    Just because someone is overweight, doesn’t give you the right to be a cunt to them. Overweight people know they are overweight. No need to make fun of them. It makes you an asshole.

      No, its people being overweight AND ignorant that this meme is pointing out. People who are in total denial that losing weight will alleviate many health issues and prevent further complications to ones that can’t actually be helped.

      Stop crying over a simple sponge bob meme. This is your life and your health. Do something about it instead of coming up with silly words like fatphobia to make yourself feel better.

      Do you live under a rock… Because you’re in denial, just like so many who are denying they’re morbidly obese. And despite warnings of health problems and risks… The obesity problem keeps rising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States#%3A~%3Atext%3DThe_obesity_rate_has_steadily%2C17%25_of_children_were_obese.?wprov=sfla1

      I’m not saying insulting is the right approach. But clearly this pro-obese movement people have been pushing is just as wrong.

        Yes it is harmful to the people themselves. Then help them with kindness. Not by shitting on them and bullying and offending them. A lot of people are overweight because they are depressed. And just because there are a few people that think its healthy, doesn’t mean they all should be made fun of. Talk to those specific people directly instead of being a bully towards everyone.

        I don’t see people being hateful like this towards people smoking.

        Don’t be a dick. Its not that hard.
