If Jenny ran a cult

quote:

Commuters on the London Underground are being handed cards telling them they are a "fat, ugly human" by a group that claims to "hate and resent fat people".

Pffft, resent? That's practically a compliment. They are not worthy of resent.

Absolutely read this thread title as "If Jenny ran a cunt".

I wasn't quite sure what that meant, but it was click-worthy.

She would love China. Any chick over 50 kg is openly and verbally fat shamed by everyone, including friends and family.

LOL


BITCH I RUN THIS CUNT!

Not really sure why people "hate" fat people. It's one of those things that's never going to affect your life.

Are people worried that a fat guy is going to accidentally sit on them and crush their ribs or something?

I'm all for any way that encourages people to lose weight and be healthy, but I don't see how bullying or insulting someone is going to be all that effective. I would imagine after getting bullied for being fat a fat person would simply feel bad about it for about a day and then carry on with their lifestyle.

I was a slightly chubby kid in grades 7 and 8 and was insulted about it constantly by two of the people I hung around the most while at school. I stayed the same weight for both of those years, and then grew like 6 inches in grades 9 and 10 and all of a sudden I wasn't chubby anymore by any standards. Nor was I lazy in any way, and played several sports and was better at them than those two friends I mentioned, yet even after I was no longer chubby they kept calling me fat for the rest of High School just because when they first met me I was a chubster.

From grade 10 until I was a year into university I exercised frequently, worked full-time at a physically demanding job and walked everywhere (I went to school downtown).

As soon as I went crazy in 2009 and they put me on a bunch of medication I gained quite a bit of weight in a very short period of time then lost a bunch then over the course of a few months lost a huge amount of balance and muscle mass and could no longer go to the gym, so then came the weight again.

So for someone who has never really struggled with their size at any point in their life I don't know why it matters whatsoever what someone else's weight is.

I understand the health care cost argument. Yes, diabetics and people with heart disease certainly do cost the system a lot of money, but there are other lifestyle choices that cost the system enormous amounts of money too.

In any case, I'd like to say that since I started that wheelchair exercise thread I've lost 25 pounds and feel a lot better, so thanks to the people who gave me nutrition and exercise advice.

Way to ruin the thread fatty!

Not sure I get it either. The only argument I heard against fat people is that they're a burden to the health system. But then, it's weird that smokers and heavy drinkers (unless they're driving) aren't targeted the same way.

It's just weird. It's probably a cultural thing, with gluttony being a sin (whereas turning your lungs into lumps of coal and drinking your liver to a pulp aren't).

It actually does affect me when I have to roll and turn these people, or wipe their ass and change their nasty rotting dressings for them when they end up in the hospital. They are the biggest (lol) risk for injury. Hurt my back or shoulder caring for some behemoth and goodbye career.

Overweight people are a huge drain on health care, and thus, society as a whole. There are "other lifestyle choices" sure, but the majority of people who end up in hospital are overweight - and their health issues are all related to that, plain and simple. It costs thousands of dollars a day for a hospital bed, and overweight people have longer hospital stays and have more frequent/repeat hospital admissions.

Fuck outta here with "it doesn't affect you." It sure as hell does.

I drink, smoke, and have gotten pudgy. If i ever have a wound to dress, i hope it is on the back of my thigh so that i may cancer shart on a nurse.

Nah, you'd just have a rectal tube inserted. And your wound be so disgusting and painful it could only be changed in the OR.

I have the sphincter of a young Andre Agassi.

No way the tube stays in.

More likely it's just a hangover from school days where most bullying happens. Smoking and drinking are "cool" to an adolescent but being fat and unfit are open subjects to playground mockery. And obesity is visually obvious and generally considered physically unattractive. Smoking and drinking don't have such obvious aesthetic effects.

With that said, I don't think a social stigma around obesity is necessarily a bad thing. Not everyone responds to tough love, but a culture of acceptance around the subject would probably be worse, as most people are happy to shy away from their problems if there isn't a regular painful reminder that forces them to confront them. I don't think bullying is inherently a bad thing, and if you're bullying someone about something they have direct control of, such as their weight, eating habits and lifestyle, it can be constructive. By contrast, bullying someone for something they have no power to control or change is just cruelty, in my opinion.

Is this your first time in a cult? Lololololol.

That's also a good point. I'm trying to understand how it would apply here, because this may well be a cultural quirk of ours... But, as I recall it, kids would not pick on fatties in middle and high school. I remember kids mocking "poofters", whomever they took to be an "idiot", and people with a temper.

Couldn't there be some sort of middle-ground though?

I'm not sure bullying works, as bullied children are more likely to suffer from adult obesity. If they turn to food for emotional comfort, bullying will only turn it into a vicious circle, won't it?

Sure, when social justice warrior complain fit bodies are "unrealistic" and "all bodies are beautiful", this could turn an unhealthy lifestyle into the new normal, but I'm not sure doing the exact opposite is a good idea either.

Ok, well I forgot you were a nurse, so... Fuck!

And like I said I agree with the health care argument, but smokers cost a fuckload of money to the system, as do people with a variety of eating disorders from binge eaters to chicks who starve themselves until they weigh 60 pounds soaking wet. (Both of those being considered real illnesses) Not to mention alcoholics, drug users, and a massive amount of people who ignore symptoms for something like depression and end up being put on expensive medications or have to spend weeks in a psych ward.

Then we have people who ignore dental hygiene and need oral surgery intervention to prevent heart attacks from gum disease, and of course the delightful category of people who just refuse to take whatever medication has been prescribed to them and end up in the hospital over and over.

Why aren't people from all those categories getting railed on as hard as the fatties? Those are all choices, I believe, and result in hospitalization and expensive treatment, and some of those are even easier to take care of than losing a significant amount of weight.

Edit:

Ok, well, the answer is probably because of all the lifestyle "choices" I listed, being fat is the one that makes you the most ugly.

Although I gotta say turning yellow from liver failure or having to smoke through a throat vagina are also pretty nasty.

Yes, being extremely fat is repugnant. You wanna join my cult or not? Shiet.

Can I smoke

Alex, smoke... pole? Lolol.

The only time fat people bother me:
-Seeing them at the beach.
-Sitting next to them on a flight or movie.
-Wearing form fitting clothing.
-Watching them over eat at a buffet.

Comedians should get a waiver though. I guess because I've never been fat I don't get it.

Samoans are the only fat fucks I fucks with.

They make good linemen

Generally, fat people only really bother me when they are eating like a pack of starving bears in public, or when they try to dress or act sexy.

Also when you gear them talk about how the world is shallow for not dating them.

Big isn't beautiful. Deal with it.
