Some silly thread about fat people lacking willpower has reached 50 pages. Why is a topic that is offensive to half of Americans tolerated on Getbig? I think it is appalling and not something that can be condoned on a forum where bodybuilders post. Every one of us have started out as average or below average individuals and built our muscles up. Since we come from humble beginnings it is never acceptable to knock those who haven't built up their physiques.
I wonder why old age is considered something to laugh at by the flotsam here? If you are lucky you will one day be old and it is hardly something to laugh at.
When the stirrers exhaust all attempts at upsetting someone they post that they are pedophiles or fat or retarded or all of these things. Naturally, being gay is also disapproved of. What a sorry lot of individuals who need to resort to such name calling to make someone upset. I guess anyone who can survive the treatment here graduates to the special treatment of being called the worst names in the hope they will give up posting or meltdown.
It isn't politically correct to make jokes about colour of the skin, nationality, sexual orientation and sex. Add age and body composition and things will improve.
I know most guys come here to have a laugh when there aren't any big contests happening. I just wonder what on earth some supposedly mature guys are doing when they post day after day as Goatboy or some other anonymous handle. Do these guys get a thrill out of upsetting someone or putting shit on someone? It makes me wonder what on earth these anonymous heroes get out of participating. They have no original ideas, they are not bodybuilders and they fear being identified. Is it any wonder that these guys make a cesspool out of what could be a great forum.
A lot of guys are educated. I say guys because women don't hang around here because of the way they get treated. Not everyone here is nasty. Far from it. I can see humour in offence and stirring so that is fine. I just don't understand why the moderators tolerate threads that are worthless and offensive. If they leave these threads up what message does that give to the wannabes?
What is sad is that the issues about obesity, hunger and dieting are not at all simple or easy to reverse. Bodybuilders think obesity can be reverse engineered. Since it is not a problem for these guys they assume fat people lack willpower and are lazy to boot. There is a lot to learn about this subject, genetics and human behaviour. Knuckleheads assume they know it all but the truth is they don't even have a clue about how to get big muscles naturally.
We know what this thread will become. This place is so predictable.
