Why is hate against overweight people...
 

not considered the same as homophobia or racism?

Why is it allowed on these forums, indeed why is it added to by mods themselves?

I suggest all kinds of blanket hate should be treated the same and policed here accordingly.

Ethnic minorities can't change their skin colour and gay people can't change their sexuality.

Fat people can lose weight. :-/

Disliking an overweight person is not the same as being racist or homophobic 0_o

This


Although I don't think it's fair people are stigmatized (I think thats the right word :p) because of their weight

Fat people are just lazy and greedy.

Back. away. from. the . cake.

I agree blanket hate should be frowned upon on this and all other internet sites.

Oh except for fat, ginger people they really are a special case.

Why? It can be just as hurtful to an overweight person

So...saying say 'I hate dave, he has a humongous nose' is the same as saying 'get mario out, stupid batty boy'

I'm just using it as an example.

If you cant say anything about someones size, then surely noone should be allowed to post anything negative about any aspect of someones looks...yes?



Plus, being overweight is a bit different to being gay/ethnic. You CAN change it if you want to. Go on a diet and do exercise.

I really do not think saying someone is fat is anything like homophobia or racism.

Good point, can't really argue with that

Fat people are so annoying because half the time the majority of them actually complain they're fat yet choose to do **** all about it.

People can't help it if they're black or white and it's not really a problem, or if they're gay etc.

Not all fat people can change, some have genetic preconditions, some have hormonal problems, thyroid problems. And some are just greedy twats.

Fair enough, but same with ugly people. They cant change unless they can afford surgery. yet people have no problem with others saying so and so is ugly.

And I mean 'conventionally ugly'..if that makes sense. Im not shallow enough to take everything on looks alone ;)

Thats very true Vicky, however dont you think all fat ginger people should be put into fat camps where their hair is dyed while they are forced to lose weight?

:laugh: Not really...

Ah ok, didnt realise you backed enforced euthenasia of ugly fat ginger people. That will save the taxpayer a bit of money, Fair point. Gets my vote:wink:

I generally don't mind people who are not stick thin. I do mind people who are severely overweight/obese, then having many people tell them this is great, normal and what people should look up to. No, it's unhealthy.

I don't judge people for what they weigh, I judge those who say it's good to look like that. It's disturbing, as they don't live a healthy lifestyle, and will come across medical problems in the future.

I find a lot of people beautiful. You don't have to be size 0 or a size 18. Both extremes are bad. Oh, and I despise people who think naturally high-metabolism/"skinny" people have something wrong with them, when they have perfectly balanced diets.

Oh, and just to point it out (natrual) skin and hair colors, as well as sexualities don't affect your health. extreme weight does.

I am a fat ginger so I must be extra special. :(

You are, you are! :pat:

Window licking special?
