Gear Shaming

Shaming the gear of someone who tries to wear a historic uniform by pointing out every flaw and shitting on them, rather than offering genuine advice/ constructive criticism
Uh.... okay
Try this

Gear Shaming is such: "Hey, man, your uniform is shit. There's so much wrong with it. You're a peice of shit."

Not Gear Shaming: "Hey, guy, I see a couple things wrong on your uniform, here's some resources to help you improve!"

shade shaming

Shade shaming: mocking, ridiculing, or teasing someone about the amount of melanin in their skin. #shadeshaming
Examples of shade shaming: You're not black enough. You're SO dark!". You need to cover up those freckles!"

or white people, you know you love this one--"you're so PALE! You need some sun!" And of course, there's the infamous "what ARE you"? The only reason to ask a person "what" they are in terms of race is because you're going to form a new opinion of them based upon their answer, which is...you guessed it...a form of #RACISM.
