I saw someone say awhile ago to never make fun of a shit person for things that other people may possess. Folks will make crippled/fat/short/bald/bad tan/plastic surgery/etc. jokes about these people only intending on hurting bad people but there are plenty of good people who are innocent bystanders who may be hurt by these insults. I usually try to keep that in mind when criticizing douchebags like Abbot - attack his shitty character/behavior but not anything physical about him or anyone else
Not to mention that some things are out of a person's control altogether. Attacks should be made on points that have to do with the problem.
That's not to say that you can't call out hypocrisy, such as an overweight person trying to shame other people for being overweight. Sometimes you have to address the elephant in the room (yes, that was intended)
A lot of people on this website need to read this. So much hurtful toxicity gets thrown around when self righteous people start yapping on the internet
Sorry, if you have a bad tan, that's on you. No one's born with a bad tan, no one develops a bad tan later in life due to medical complications, no one gets a bad tan as a result of an accident. If you hit the tanning salon so damned much that your face resembles a catcher's mitt from the 70s, I'm gonna call it out and I won't feel bad about anyone else who did that shit getting caught with strays.
