'Fat' Comments Should Be Illegal

I don't know tbh, that's why I prefixed it with moderate. I think your close friends and family should definitely keep you "aware" that you need to lose weight and fat people, at least those who want to lose weight like I did, shouldn't be too sensitive about it. I know I was, but in hindsight I wish they were just totally blunt with me. I can't even look at myself at my old pictures with all my slim friends

This is why the neg was introduced in the first place, and a good reason to bring it back

Why? Fat people are aware of it and they shouldn't avoid facing the truth that they are this size, but shouldn't lose weight just because other people tell them to. It's not their responsibility

I totally get this point, but after a while you become for a lack of a better word "desensitized" to the way you look till one day you look in the mirror and say, "how the f did I get so big". I think at the end of the day the people that are close to you are just looking for your best intentions, I used to think they were just being mean to me, that I know I'm a bit chubby, but that certainly didn't motivate me to do anything. Ironically in hindsight I developed somewhat of a resentment that they weren't even more mean to me and let me remain the way I did. This is the best way I can express it, listen to what he says

Yeah, I understand that when you're overweight (or missed opportunities for a better life) you look to blame someone in a position of authority over you (e.g. parents). It may be a natural instinct as there is always the correcting part of your thinking process that reminds you you're in control of your body and life, but it would be nice if you had more guidance or support. And actually when you're overweight for a period of time you become used to it and won't notice how much weight you've gained until you lose it.

I feel annoyed when people suggest to me things I can do to improve my appearance, even if they mean well. It's a reflection of the attitude that they think I'd be better if I looked better.

She has like no boobs with bloodhound eyes, no where near perfect.

I believe in moderate fat shaming comments as a former fatty tbh, that's the only way I put down the cake. I think I would've ate myself to oblivion.

Her breasts are perfectly fine as they are natural. Her breasts do not stand out there because she is lying on her back. You don't need an MSc in Physics to work that one out.

Those are pecs

Oh right, I'm debating with an 8 year old. Okay, I'm out. Feel free to leave me a visitor message when you grow up.

No need to have a period bro, it's not like she'll look at you anyway, it's just an opinion. Defending her honor on the internet won't get you sympathy pussy eitherway

Im fine thank you. I actually have a girlfriend. Probably because I don't use terms like 'bro' and 'pussy'.

It's frustrating how many people would rather rant about freedom of speech instead of actually thinking about the reasoning behind her argument. Obviously we can't ban people from calling others 'fat' - or similar - but the point that Lawrence et al are getting at is the fact that the culture of labeling people who are completely normal as fat is resulting in the culture of obsessive weight-loss and impossible body-standards that is ruining the health of millions of young girls (and boys).

I think the real solution is that the government should introduce a fat tax, this would be compulsory for everyone and go into a gastric band fund, if they ever reached the obese stage then their gastric band fund would be used. If they never became obese this is added to their pension, so not only does this prevent fattys from being a drain on society, it also creates a tangible financial incentive to avoid obesity. Win/win.

What do you mean by this?
