More juvenile, homophobic behavior from certain members of the closet crew
Someone sent me a link to this post, which had this comment:
If meokeob is really a heterosexual woman, then IMHO the above comment is homophobic. Unfortunately, many in the closet crew find this sort of homophobic remark to be entertaining. Would these same women think it was okay to laugh at blatantly racist remarks? I tend to think not.
The color of our lips have to do with our health. I explain more about this below. Anyway, my guess is that S’s lips tend to be more naturally rosy than N’s, perhaps because of differences in health. S may also use Chapstick or another kind of lip balm regularly. Lip balms can make lips appear more pink in photos.
But meokeob is dishonest in how she cherry picks her “proofs.” The perspective changes when you look at the entire photo.
For instance, in the larger photo, A’s lips look just as pink as S’s. (And no, I don’t think he had been making out with S.🤦🏻♀️)
And look at the guy in the background, top left. His lower lip looks a tad pink too.
But of course, meokeob left out the other guys in the larger photo, so she could make her prejudiced assertion.🙄 This is the sort of thing that makes meokeob such a troll.
For the people at the back of the room, here’s a sampling of what different colors of our lips can tell us about our health. According to the Times of India:
PALE OR WHITE LIPS: Pale or white lips are a clear sign of being anaemic. This means that your body lacks red blood cells or haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main part of the red blood cells and binds oxygen. Therefore, if your body lacks this, then your lips are bound to turn pale. Eating iron rich foods like spinach, dried fruits and breads are a good start to increase your haemoglobin. [...] RED LIPS: Red lips mean your body is overheated. At a time like this, you will see the additional signs of bad breath and craving for snacks. According to experts, this means that you have a dysfunctional liver, which ends up releasing heat in the body. Other than this, red lips also signify the presence of an allergy from any kind of food or liquid, causing your lips to swell. [...] ROSY PINK: Rosy pink lips indicate a healthy body with a balanced mind. This means that you are doing everything right to keep your body fit and the diet and fitness regime you are following suits your body well.
So N’s pale lips might indicate he isn’t getting enough iron. In contrast, S’s pink lips suggest he is in good health. None of that has to do with sexual orientation. And one can certainly have pink lips and not be wearing lipstick.
Seriously, that this is even an issue is beyond juvenile.
