´Tis be true, swolestation is a serious problem.
Too many swole bros have been ridiculed or seen as mere pieces of meat to be devoured, its swolism, thats what it is.
My Johnson suffers discrimination due to swolism.
I deserve a trophy.

Obama’s EEOC decided that fat people who are fat without an underlying disability are “disabled” under the ADA, and thus you have to make “reasonable accomodations” for their fat asses.

so much face palm i gave myself a concussion.
If someone wants to be a disgusting fat fuck, go right ahead, it’s still a free country. Just dont bitch about it.
From the comments:
“The First Lady will not declare a campaign to prevent children from growing up to look like you.”
Holy shit that is just great.

Shoes (all custom) were a major budget item when growing up.
I didn’t bitch about manufactureres not making freak-show tall clothes. I am well aware I am a freak show and well aware it is my job to fit into society.
I didn’t bitch about “normal height” privilege or the stupid jokes about “the weather up there” or the fact I can’t fit into basically any car, let alone an airline seat.
I didn’t bitch about getting a waiver to join the the 5th Group (because i am too fucking tall) or the fact my kevlar basically covered about 2/3 of what it was supposed to cover, leaving me exposed to enemy fire. I just fucking bought my own kevlar, cut the vest and stuck the rest on the bottom with duct tape.
Now, there is not a damn thing I could do to stop growing.
99.99% of fat people just need to put the fucking fork down. It’s in their control.[/quote]
Are most people terrified of you in real life?
I’m 5’2" and I met a 6’8" guy once and I felt like I was looking up a tree. I had to crank my head back so far I almost fell over.
If he killed and skinned me, he might be able to make a pair of underwear.

Does your junk also feel ashamed of being so damn bulky do to rampant swoleism?
If so, we have ourselves a duel purpose club.

Amen.

Meh. My dad was obese but not only was a workaholic, but built a very successful business, threw around machine parts that most average men would kill themselves lifting and could probably have crushed you with his bare hands 
KFC + workaholic = no time for exercise and a very big ass

as someone studying genetics and biochemistry
the claim that all these people can’t lose weight because of reasons out of their control is absolute fucking bullshit.
You do not watch your dick disappear in fat rolls because of genetics, the amount of people who have no control over their situation accounts for < 0.00001% of the population. It is pure and utter laziness.
I was fat and now I’m less fat, definitely not obese, the only reason i was ever that fat was because i was lazy. I have hashimoto’s and celiac so no don’t tell me it’s a disease beyond my control.

Why would a happy healthy individual be compelled to make a nasty comment either way?

Outside of ignorant people, most of the list in the OP isn’t that though.
The cloths size thing for example, isn’t treating people like shit. Not at all.
Again, no one should be acting like an asshole and going out of their way to yell at people from across the parking lot, or give advice without being asked, but the whole idea of “thin privilege” is redonk.
This one time, I was standing outside the bar with my girl at at the time, and some dude yelled out “fuck her, I did”. Single privilege, evil evil single privilege.
Fat shaming could work guys

Because its completely normal to feel revulsion towards something so unnatural. Even many fat people feel that way towards other fatties.
I’m talking about very fat people (35%+ bf).

I’m happy, to my knowledge I’m healthy, and people very close to me would be considered obese.
But I’ve also got a sense of humor, and sometimes fat jokes (in a general sense) are very funny. Mean spirited comments towards a specific individual are generally not funny and the person responsible just plain wasn’t raised right.
Context is everything, IMO.
Edit - I just realized context can make the comment I am referring to cease to be a “nasty” comment, and thus, fall out of scope.
So no, I do not like nasty comments either way.

same thing here.
just replace “built a very successful business” by “saved thousands of lives during his medical career”.
