There, fixed it.
Then it would be advisable to decide not to be fat, wouldn’t it?
I’ve been called much worse than that
How would anyone know your weight unless you tell them?
I originally tried to have my handle be MNFat, but the name was already taken so I had to settle with MNDude!
Don’t take the fat online.
part of the Lefts push on criminalizing Hate Speech. Oh, the big bad bullies!!
ummm... most nurses are fat.
Why not just ask them?
Obamacare’s gonna require they get personal counseling about that health risk. Right?
Well, I guess fat people could pretend to be skinny online, just like old guys pretend to be in their twenties, police pretend to be teenage girls, teenage girls pretend to be parents and teenage boys pretend to be everything under the sun and know all there is to know about anything.
Fat is unattractive (to most normal folks). but I don’t go out of my way to insult porkers, and try to disguise the look of disgust.
The one thing that the article does not mention is the way liberals associate fatness with conservative middle America. They are constantly sneering at “fat” Red State yahoos. They are the ones who started calling attention to fat shoppers at Walmart and ridiculing them. Any time you see some Lib cartoon attacking conservatives, they almost always depict the conservative as a fat, ignorant, Southern redneck. In the minds of liberals, “fat” goes hand in hand with stupid and conservative. That is why there is such hatred and why it is as accepted as it is.
So fat people have thin skin?
“a look at the reality of being overweight online.”
As opposed to being overweight offline?
Remember, no one’s fat at an online dating sight. Some are merely “Ruebenesque”.
Wow, this article is backwards:
“Ms. Chou noted that psychological research has documented the ill effects of weight stigma”
Ms. Chou, whatever those effects are, they pale in comparison to the ill effects of being overweight! “Weight stigma”, as you call it, is a healthy societal shaming mechanism that is intended to motivate people to both lead a healthier lifestyle and be better contributors to society.
Some take it too far, no doubt, but if we rid ourselves of it entirely, we would be doing fat people no favors.
After 20 years of working in a prison, I am immune to name-calling. I am overweight, and that’s usually what the convicts go for first (because, of course, they’re idiots). I usually follow up the insult by saying “yep, fat but free!” or “I’ll be thinking real hard about your insult when I get HOME and open that BEER” or “pfft, amateur!” and walk away smiling. My fellow officers ask me why I don’t write the convicts up. It’s simple: every convict I’ve ever met would rather let me get in a “free shot” than deal with tickets, which take away privileges and affects their paroles. So it’s a big game really. The few times when I’ve run into people insulting me in the real world I’ve done something similar, and the insulter has walked away, baffled. People (especially liberals) are so thin skinned these days.
