I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance.

We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset.

When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people.

There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies.

Mock their words, but not their looks.

When I read posts in which people are writing cruel things about appearance, voice, etc., I tend to discount whatever else they may have to say.

It's true that sometimes people (including me) choose clothing, hairstyles or makeup that others find comical or absurd. It's possible to give your opinion about these types of things (such as a discussion here earlier today about corduroy pants) without turning it into bullying and public shaming of specific individuals.
