Fat shaming cards

[otters]

And that's my last thoughts on the subject of vaping here. Attacking my preference towards becoming a non-smoker is outside the scope of this thread.

All of a sudden, how astute!
Probably I should reconsider whether or not you're boring

Sory, kallipolis, but an article full of "Won't someone please think of the children" scare tactics doesn't really strike me as an unbiased source. It's obvious that adults enjoy fruit and candy flavours too. The simple fact is that yes, nicotine is toxic, but it's much less harmful than tobacco. And that's my last thoughts on the subject of vaping here. Attacking my preference towards becoming a non-smoker is outside the scope of this thread.

Read the entire article, and the readers' comments. The article tackles the issue from the pro, and anti perspectives.

Yaaaaawwwwnnnn… Bunny, even if you were the sexiest thing on earth, your lack of logic bores me to tears.

Otters my man, why in the hell are you arguing with this asshole? He's a pasty pock-faced Canuck with a jock-strap fetish and yet he has the gall to "call out 'dem fatasses" lmfao.

I'm sorry, but I have this problem when it comes to people who use SJW, I immediately discredit their opinion on being anything of value. I'm seeing too much of this bullshit opinion now that people are doing these things to themselves to get attention. Do the people who take part in this opinion do it because they're afraid to acknowledge that people are this hateful? Or do they just lack empathy themselves?

There is so much god damn hatred in this world that it doesn't matter if this was fake and set up.

Thank you. Took the words out of.my mouth.

I really don't get this whole purpose to fat shame. It's stupid. If you're going to make it your business to be in somebody's business, be respectful about it. Bad enough, you're being nosey, inviting yourself in someone's else life when they never asked for your input or help.

Trying to encourage folks to be like gym bro and miss instagram taking pictures of their bodies, being vain as fuck and arrogant too like we need that shit. No thanks. Folks already have a twisted idea on what healthy and fit looks like. Ready to call gym guy healthy with his heart all fucked up.underneath those muscles of his.

He's allowed to have a different view without being insulted for his looks, as i remember he looks very hot with a nice hefty cock, the only thing i find insulting and tiring is otters repeated talking down to him, indeed it's all otter seems to do nowadays.

And completely against the COC.

 

[jbrown329]

Yeah, take the medications I'm on and see if you don't put weight on. It's certainly isn't from overeating or junk food.

 

[rareboy]

And completely against the COC.

This is as may be...but the knife cuts both ways. People need to stop running around calling out fat people for their appearance as well.

That actually sounds like a 12 year old's response. "He called me a name first!"

The shaming cards are the same 12 year old mentality.

I'd posit that using "lardasses" to refer to a class of people is more than a little bit on the pre-teen side too.

Dante used to make good contributions to this forum. It's a shame to see him degenerate to just ranting and spewing.

> pasty

Sorry for not wanting to tan so much I look like a biker jacket at 35.

> pock-marked

So? I had bad acne when I was a teenager. It's called genetics and is thus completely out of my control. What isn't genetic is being fat.

> Canuck

Literally fucking how is that an insult?

> with a jockstrap fetish

Again. If that's the best insult you can come up with, please try again.

Hope that was irony, given the topic of the thread.

While I think the card has a modicum of truth, how nasty to go around saying (or giving out cards as such) to people. The truth is you don't really know anything about the person.

The modicum is the mean part.
Calling out things people are sensitive about.

 

[NotHardUp1]

"Truth" isn't a virtue as it is in science, even if science avers from using that term. Telling a poor kid begging in the streets of India that his parents were asshats for crippling him isn't doing him any good, only satisfying some cruel twitch in the person telling the tale.

A lot of incorrigible and spoiled runaway youth become drug-addicted prostitutes and/or whores with little to live for and little motivation to rise above it. Telling one of them that isn't any help and likely won't be the intervention that prods them to change.

Many women wear ridiculous makeup and buy into sexist definitions of female "worth" from a dominant chauvinistic male culture. Telling one of them that won't necessarily do her any good, but will merely allow the teller to get his/her jollies off from telling them like it is. It's gratuitous.

Sharing in a caring manner, even if tough love, is proven to be more effective. This isn't caring. This is merely taking the anonymity of the trolls on the internet to the streets. Vive la bastards.

 

[Zeno Lorea]

Rather than calling them names, why not let them know you are willing to walk with them on their journey of a healthier lifestyle?
Overweight people know they are overweight, no need to tell them that by shaming them. Let them know, by your actions, that you accept them just the way they are (don't we all need that?). Kindness and love will encourage change. Shaming leads to despair and self-defeat. People have enough of that already.

After reading through the whole thread, I think this is the best comment by far.

Here's an extreme case that illustrates how far the matter of morbid obesity can stretch the imagination.

The photographs in this article are not recommended viewing for the sensitive person:

Unfortunately, "The Learning Channel" turned into little more than a P. T. Barnum freakshow long ago.

And the Daily Mail has always earned its reputation.

Even with those monstrosities, it still evokes sadness that a human condition can get so, but no more than when one meets a sex addict or doper. Excess is excess.
