    Are we seriously contriving an awkwardly constructed conversation just so we can call our hypothetical wife fat?

    This would be a disappointing attempt at humor if it were posted on facebook, surely we can do better

    Peg: “Al, does this dress make me look fat?”

    Al: “No Peg, it’s the fat that makes you look fat.”

    I thought this was funny because the “husband wolf” loves his shitty, lame joke so much, and the “wife wolf” looks exasperated with him. Fatphobia and sexism don’t even need be part of the equation. It’s okay to laugh!

        I’m fat, I’ve been trying to lose weight for a couple of months now, and I can say, being fat is not good. So yeah, lose weight everybody.

          I wish you all the best. Hopefully this post is not too abusive for you and you still have a sense of humor. Best regards

            I don’t feel abused by the post. In a fucked up way, it’s kinda funny. But that doesn’t mean it’s fine. I’ve heard much worse. Not necessarily about fat people, but other minorities. Being transgender here is impossible, for example. I have a trans friend and I have to hear my mother bitch about whatever “advantage” trans people have, but “shouldn’t”. I’m fine, but others aren’t.

            Kinda went off track there, sorry.

      It’s objectively unhealthy. Stop trying to convince others your laziness isn’t something to look down on and ride a bike

      Obesity is addiction.

      We need to stop normalizing it.

      You’re not a bad person for being fat.

      That said obesity is one of the most selfish forms of addiction given the carbon footprint it takes to become obese.

      You are not stuck in your disease, you can escape it. Do not normalize an unhealthy lifestyle because it is easier.
