    Are we seriously contriving an awkwardly constructed conversation just so we can call our hypothetical wife fat?

    This would be a disappointing attempt at humor if it were posted on facebook, surely we can do better

    Peg: “Al, does this dress make me look fat?”

    Al: “No Peg, it’s the fat that makes you look fat.”

    I thought this was funny because the “husband wolf” loves his shitty, lame joke so much, and the “wife wolf” looks exasperated with him. Fatphobia and sexism don’t even need be part of the equation. It’s okay to laugh!

        I’m fat, I’ve been trying to lose weight for a couple of months now, and I can say, being fat is not good. So yeah, lose weight everybody.

          I wish you all the best. Hopefully this post is not too abusive for you and you still have a sense of humor. Best regards

            I don’t feel abused by the post. In a fucked up way, it’s kinda funny. But that doesn’t mean it’s fine. I’ve heard much worse. Not necessarily about fat people, but other minorities. Being transgender here is impossible, for example. I have a trans friend and I have to hear my mother bitch about whatever “advantage” trans people have, but “shouldn’t”. I’m fine, but others aren’t.

            Kinda went off track there, sorry.

          Do I need to fill some form and send it to the administration of humor to get my permit to joke about that?

                That’s the thing that’s funny about bigoted “humor”, it’s not actually funny, it just shows how shitty you are and how low your standards for comedy are :3

                  Do you think that the suggestion to exercise regularly and to eat healthy food is a joke? Uh, okay. That explains the problem.

      It’s objectively unhealthy. Stop trying to convince others your laziness isn’t something to look down on and ride a bike

      Obesity is addiction.

      We need to stop normalizing it.

      You’re not a bad person for being fat.

      That said obesity is one of the most selfish forms of addiction given the carbon footprint it takes to become obese.

      You are not stuck in your disease, you can escape it. Do not normalize an unhealthy lifestyle because it is easier.

            There’s nothing morally wrong with it. There’s no reason to judge someone for it. Being fat yourself doesn’t excuse being an asshole to others for something that literally doesn’t affect you at all

              What right do you have to consume more than you need especially in a time where it is readily evident that our consumption ( be it material or food ) is causing our planet to be destroyed by us.

              So the argument can actually be made … yeah choosing to be obese and stay there and advocate for it is wrong.

              Being fat doesn’t make you a bad person. Anyone who says that is an ass. However advocating for obesity being ok and normalizing it does.

              The moral (and ethical) argument against obesity is: consuming more than you need is wasteful and selfish especially in a time where our consumption is driving the climate to the brink

                That’s a shit reason what the heck xD it’s not fat people’s fault shit gets wasted my guy, that’s like blaming people who don’t garden for climate change while they’re leveling the Amazon for farm land. Stop looking for excuses to shit on fat people, or at least don’t make them so cartoonishly stupid cx
