Dude, while I agree with some of this, sometimes, when that fat chick falls on her ass in the middle of the ice cream aisle and gets Ding Dongs smashed into her ample backside, you just fucking laugh.
Cruelty would be setting her up to fall, photographing it and then posting it on the internet.
I didn’t make her fall…I just watched.
Why do you care so much that people are fat (thin, skinny-fat, ripped, hyooge)? How do body composition or personal fitness habits justify turning what would already be a painful and embarrassing experience for someone into an absolute, never-to-be-forgotten nightmare?
OK, Emily, clearly you have NEVER laughed at anyone who had some minor unfortunate accident. I am sorry many of us are beneath you but the size of the individual isn’t even the issue. In the scenario you quoted, you could easily make it anyone and unless they actually harmed themselves, it would still be a little funny.
I am not for the beating she seems to be taking at this point and some of those comments are reaching the point of just being evil. However, I am not going to act like some of that wasn’t funny.
If you saw an obese man in a speedo getting this kind of flack, would you be so emotional about it?
Tell the truth, E.
In the scenario I quoted the size of the woman was the ENTIRE issue. The funny part would be that she (a fat chick) fell in the middle of the ice cream aisle and smashed a Ding Dong into her fat ass. A fit man publicly laughing at a fat woman who falls down in such circumstances would create hurt for her whatever the physical result.
As for the obese guy in a Speedo…I’d rather not be subjected to it, of course, but I’m free to ignore him, as I ignore the other fifty things I encounter on any given day that I prefer not to look at. What do I care if some out of shape guy feels happy about himself (or anything else)?
When I laugh at people (and I do) they are generally people I admire, who can handle being poked fun at. Exceptions to this are bullies and celebrities. Although there is a point at which things cease to be funny for me, I figure celebrities are well paid for putting themselves in the spotlight, so they get what they get.
Which is why I haven’t commented on the girl in the OP’s post. I fervently hope that those pics don’t represent an overwhelming betrayal on the part of a boyfriend, but assuming they don’t and she’s gone public willingly, she gets what she gets (and yes, I found some of the comments funny). Same with those grotesque fat pics people sometimes post. They appear posed, so although they make me sad (why? why would someone degrade herself like that??) I don’t nag people to be sensitive.
But some woman eating ice cream? Dude. Get control of YOUR issues and let her live a happy life.
She wasn’t eating ice cream. She was slipping and falling next to ice cream and then landing in cream filled goo.[/quote]
I laugh at fat women eating fat free frozen yogurt, because hey, that IS funny.
