    Oh yeah that picture. It's very likely the poor guy has at minimum massive posture issues, or at worst he could have a spinal growth deformity for it to look like that. As someone that did look like that photo (probably much worse if I'm being honest with myself) before surgery due to a spinal growth deformity, I had no control over it. It was just the way my spine grew. By the end I had to walk with a walking stick and couldn't do anything, I could barely get out of bed and struggled to climb stairs because of the pressure the curvature of my back was putting on my internal organs, emphasis on the lungs. I was bullied all though high school and called hunchback and Quasimodo pretty much non stop. It would've killed me eventually without surgery. So yeah I know the guy in the photo is probably not going through that, but there is a chance he is, and it's a guarantee that others looking at the image, like me, have.

        The thing is it even goes beyond bad looks. Even though the person in the picture probably doesn't have a deformity or anything, there's plenty of people that have had severe scoliosis or kyphosis or something that has caused many traumatic experiences. Not being able to get a job, live a "normal" life, leave the house, etc. Like when I see someone making fun of people for having a hunchback or something it really gets me in a way basically no other "insult" does (except for homophobic/biphobic stuff as I'm bi).

        Insulting someone's appearance makes them feel bad, and I think it's okay to do that to a bad persons face to make them feel bad, but I don't like seeing people mocking appearances when the bad person in question can't see it. Cause then, well, you're just an asshole who thinks someone looking weird (to you) as something that's worth mentioning amidst their real flaws like being a reactionary or whatever. Ben shapiro is short, nazi has weak chin, etc

            This is funny imo. I dunno, I like to think if I looked thumb-like I'd find it hilarious

            Thumbs with a face painted on.

            Originally I thought about putting "capital" on the sleeve of the suit, but I thought that was too heavy-handed.
