Is that why the text they wrote was so disturbing to read? Have they lived in an echo chamber for so long that they think it’s okay to talk about a person like they’re a cadaver. F’ing creepy

On one hand, rating peoples' appearance is the whole point of that subreddit, but on the other hand... My God, do these guys have a talent for making it disgustingly creepy.

I wouldn't even expect actual cosmetic surgeons to talk like that.

They rate according to extremely rigid rules which, aside from being racist, are ridiculously unfair.

Okay so this is anecdotal but there is (was?) a subreddit called transpassing and I feel like it ended up having an unsettling vibe as well at times. People would end up giving opinions there that boiled down to “you won’t pass until you get cosmetic surgery”. It felt like it fed into people’s anxieties about passing rather than being a positive environment, and as well became a space where transmedicalists could thrive.

I dunno I guess my point is that maybe it’s just a bad idea in general to have a space where you judge people’s appearance, because it will always devolve.
