Motivation or "hate speech"?

I now find anyone who doesn't look after themselves exceptionally unattractive, especially when they think it's normal to be fat. I think it's disgusting people posting pictures saying this is what normal people look like, no it isn't, it's what unhealthy people look like. (extremely controversial post)

I agree with you. The normal human body is not covered in way extra fluffy fat.

Oh yay, NORMAL, let's do normal. There is a thing called bell shaped curve. Inside it resides all the normal.

I have to say that the whine in this thread is going lovely with my Chardonnay

My cheese has lots of fat. And goes better with your wine.

Hum. Perhaps a little wine in exchange for your cheese, and we can both dip into the whine?

Ummm..... No. That's the way you choose to read it. She went from unhappy with herself to satisfied with her achievements. Anyone can do the same. Her personal goals don't have to be yours.

DavPul, I quit replying to you a while ago because you misinterpret everything I say and pretty much just state the obvious. Just put me on ignore or something.

Then what about the abnormal human body? :huh:

I don't think I like where your viewpoint is going...

...and I'm even on the pro-Kang side of this argument.

Yeah, she posted something on her own personal facebook page that went viral, was picked up by the news agencies, and then people lined up to call her names and belittle her parenting skills.

How dare she ever post anything on facebook again!!! Hasn't she learned her lesson? Does she need to get put back in her place again? I am certain that from reading the 26 words from both of her posts we can ascertain everything that she is, along with all the animus in her soul. She's a black hearted villian with no redeeming value. Let's line up to check her again.

Because everyone that posts on Facebook is an attention seeking *kitten*, right?

If she was a woman who let's say went from 210 pounds to 170, posting a pic with her 3 kids captioned with "what's your excuse", I have a feeling that the public's reaction wouldn't have been anything like this.

No, you're right, because at 170lb she may still be considered 'fat' and people wouldn't think she was body shaming, because they wouldn't aspire to be fat anyway.

Wait! So her "what's your excuse?" line is only body shaming because of the way she looks?

"Hey. you too can go from overweight to normal weight!" - Body shaming, burn the witch!
"Hey, you too can go from overweight to less overweight!" - Yay, motivation.

"Whats your excuse?" is body shaming because it assumes that if you don't look like her, you must WANT to and are therefore not trying hard enough.

However, if she just went from being very fat to just being marginally fat, I doubt people would have the same reaction, because having a fat body isn't something that people aspire to.

ETA: That doesn't make one better than the other. I think "Whats your excuse?" is a pretty crappy thing to say no matter what you starting and finishing point is. Not everyone gives a $$$ about losing weight.

The woman still has body fat............NORMAL body fat %. This is what a NORMAL body looks like.

DavPul, I quit replying to you a while ago because you have irrefutable rebuttals for everything I say and pretty much just state really good points. I find you hard to ignore or something.

The abnormal human body would be covered in fluffiness that is not normal.

Fluffy fat is what I currently look like and its disgusting

Hate speech? I think that some people are just angered at one of their most sacred excuses being rendered invalid.

Wut?



A normal distribution includes quite the spread. Including extra fluffy spread.

So why are you replying to him now if you quit replying to him awhile ago? And since you're the one getting your jimmies rustled, why would he be the one to have to put you on ignore?

Logic. Failed.

Hmm, I think that you are confusing "my ideal" with "normal".


At my current weight, I may not be your ideal, but I'm pretty normal. Boring even. Really super normal and not terribly exciting.

Because I noticed he keeps replying to my posts, and this is all I really have to say. Folks don't need to waste their time replying to almost everything someone they disagree with says.

:brokenheart: I'm not getting my jimmies rustled, I'm partaking in some relatively engaging discussion on a sunday night like everyone else.

It's public forum and if someone wants to disagree with everyone, then they can - waste of time or not. And if it bothers you, then the common sense thing would be to put them on ignore, not the other way around.

And yet, you still don't ignore. Life is soooo difficult
