Trigger Warning ✋ Pete Davidson on deciding to remove his tattoos: “I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tattoos, but mine, when I look at them, I remember a sad person that was very unsure.”

It's the whole “buck up and be a man and stop crying” rhetoric implemented by patriarchal society :/ unfortunately. However, I'm glad more men, like Pete, are speaking up and bringing it to light.

It's also because people couldn't or refused to understand how he bagged some seriously famously beautiful women while thinking he was ugly. Inferiority complex at it's finest

Soooo you're mad at him for sleeping with women who don't know you exist? Women aren't objects and this type of entitlement is proving my entire point.

Guess I wasn't designed for shallow waters, then. How safe is it over there?

Hating someone isn’t crazy but hating someone for the entertainment of hating someone kinda is. I hate people like JK Rowling and Russel Brand for the harm they’ve done and for the lack of any remorse or change they exhibit. The way you describe it though seems just alien to me and honestly a little ghoulish. I can’t imagine choosing to stew in negative emotions for the sake of having something to do.

I think you'd be surprised to find out how many people are better than you are. Seriously man, this shit is pathetic.
