To be fair, the OP is not actually doing that, "should we ban it" is obviously a joke. He's just saying it's unattractive. Similar comments have been made about all kinds of people/aesthetics with far more vitriol than the OP (a random example I witnessed personally some years back was someone saying men under 6' tall should kill themselves, and getting plenty of agreement within their own bubble (was on Tumblr, iirc)).
The OP is honestly a 'whatever' post to me, doesn't move the needle at all, and honestly doesn't deserve to be engaged with at all. And the response is just an extremely basic 'they don't like you either' that's just as cringy as the OP imo, if you're looking at both of them without bias toward either point of view.
Ok without extra context I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that being a joke, but my question stands.
