    Mod hat:

    Hey, there are a millions of ways of making fun of Trump without body shaming. Body shaming affects everyone, and Trump will not see your comment.

      I completely agree that name calling should be off the table, but as long as baby hands continues to body shame and use pejorative nicknames on public forums, I have no problem with equal treatment.

      I don’t see the benefits of giving special treatment to abhorrent people.

        Okay, well, youre going to be banned if you keep doing it. “But he started it” isnt a valid reason to body shame here.

          My argument is not that he started it, my argument is that donnie consistently attacks other people via body shaming and there’s no reason why he should not wear the clothes he’s fashioned.

          Is diaper don okay? Cheeto, is it specifically body shaming that makes you uncomfortable?

          If you just like donny and want to use that mod power to protect him, that’s your prerogative, I’m just trying to get the rules clear, because Donnie in no way has earned the respect of his proper name.

            Cheeto is fine, diapers seems ageist

            If you just like donny and want to use that mod power to protect him,

            I’m not being cynical when I say you shouldn’t use bigoted insults. I’m literally a trans communist, people like Trump want to kill me.

              Thanks for the answer; i always found the Cheeto epithet a little tame since he likes being orange but doesn’t like people noticing his hands, but I’ll make future donny pejoratives avoid body shaming specifically.

              I don’t think you’re being cynical.

              High fives for trans communism, why not travel since there are so many countries and so many of them are nicer and more favorable toward at least one and often both of those lifestyles? I’m assuming you’re in the states.

                Because this is my home and I’m fighting for it to not be a hellscape. If/when trans genocide measures look like they’re going national, I will move.

                  I realized American capitalist opportunity was a sham and then realized most American ideals were hollow, and the lack of any permanent positive American ideal pretty much did away with any sense of home left for me here, but I respect and appreciate your determination and give my sincere best wishes to your campaign.
