My daughter has been body-shamed and faced sexism and homophobia.
So why are you, HER MOTHER, piling on with yet more body shaming? How about celebrating her choices? Keep your opinions to yourself, your daughter obviously knows them and decided to go a different way. If she's happy, you should be happy for her.
OP sounds horrible but not liking someone’s tattoo isn’t really body shaming
Posting about your disappointment about your dcs tattoo on a toxic website may not be body shaming, but it is something....
It can be a couple of things. If OP were just blowing off some smoke/venting here so that she can cool down and come back to her daughter feeling calmer, then that's a good use of the internet. If OP is here rallying support for cutting her daughter out of her life over of getting a Moo Deng tattoo, then that is a toxic use of DCUM. We don't really know which camp OP falls into here - but she did just throw a little tantrum over anyone pushing back, which suggests the latter.
We don’t know it was Moo Deng, just that it was a hippo. Not all hippos are Moo Deng, just as not all humans are you; refrain from assuming!
I'm sorry but what other hippo do you think a 20-something is getting this year as a tattoo
OP here. After reading this thread, I asked my daughter if the hippo is meant to be Moo Deng. She said that it’s not, and it represents adaptability, protectiveness, and survival. HOW DOES A HIPPO REPRESENT ADAPTABILITY, PROTECTIVENESS, AND SURVIVAL? But I am relieved that my daughter did not just get a tattoo of a meme.

If you spent five minutes reading you would know why a hippo represents adaptability, protectiveness, and survival.
OP has to be troll. No one can be this unhinged. Even in DCUMland

OP is definitely intense (and quite unpleasant tbh) but why DOES a hippo represent adaptability, protectiveness, and survival?

ikr? When I hear/read/see hippo, what pops in my head is "hippo hips." I think that was a saying in the 80's, maybe? Hippos are fat, slimy, water, yet land creatures. I may be confusing them with rhinos, which are also large, and surprisingly aggressive, like op.
My mom hates tattoos. Hates them. Told us our entire lives how much she hates them. I got a small wrist tattoo when I was 30. My mother completely flipped out, accused me of doing it to rebel and said it hurt her more than my sister's alcoholism. Personally, I think if the worst thing your kid does is get a tattoo, you're pretty lucky.

A tattoo is NOTHING in the grand scheme of life.
Seriously, my parents were immigrants. Not strict, but had certain expectations. My brother ended up having a mohawk in college and was in a punk rock band, both of which were admittedly cool to me as the younger sibling. But then as time went on his behavior became increasingly erratic. drugs, serious mental illness, financial disaster. So, some things can be much, much worse than a tatoo. I wouldn't blow my top off over this!
