Default 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. :-/

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

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.

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.

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

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.
