We wanted to know which things our culture seems to glorify when we absolutely shouldn’t.
Poor Sleeping Habits

“Not sleeping. I’ve heard so many people bragging about sleeping 3/4 hours a night. That is unhealthy.”
“What could be a smarter use of your time than making sure your body and mind are well rested?”
Celebrity Worship

“Yeah, this really confuses me. It creeps me out that some people can be so invested in a complete stranger.”
“I have a friend who replies to local celebrities on Facebook as if they were friends of hers. They are just local morning show hosts, but she seems to worship them.”
Workaholism

There are no bragging rights attached to working yourself to death.“‘You worked 48 hours last week? I had a part-time job once too!’ Or ‘I worked doubles six days in a row!’
To what end? The richest man in the cemetery is still dead. On my deathbed will my daughters be fondly remembering all those times I left them to go to work?”
Greed

“Making money without conscience. We’ve gotten to a place where ‘Can I make money at it?’ is the only factor we consider when we want to do something.
It seems these days we determine right or wrong, good or bad, moral or immoral by whether or not we can make money at it. Money = good, No money = bad… period.”
Alcohol Consumption

“I love good beer… But pretty much any amount of alcohol is unhealthy. It’s very normalized when it probably shouldn’t be.”
“This! I get called lame for not choosing to get blackout drunk,” said another user.
Large Breasts

“Boobs are boobs, and all boobs are beautiful.”
“Sorry guys, but they hurt sometimes — back, shoulders, bra wires, etc.”
Not Reading

“I really don’t think it is something to be proud of that you’re 25 and haven’t read anything since high school.
So many people seem to relish the fact that they don’t read and make a point of telling you that like they want you to pat them on the back and say ‘good job.’”
Politicians

“They are public servants, yet they are treated like celebrities.”
Another user agreed: “I’ve never understood this. These people are servants of the people but somehow they are above the people… I don’t get this.”
Constant Moral Outrage

“Constant social media outcries about X, Y, Z.”
“And most of it is so fake anyway. It’s a way to make them feel superior to others. ‘I’m morally outraged, look what a good person I am.’”
Toddler Beauty Pageants

“So disturbing and unethical, and should totally be banned.”
“I think they’re disgusting. A harrowing glimpse into the truly sad mentality of some of the mothers, and really leaving no ‘winners.’”
“Alpha” Mentality

“Demoting oneself to a social system used by canines doesn’t seem very ‘alpha’ to me.”
“We are complex social beings for a reason. There is no real benefit to regressing that complexity.”
Parenthood

“Why the constant pressure to reproduce?”
“It’s not for everyone. And that should be okay.”
Crime

“Glorifying serial killers and other well-known criminals, like Charles Bronson and the Kray twins.”
“We plaster their pictures and names everywhere so much we turn them into celebrities. It just gives the people who commit the crimes that much more incentive to do so.”
Andrew Tate

“That former kickboxer-turned-social media star that Incels look up to.”
“He is glorified by a lot of people and he is literally such a piece of garbage.”
Sexual Orientation

“I DON’T care! Love who you love and keep it moving. Trans? I hope you find comfort in your skin. Lesbian/Gay/Bi? I hope you find true love. Poly? As long as everyone is on board.”
“Your orientation is a part of you, just like eye color, hair, and how tall you are. Just be a kind person and respect others.”
Beauty Standards

“Particularly if they involve surgery/unhealthy measures to achieve them.”
“I’m very glad that many women are moving away from the BBL/fake butt trend. It’s fine to want a big butt, but that was literally killing people even if done semi-properly.”
Materialism

“Material things: expensive cars, clothes, accessories, homes, etc.”
“It’s not some signal of virtue like hard work or intelligence or anything in particular.”
Romanticizing Mental Illness/Neurodivergence
Image Credit: Shutterstock.
“Disclaimer: This is not the same as discussing it.”
“Making it your whole personality. It’s not quirky, it’s not ‘fun’ and it’s not something to be exploited. I find it dangerous when people on Tiktok are like if you listen to songs on repeat, you’re autistic! Bruh, you’re not a medical professional.”
