I see a lot of negative comments on posts where a guy is talking about his skincare routine or giving info on how to do something etc etc.

I see a lot of comments and most of them are calling the guy out as gay. Like wtf? He’s telling something useful to a LOT of people and you are calling him gay for taking care of himself? And since when being called gay is an insult?

Same with some guy talking about any cosmetic product.

Damn. Some people are weird.

I apologize if this seems like a rant here, I have faced a lot of judgmental people too being in the beauty and skincare industry that’s why I hate it when guys are judged for doing what they love.

p.s I am a straight guy with interest in beauty and skincare. I do regular skincare and I work with people who are formulators of cosmetics.

Also off topic but I appreciate this subreddit so much. It gives me so much insights into what people want and helps me in the work.

    Sorry that you’ve experienced this. On the internet at least, it seems pretty well accepted for anyone to care about their skin and people seem happy to help. I’ve spoken to men in person about skincare as well without it being weird or judgmental.

    I suppose there will be ignorant or jealous people everywhere. Come to think of it, even as a woman I’ve gotten side-eye about “caring too much” about my skin (my skincare is basic af 😂) or even “not doing enough.” I try to remind myself that people being judgmental and rude has more to do with their insecurities than it is with anything I’m doing.
