    Normally, one should not mock someone’s appearance. But, I think fascists and nazis are excluded from this ruleset.

      Hitler’s mustache is now so closely associated with nazis and fascism that we would rightly mock anyone who unironically kept their facial hair that way. Lauren Boebert’s eyebrows don’t feel like they deserve the same treatment, since it is very normal for many women with leftist values to keep up their appearance in a similar way. The eyebrows are not the problem; her beliefs are.

      Mocking someones appearance is like dropping a bomb. You might hit your target but this shit has a radius and so you might also hit innocent people.

      People who might be already hurting and are insecure. And hurting those people because you are not clever enough to come up with something precise is weak.
