      You didn’t get any replies yet you decided to edit your comment to argue with an imaginary opponent. Mate, take a breath.

        37 downvotes, yet no one brave enough to put their neck on the line and offer a counterpoint. So yh, I made an assumption and yet still no one has made a counterpoint which means I’m probably right 🤷🏼‍♂️

          I’ll reply: no one is offering a retort because your comment is weird, pointless, and not worth the time or effort to give a genuine response to. Your edit makes it even more obvious that you just wanted to stir shit and get in bad faith arguments over a silly picture

          If you want to write edgy replies, you have to expect some downvotes. I think that attempts to normalize toxicity and trolling online are absolutely terrible. I know I have to accept that some people are provocateurs, but I don’t have to accept excuses for their poor behavior.

      anything that attempts to normalise obesity is absolutely terrible

      Boy have you missed the boat on that one. By several decades.

      You do have to accept that you sometimes have bad takes like errybody else, and this is one of them.

      It’s not because you made a bad joke, its because you lack the emotional intelligence necessary to ask some things:

      • The likely continuous comments on her figure that caused her to wear this retort

      • The fact that if you werent gonna make a comment to her shes not talking to you

      These 2 things are often conflated in folks who haven’t trained their empathy up, and i suspect you feel like you took damage because even tho you’re not in the room your acting like she’s insulted you.

      I know I have to accept that some people are fat

      You don’t, you have to accept your humanity, which means you’re the same ugly mess of hair and stink and poo as the rest of us. Somebody thinks you’re ugly. Someone out there thinks you’re a piece of shit. I think you’re just young. You need to understand your place, and you straight up fuckin’ dont.

      To be a bit unfair youre probably a little too full of yourself, you’ll get over it if you put in work.

        People seem to love to jump to this assumption without acknowledging any fallibility, when in reality you don’t know from just looking at someone. Even if it’s a likely reason, it’s not the only one. I’m going to at least hope you aren’t a doctor based on this single sentence.

          Excluding weight gain from corticosteroids or something exotic like elephantiasis, it is literally always overeating. I’m prone to it, and nobody can consider it an individual moral failing when obesity has become a massive global epidemic. But there’s genuinely no getting around the fundamental reality that it’s calories in, calories out. Apparently the majority of humans overeat when living a sedentary lifestyle with a readily available food surplus. The incredible success of GLP-1 agonists really hammers that point home if anyone was still unconvinced.

            “excluding [things I know about], it is literally always [the only other thing I know about.]” Again, I stress fallibility.

                Look, I’ve tried taking a day to reply because this comment pissed me off so much. I watched my mother count calories as a kid and it emotionally scarred me. She wasn’t suffering from the examples you gave. I don’t care to share personal details and shouldn’t have to for you to be aware you may not know everything.

      your retort sucks because you’re trying to own her by saying something she already acknowledges. weak af.

      “I’m fat because I fucked your dad”

      “oh yeah? well you’re fat!”

      “I bet you fucked my dad a lot!”

      genius insults

        Lemmy is full of socially maladapted terminally online autists who literally do not understand how humor works.
