I Was Kicked Off The Harry Potter Ride For Being Too Fat For The Seats

Damn you. I thought I was doing so well...

It was the depression and disgust surrounding Donald Trump’s election that sent me into a YA fantasy endurance run where I went so far as to purchase an armchair for my round-the-clock bedroom reading.

She should have bought a treadmill instead. Brain transplants aren’t available yet.

While “safety” is often the given reason that fat people are excluded, it’s clear to us that companies are actually just keeping the general public safe from our fatness. In this case, rather than turning people away daily from an incredible Hogwarts moment, Universal Studios could have simply designed and built a ride from the start that welcomed a diverse range of body sizes...

Why should theme park owners be required to spend millions of extra dollars to increase the weight & size capacity of every portion of their amusement park just to accommodate a small percentage of the population? I say small percentage because the overwhelming majority of amusement park rides are already designed to accept some pretty large people - it is generally only the morbidly obese statistical outliers who cannot fit in them.

Should have been charged for everything she tried on, as she stretched each item beyond the point of being salable to anyone else.

Lard A$$, perhaps they should rig up the Queen Mary for you so you can enjoy the Harry Potter ride?

At Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, the locking mechanisms on the Hogwarts ride were adjusted in 2010 to safely accommodate bigger bodies, but not before this man was “inspired” to lose weight so he could be allowed on board. That’s wrong. Exclusion and shame are not motivational techniques; they’re forms of bullying. Exclusion makes me, a logical and educated person, believe that I’m at fault for not fitting into this ride instead of recognizing that rides should accommodate all people’s bodies.

Natural law is a bully. Natural law sez that by the time anyone can become too big for the seats, he/she should have long outgrown the desire to be on the ride in the first place.

Yes, so let’s design a children’s ride that can fit a 3’ tall four year old, a 3’ wide morbidly obese woman and Andre The Giant.

[csvset]

She takes pride in being an obese tattooed pig. A pox on these Harry Potter pig women. Whew! No mention of a man or children, so society has been blessed in this instance.

Come on, now - I was having a pretty good morning until you posted that... ...whatever it is.

Now my eyes don’t work right - I think the shock caused them to go in to “limp home” mode...

[golux]

I, personally, am often attracted to bigger women, (though repulsed by lib-tards,) alas in this video she is, in fact, permanently ruining the clothes she is taking in to “try on.” She should be forced to pay for these destroyed promotional-video props, or, she should be arrested.

Sounds like this person needs her own zip code.

[tired&retired]

The proper description would be “inconsiderate slob”

[Noumenon]

Beer and churros. The breakfast of champions.

THAT, sir, is Trigglypuff, engaged in what in some circles is called civil discourse.

She's trying to keep Milo from speaking, in the name of free speech!

[tired&retired]

I hate sitting next to women like this on a long flight...

Makes me want to barricade the plane’s bathroom door with them inside.

[WayneS]

Exactly. Some people are so self-absorbed, so ready to be offended, so sure they are being discriminated against and so ignorant about how things actually work in the real world, that they are completely irrational.

[kaboom]

...Donald Trump’s election that sent me into a YA fantasy endurance run...

Perhaps she should channel her frustration into a physical run, daily, and put down the pints.

[WayneS]

Okay...

...but please don’t post it again...

...please...

;-)

PS - Isn’t Trigglypuff a Pokémon?

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

but they gave me front of the line passes to rest of the rides at Universal.

She didn't complain about getting comp'ed, tho...
