An Instagram post celebrating the beauty of the Okoya family was met with a disrespectful comment stating, “They all look mummified.” This insensitive remark not only disrespects the individuals in question but also highlights the toxicity of online culture, where people often feel emboldened to make hurtful statements. Reducing someone’s appearance to an insult based on age or looks reflects a lack of empathy and disregard for how such words can affect others.
Comments like this not only diminish the celebratory tone of the post but also contribute to a culture of negativity. Rather than spreading hurtful judgments, it’s important to engage with content respectfully, focusing on uplifting others instead of tearing them down.
