Agreed. I do what I can to make myself look presentable by controlling what I can (eg weight) but I'm not gonna get butthurt when someone tells me I look too pale or freckley because that's not something I feel any shame about. You don't feel shame when things are ACTUALLY out of your control.

I don't know. I've read some interesting things about how black kids feel about their skin color and shit like that. The group of people with poor self-maintenance habits don't need to be empowered though since they're not actually marginalized. They're simply embarrassing themselves. I don't know what kind of bullshit enfattenment they're preaching, but happy people realize you can only control yourself, not others. If you feel embarrassed, stop embarrassing yourself. No one likes to feel that way, yet pretty near all humans find it funny or cringey when it's not them. Tough shit.
