Comparing fat to gay was pretty funny... aren't gay men one of the fittest demographics in America?
[–] ShitArchon [S] ago
So not only is gay subculture the fittest, it's the least oppressive to fat guys who want to get laid. There's a fetish for it.

Why is it so objectionable to make an obvious statement like: "Obesity is bad"????
It obviously is. People who are obese would choose not to be (if it didn't take any effort) so why can we not celebrate being relatively fit?? Heart disease doesn't care about your feelings, Type 2 diabetes doesn't care about your self-esteem, your joints and connective tissues don't care if you feel bad about that 5th donut you're eating.
Shame is a tried & true method for society to encourage positive behavior and discourage negative behavior. Don't want to be shamed? Don't lie about your calorie intake/exercise amount. Eat what you KNOW you should (not what you WANT to eat) and move around like you KNOW you should (not how much you WANT to) and I would bet large dollars 99% of the obeasts would lose weight.

She claims to have always been considered a good writer.
She uses the word "bigot" wrong. (Esp. bad as that is one the more prominent words in her article.)
According to Oxford English Dictionaries, a "bigot" is "A person who is intolerant toward those holding different OPINIONS."
You literally cannot be a bigot about someone's body size. Just saying.

Technically, by dictionary definition, FAs and SJWs are bigots; their enemies aren't. Likewise on issues of race or economics. Not believing in the hypothesis that Australian Aborigine populations and Japanese populations are equally intelligent because H. sapiens magically stopped evolving 70,000 years ago doesn't make me a bigot by dictionary definition.
But SJWs argue that the dictionaries defining "racism" and "bigot" were written by white people and therefore are oppressive and we should use whatever definitions SJWs want.

The bigger they are, the dumber they are. It's as if their brain cells become assimilated by their fat cells.
