Less than 2% of the population suffer anorexia or bulemia. 66% are fat. I think they are worried about the wrong thing.

Pretty close to the same amount of people who are deaf. And you'll never see a business make massive policy changes to ensure that staff never just start talking to people under an assumption that they can hear.

The high-end estimate which there is plenty of reason to doubt has the number of AN at 100,000 to 250,000. These fat asses only use AN to move the target off of their disordered grazing.

I was anorexic, and I went to my university's gym almost every day. They had a scale, and guess what? I never used it. I only trusted my own scale, weighed at the "correct" times.
Yes, anorexic/bulimic people weigh themselves often, but just not having a scale is going to do nothing to deter or help them. This is a symbolic gesture done to make fatties feel better or whatever. If the administration really wants to do something to help those suffering from body dysmorphia, they should give proper funding to mental health services, and financial aid to those seeking them.

Fucking fats and their fee-fees.
More like current trends in obesity and unfitness.

I swear to god if people/hams don't stop fucking speaking on behalf of people with eating disorders. Like I don't fucking already own three scales and two measuring tapes or would ever consider weighing myself in fucking public (talk about actually triggering). Just because I have a mental disorder doesn't mean I want everyone else to be inconvenienced by it (unlike fat sacks of lard).
Put a scale next to every machine for all I care. Seeing fat fucks is a thousand times more triggering.

Yeah if you're really concerned with triggering people with eating disorders, don't be fat. Nothing disturbs people with eating disorders more than the fat fucks.

By "eating condishuns" they mean fats, and fats who claim to be anorexic. They see you as just some skinny bitch with privilege.
Fats care only about themselves and their next meal.

Goto a ProAna site and its almost entirely obese as shit girls who lost or even gained 10 pounds in the last year and have an ultimate goal weight in the overweight range.

Wow. People at my university's gym just put sticky notes saying "you are beautiful" etc on all the scales.. And I thought that was ridiculous lol
[–] Bigtop 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
That's such a stupid idea. Fat brains at work.
[–] Not-a-goat 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
Subtle shitlording? Maybe there's hope yet.
So let's also remove all food from the cafeteria, so they don't get triggered. How about that?
[–] Runway22L 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
That doesn't make sense dude, people have to eat. I think the fatties would be more triggered if you took away their goodies! How about we just get rid of the gym and all references to physical fitness? That should make the few snowflakes happy right?
[–] Not-a-goat 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
I was trying to play on the stupidity of giving ground to those stupid demands. Guess I didn't do it right :-P
[–] smoledman 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Fuck. Life is triggering for these snowflakes.
[–] Snu-snu 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
This triggering culture is completely bullshit fat ideas. It's an absolute joke to hide things away so they don't come to the realization that they are gigantic sacks of mayo with a face.

Thank you! Well said! You poor kids. Jesus.

You know how expensive the scales used to weigh cars or zoo animals are?

Have a friend lift you, loudly guesstimate your weight, and then take out a measuring band XD
[–] theepilepticferret ago
Because hamlogic dictates that if you don't have access to a scale, then that means you aren't fat! Or something.
[–] 8388524? 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Using that logic, they better take the numbers off the fucking weights as well. Facts are facts whether food slaves like them or not.
[–] GuntPunt 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago (edited ago)
Doea anyone proofread these articles?
Anyway, I hope they get their scale back. Fatties will do anything to protect their feelings and hide from facts.
