I have many pet hates, so many in fact that one of my most popular posts is 17 Things that Really Piss Me Off, but one of my most rage inducing pet hates has to be people masquerading as open -minded when in actually they are just Judgy Mcjudgersons!!
There are so many examples that I would literally never be finished writing this post so I'm just going to focus on the one that pissed me off today, enough to write this post.
I'm sure you've probably all seen the memes going around which basically tell people to be someone the creator believes is a better human than someone like the Kardashian's.
Like this one...
Now before I go on, please note that I LOVE Helena Bonham Carter, I do truly believe the world would be a better place with more of her in it BUT not at the expense of a whole other kind of person! Which is where my point lies.
Why do we have to be one or the other? Why do we have to tear down one personality type in order to build up the other? What even are the traits of all these Kardashians, that are seemingly overpopulating our world?
Last I checked, the most used insult aimed at any member of the Kardashian family has been: Sluts! ...now let us all get something straight SLUT SHAMING HAS TO STOP!!! What is a SLUT? Historically the word meant someone who was untidy or slovenly...have you ever seen a Kardashian home? They are bloody immaculate. Obviously nowadays slut is used to shame (mostly women) who have the audacity to enjoy sex, who may or may not have a few sexual partners, and who apparently are perfectly happy with their bodies and don't mind telling judgemental folks where to stick it!
I'm still not even sure I understand the meme to be honest...what does being a Kardashian mean?? What does being a Helena Bonham Carter mean?
Why do we have to BE anybody that already is??
So just to clarify my stance here:
LIKING SEX IS NOT A BAD THING!
CARING ABOUT YOUR APPEARANCE IS NOT A BAD THING!
TAKING NAKED SELFIES AND FEELING POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR BODY IS NOT A BAD THING!
FALLING IN LOVE MORE THAN ONCE IS NOT A BAD THING!
BEING A "KARDASHIAN" IS NOT A BAD THING!
BEING A JUDGMENTAL DICKHEAD IS A FUCKING TERRIBLE THING!
Sorry if this hasn't made any sense, I'm just really pissed off tonight and had to get it out lol. Thanks for reading.
Literally had this VERY rant the other day and it was that exact meme that prompted it haha!!

''Why do we have to BE anybody that already is??'' is the point here. Just let people be who they are and if you don't like it you don't have to be anything like them! I hate the internet telling me who/what/where I should be/do/go. Everyone cares too much about other people and seems to think they have a right to comment.
