While I’m not in the camp that would make fun of him for his appearance (his existence is already a big enough joke), I think the logic comes from separating shaming people for their body versus attacking someone that you dislike and picking their body as the target. The key difference being in the reason for the body-centered insult; one is tied to hate for different looking people, whereas the other is tied to hating the person and finding something to attack about them.

I think he’s an oddly shaped moron, but I do find it really funny how the people who are supposedly all about body positivity and not putting others down are all gung ho about tearing apart the physical attributes of people they despise.
Hypocritical much?

There are also people that aren’t so much in the body positivity movement that make fun of Elon musk, but I guess you must have done your research

Using intolerance against the intolerant isn’t intolerant though.
If a Nazi is busy being a Nazi it’s morally acceptable to say they look like an especially malformed mold reject of a Quasimodo figurine.

what if I lurk here, despise the man and happen to be physically very similar to him?
Madison420@lemmy.world 5 days ago
No one would know and moreover if you aren’t super intolerant the rule wouldn’t apply to you anyway.

would you worry I’d feel insecure with my appearance, though? should I just avoid these comments when I see them?

That is almost the dumbest thing I’ve read on this website today.
You guys always have excuses for why your cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy is actually morally alright.
