I dont get why hes getting dislikes. There actually is a lot of hate on skinny people as well as fat people. It seems like the idea has shifted to "fat people are beautiful just like everyone else and skinny people need a sandwich"
Jesus has been grumpier than me these last few days. It means you " identify" as the gender you were "assigned" at birth. The abbreviation of cisgender is often used as a jab against "traditional" people by certain members of the lgbtq community.
Hey SpecialAgentJesus - you didn't always know what that meant. Someone had to teach you. Whether it was given to you by direct interaction (as lovelytits was initiating) or whether it was left for you (google or wikipedia as u recommended), someone else taught you. Instead of acting like you have (and always have had) all knowledge and look down on others who do not possess even a small part of it, why not be the flame that light someone's path to that knowledge. Especially regarding such a misunderstood topic. A discussion on the topic could have opened up, enlightening many.
Everyone seems to be forgetting the fact that, yes being underweight is unhealthy
But being overweight is just as unhealthy
If you are striving for equality make sure that firstly you are able to treat all with equality
Yes, holy shit thank you so much. Obese people bother me just as much as skeletons. We have to remember to differentiate between obese and fat. I don't mind fat people because it's part of them. Obese people can help their mass (at least a little) so the fact that they don't bothers me immensely.
Also differentiate between people who are skinny and people who have problems. I've got a really fast metabolism and I'm super thin, but I still eat well, and it's not like I'm going out of my way to exercise a bunch. I pretty much lay in bed and eat whenever I'm not at work.
If Tumblr (or whatever platform where "outcasts" would gather) was the real world, this comment might make sense. But as all those lieblings of the internet are STILL being discriminated and dissed in the entire rest of this world, it doesn't. Or to put it with NoMeansNo: "White man, you just starting to get the blues"
13 thumbs down in 3 hrs? Must have hit a nerve ;-) - y'all welcome.

I agree that we shouldn't treat people like shit, but just to point out, some of the people mentioned were not really in the majority. (For example, there are far more non-whites than whites).
And perhaps the reason that they treat the white-straight-cis-males this way is because they were the ones giving them all the shit. While an incorrect way to deal with these feelings of anger over this crap, their struggles have failed to be portrayed as being legitimate outside of their community, so they grow resentment toward those whom look like their oppressors, the white-straight-cis-males.
