What's with the fat jibes guys?

[Marc]

Seriously?.. can't you find another reason for disliking a HM other than their weight.

Fair enough if you dislike the twins for being bitchy moany etc but what does their weight have to do with anything?

I may have made comments about it in the past (I'm not entirely sure because I've always thought of myself as being a bit chubby so I wouldn't have had any reason to do so).. but it's pretty immature.

[Niamh.]

I know, it's so shallow

[Jemal]

I dont dislike the twins, they can be annoying

[Black Dagger]

Anybody who referred to Wolfy as 'Whale' or the twins as 'Fatward' should be banned permanently on the spot for being tedious, pathetic ******** to be quite honest with you :pipe:

[King Gizzard]

Proper playground stuff

[Josy]

It's pathetic.

[Jake.]

Marc :love: it's beyond pathetic and to be quite honest I don't see why people can get away with it, given how it could cause offence to forum members

[CaudleHalbard]

They describe themselves as "Fat, Funny and Friendly"

Only one of those is correct! ;)

[Jordan.]

All housemates get called names on here I don't see why fat is the only one made an issue of :shrug:

[King Gizzard]

All housemates get called names on here I don't see why fat is the only one made an issue of :shrug:

because it gets really, really immature, it's not just saying they're fat, it's the way its said most of the time, you'd think members were children

[Jake.]

All housemates get called names on here I don't see why fat is the only one made an issue of :shrug:

BecUse calling a HM a twat couldn't cause offence to a forum member really, constantly making weight jibes could imo, it's just childish and pathetic

[Roy Mars III]

it is just immature. I expect that stuff out of my 12 year old brother not supposed adults (or young adults)

[Niamh.]

All housemates get called names on here I don't see why fat is the only one made an issue of :shrug:

I think it's more mocking a persons physical appearance tbh. Hate that s**t

[CaudleHalbard]

One suspects if they were well-liked there would not be references to their weight.

[Jake.]

One suspects if they were well-liked there would not be references to their weight.

Then that's even more pathetic. Disliking a HM and therefore using their weight against them?

[Novo]

i find the reactions from people who find it offending more funny then the actual fat jokes themselves

[CaudleHalbard]

Then that's even more pathetic. Disliking a HM and therefore using their weight against them?

It happens. That's life.

Also, being fat is - to a large degree - a lifestyle choice. It is not the same as being black or deaf.

[Jake.]

Also, being fat is - to a large degree - a lifestyle choice. It is not the same as being black or deaf.

And? Why does there have to be constant jokes about it from the same members? It's just immature and says far more about those doing it imo

[LikeABoatOnWater]

can't stand those fat ****s. sorry.

[Kazanne]

I also find the calling of Callum a creepster rather childish,especially considering the housemate they are supporting.

[Jake.]

can't stand those fat ****s. sorry.

Because that was needed

[CaudleHalbard]

Fatward seems reasonable, considering they aim to be an outsize version of Jedward. :)

[Kate!]

BecUse calling a HM a twat couldn't cause offence to a forum member really, constantly making weight jibes could imo, it's just childish and pathetic

perfectly said Jake.

Was the same with Becky last year, she was highly disliked as are the twins, but a lot of people constantly banged on about her appearance, when for me I disliked her intensely because she was a horrible person, apart from her being so big, she was actually quite pretty tbf, but she was ugly on the inside and it showed.

Back to the twins, they aren't nice people either, they have massive chips on their shoulders, think they are entitled to the win, and are so staged in all that they do, I cringe. That's why I don't like them. Whiny little rats.

[smeagol]

fat jokes apply to the people. i,e wolfy was disgusting in so many ways.she started the whole fat thing herself

i find threads calling hazel a slut more offensive and as for the jacky stuff well dont get me started

if the twins weren't so greedy and self centered bitch spiteful and just plain awful i doubt people would mention their weight. their weight is a lot to do with why they are like they are, and a lot to do with why they are even in bb
sophie dont get called fat jokes and she isn't exactly a stick insect says a lot

[Jake.]

How would Sophie being insulted on her weight even make sense? Or do you have to be rake thin with nothing on you what so ever nowadays if you don't want your appearence to be questioned?

[-Sue-]

If all people have to judge a person on is by how they look then that is sad.. so much more to a person than how they look! OK so we all moan and groan as the model types wander in at start of every season in anything short & tight boobs so high up if it was winter they would be earmuffs.. but we give them a chance..and see how their personality does / does not shine through.. to be this far in and as usual the forum.. 'fatty bashing' is no surprise just makes me sad that people consider it a reason to dislike someone.. cuddly people can diet (if they want to)..ignorance lasts forever!

Noone would walk into a bookshop and buy a book because they like the cover.. they would want to find out what its all about too! -never judge a book by its cover (and all that)

[smeagol]

a cover says a lot actually. if the cover of a book looks like poo its pretty certain that inside is going to stink as well lol

[-Sue-]

IMO beauty isnt about having a skinny body or a perfect figure - how they treat others is far more important than how they look!

What does that mean, Everyone who is slightly overweight is a sh*t person?

Its not nice, no, but whats even worse is that their parents seem to be fairly normal sized, if a bit chubby, so they obviously dont let themselves get obese but they let their kids get like that, I find that shocking, its a form of child abuse to let these boys get so fat when its so bad for their health

Would their parents have given them a fag when they were teenagers, probably not, but they seem to have given in to everything they want food wise and they seem to view exercise as something 'other people do'

Shocking

[smeagol]

What does that mean, Everyone who is slightly overweight is a sh*t person?

how did you leap to that from a book joke lol

[Miranda123]

Its not nice to have a go at people for whatever their differences are but your last statement, is UNTRUE. Why would publishers pay thousands for bookcover artwork if the cover made no difference to buyers, the covers are very important to a lot of people, whether they be plain covers with stark colours or beautiful illustrations

Having said that, the problem I have with the boys is that they dont seem to care that they have all that weight, and rather than seeing the BB basic shopping list as a chance for them to lose some, they have moaned all the way through about not having enough to eat
They have both lost weight on the show, you can see that when they show their original pics but I think that once they get out, it will be back to stuffing their faces sitting at home and will be a major drain on the NHS for the rest of their (short) lives if they dont wake up and smell the diet supplements

Not saying its easy, Im on a diet myself right now and its difficult but if you want to be healthy, then you need to watch your weight, whether you are too fat OR too skinny

Not healthy to be too much of either

[CaudleHalbard]

Surely it's just as unacceptable, perhaps more so, to call Jackie old and a hag?

[arista]

I hate them
they are taking up space
blocking others.

[Kizzy]

how did you leap to that from a book joke lol

Ah... you literally meant a book?
Thought you were using a book as a metaphor.
Still don't agree.

[arista]

Jackie The hag

Yes she is a bit



But get those twins Out first

[smeagol]

Ah... you literally meant a book?

nah too deep for me lol just a silly book joke. a sort of yes you sometimes can actully judge a book by its cover.

[Kizzy]

Surely it's just as unacceptable, perhaps more so, to call Jackie old and a hag?

Or to call hazel abusive and manipulative?

[Kizzy]

nah too deep for me lol just a silly book joke. a sort of yes you sometimes can actully judge a book by its cover.

The general consensus is you can't... but haha good joke :)

[Fosse]

Well, they are fat, so fat I shall call them.

Where would you draw the line? Jackie isn't really old? Or is my calling Dan shrewd offensive to those who are less shrewd?

[-Sue-]

never judge a book by its cover = "you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone" just saying

[CaudleHalbard]

Jackie is a middle-aged dance teacher.... hardly old. Yes her face is a bit haggard but that's how Charlie will look in a few years time! ;)

[Josy]

It's not even people calling them fat that I find immature because they are fat, it's the childish insults some throw out like humpty dumpty and the obese twins etc why not just use the names? everyone knows they are overweight?

Also people using really OTT insults or referring to housemates as It, Thing etc really grates on me because it just seems to be a level of hatred too far for someone on a reality tv show IMO.

[CaudleHalbard]

Well it's only an internet forum. We wouldn't say things like that to their faces! ;)

[Fosse]

I suppose that Sophie isn't really 'thick', also. ;)

[CaudleHalbard]

I suppose that Sophie isn't really 'thick', also. ;)

No she is thick, but not by the standards of Daily Star readers! ;)

[Verbal]

I agree totally

Meanwhile, in other news, did that person who was poking fun at deaf people last night get banned?

[King Gizzard]

This, quite embarrassing most of the time

[Fish_Fingers]

If being called fat is the worst thing that happens to an overweight person, then they're doing pretty well in life. Some people have real problems, this kind of issue really needs some perspective.

[Miranda123]

Or to call hazel abusive and manipulative?

Its different if its fact and that is definetly a FACT

[Miranda123]

never judge a book by its cover = "you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone" just saying

Im judging their judgement lol

by the way, the whole reason for Forums, is that sad people like us can judge others vicariously

didnt you know that

This this this. Especially the bolded bit.

mmmhhmmm I hate women being labelled *****s or sluts as well, I just hate those terms in general so derogatory and sexist

[Kizzy]

People who label members *******s for calling people fat :joker:

*******s is one of the worst swear words, i hate it

[Chuckyegg]

I've been shocked about it for weeks.

[Jack_]

*******s is one of the worst swear words, i hate it

It is the best one :nono:

Anyway on topic I do find the fat insults a bit OTT, the odd joke is fine but the incessant name calling in every post is a little tiresome. I mean I'm not their biggest fan but it's just a bit pathetic really

[kate2013]

People do make jugdement calls by looks especially when that persons behaviour treads over their boundary or annoys them. Firetwilight just said we all moan and groan when the model types with the high boobs come in. That there is a judgement.

Its instinctual. Im slim and one side of my family are overweight yet Ive never crossed the boundary of calling them fat, yet theyve called me skinny bitch. I have faced more jibes from overweight people. They appear to make more of an issue out of it.

Its instinctual to look at a fat person and think their greedy. Their gonna eat all the food and leave us little. Just as we look at model types with big boobs and think theirs not much going in upstairs because theres jobs are usually based on what they look like which in public opinion is superficial.

I've got nothing against an overweight person until I sit next to one on the bus or areoplane because then they cross my boundary they steal half of the seat Ive paid for. That said I dont think that all people would choose to be fat, some have chemical imbalances in their brain which fail to tell them when their stomachs full, or have emotional problems. But in the immediate term that doesnt stop their ass taking up your seat.

A woman use to go for a muscle bound larger built guy because instinctively she feels he will protect her and her kin. Now society is leaning towards brains being more important because they will hold down a better paying job, whuch is more important now that men are not clubbing eachother over the head (well except for Friday and Saturday nights).

But as Ive said the fat issue specifically comes from the brain registering that, that person must be greedy or lazy, its a survival instinct. Other name calling has come about from advertising culture of how people should fit a certain type.

Am I guilty of it, yes if someone cuts me up in my car I'll call them an idiot why because their behaviour is idiotic.

The twins admit there lazy, and use their weight as entertainment (belly dancing). As for Hazel being manipulative , yes she is, most HM's are or theres no point being on the show. If people are going to get offended by the comments people make on here about housemates theres nothing we can do about it. But there not personal to you they are about housemates. Is that not what the forum is for?

[armand.kay]

I think if you come for gina's weave you should go to hell tbh.

[JTM45]

They don't really help themselves do they!

Anyone who revels in coming out in a sweat from eating too much meat clearly has an eating problem!

Fatty, Mc.Fat Fats, the pair of them!:laugh:

[kate2013]

Lol! eww yeah meat sweats

[armand.kay]

and can we stop calling housemates 'vile'

[Kizzy]

It is the best one :nono:

Anyway on topic I do find the fat insults a bit OTT, the odd joke is fine but the incessant name calling in every post is a little tiresome. I mean I'm not their biggest fan but it's just a bit pathetic really

Yes, when every person on this forum stops with their double standards it will truly be a great day...

[kate2013]

I like Ginas weave it reminds me of my sisters pomeranian.

[CaudleHalbard]

I like Ginas weave it reminds me of my sisters pomeranian.

Ah yes, I knew it reminded me of an animal of some sort! :D

Presumably Gina thinks it enhances her appearance.

[Kizzy]

What the hell are meat sweats? :conf:

[armand.kay]

Gina's weave is like beyonce's tbh.

[Withano]

Perfect thread. It bothers me too.

[arista]

The twins work as Checkout
at a supermarket.


Not good they are sitting down all the time

[kate2013]

Didnt Sophie say Wolfy never washed her nether regions, maybe thats because she likes the smell of fish.

[kate2013]

Meat sweats and fish, lucky that bedroom has air conditioning

[kate2013]

If you went into the BB house whos bed would you choose to sleep in?

[Sophiee]

I don't think it'd be such an issue if they didn't moan about food as much.

[kate2013]

The only time Ive seen them run is when its delivered.

[joeysteele]

It is the best one :nono:

I was going to make a comment on this but you have said much as to what I would have and far more briefly too than I would.
Totally agree.

[smudgie]

What the hell are meat sweats? :conf:

The twins sex life I think....seems to what turns them on.

[KingOfTheMods]

I can't help it. I dislike them because of their personalities for the most part, but their fatness just adds to how much they annoy me. I wish I had a rational explanation for it.

[CaudleHalbard]

Self-indulgent? Lacking in self-control?

I guess, rightly or wrongly, their size might broadcast a signal in some people's eyes.....

[Apple202]

because if you're fat then it most likely means you don't care about your appearance or your health so it just makes them even worse than they already are lol

[Cherie]

BecUse calling a HM a twat couldn't cause offence to a forum member really, constantly making weight jibes could imo, it's just childish and pathetic

You do realise that Twat is a very offensive word and means a different thing in the North of England than it does in the South, so yes Twat could be considered very offensive by some.

At the end of the day if you are going down the route of what is offensive, then calling HMs "It" and "Munter" and various other unsavory names is just as offenisve as weight jibes.

[Black Dagger]

People who label members *******s for calling people fat :joker:

If the shoe fits for those two members. :pipe:

[Kizzy]

If the shoe fits for those two members. :pipe:

So you commented on a thread about insulting people as a way to indirectly insult people..... ok.

[Black Dagger]

This whole thread is singling out how pathetic members are at calling people fat so... erm yeah.

[Niamh.]

Think this has run it's course now.
