Hey Pandas! What Are Some Of The Things We Shame People For That Are Totally Normal? (Closed)

Let us know down below!

#1

Periods. That’s all I can say.

#2

Crying

#3

So many people shame other people’s bodies. It really needs to change

#4

Saying or doing something dumb in younger years, and then treating them like their opinions haven’t matured since being a teen. People are allowed to grow up and change.

#5

for having children.
and got not having children.

it’s paradox double bind. and it sucks.

#6

For having depression and anxiety disorders. They call us weak.

#7

Stretch marks and/or acne. All in all, imperfect skin. Excuse me for looking like a normal human being.

#8

Taking a break.

#9

For not knowing something, and/or being stupid. None of us are immune, so we should just be trying to help, not mock.

#10

Being kind and compassionate towards people and animals and being upset by cruelty especially if you are male, people will call you a snowflake, oversensitive and weak. Kindness is not weakness, it’s being a normal human being, toxic masculinity and being shamed for showing emotion is ridiculous!

#11

Omg I been waiting for this. Why are periods such an embarrassing, secretive “disturbing” thing? Why are women shy to say it in front of men, and why do men/women frown upon girls who talk publicly about periods. It’s not a choice we make, it’s not something we control, it’s completely normal and natural and we have an express right to talk about it without feeling shame and embarrassment.

#12

Coughing (nowadays), farting, burping… like y’all we just can’t help it.

#13

Body hair

#14

For not wanting to socialize and hang out.
For refusing to go to parties or sneak out early.
For eating alone.

#15

Less than perfect teeth or looks in general. Dental care can be pricing and there are those who just cannot afford to have their teeth fixed. As for looks, how many times do you see or hear people mocking others because they aren’t supermodel perfect? Everyone has flaws, even those models that far too many insecure people compare themselves to, knowing there are complete a$$hats that will do that same.

#16

Food for thought. If you can honestly say that you have not ostracized, laughed out, or made fun of any one of these natural characteristics of people below than you are truly innocent of not shaming people. They are nose hair, body hairiness, body odour, ear hair, someone’s breath, sweaty feet, booger in nose, something on teeth, a zipper undone, stain on a shirt, clothing, a tattoo……. This list is could be endless. It’s not always about weight, height, language, looks, etc. It’s starts with the small everyday shaming. Let’s fix that first.

#17

For not wanting children/not wanting to get married

Why can’t people just respect other peoples choices and mind their own damn business?

#18

Being a fan girl/boy. Im a big fan of blackpink. Many friends of mine just told me to stop it , As they don’t even know I exist. Like its our life , And BlackPink songs make me forget the world and enjoy , So I like them

#19

Eating junk food, most of us do it on occasion even celebs, like how dare you eat delicious foods.

#20

Hobbies.
I found a post on Reddit about a boy who liked My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and he was bullied for it. (Trigger warning- mention of s-icide)
He took his own life because of it. May he rest in peace.
What did someone comment? “deserved it.”

#21

Liking someone of the gender. I mean come on, love is love.

#22

in school i get in trouble for yawning. what?

#23

Messing up someones pronouns, people make mistakes especially if you knew them before they changed them

#24

For just being yourself. I know too many people that are different when they are with certain people.

#25

Shitting

#26

Stimming. It’s an entirely normal thing for neurodivergent people/beings to do, yet we are all judged for doing it, even by relatives/friends! ‘QuIeT hAnDs’ is stupid. Let us be us! We’ll STIM if we want to!

#27

Mental illness like panic disorder,generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and other issues that are totally common, but no one talks about and you feel alone when you have it. It needs to be talked about and normalized.

#28

Being polite to avoid offending someone is seen as “being fake” and not telling it how it is.

#29

pineapple on pizza

#30

Chronic illnesses, specially the invisible ones. No, they are not lazy, they don’t need to exercise and goin to therapy “because it’s in their heads”. They are ill and in pain and deserve compassion.

#31

Using neopronouns is something I’ve noticed more and more people getting angry about. A lot of the criticism even comes from the LGBTQ community and it breaks my heart, because is it really hurting you if someone uses them? It is not making fun of the community to use them (unlike some certain attack helicopter or “you date pans?” jokes many people deal with), and there is no expense to you to use them. I had a non-binary friend get annoyed with someone not wanting to use they/them for them (totally valid) and then go on a rant about how neopronouns are invalidating the ‘actual’ LGBTQ people. As long as it isn’t something offensive, why shame people?

#32

Aging

#33

Not being like your parents/sisters/brothers/etc. I personally don’t have any siblings, but I have friends who do, and they tell me that I am lucky that I am not compared to older brothers/sisters.

#34

Music choices.
I enjoy an eclectic mix of music from classical, through Metallica and even Steps or Hollywood Undead. None of my selections affect you and yet you think I’m looking for a critique of my musical repertoire? I do not care that you like [insert latest hip band here]. Stop judging me for my music taste. I’m not in any of the bands or anything.

#35

Not liking my toxic family members just because they are family. Like i really don’t care if you are my blood, you’re toxic and hurting me i will not allow that in my life. If you change let me know and we can reconnect but until then, nope.

#36

Not being that tough or easily offended

#37

for #32 I meant getting shamed for being easily offended

#38

Breastfeeding in public. That’s why women have breasts, people, to suckle their babies. It’s natural. It’s not obscene, it’s not disgusting, it’s not even a cause for embarrassment, yet there are people who make out the mother is some kind of low-life exhibitionist for feeding her baby what it needs even when she is being discreet.
Is it because men are too easily distracted by the thought of a woman’s breasts? Maybe they think breasts are only for them to leer at? That is their problem! Grow up!
O often wonder if it was started by baby formula makers who want to sell their product.

#39

Having an opinion different than yours –
