Accepting the condition your body is in is a whole lot different than being okay with it. Do you really think fat people aren't aware they're fat? That because they don't realize that they're fat, they stay fat? I'm not going to debate that with you because when you read it you're going to realize how stupid it sounds.
I don't know where you got the "I'm fat, but everyone else is so it's okay" thing from but it was definitely not from the news anchor.
What did the man think he would accomplish by sending that e-mail? Did he really think Jennifer was going to agree with everything he was saying and quit her job? Or try and lose 100 lbs. as fast as she could? Obviously not. So what was the point of the e-mail?
According to many of you, fat people should not be in the public's attention. The man raised a reasonable concern, in an insensitive way, and should be listened to. Okay, well, Let's dive into this some more. He says she's too fat to be on TV, some of you are kind of like, yeah. So, obese people should not be in the media. That tells me, either fat people shouldn't be seen or fat people shouldn't be successful.
Noo, you say. We just think she shouldn't influence the children.
Yeah, because when kids see a fat person they think "I want to be fat when I grow up."
Once again, nooooo, you say, but they may think it's okay to be unhealthy.
Well, I say, have you ever heard of parents? Teachers? Health class? School? Kids who have brains in their skulls? Has anyone here seen Easy A? Well, it's about Emma Stone, who's a a nice galty chick who isn't actually a a nice gal. Amanda Bynes leads of group religious pricks who decide to torment Emma Stone because she's "ungodly". See, Amanda has a good reason for being a terrible person!She doesn't want Emma Stone to influence the school with her a nice galtiness!Because it's okay to bully when you have a reason.
God isn't a good reason,you respond, /r/atheism and all that. But our country's obesity problem is a very good reason!
What are fat women in the media going to do? Really? Tell me, please, how that's a problem.
