I really am not understanding this whole insult and nastiness thing.

Because the point of this forum is to discuss housemates, the point of Big Brother is that people are willing to be seen on our screens by millions of people and be held up and judged, we're not going to make it against the rules to be nasty about housemates and only allow nice comments, that'd be ridiculous and defeat the point of the show and the forum. However we do not allow discrimination or prejudice of any kind, that includes transphobic comments which are only made to be deliberately derogatory. It is not against the rules and it is not prejudice however, to criticise someone because of their weight, not when it is something they are proud of and used to get onto the show
