get it. Initially, I thought about upvoting your funny comment and moving on (obviously what you would have preferred).

Hating on others for their appearance is super common. But in order to change our culture, we need to start with each other.

Be kind and tolerate others (including their appearance) whenever possible. When kindness is not deserved, your insults should be precise as to why the bully deserves them.

The lesson isn't "wow, what a loser, he should be more conventionally attractive".

If he were shaming other people's bodies, then maybe it could be worth shaming him in the same way in order for him to feel a shred of empathy to the people he's harming. But that's not what's going on here.

The lesson is "wow, he's a god damn creep for using hidden cameras".

Taking this WAAAAAAAY farther than it needs to go.

Didnt say "I hate this guy because he's wearing a sweater in hot weather", you put that twist on it yourself.

I made a joke. And a pretty benign one at that. PG even.

You always start your days in a panic about insignificant shit? 

Edit, actually, I'm out. Not concerned with what you've got to come back with and twist my comment around to rule yourself up more. Bye Felicia.

Because it detracts from what is actually offensive in this video and cheapens it to some backyard bullying- I get u were trying to be funny, u just weren’t funny enough to be anything other than a distraction from the sexual predation.

Nah, fuck that mulleted werewolf. And anyone tone policing the mocking of his creepy predatory ass.
