Bad make up.
When joing a community called badmakeup, one is naive enough to assume that it will be about making fun of the make up people wear. It seems logical enough, "badmakeup" is about bad makeup. I have been in the community for quite some time, and you know what I've learned? It's about making fun of the people wearing the make up. Whole new ballgame, fuckers.
First, a little basic celebrity bashing, based on make up and clothing. "dirty thug hippie." "I hate that thing. It's ultra useless." and Fugly, dirty, skanky, no talent white trash hot mess, cause judging off of make-up and clothing is a great way to judge someone's personality. And that's right, someone referred to a HUMAN BEING as a 'useless thing'. I'm sorry, but weren't we here to make fun of her make up? Not trash her?
Another Celeb post: "I hate this bitch."
"Ugh, look at all the white caked between the tits of that last thing." Oh, I see, if I person is deemed unattractive enough, they're just a thing. Nice. Wonderful.
Mocking someone with downs: here, because that is what all the cool kids are doing.
I can't find the link, but there was one picture of someone who drew watermelon pieces on the eyelids. Wether is was bad make up or not, I don't remember. All anyone could focus on was that it was on a black woman. Racist comments insued, complete with a racist macro. I wish I could find it.
Finally, the one that bothers me the most, as it is most prevalent in the community. Transphobia. Some people were trying to be moderately respectful, others... "oh wait... is this a she? or a he? i have trouble telling..."
I can't take it anymore. If it was just making fun of makeup, I'd be able to handle it. You know what? No. I realized while reading the comments to many posted looking for the examples above, just how disrespectful the whole damn idea of the community is. I'm done. Fuck it.
