I really wanted to write a post about this the other day but kept getting too upset.
A hilaaaaarious cruel jibe at an MP you hate doesn& #39;t exist in a vacuum. People like me see those comments, see our own skin reflected, and take those jokes to heart. https://twitter.com/CigaretteCalpol/status/1265943462895144960">https://twitter.com/Cigarette...

This is what my skin has looked like in the past due to my rosacea. If I saw the comments in the next few tweets underneath a video of me I would be devastated.
It& #39;s easily done, especially when we disagree with someone and want to show just how little we respect them. But personal attacks aren& #39;t just personal to the individual you& #39;re attacking.
I don& #39;t know if these specific men have rosacea, for all I know it *might* have just been sunburn. But seeing people say they can& #39;t take a person seriously because their face is red does have an impact on me and others
