Aww, that's a shame. According to this gif, you're a gorgeous dog.

I want to say you're a lab, but I'm not much of a dog person.

I'm nearing the end of making a geek-related crochet hat for someone, and I really wanna post pics of it here, but I'd rather not get a slew of either "whore!" "karma-whore!" "ugly" etc...

You feel super cute?! That dog is adorable! :)

Anna Prosser is the girlfriend of professional Starcraft 2 gamer Geoff Robinson and an active member of the Starcraft 2 community herself. She is constantly called ugly by a lot of internet trolls.

Anna Prosser is not an ugly woman. In fact, she was/is Miss Oregon and competed for Miss America. If a Miss America competitor is being called ugly, what hope does anyone else have?

Ignore the trolls and remember its not about you. Its about them and their hatred of women and their need to feel superior to others. I'm sorry that some men are like that, but aren't all that way, I promise.

Awww...you're not that ugly.

Some people hiding behind the veil of anonymity that is the internet seem to feel that it's okay to be mean.

I was very awkward throughout Junior High and part of High School, but afterwards I lost the big dorky glasses, wore braces for two years to straighten my crooked teeth, and worked on increasing my self-confidence.

I stupidly posted some pictures on r/AmISexy a while back and I was called names and told to try out r/AmIUgly instead. I felt very embarrassed so I deleted as much evidence of the post as I could... and I learned my lesson to not ever invite people from the internet to judge me.

i'm not sure whether people are calling you ugly because of a picture of yourself that you've posted or just in response to something you've said... i have to admit the former is exactly why i abhor posting my photos online and will avoid it at all costs. i get the latter as it is ("you said something i disagree with! you're probably fat and ugly and have no friends!"), i don't want to give those people any more ammunition.

jolieRules · 11 months

That dog is freaking brilliant. :D So are you.

Dumblonde · 11 months

People who post ugly comments have ugly souls. I can't imagine a worse fate. They are their own punishment just as you are your own reward.

There might be a day when you stop feeling like this because you will realize, not just rationally, that these actions say more about the other than about you.

Beatle_Matt · 11 months

I don't get it....are you ugly?

If you aren't, then what's the problem? Let people call you ugly all the want - they're idiots.

If you are ugly, then do something about it. They're still idiots mind you for calling you that, but you can do things so people won't see you as "ugly".

I'm wondering, why do people post photos of themselves on an anonymous website if they can't take what other people say about them?

The internet is not a place full of wonderful people, and thinking the opposite is quite frankly naive.

Androecian · 11 months

Everybody who calls you ugly is a goddamn dirty liar, and I hate them.

You rule, and are awesome, and badass, and you will continue to do so and be so.

Carry on. ^{_^}

Aw, don't feel sad! We loveses you!

OP here - just wanting to clarify some stuff to stop people getting their knickers in a twist or thinking I am posting random pictures of myself and not expecting judgement in any way. I am fully aware of the number of absolute asshats that populate reddit, but also very aware of how many lovely people there are!

I posted a couple of photos - one of which had my cat asleep cuddling into my arm after I had fallen asleep. It was a cute picture that my dad had sneakily taken, but my cat looked so adorable in it. I made the mistake of posting it without having cropped myself out (rookie mistake). Cue barrage of abuse regarding me in the picture (ironically nothing said about cute kittycat). Promptly deleted it as I don't see the point of leaving it there for more abuse.

Another barrage of abuse came from a picture of my eyes in which no comment was made about my eyes, but instead directed at my general looks. Lesson learned - photo removed and subreddit removed from my list.

I don't consider myself to be hideously ugly after working both on my looks and my confidence for many years.

The point of my original post was both to share this cute gif in this context - sometimes the crap that gets thrown at you makes you want to just pull a cover over your head - and also to thank 2X for being a place were I feel like I'm not going to be completely torn apart (at least not too much ;) )

I am fairly confident, but there are certain things that will still make me feel like shit and want to hide away. Then I brush it off, click the hide button, and walk away from it safe in the knowledge that the internet and the world is full of assholes.

And fear not, no more pictures of myself will EVER be posted.

Ugliness on the outside cannot overpower beauty from the inside. :)

musicsexual · 11 months

Don't listen to the others. I don't need to see you to know you are a beautiful person.

I love TwoXC. It's how my friends and I are in real life, nice, positive, and funny. I need it to balance out my reddit experience, especially since I frontpaged r/shitredditsays. What a downer of a subreddit, but for some reason I feel compelled to keep reading its submissions on how awful women are. :/

mrs_mcfirecrotch · 11 months

I've always loved this gif but in this context it's even more adorable!

mariajciao · 11 months

I'm super new to Reddit....why do people do that? Is that like part of the culture or something? I thought Reddit is a place for people to share and connect, that makes me sad that anyone would be so hurtful and disrespectful to you. Especially when my guess is that a decent majority of the dudes on Reddit resemble toads (I've been to local Reddit meetups)

... welcome to the internet? I'm sorry, but you can't honestly expect it all to be sunshine and rainbows. Supermodels get called ugly on this site all the time. Allowing yourself to feel insulted by a bunch of never-been-touched virgin minecraft players is maybe something you need to deal with personally.

SO so so true

i_fap_faps · 11 months

I'd hazard the guess that it's nothing to with you, it's probably to do with "look at this picture of me being happy!"

All the forever alone gamers feel the need to tarnish that happiness with insults.

MJZMan · 11 months

Ah yes, run & hide. Now that's self-empowerment!!

elleenelle · 11 months

Stop posting your pictures everywhere?

virtyy · 11 months

you women need to grow some balls. who cares what some loser calls you on the internet, or anywhere for that matter.

countinuityerror12 · 11 months

This gif looks like how I feel today.

[deleted] · 11 months

How would others know what you look like and insult you like that?

redsh1ft · 11 months

Its the internet , just ignore them :)

LeMeowman · 11 months

Just remember the people calling you ugly look like this nine times out of ten: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8VRxXiG8XpU/TUS5mz11TzI/AAAAAAAAAA8/6YpbYHTuP3Q/s1600/1296343941243.jpg
