I saw that mentioned on imgur and I thought it was a joke at first. Like how could that possibly be real?
I truly have such a hard time understanding how people can hate other people THAT much. And that goes for the million other irrational reasons why people hate other people.
To be honest, it makes as much sense as hating someone because they've got a different shade of melanin
I guess I just always hope people won't be assholes, but I've been let down a lot
The world has gone to hell in a handbasket. People suck. We need more people that are good and kind. The #givesmehope people!
ScarletCSkylaC: you and me both, kid. We need to hibernate in our world of tea, books and baby animals
eats my feelings away and busts into thin mints they have the word thin in them, it's legit.
I think the worst part is, the comments that people are making on that site are the exact comments I always fear people are making about me as I walk by
Like walking into a bar and guys yelling out "man the harpoons" as I walk by. I has stopped me from doing a lot of things in the past.
I don't let it bother me as much now, I've become a bit more confident, but that little voice in the back of your head always worries that things like that will happen
We can lose weight but they can't lose their ugly personality. What comforts me is, karma is a bitch and they'll all probably end up
Overweight with their nasty personality and lonely.
Whereas, us fluffy folk are charming, darling and fabulous! Talk to Tha hand!
i mentioned this earlier in someone's plurk regarding ppl calling Pink fat and the vile mentality and comments about how fat ppl dont deserve to live. the Holocaust revisited was mentioned.
it really makes me sick that people actually group together to hate others like this.
Wtf, ppl are calling pink fat? With what, too much muscle? Smdh
I think its one of the only legal forms of discrimination now, so its where people get all their bile out. Some times I think without something to hate some people would have nothing to live for.
People are such assholes.
If that's fat, sign me up!
I know right? That's what I said too!
that woman does so much p90x, at this point i think she could lift a truck, her body is uhmaaaaaaazing
The massive commonness of this sort of thing is why I can't go on Reddit anymore honestly. That there's so many people jumping on that trend, so many subs on that theme, that it makes me feel like that's how
everyone feels. And I know, in my head, obviously that's not the case. But to know there are so many people who HATE overweight people SO MUCH. It upsets me.
I like
ArianaSz 's fluffy animals though. I like them lots.
There are too many "humans" that think you're fat if you're not a size 0. When I was a teenager I felt like I was "too big" as a UK size 14...then I got really low and got down to a UK size 10.
I looked at photos of me as a gaunt size 10 and realised that size 14 was the right size for me. Dictating which sizes are "healthy sizes" for widely differing bodies is a load of stinky tripe.
Reddit isn't all bad, it's like any online community, some users are awesome, some are asshats, bigots, and worse, same as RL, same as SL, same as WoW and Tera lol
lylwitchsparkles: The problem with Reddit though, is that shit spills over from other subs. You think you're like....safe? And then these attitudes show up in places you felt like you could trust people and
again it starts to feel like it's everyone
I'm kind of a lurker other than using r/sl and r/secondlife, I prettymuch just go through the popular funny stuff, AMAs, and other peoples SL blog links so I don't see much evil, internet adventure is bad mmkay
I'm a big guy and I can take taunts from the best of my contemporaries. What kills me the most is the little kids who don't know better, and then are not reprimanded by their parent.
^^ Truth. Kids learn from their parents first. If your child hasn't learned kindness, tact and general good manners from you, don't be surprised if I give them a hard stare.
"She/He is only a child.." does not excuse a badly behaved child. Good discipline is an essential part of parenting! Gets Off Soap Box
I might as well comment in here and mention it. I am on there, meaning that my picture was posted on there.. but another Plurker no less. I won't say who I feel did it, here, but I will say that it's been a
thefreedomsessions: I honestly had no clue you were on there when I posted this. I wouldn't have posted about it had I known, I wouldn't want to give it any more traffic than it already has.
And I am so very sorry that it happened to you, no one ever deserves to have something like that happen to them.
ScarletCSkylaC: You have absolutely zero percent fault in what happened, Amy. I am thankful for you, and to you, for having posted this. Had you not posted this, my friend would have not skimmed the page and
recognized my photo. <3 I never would have known.
And I am the kind of person that would rather know, so that I can take care of the issue.
luciebluebird: I've never really looked at Reddit before this. I didn't know that even existed.. fat hate sites.. :/
Sadly there are far far worse.
The power of Reddit is they allow just about anything. Our power is to not give these subs views. There is a lot of good on Reddit
I looked through the site and it talked about how unhealthy it is to be fat, and they never mention that it's also VERY unhealthy to be skinny
especially if you have an eating disorder, which is much worse than being fat. I read a story where a girl who was annorexic in her youth was not 40 but had the bone structure of a 70 year old. She had to use
a walker, her life was constant medical problems. No to mention that skinny people who eat junk food can still get diabetes. My Aunt Jude got diabetes when she was young and she was sooo skinny, she couldn't
keep any weight on, so she ate tons of junk food to keep her weight as a dancer. Now she is somewhat overweight and she is way healthier, to the point where her diabetes is way under control and she does not
need insulin. I could continue sharing tons of stories here, that just because you are skinny doesn't make you healthy. I think a healthy medium is important. Not too fat, but not too skinny.
And at the same time, if that is not possible for you, that's ok. There are also people who are too skinny and self-conscious about that as well. I had a friend in high school who was a size 0 and she used to
And at the same time, if that is not possible for you, that's ok. There are also people who are too skinny and self-conscious about that as well. I had a friend in high school who was a size 0 and she used to
eat like crazy but still couldn't put on any weight. She was given the kids menu until high school (at restaurants) so I am just saying it goes both ways. Honestly, I don't care if someone thinks I'm fat.
I like myself for who I am and who cares what other people thinks. Of course, it's better to be healthy weight all that but shaming people isn't going to help, accepting people for who they are is much more
productive. In my experience, when I get down on my weight I tend to binge eat more and not exercise as much but when I feel good about myself I don't binge eat as much and feel more up to exercising.
Sorry for the many posts. I just feel very strongly after seeing that website.
