Guest Moomintroll Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I have no issue with it being pointed out he was wrong, because of course he was. But predictably some posters can’t wait to stick the boot in. I see a guy potentially struggling with something and he’s either created or been fed a false narrative to apportion blame. That doesn’t make him an arsehole. He’s put it in the unpopular opinions thread for a start. Yet some diddies can’t wait to go down the ‘incel’ route.

As I said, we all f**k up at times, best to acknowledge it & move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just to be clear, being a Tory does make you an arsehole. I know, we have already been through this. My voting intentions this time round have actually changed, due to a conversation with the current MP in this constituency. His stance on leaving the EU has been quite spectacularly misrepresented & now I have listened to his explanation I will be voting for him instead due to his excellent track record on doing his best to help his local area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think DAFC's point is that obese women saying "it's okay to be large, overweight and a burden on society" is actually wrong and people should be encouraged to live healthier lives, not be fat slappers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat shaming folk is incredibly ineffective. I reckon a very small percentage of folk react to a negative comment in a positive way. For a lot of folk (maybe most folk) it only makes them less likely to lose weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat shaming is clearly unhelpful. That doesn’t mean people should accept being fat. The reality is people need to be honest enough with themselves that they are overweight and it’s bad but measured enough to know that it’s a problem that can be solved and it isn’t the end of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression that he thought they shouldn't wear makeup or nice clothes, and either stay indoors or put a paper bag over their heads. Or maybe a burqa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can accept being fat? If they arent happy about it then yeah stop moaning and do something about it , but dosnt give people a right to slag someone off for being fat.I know I'm underweight ( under 9 n half stone ) and according to my height n weight I should be around 10 , however I am okay with my weight , I know if I want to do something about it then I will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re talking a bit chubby then yeah I agree. If we’re talking actually risk to your health levels then not so much. Ultimately though it’s up to the individual. Whether or not someone accepts their weight it’s never helpful to actively abuse someone for being fat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One post I can understand ( unpopular opinion here we are) but he carried this on to then get some digs in. He is a fanny. ( wrong thread probably a popular opinion ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I thought DAFC had a good point, that men are feeling increasingly pressured about their appearance, and shouldn't be. He also had a shit point, that women have it easier. Personally, as a fat b*****d currently losing weight I find the availability of trousers is more of a deciding factor than what other folk think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
