    Farting. It’s natural, get over it.

    Expressing anger or frustration. People often associate anger with bad behavior, but if it’s communicated respectfully, it can be a healthy outlet for emotions and a necessary part of personal boundaries.

    There are various different types of people in society, cannot generalise in that way, the one who gets disgusted they show it and take it out on you by some or the other way, the one who doesn’t they don’t mind what you do…

    Judging everyone in your head and analyzing everything they do thinking what do they do when they get home or what are they thinking right now??

    Porn. I think the problem is the sketchy people the industry attracts and the stigma that gets attached to pornstars forever. I don’t think having consensual sex on camera is inherently bad. I think that’s just abrahamic culture.

    Killing people is bad, sexual assault is bad. Consensual sex on camera isnt. No disease is being spread, no one is being physically or mentally harmed aside from the stigma and the sketchy people.

    Farting, menstruating.

    Sweat.

    At least in a lot of the US.

    Unless you’re actively working out it feels like there is some type of judgement if you show any signs of sweating.

    Maybe I’m wrong. But it feels like in other parts of the world that have hotter climates it’s more accepted.

    Healthy women (and men) with some belly, like it’s your organs guys, and fat that protects you. Personally, I am (18F) a little overweight because I am a smaller in height but I am still perfectly healthy. I get so scared to wear a bikini or a shorter shirt because of stereotypes now. Can we please normalize it

    Dental cavities. Get them filled and move on with your life.

    Sex with someone as a way of connecting, or sharing with a friend who needs some human touch.

    Also menstruation. Half the people on the planet are gonna do it, stop throwing them in the (virtual) menstrual shed.

    Sitting on pavement. People tell me it’s gross to sit on a curb but will happily sit or walk barefoot on random grass. Don’t get me wrong, I love sitting on some random grass, but it always feels a bit riskier to me than sitting on pavement.

    Breast feeding. That’s the actual point of boobs, don’t stare, don’t whisper, just grow up.

    Gen Z/Alpha have a weird thing about shaming people for showing their feet now. You can’t wear sandals at a high school without kids insisting you should have socks on because nobody wants to see your “dogs.”

    Everyone is quick to label a woman speaking her mind as a “Karen,” when sometimes I agree with them. If you have a woman who is standing up for legitimate rights, like stopping another child with absent parents for bullying their own, yelling at neighbors who are being loud and obnoxious after midnight, or losing their patience with someone who continues to allow their dog to shit in their yard without picking it up, I believe the person posting that video claiming to be the victim is the true asshole. I hate to use the name Karen to describe anyone with bad behavior in public, because I have never met a Karen who is unhinged. They are always the first to bend over backward to help you when you’re down.

    Some feel that breast feeding is, but I don’t see the problem really.

    Idk if “disgusting” is the right word but I’ve always been jealous that titless people can just walk around with no shirts meanwhile us titty-havers gotta deal with bras no matter how hot it is. Can we bring back free the nipple?

    Peeing in a swimming pool.

    I have a 50,000 litre swimming pool. If someone pissed 500 mls into it, that’s 475mls of pure water, some salt, some urea, and some other chemicals.

    Urine is not a compound, so when it hits the water it dissolves into its components, all of which are already in the pool naturally.

    The volume of piss to pool water is so small that it makes no difference at all.

    I do not care if I’m swimming in a pool that people piss in because the urine is gone the second it hits the pool water.

    Being barefoot/not wearing shoes in public. The ground is gross but so is literally everything you touch and both hands and feet can be washed. Hazards in the ground? Why is that anyone’s problem but the person who’s shoeless. There are plenty of people with sensory issues that would benefit greatly from being able to just be barefoot. We’ve arrived at feet = gross from classism. Shoes are practical for daily life but bare feet aren’t gross inherently.

    Farts. We wear pants, farts no longer transmit disease because of this.

    Picking your nose.
    If something is there. Best to take it out. Sometimes blowing into tissue isn’t enough to dislodge it.

    But totally socially unacceptable.

    Having consensual sex with a different person whenever I feel like it (I’m single). Why does it make someone a “slut” to want to have sexual needs met without wanting a relationship?

    women’s period

    women aren’t allowed in some religious temples during menstruation, some men and women avoid sex during this time, some guys think eating a girl during her period is gross
