Interested in reading a wide range of opinions. Not intended as a goady thread - I've posted to widen my own perspective.

Father's who choose not to abandon their DC.

You think fathers who choose not to abandon their dc are trashy?

Choose to, not choose not to.

I apologise profusely for my poor editing skills. Judge away. 😉😂

I missed a Y, I missed a NOT. Ah, dear I'm such a clot! 🤣

Those newborn baby photos of them wrapped in muslin cloth in uncomfortable positions and in stupid things like wooden chests, a swing (obviously lying down). They are awful and I bet every child finds them embarrassing.

Edit: I added a NOT.

I thought we’d moved on from an age in which we judge a woman and her whole character based on her appearance.

And what on earth are you talking about with ‘morality and immorality’? Are you saying some women are immoral because of how they dress?

Agree. Post feminism should mean that women can do whatever they want to their bodies without judgment or opinion of others. Including plastic surgery if people decide it’s for them.

I find it trashy if people adopt superior attitude towards female peers either because they’re more beautiful as a result of such enhancements or, by contrast, crowing because they haven’t had work done due to having taken some arbitrary moral high ground.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I judge first on character, not appearance. While tattoos are obviously not character defect, I do however, draw the line at facial tattoos and body modifications such as amputation.

I would say that someone who has chosen to have a limb amputated, has mental health issues. That doesn't make them trashy.

Your thread title is

What do you think looks, or is, trashy? In terms of appearance AND character?

So you're looking to gather opinions on both. I'm wondering how you can judge someone's character when you've already written them off.

More 'beautiful' because of enhancements? What planet are you on? It makes people uglier - men and women. Fish/anus lips are not at all aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps they are for the perpetually horny, pornified and superficial individual.

No one looks more beautiful as a result of 'enhancements'.

No one.

She didn't say anything about a person's looks

What do you think looks, or is, trashy? In terms of appearance AND character?

Isn’t appearance how someone looks?

I think you misread my post - I was saying that I find it trashy that women who have had enhancements consider themselves to be more beautiful than their peers. And yes, the post feminist era is a thing, referring to post second wave feminism.

No need to be so aggressive or insulting to me personally.

Foughtabadgerandwon · 05/04/2025 12:15

Parents who pierce their baby's ears.

I don't care about any cultural reason, it's hideous and I judge those parents most of all.

Well, we've all got opinions. I would have thought that was obvious.

100% this. The irony in the OP's posts is breathtaking. 🙄

Agreed. Deeply unpleasant.
So long as no one is being hurt, live and let live.

In the majority of opinions. Let's put a poll up to wager that!

Why do you need to widen your own perspective on people’s appearance and character? Who cares what people think is trashy and isn’t. You know people are just going to come on and slate people for having fillers etc or not looking a certain type of way because you’ve asked the question in a negative way. Can we just accept people look different and people like different looks?

Who cares? People will continue looking how they want to look irrespective of your opinion. I don't care what a bunch of strangers think about my appearance.

Father's who choose not to abandon their DC.

Trashy: people who HAVE to use an apostrophe because a word ends with a letter s. And people who can’t spell, and use ‘ect.’ instead of ‘etc.’… See how silly I sound OP? (As an aside I’ll presume the word ‘not’ was unintentional?). I could be judging you for this but won’t because I understand people are complex and nothing about being a human being is straightforward. You might be dyslexic. You could be in a rush or distracted. Your phone might have autocorrected. Or maybe you’re having a bad day or you’re feeling down and want to make yourself feel better by focussing on people you see as inferior to you. Presumably someone’s called you a snob and your reply was something along the lines of ‘I’m not a snob. I just have standards’?

BUT. What this world needs more than just about everything else is tolerance. Judge and be judged yourself, and who needs that? Can we all just live free of this shit? I’ll do what I want and you do what you want, ok?

Wtf has amputation got to do with anything? 'Trashy' people get body parts amputated? Have I missed something?
