Same. I saw the 'Satanists offering support' headline and went looking for that particular story, but nothing comes up anywhere about them beating anybody. And if they did then they're not Satanists.

You. Chill. Everybody understands that obesity is unhealthy. Nothing in this image says it isn't. What this image does say is "it's honestly none of your fucking business if somebody is happy the way they are regardless of the effects of their lifestyle on themselves." Fat is unhealthy. No shit. So is smoking, and drinking in excess. Guess what? Smokers, drinkers, and yes, even fat people, could not give any less of a shit about your weird issues with other peoples' bodies. If you don't like fat, don't be fat. It's not complicated. It does not require a screeching tirade because you desire to control whether other people are allowed to be emotionally okay if they don't fit your standard. They have their own standard. Whether it's high or low compared to yours is none of your business. It has nothing to do with romanticizing "fat" and everything to do with people being allowed to simply go through life being content if they so choose without being harassed. Take a pill.

"I'm a woman/minority/insert qualifier that I think somehow makes my point more valid here" does not magically make you able to speak for all members of a group. Nobody cares what junk you have, people need to stop starting comments with that. That being said, the post makes a valid point on the ability of an inebriated person to consent, BUT is worded very similarly to the "what do you think of THAT, feminists?" posts, and I can see how it might turn some off to reasonable discussion.

Except the declarations of southern states attempting the secession that began the war explicitly mention the states being allowed to own slaves as the divisive issue. The big thing about the Confederate flage today is that white southerners view it as a symbol of history, which it is, and black Americans see it as a symbol of slavery, which it ALSO is. Like many aspects of history, it has a double narrative that means different things to different people. The huge issue is that the flag is plastered literally everywhere in the south, has been hijacked by hate groups, and is viciously protected by much of the older white south who understandably wants to have a heritage to protect. They see the removal of the flag as a disrespect to the thousands of Americans that died fighting amongst ourselves, while black Americans see it as a symbol of the millions of slaves that died and of the modern active hate groups. Many whites swear this doesn't exist.
