No one is evil for living in a body that makes you uncomfortable.
There is no look, no body, no presentation that makes someone inherently bad. Period.
Stop assigning moral value to how people look.
Because when we do, we create a world where the right face lets you get away with anything, no matter how harmful your actions are. And it’s not just about the usual “beautiful cishet white people” stereotype, either. It happens inside every community, every circle.
In queer spaces, some people get a free pass because they “look queer enough,” "Don't look too queer", "look like a Correct Non-Cis Person", or “fit the vibe,” while others are pushed out or erased because they don’t match the expected aesthetic.
We create a world where people who look “scary,” “different,” or “unsettling” or something we personally consider "Wrong" for the space they're in get treated like they’re inherently harmful or dangerous, and that’s damaging, isolating, and deeply unfair.
When morality gets tangled up with appearances, we start policing each other’s bodies and expressions instead of holding everyone accountable for their behavior. It’s a toxic trap that divides us and lets people harm others under the cover of “looking right.”
Ethics aren’t about how you present yourself or how others perceive you.
Let’s stop using looks as an excuse for injustice. Let’s stop allowing people to hide behind what I will be calling “aesthetic privilege” to avoid accountability. Real community is built on respect, integrity, and support, not on whether someone fits a certain image.
Stop making aesthetics a stand-in for ethics.
