Ignorance toward fat people

56% Normal
20 Comments

I get annoyed at people who are ignorant about things, specifically people who are over weight. Everyone assumes that these people 'choose' to live this way. When they don't, you don't know them. I don't like people judging people that they don't know and don't know how much they've suffered. It annoys me to see people saying 'Fat people should go to the gym' well how do you know they don't? How do you know they haven't been working on their weight for the past 2 years and have lost 100lbs. You don't, you don't know.

Is it normal to get pissed off/annoyed with people who make ignorant/snap judgements about people they don't know (specifically big people, but it annoys me in other situations aswell, but this is the most common)?

    Ok well 60-70 years ago it was a thought that all black people should be exiled too. Now we look back at that and see how ignorant that thought was. Its so funny how its socially acceptable to make fun of someone big, but to make fun of someones color or disability is wrong. Whats good for the pot is good for the kettle. Just saying. Learn to respect each other not tear each other down!

    All-in-all, there is NO excuse to let yourself get to 300 pounds. You may have to work harder and eat less, but it's possible to not be a gross fat ass.

    And I think those scooters in the stores should be banned from fat people. They need the exercise.

      what about getting lung cancer and being in a wheel chair and having to go through cemo? Is that a good enough 'excuse' for you?

        You can still eat less.... Even if you can't exercise, you can always change your calorie intake. When I was ill and had to stay in bed, and couldn't work out, I just cut my calories and still lost weight. Seriously, weightloss not as traumatic experience as people tend to think.

          People that go through cemo aren't gaining fat because of the way they eat they are swelling and it is not there fault they are getting bigger, just like it isn't there fault they lose there hair.

            I understand about swelling, I've met chemo patients and had friends who have gone through it, and yeah, they do swell up a bit and have gained some weight. But I have never met one that gained 200 pounds and became morbidly obese from their treatment.

              no, no one who has had cemo is normally morbidly obese. Most are around 200lbs(ish) depending on hight. But people still judge them one of my cousins died 5 month ago she had cancer when she was 12 and swelled and she would barley eat anything and what she did eat she would through up. She always told me she felt unconfortable eating out in public because she felt like people would judge her for the things she ate because she was bigger, even though she barley ate anything. I guess that's why I really hate people who judge people and don't know the situation there in because she looked like a normal girl, she didn't lose her hair or anything she looked 'Overweight' but she wasn't it was from swelling.

    lol, It was just a figure of speech; I don't ask people to sit on them.

    I'm just saying that it's none of nobody's concern. I'm fat and that's what's that.

    If you scratch beneath the surface, it always comes down to the same things. People might act as if they are concerned about someone's weight, but really they're just offended and confused because someone is "breaking the rules" and not complying with the worldview put forward by Vogue, films, and television. It's a hugely ignorant viewpoint.

    You'll sometimes get the "they're costing the healthcare system money" argument too. So are professional sportsmen who are regularly injured but nobody has a go at them, do they?

    Being overweight (or having ginger hair) seem to be the last two things people feel justified in discriminating against. It's no better than racism.

      So your saying fat people should starve themselves? I thought anorexia could kill you? Fat people are normal people they just have some extra weight on them. You don't know them you don't know why they have that weight on them you don't know if they have been dieting for 3 years now or if they have an illness that has made them gain weigh. See this is what I don't understand I don't understand how people are so disgusted by fat people like they are some kind of verman. You have know clue what they have gone through and if they have staved them selve or if they hate themselves or if they have cancer. I had a friend she died at 16 and she had cancer and she got it when she was 12 and for the longest time she tried to hide it from people and she got bullied for gaining weight. She couldn't hide it for long because her hair started to fall out, I hope those people felt ashamed. People are so damn judgemental!
