As none of you probably know, Taylor Momsen- who played Jenny from Gossip Girl and Cindy Lou from The Grinch- has quit acting for good to pursue her music career. This was posted on Yahoo!, and knowing how much it makes me laugh, I looked at the comments:
"Halloween isn't here yet..."
"That's one ugly man!"
"thank god now if she could stop singing to that would be great cut your hair not your wrist freak"
And you know what? Most of these people don't even know who the hell she is! Half of the comments were "Well, who is she?". They all judged her on physical appearance first, then decided to think that her persontality is the same as what she wears; "a devil-worshiping, gothic, trashy, screwed up freak".
Everything they pretty much said about her probably isn't true... none of us actually know her, so we can't judge her. But yet, people still judge. Which shall bring me into my main topic:
Why the hell are some people so damn ignorant at times?!
Yes, we judge people on their physical appearance first by nature... but I think it's sick when people only judge on that, and never get to know the person.
It's happened to me plenty of times. I've been called an oreo, an emo freak, an idiot, and many other things. These people automatically judge me on how I look. Yes, I know it's natural, but then in their little ignorant heads, thry think that it's fine to go by first judgement and not learn anything about me, which makes me as pissed as hell.
As for those people who get to know me, they think that I'm the exact opposite of what people say. I'm not emo- they don't know any other alternative styles. I'm not an oreo- I just don't wanna be a part of the black stereotype. I'm not an idiot- I just excel in artistic things.
I'm pretty happy that there are celebrities like Taylor... she's true to herself, even though people hate her. But she's said it herself- she doesn't give a damn! If she can deal with thousands of people hating her, 30 people isn't so bad.[:
[Yes, I am extremely pissed at the moment... and I might be pissed for the next few days. It depends if I let my mind dwell upon this.]
