People fat shaming/insulting Jenkin due to his weight

[Benjamin]

People shouldn’t be fat shaming him/insulting him due to his weight. Many reasons to dislike him but that shouldn’t be used as an insult. :nono:

[Jackywilsh10]

Indeed. Especially as he could be a major asset to the house. There are all sorts of things he could handily store in his fat rolls.

Sure
but I can say he is Obese

And it affects his whole Life

[AnnieK]

I agree....some of the comments have been horrible

[bots]

it's a key part of the person he is. His life is entirely centred on feeding his face. It affects all his decision making and has an influence on his interactions with other housemates. It really can't be ignored.

Guaranteed if he was a popular player everyone would be up in arms.

i've seen some very spiteful comments about Olivia too, where is the outrage there? :laugh:

[AnnieK]

People are exaggerating it though...I saw a post saying he can barely walk etc. That's just bull.

He has plenty of personality traits that can be used to beat him, he's selfish, bitchy and pretty lazy. Its just an easy insult and pretty lazy to call him fat :shrug: Just my opinion of course but its a little uncomfortable too.

The name calling of any housemates appearances is juvenile and not needed in my opinion.

Call them out on personality traits but not on their looks / appearance

[Cherie]

its horrible, I have seen him called smelly, how can anyone tell that from a screen :shrug:

[Benjamin]

i've seen some very spiteful comments about Olivia too, where is the outrage there? :laugh:

I’ve seen it mainly on here about Jenkin. But appearance in general shouldn’t be a way to insult.

[bots]

For me, there have been some very amusing comments (to me) like if it had been a bag of donuts he would have held it all night. Am i bad for finding that funny? :laugh:

[Ammi]

…it’s not something that I’ve seen said as any key part or influence, though…it’s said in a derogatory way as an unnecessary insult …and doing that can often contribute to someone’s weight issues…that can’t be ignored, either…

[Ammi]

i've seen some very spiteful comments about Olivia too, where is the outrage there? :laugh:

…I don’t know which specific comments they would be…but two wrongs would never make a right though…

[rusticgal]

Yes no need for it....we should be discussing character traits not appearance.

[MTVN]

Agree he shouldn't be getting insulted for his weight just for the sake of it but unfortunately his greed does influence his actions a lot of the time - refusing to share his birthday cake, his tantrums over the shopping list, controlling what other people take from the storeroom while often hogging things from there himself

[thesheriff443]

He’s a fat bastard, deal with it
Not only that he is a greedy spiteful fat bastard

I get that to a point, but when obesity is clearly down to gluttony I am a bit more forgiving of comments like these.

People can be big for many reasons, often beyond their control, and they should be shown kindess and respect, but laziness and gluttony are not ones that I think should be on that list.

[ebandit]

............for myself the sad thing is members calling HM's juvenile resorting to petty name calling.....
i even heard dylan called 'hopalong cassidy'

I would never talk about someone's weight. I'm not skinny myself.

[GoldHeart]

His weight is mentioned ,because this is the same man who lied about never getting any food ,and how he's " wasting away". He's a lazy slob ,and the only time he gets off his bum is to grab all the food & alcohol ,along with his mates. He didn't want Yinrun or the others having any of his birthday cake either , he's greedy & selfish. He only thinks about food & himself.

Gluttony is not a good trait .

[Babayaro.]

Agreed, it’s not nice at all to read. I will never understand the mindset someone has for them to attack another person’s appearance.

[Babayaro.]

Also, for those (correctly) calling out his greediness then that’s completely fair. Sure, call him greedy, or anything else associated with that. But when people start throwing out “fat bastard”, “obese” “vile pig” and so on, that’s when it goes into bullying territory. It’s embarrassing to read from so-called adults and in this day and age words like those can be incredibly harmful. People need to sort it out.

[Babayaro.]

Here’s hoping Jenkin’s evicted on Friday though :hee:

And from people who are only to happy to call Jenkin and his lot nasty or cruel, or bullies, it’s very hypocritical

Also yes, best case scenario

I understand and appreciate your sentiment, but in his case his obesity is a direct result of his gluttony and laziness. It is literally associated with his greed.

It's medically correct to call him obese, it's not bullying to use that term.

Like I say, my default position for big people is to treat them with kindess and respect, but in a case like his when it's clear who the person is beased on the behaviours then I am happy to talk about his weight for sure.

[Babayaro.]

I get that he is literally obese, but a lot of people on here are using that against him and it’s usually attached to a negative discussion about him

[vesavius]

To be fair, he literally has made his size his personality. It's probably impossible to talk about one and not the other.

Like I say, calling him 'greedy' is just the same as calling him a 'fat bastard'.

If he wasn't a selfish greedy lazy glutton I doubt any but the worst here would mention his weight.

[Babayaro.]

“Greedy” is not the same as “fat bastard” cmon :joker:

[vesavius]

Yes. calling an obsese person 'greedy' is just saying the same thing as calling them 'fat'.

[Babayaro.]

Yes. calling an obsese person 'greedy' is just saying the same thing as calling them 'fat'.

but calling them a fat bastard is a completely different thing. There’s a degree of aggressiveness in there, which is the uncalled for part.

[vesavius]

It is passive aggressive Vs. just aggressive, yes, but it is saying the same thing.

In the end though it's better that we don't attempt to police language of each other. If it is within the forum rules just let it pass, I guess. if it isn't, report it to be dealt with. We can always block people that we don't want to see the posts of.

[GoldHeart]

But Jenkin's entire personality revolves around being bitchy & greedy. I'm hearing how ..he talked about stealing Jordan's diet coke just to be spiteful.

Like I said it's not nice to be gluttonous.

[Will.]

His whole personality is based around greed, and he bullies others due to his food addiction so in some way he deserves to be called some names because he uses his greed and obesity to harm others.

The way he spoke to yinran was horrible and this was because he is a morbidly obese man who can’t control his food addiction.

[Will.]

The fact he wanted a whole cake to himself

[Kazanne]

One thing I hate is greed and i don't care how big Jenkin is but he is very greedy and selfish , he has done himself no favours not wanting to share his cake and I note BB didn't show that on the main show !

[Will.]

But yes it’s not nice to use fat insults towards someone in an argument or anything to do with someone’s appearance.

Although his bullying towards yinran was directly a result of greed/food so saying things like “no wonder he’s obese” seems fair enough.

Concerning when someone wants to hold onto a whole cake.

I understand things like ben and jerrys ice cream tubs or a pack of Jaffa cakes, as that is quite easy to devour in one sitting by 1 person.

But a whole large cake lol

I do enjoy an occasional tub of B&J's strawberry cheesecake, not gonna lie!

It’s so easy to finish the whole tub, I think ice cream is one of those things that is easy to keep eating

And, hey, it's just milk and strawberries... Right? :joker:

[GlitterUK]

The poor lad has been dreaming about kinder beuno's since day 1, he felt like it was Christmas and his birthday all come at once haha. I wonder how many he eats normally in a day.

[Ray.]

Yeah sometimes I read certain harsh comments about housemates and I think to myself, do you really think you're coming across better than said housemate by saying such nasty things? :laugh:

[fitz2k2]

Jenkins own crew is fat shaming him lol

exactly, over eating is as much of a mental health disorder as under eating

[thesheriff443]

Jenkin is a selfish lying thieving piece of sh1t

I don’t see anything other than greed

[GlitterUK]

Did he manage to eat it all?

[Gusto Brunt]

I used to be 22 stone so I know all about being fat! :p

But I am shocked Jenkin hasn't lost about 3 stone being in there.

He seems to be the same weight.

In fairness, for a man of his size, is 3-4 weeks going to result in that much of a noticeable reduction? Purely on sight, I mean. Also, from what I've seen, the house hasn't really been ordering that much healthy food lol.

Well he's the one that ordered 20 chicken nuggets or something

[Ray.]

Exactly right. :laugh:

[Will.]

iirc correctly Joe and jack the twins from BB14 lost loads of weight in the house

[Tizmee]

Has anyone thought that perhaps, Jenkin might have a metabolic disorder?

I have, so I know how it can mess with your weight, and the last thing I would welcome is snide remarks.

Also, why aren’t the same ilk of comments being bandied about regarding Trish’s size?
She’s hardly slim - is she?

Well, she does have a fat ass.

That’s true up to a point but Jenkin is dangerously overweight - there’s a difference


He maybe above the morbidly obese level

Funny how suddenly calling Trish "fat" is ok , but pointing out Jenkin's weight is 'fat shaming' ... hmm interesting :whistle: . I guess if a doctor told Jenkin to lose weight as he's obese and needs to improve his health , would that doctor be accused of fat shaming also lol .

She's curvy not fat, you might aswell say Henry is fat then... seen as he's got a dad bod .

Admit it, Gold. She's got the fattest ass.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I'd probably be a little attracted to Trish if I didn't find her so passive-aggressive. And bald.

I'd call Henry fat, too, btw, seeing as you bring him up. I would never call him or Trish curvy lol.

Still doesn't make her fat fat . As for Henry he's got a bit of weight but not fat fat.

Trish isn't passive aggressive, she's sick and tired of being misunderstood and constantly getting labelled "aggressive" . Just like i'm sure Noky is tired of being called "fake" all the time .

Trish is just wary of the garden gremlins.... and she has every right to be , even Yinrun doesn't trust Jenkin with his " ohh i love you" nonsense .

Why do you see someone being called fat as a negative? Do you see fat people as someone to be ashamed of?

You ladies should take it as a compliment if I said you're as beautiful as Lizzo. Because Lizzo is after all, apparently beautiful. So you couldn't be insulted. You could only take it as a compliment.

[Ray.]

I'm not saying women the size of Lizzo are attractive btw. :joker: I know beauty's in the eye of the beholder, but people who make such a song and dance about her being beautiful are lying to themselves.

[Maru]

I don't think he deserves being called malicious names, but pointing out his eating habits while behaving in a greedy manner inside a communal environment is valid. It's directly influencing his behavior in the house. I rather like Jenkin outside this aspect, but don't favor him much as an HM due to his behavior.

[Alf]

When fast food and takeaway food and supermarkets dominate the high street. Along with jobs that don't require much exercise like an office job, a tattooist, a tanning shop worker or nail bar worker (also dominating the high street). Then you're gonna get a lot of fatties.

As Frank would say

It's about time that we had some more diversity in these kind of jobs. We need more women and gays doing this kind of work. Stop leaving these jobs to the toxic masculinity to do. It's not fair. It's time to chip in.

Trish is overweight and Henry is also overweight - they maybe regarded as obese
We all saw them yesterday in those very unforgiving task suits


Jenkin is morbidly obese

Jordan is slender as is Matty

Tom average

Noky , Chanelle, Olivia and Yinrun are all great

It just shows how little you Brits know about your history. Ian Gleed and Saki were gay men who served your nation.

[Mystic Mock]

It's an easy insult to fling at him if you don't like him, because for some reason it is okay in society to still hate fat people it seems.

Now don't get me wrong I don't think it should be encouraged either like some of the Media outlets are doing, but imo I agree with you Benjamin that he shouldn't be disliked purely because of his weight.

I mean people are free to hold whatever opinions they want, but to rephrase it, I think it's poor form to dislike anyone purely because of their weight.

[Cherie]

I feel like BB were trolling us last night, showing Jenkin in a different jumper, saying he needed a shower when Chanelle put her head on him and telling Yinrun he needed to change his boxers, one in the eye for all the horrible people calling him smelly and unhygienic which is a trope often thrown at overweight people
