    I admit that I secretly am disgusted by people like this but taking their photo, or anyone’s, and putting it online to mock is fucking evil and wrong in every way.

      Is this even real? My dad is pretty dam fat and can hardly walk and when he has to pick something up, he just doesn’t. His arms look super tiny too, compared to the rest.

            How is his thought disturbing? Humans were never meant to have this much fat, so feeling disturbed by this unnatural figure is quite reasonable.

                The standard is not about being ripped, but about being healthy.

                There is absolutely no way to view this size as healthy.

          I don’t think they live for your opinion of them. Maybe get used to understanding the importance of your opinion isn’t the same to other people. Nor should it be. Not saying you can’t have an opinion. Just that that’s as far as it’s gonna go and you are gonna have to get ok with that. Or just carry it with you til one day you die and you’re still angry about it on your deathbed. Your call on how you spend your energy. Sounds sad tho. Probably sadder than what you think a person who is obese is. At least they found some happy in their food. You just sound outright fucking miserable looking for things to be miserable about and pull people into thinking your misery is super important.

            Wtf are you talking about? Nowhere does OP say he’s angry or even really bothered by it at all. He just thinks “oh ewww, that looks disgusting” and then goes about his day. What’s more disturbing is that so many people apparently seem to think that being this fat is actually something we should just accept or even celebrate.

            I feel like society should have a role in making sure people don’t ever get this fat. And not because it’s “eww” or ugly, but because it’s fucking unhealthy. Whenever I see a person like this, I feel pity. You don’t get this fat in a few months. This means years and years of bad habits, lack of access to healthy foods, maybe a terrible childhood with parents who didn’t give a shit, no assistance from the people around you who just stand by and watch it happen (or even enable it), very likely a highly fucked up self image and other issues. This is simply not healthy. It’s terrible.

            And this weird thing is happening where people can’t even say these things anymore without being attacked by people like you. I think you actually believe that OP’s opinion is the outlandish one. And that just makes me sad.

              And that’s their issues to deal with. And just as much as you think they need help, focus on your issues. Like Go to therapy and deal with your control issues you clearly are struggling with hard here with all the ‘shoulds’ you lash out for everyone else

                This is what you take away from my comment? Nobody was attacking anyone until you started berating OP for having thoughts. Do you honestly think I’m walking around calling fat people names all the time? Or that OP does that? Of course not. What we’re thinking inside our own heads does not constitute an attack.

                It’s hilarious that you think you’re on some moral high ground, implying that you never have any negative thoughts about anyone. Go stand on a lego, please.

            I think you’re more angry about it than anyone else. You have decided, based on absolutely no evidence, that somebody is angry at somebody else for being overweight, and are rushing to their defense when it isn’t even warranted.

            You’re waving your arms around in an insane manner, knocking small toddlers over left and right, and calling everyone else deranged.

      What’s the favourite Linux who want to pretend that morbid obesity isn’t an epidemic?

      Bullying is obviously not Ok, but nor is the normalisation of such an unhealthy lifestyle.

      This guy wasn’t born fat, nor did he simply wake up this way on day, it took several years of continuous terrible choices.

      If you look like a freak, you will stared at, it’s harsh but it’s true.

      It’s not nice, but pretending they don’t have an issue also doesn’t help them.

      Some people literally can’t imagine themselves through the eyes of another, they need it spelt out to them in plain English.

      I’m not saying that this makes the post OK, but there is a middle ground to find. It’s not like this guy has been fat shamed for going to the gym, trying to fix himself.

      The guy is a legit freak of nature and that’s always going to open you up to stares and photographs, that sucks, but he wasn’t born that way nor did he simply wake up like that one day and it doesn’t suck as much as normalising such an unhealthy lifestyle.
