Title: Why is it wrong to call a person fat?
Post by: pro nitrousADRL on July 10, 2010, 09:32:30 PM
why is it just soooo wrong to call a person fat? I mean you can call them smelly, buck tooth, snaggle tooth, ugly, talk about their hair, talk about clothes, lazy eye, talk about their nasty ass skin, bad breath, body odor, but heaven fucking forbid call them fat. Their little worlds come crashing down!!  Why is this??

This is the dumbest thing I've read today. Do you really call people these things? I could see making a simple observation but other than that why would you call them fat or say bad things about them? Unless it's directly bothering you, fuck off. Worry about yourself because you seem to be a fuckin asshole yourself. If they're fat great, let them be fat. It probably not hurting you.

Beign rude about other peoples problems is far worse than having that problem yourself.

It is not wrong anymore than it is to call a guy a guy (when he/she acts like one) or a cracker a cracker (when he/she acts like one)

I dont see a problem with it. Its not like they dont know it or it's a shocker to them

plus i dont see how "you're fat" is automatically an insult. Isn't it just stating the obvious? Couldnt you also say "you have blue eyes"  "you're around 5 feet 10 inches tall", etc?

I dont see the difference

as a former fat tub of shit, NOT once was I called fat, but the looks of disgust, got alot of those.

We know/knew we are fat, wtf wants to be reminded. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't call someone names, I don't live your life.

Lastly, if they say they are happy, they are LYING to themselves.

Now good point some people are Fat and know it so telling them they are fat sometimes helps their motivation to change. Now with a stupid low IQ person sometimes nothing can done so it crushes them further into a sub zero self esteem.

Well to ask further what was your breaking point was there a single determing factor? I know the physical but what was it after a month that said to you lose weight.

Why is it wrong to call a person “old”?  Certain legitimately descriptive words have become insults in our culture.  Fat is now “beefy” “big boned” “husky” “voluptuous” or “full figured.”  Old is now “mature” or “senior.”  ::)

What do you think?  Such words are not offensive when they are used by friends and supporters (though friends and supporters almost never use that kind of language).  I doubt the gays and lesbians in your own family would think kindly of you if you referred to them that way.

Most often such words are used by those seeking to cause injury and humiliation or to set themselves apart as somehow superior.  As it happens, my self-esteem is beyond the reach of such insults so I do not feel personally diminished by them, but I understand why someone else would be and to that extent I think it is unwelcome.

As an aside, a few weeks ago I got a PM from a poster here who had apparently “found Jesus” (or some other deity).  He sent me a note to apologize for all the homophobia and hateful rhetoric he has spewed in previous posts over the years.  Perhaps he had found god… maybe he was simply growing up…  maybe he realized he was, himself, gay?  Who knows?  Who cares? It’s not as if I was paying any attention to him anyway... ::)

By the way, have you figured out what to do with our life yet?
 
I dont really know what to do with my life.  I love to argue, and if I could make up my mind and set a goal I  would reach it.

I told you I was in school Bay, why do you keep bringing this up?  Why does your opinion on calling someone fat differ so much from your opinion on calling someone a homo?  Isn't either word almost always used in a hateful manor?  ???

No.  I almost never use the word “fat” (or any other word) in a hateful manner.  When I use it, I am being descriptive not insulting.  I have fat friends and I have used that word in front of them.  I have even used the word to describe myself; I have fat on my waistline that I want to get rid of.  I have a sister who is fat relatively speaking.

Hateful rhetoric is most often coming from a place of insecurity.  I don’t feel insecure so one will rarely find hateful rhetoric in my posts.

And I keep bring up your previous post because there are some dots that you have yet . . . to . . . connect.  ::)
