Online battling should be about highlighting the contrast between you & your opponent lyrically, not offhandedly referencing embarrassing portions of their life completely outside of battling.

Then again face-value personals like fat jokes and short jokes are WIDELY accepted so perhaps this is just me disliking a style that isn't mine. Either way, my disdain for it exists.
