<p>Great article! If women would work together instead of against each other, I swear we'd rule the world. Make yourself look better by being better, not by putting others down. We all bring something special to the table and we should compliment each other on our positives.</p>

<p>One of the things I love about PUG is that the models are of many different sizes, from hourglass shapes to thin "waif" types to busty girls and plus sizes---and no matter what shape you are, you can always find a dress that's flattering for your body type! Thanks for addressing this issue of cyber-bullying---it seems like the anonymity of the Internet makes some people feel like they're allowed to make hurtful, cruel comments without having to take ownership of how those remarks affect…</p>

Thanks for addressing this issue of cyber-bullying---it seems like the anonymity of the Internet makes some people feel like they're allowed to make hurtful, cruel comments without having to take ownership of how those remarks affect people---and people assume that just because you have found a style that works for you, and you take a good picture, that it somehow makes you a justifiable target for their hatred and insecurities.

<p>Normally I don't comment on internet things (I guess I'm kinda shy and awkward about it... I dunno... lol), but this was such a great piece I had to say something. Masuimi Max, as the target of a lot of bullying I just wanna say thank you for writing this, it's awesome and helpful and true. You and all the rest of the PUG ladies are great! <3 you all :) </p>

<p>High five for posting this. <br/>Why are so people hung up on appearance?<br/>I've been thinking about this a LOT lately. I've been in the process of weeding out people who say and do things like this. It's sad... so many women (especially on the internet) behave this way.<br/><br/>I had friends (keyword: HAD) who chose only to communicate with me when they felt like bashing someone else's looks. I'd think to myself, "You hate their mouth? It affects you, how?" Yes, these people suffered from insecurities and eventually, most of them finally confided in me about them. At first, I would try to help them get past these insecurities, but that's a tough thing to do. I got sick of the constant negative comments and had to move on. I can't fix everyone and everything.</p>

<p>I hope many people-- especially outside the PUG world-- read this article. Very well written and I'm certain it will make those who read it think long and hard about the things they may do or say. I also hope it may help people to better themselves, as far as self-esteem goes. It's heartbreaking to know that so many people (especially women) have poor self-esteem and lash out at others to console themselves :-(</p> Something I noticed that is h…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2012-09-14:6504043:Comment:1257832012-09-14T03:03:22.493ZDesiluhttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/JenniferSmithDAmico
<p>Something I noticed that is helping eliminate (slowly but surely) this type of person from certain sites is their "no body snark" policy (borrowed from Georgina Thorne, FullerFigureFullerBust). Just last night, I was scrolling through some of the pics PinUp Style Worldwide posted on their FB feed, and there were two persons who felt the need to comment on the model's size (she was "too thin"). I quickly posted the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" comment,…</p>

I quickly posted the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" comment, and shortly after that, PSW banned them from their FB list and added a status update stating what should have been obvious (and was not only to me, but to several other posters who came to the model's defense): no body snark or mean comments will be allowed and will result in banning. They are not the first site to do so, and I am hoping, not the last. I think this will hopefully help to change the mindset of those who are insistent in posting negative comments that are not constructive criticisms but actual attacks on the person; if not, it will hopefully continue to lead limiting the body snark or meanness to a 5min window until an administrator bans the commenter. I hope that - as PUG girls - we will help to contribute to changing this not only in the PUG world, but in our other posts, subscriptions, and life as well.

<p>Thanks to the internet, self-loathing people can hide behind their computers and dish out more hate while maintaining anonymity. They can sit at home and whine and not do anything to change the things they dislike in their own lives. Guess that's why you called it "faceache" lol</p>
<p>Next up on Masuimi's to-do list: write a self-help book for the haters and the hated? I'd buy it! <3</p>
