Quite frankly, get out of here with that body shaming. You're as bad as the men on reddit.

Oh my god, who the hell cares about "shaming." Shame is a healthy and productive element of a functioning society. This culture of "you can never say anything is bad because it might hurt someone's feelings" needs to stop.

Ok, I don't know if I agree with that. But I didn't see any shaming going on here.

Excessive shame can be counterproductive, but shame serves an important function. It's an important regulator of behavior. People who post endlessly about their diaper fetishes in Twitter should feel more shame. People who jerk off in front of unwilling participants should feel shame. Pedophiles should feel shame. Trying to eliminate shame wholesale from society is just as counterproductive as overdoing it.

It's okay to say that bad things are bad.
