What's with the fat jibes guys?
 

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.

I know, it's so shallow

I dont dislike the twins, they can be annoying

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:

Proper playground stuff

It's pathetic.

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

They describe themselves as "Fat, Funny and Friendly"

Only one of those is correct! ;)

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

Because that was needed

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

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.

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

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?

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)

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

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

how did you leap to that from a book joke lol

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

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

I hate them
they are taking up space
blocking others.

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

Jackie The hag

Yes she is a bit



But get those twins Out first

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.

Or to call hazel abusive and manipulative?

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

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?
