Obese people in planes

[Darwin333]

It really bothers me. You can throw whatever excuse you want at me for it -- "They did this to themselves!" or "We're trying to help!" -- but the fact of the matter is that you're making a goddamn excuse to belittle other people. For some reason, treating someone like a sub-human is acceptable as long as their condition might be easily taken care of. Let's say that you have a weird accent or pronounce words strangely/incorrectly. Would you enjoy it if I made fun of you for that? I mean... you should know better than to pronounce words incorrectly regardless of where you're from. Keep in mind that I didn't state that I merely pointed it out; I would very blatantly deride you for it. I highly doubt that you'd find it fun... unless you're a masochist? :hmm:

What makes it all worse is that you do all this, and most of you damn well know that some of these people eat a lot because it's their comfort. Comfort from what? All the shit that life throws at them, which includes people treating them terribly. In other words, you openly treating a fat person like shit and them being aware of it only makes the situation worse for those people. So, if that's not clear enough, YOU AREN'T HELPING! It reminds me of a story that boogie2988 (a large YouTuber) told one time about how a good friend of his just started openly making fun of him for his weight (this being years ago), and that just made the situation worse.

For me, this doesn't just include weight. It bothers me when friends of mine "people watch" and openly mock people for stuff like their haircut or clothes. I do not care for people being rude to people (regardless of whether they know it or not) for superficial reasons.

You gotta cut them some slack. They simply can't grasp how fatty McFatty is getting more poon than they are so they lash out against them. Also they are running out of people who they can discriminate against while remaining "politically correct".

I really think that instead of flipping out at the people that are fat shaming, the fatties should accept the shame. The only way to advance and improve is to accept and realize your mistakes.

We need more shaming, and not less. Society as a whole needs more shaming.

Do you think that fat people don't realize they are fat already?

Frankly anyone that needs to "shame" someone else has very likely been shamed themselves. Did a girl ask you "is it in yet" or "is that it" or point and say how cute it looked to you or something? Maybe she made a remark about never seeing an innie before? I can't think of any other reason that a grown person would take pleasure in "shaming" someone else over something that person is already well aware of.

You can tell us, we won't judge.

I'm like this on a plane:

Barely 5'7", 160 lbs, and super adjusted to tight spots. A plane seat? More like the Hilton. You ever sleep in a gun turret for a month? Yeah, who's laughing now fatty! :awe:

Manlet!

 

[Nograts]

Manlet!

Napoleon syndrome is real. Come at me bro! I have a low center of gravity and cat like speed and reflexes! Hiss! Hiss!

:awe:

What's your body fat percentage, because your BMI says that you're fat.

BMI is as useless as the dick on a priest.

5) The seat getter upper. The asshole who takes the window seat and gets up 9 million times during an hour flight, often does stretching in the aisle while making groaning sounds with his crotch/ass at your eye level.

Or the seat getter upper who just has to yank down on the chair in front of them to pull themselves out of their chair

Been tall for most of my life. Compared to school bus seats, or even the back seats of SUVs (parent's old Explorer). airplane seats are practically luxury. That, or I'm just used to being cramped.

During a trip to Hawaii, had one person in front try to recline. Between my knees, and a little work from the calves, his chair reclined about as much as a church pew (hint: very little). He tried, slamming himself into the seat to try to make it move, but eventually my victory and laptop table would not be denied.

Oh god it's always old hags who do this


Anyway I don't think shaming fat people is useful in any way, but that doesn't mean I can't be annoyed if fat rolls are invading the space I paid for!

It's because of this that I like manlets: I can see above them, they move first when on a collision course, and don't take my leg space on the train when sitting vis-à-vis.

If people hated on fat people on the internet just because they're bullies, they'd pick on short people too. But they don't, because it's not their fault and are not imposing discomfort on other people because of a choice they do.

I'm thin but I work to stay that way. I can eat maybe 2500 calories a day. I see people at work eat 400-600 calories each break and there are 5 breaks in a day and then go home and have 2 meals. I swear they are eating 4500 calories a day and not getting fat. Life is not fair. People who can eat 4000+ calories a day and not gain weight really have no right to rip on "fat people" when they have superior genetics.

 

[Ackmed]

Sitting next to a fatty sucks, and I don't want their fat spilled over onto me. Lose some weight, have some respect for other people. I have no problems with them taking up two seats if they pay for it. Just don't take up a quarter of mine and expect me to pay for it.

Your a bit of an obsessive twit from most of your posts lately.

Who is "us"? The fatties?

No, fat people don't realize they're fat. They may know they're fat, but they don't REALIZE that they're fat. Because realization is very powerful, my fat friend. It will drive you to change. And what the fuck does you being a fat-ass has anything to do with my penis?

I don't take pleasure in shaming anyone, but SHAME is something that a person, ANY respectable person should have. It drives you to do better. I know what is shameful, and what is not, there are values that are taught to me by my parents. Perhaps they did it right. If anyone is capable of self-reflection, then the shame will consume them and initiate the change. Otherwise, you would just don't give a shit, because you know, no self-respect and all.

Anyways, resume stuffing your fat face, because apparently you're more interested in lashing out at people that are telling the truth, rather than realize something is wrong, feel shameful about it, and fix it.
