Legitimately Begging You Guys To Stop Using Bald As Your None Of The Above Answer (and I Do Not Want

legitimately begging you guys to stop using bald as your ‘none of the above’ answer (and I do not want to hear about ‘what if I’m doing a hairstyle quiz?’ you KNOW that’s not what I’m talking about here) bc I don’t think anyone realizes that like. at best in context it’s taken as a joke about default avatars or whatever. at worst, you’re playing into a long history of just being a fucking asshole.

baldness is just a trait its not a joke. I made a post on this a while ago but no one’s hair should be a joke unless the person who styled it intends for it to be. you think of being balding/bald specifically as being funny because popular media has convinced you it is so no one gets bothered when they make fun of bald people. But despite popular belief, hair is generally not a fashion trend, it’s a trait, and the thing is that baldness (like many hair types) is not always a choice. some people chose to be bald. a lot of people do not. people become bald for various reasons, but specifically stuff like various kinds of alopecia or cancer treatment or tension baldness can be incredibly traumatic experiences that are only added to when people treat their hair loss as a funny joke.

please think about it. what is actually funny about other people’s baldness. is there any kind of humor about it which isn’t punching down? because if there isn’t, the joke isn’t funny, it’s just mean.

what happened to vanilla extract? what happened to just saying ‘none of the above’? can we please be normal about balding/bald people for once

Good news! The new Covid-19 vacines are scheduled to be approved soon and could be available by Labor Day (or soon after). The CDC recommends updated shots for everyone 6 months and older.

btw gaining weight and becoming a fat person when you weren’t fat before is not the worst thing that can happen to you. it’s not even in the top 10 or 100 or 1000000000 worst things that can happen to you. your body is going to change over the course of your whole life no matter what you do, and sometimes that includes weight gain even when your levels of activity and diet stay the same. you can either accept it or make yourself a slave to trying to stop it or change it. and idk about you but i have better things to do 👍

Autism thing i hate that it’s considered rude to not like a food and not want to eat it. And i hate that i have to be all apologetic about it instead of people just understanding that foods just aren’t for everyone and a person not wanting to eat something isn’t an insult to anyone’s cooking

“but it wasn’t that bad”

did it hurt? did you feel scared? unsafe? were you embarrassed? humiliated? terrified? did you feel confused on why? does it keep you up at night? do you avoid being in a similar situation? did you cry? did you want to cry? who told you it wasn’t that bad?
