It’s 2021, can we finally put the body’s shame to the past ??
Kumail Nanjiani will be in the next Marvel film Eternals, and he did what many future superheroes did before and was torn up.

He showed his muscles for the first time in 2019, and we were all very impressed.
He has been very honest about how hard he worked to achieve his physical transformation, how long it took and why he wanted to do that in the first place.
Anyway, over the weekend, Kumail posted this photo on Instagram to celebrate the new year.
AND SOME PEOPLE turned this into an opportunity to embarrass Kumail’s body, criticizing him for looking “unrecognizable” and making jokes about him using steroids.

I will not share any of these comments here, but you really feel that you need to see them, you can go to Kumail’s Twitter or Instagram.
First thing: if you really believe that Kumail looks “unrecognizable” in the second photo, I’m sorry to be the person who told you this, but you need to see an ophthalmologist.

These photos were taken more than five years apart.
More importantly, let’s leave the body ashamed in 2020, right? It is sticky and harmful.
Fortunately, Kumail fans quickly closed off enemies and made several excellent points in the process.
Shame Kumail Nanjiani for … being robbed? It’s very weird. Especially since all Chris did the same super soldier program and were never criticized by him. I wonder what the difference is?
After Chadwick Boseman’s death, there was a lot of talk about “never make fun of people’s bodies, you don’t know what people are going through”, but Kumail Nanjiani posted how. an average photo of himself having dinner and this is our window, I think
Chris Evans is stolen by Captain America: “😍🤩😍🤩” Chris Hemsworth is stolen by Thor: “😍🤩😍🤩” Chris Pratt is stolen by the Starlord: “😍🤩😍🤩” Kumail Nanjiani is stolen by the Eternals: “ He’s clearly on steroids. ”I can’t see what the difference is.
Kumail Nanjiani looks amazing and I would like to be as good as he is. Obviously you did not learn the lessons by mocking Chadwick Boseman’s physical appearance. Notice how you only mock men of color, but not your white favorites.
Actor Erin Cummings answered to one of the comments via a Twitter topic, explaining why it’s best to just keep unsolicited comments about a person’s body for you.
In short, if you have something unpleasant to say about a stranger’s body, sit down and be quiet. Nice? Nice.
