@AdaraAstin@supervolcano.angryshark.eu that’s also in turn asking people who were body shamed themselves to be the bigger person. Also, sometimes shaming is a form of coping. It sounds a little illogical, but subconsciously some people are shown that shame = love. That commenting on someone’s body is acceptable if you are trying to “help” the person. That it’s almost encouraged. So don’t jump to conclusions on why people shame others. It’s not that cut and dry tbh.

@zeroforks@mastodon.social I'm not worried about intentions. I'm worried about not causing harm. I'm saying, "Don't punch down, don't (non-consensually) harm or contribute to the harm of others." It doesn't need mental gymnastics. It's pretty basic.
