Teens Are Turning 'Ugly' Into 'Beautiful' With The #Don'tJudgeChallenge

by Eitan Levine

This has got to be one of the all-time worst Twitter trends.

Twitter users are posting “ugly” videos of themselves with #DontJudgeChallenge in an effort to fight body shaming.

The idea is to film yourself with acne dots, glasses, buck teeth or whatever else you deem “ugly,” and then film what you look like with makeup on in order to show how inner beauty is the only thing that really matters.

If you’re going, “OK, cool... Wait. That doesn’t make any sense at all," that’s probably because it doesn’t make any sense at all.

The idea of posting videos of yourself looking as good as possible in order to stop people from judging you unless you look as good as possible is so cyclical and mind-numbing it could be a ride at Six Flags.

This girl -- who I’ve deemed the most rational teenager on Twitter -- lays it out in this perfect 30-second anti-#DontJudgeChallenge rant.

Preach. Anyway, here are some people who destroyed body shaming by posting beautiful videos of themselves.

This guy fixed it. Body shaming isn't a thing anymore.

They’re beautiful in both videos, which means they killed body shaming twice.
