The stigma against women who aren't a size 0 is really getting fucking disgusting and old, time to grow up.

The pressures put on some women to fit in and look exactly like the unrealistic models that bludgeon everyone on a daily basis are completely unfair and yield tragic results in some cases. Why is it so hard for some of you to just accept that people are different and not have to elevate yourself above someone else in order to feel good about yourselves?

Treat others like you want to be treated, it's a pretty goddamn simple concept that is lost on a lot of you. People come in all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds. You are not fucking special. You are not better than anyone else.

I dont think people are stigmatizing women who arent size 0. They are stigmatizing women who are size 100.

Could backfire, tho. If she deals with shame by eating even more, pretty soon she's too big to shop at Target, so some other store is getting her money.

Not really good business practice.

But think how many times she has to trade up to a bigger size before that happens:awe:

Lets just say you don't go from a size 0 to a size manatee overnight.

Because the laws of physics applies to everyone? Being severely overweight is not a matter of "being different" it is a matter of stuffing your fat face and not exercising.

1) Most people with obesity problems are born big, so that makes no sense.
2) Ignorance, for SOME people obesity is a result of overindulging without exercise, but not for everyone. It makes it more convenient to hate on them when you lump everything into a tidy package like that, but it doesn't make it true by a long shot.

but being a fatass is good for nobody except the food industry who rakes in millions from them.

by fatasses being "different" you mean they are "lazy" because they don't want to take care of themself. and i'm talking about the 99.999999999999999999999% of them that don't have glandular/thyroid problems.

Wanna know a secret? If you wanna look good you have to eat healthy and exercise regularly. Just about all hot women work out 3-5 days a week. So when I come home to the states and see that the woman are twice the size of the women where I live I don't think anything other than "These women don't give a shit". They're extremely unattractive because they don't take care of their bodies.

Same goes for guys.

I'll agree with Platypus that there's still an unfair stigma against women who aren't model-thin, but there's also an inordinate number of morbidly obese beasts trying to co-opt that sentiment and claim that they too are being held down.

You're not all being held down, some of you just can't get up.
 
Sorry, but repost.

Didn't think it needed its own thread. Two pages in, guess I was wrong.

I disagree. I think the majority of women in real life who men drool over are not size zero. It's likely they're somewhere in the size 2-4 range.

That's their choice in your isolated scenario, who are you to judge them? Just like you're making a choice to be a fucking dick about it. Our food industry is in part largely responsible for obesity as it is.

Don't pretend that you're even remotely impacted by their life decisions. Obese people live much shorter lives as a straight up fact, so whatever healthcare argument is sure to come up is fucking moot and tired.

Just admit that you don't like them, you don't need to justify your distaste by throwing around words like lazy or come the conclusion that it's something that is easily controlled. If it were 'just that easy' for everyone, there would be a lot less obese people in this country. Who willingly wants to take potshot insults their entire life from people like you?

it is "just that easy" people are just too lazy to do it. it just takes a bit of discipline to live a healthy lifestyle. the only excuse to not do it is being lazy or not caring if they have shorter lives.

and yes i don't like lazy fatasses. but that isn't because they are fatasses, its because they are lazy. i hate lazy people.

i have much respect for the fatty's i see at the gym.

Actually, I drool over size...medium, say. Becuase I'm not gay enough to know what size 2-4 is. I keed, I keed. 😛

There's so much projection and assumption here I can see it's not worth my time to even try to break through that undue smugness.

If you have respect for someone, you don't use a hateful word to describe them. I think that says it all.

When I hear someone start to breathe heavily just because talking to me takes away their supply of oxygen or getting up from their chair to go throw away their empty big gulp from lunch, I definitely lose respect for them.

and there is so much ignorance on your end if you think it is more than people not eating properly, exercising, discipline, or a combination of the 3 that is causing people to let themselves get obese. it isn't rocket science it is extremely simple how to NOT be overweight. there is no super secret to it.
