Interestingly, someone pointed this out to me yesterday...

(Possibly NSFW, depending on how draconian your workplace is.)

QuoteSure, a six-pack may be nice to look at, but maintaing one is another story. It requires regular abdominal exercises which — let's be honest — nobody wants to deal with. Anyone who says they love doing crunches is lying.

I regularly hang out with dozens of people who do rotational crunches as part of their hobby. The ones who are really into it all have six packs so, yeah, I call bullshit  :argh!:

uhhh, Not sure I wanted to click that at work.

Sorry about that.  I realized as I posted that I should probably have tagged that, so I went back and updated it.

Too late, unfortunately.

I'm a little weary of advocacy.

I've had it up to my bottom lip with hearing about this shit.

Yeah, but like me, how much can you actually put yourself there? I am in a perpetual stage of SHUT UP SHUT UP SERIOUSLY ARE YOU EVEN STILL TALKING MY DOG IS DRUNK SHUT UP.

Dunno.  Rant to follow.

Okay, I'd like to address a few things.

First, a long time ago, a guy known here as "Corbet E Renaurd" managed to more or less single-handedly end the great privilege fiasco by actually EXPLAINING what privilege meant, in terms that anyone could understand (even cavemen such as myself).  He said something like:

QuotePrivilige is something that happens to you, not something you do.

This of course means that if you earned it or did something, it wasn't privilege.  An olympic gold medalist figure skater is not operating on privilege, but rather a lifetime of hard work.

Now, I've been to the poisonous fucking cesspool "this is thin privilege" over on tumblr, and there's a few things worth mentioning.

1.  "Thin privilege" does not fucking exist.  Fat shaming exists, but thin privilege does not.  This is because, with very few exceptions, people who are thin or fat are that way based on things they do or do not do. 

2.  Said tumblr is a collection of whinging fucks.  The place is toxic as hell.  There is nothing of redeeming value there, and nobody there - so far - has had a fucking thing to say other than some absolute BULLSHIT about being overweight not being a health issue.  Anyone who says that carrying around an unnecessary 50+ pounds isn't going to fuck up your back, hips, knees, ankles, and feet is a FUCKING RETARD...Not to mention all the fun stuff that happens with an enlarged heart and/or high blood pressure.  What you have at that particular "Cause" is a pile of self-indulgent shit heads who insist on screeching that the world isn't how it is, it's how they'd LIKE it to be.  In other words, DUMBFUCKS.

3.  Said tumblr is also a fart blanket of the FIRST FUCKING ORDER.  Anyone wants to crawl under it, I ain't here to stop you.  But I will say that I don't have much use for fart-huffers.  I am unsure if I am alone in this.  We already HAD a fucking Garbo.  Shit, that goes for the whole fucking site, excepting the goofballs that are just there to post hilarious pics.

4.  Implying that parents are evil and wrong or just bad parents because they would rather their children aren't fat is the GODDAMN STUPIDEST FUCKING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD ON THIS GODDAMN BOARD, and it's INSULTING AS HELL as well as being FUCKING WRONG-HEADED, and "I wasn't talking about you" DOESN'T CUT THE FUCKING MUSTARD.  Teaching your kid that being overweight is just as "valid" as being is shape is BAD PARENTING.  Whether or not the kid listens is on the kid.

5.  This bears repeating:  THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT CHANGE ITS RULES BECAUSE SOME WHINGING FUCKWAD - ON TUMBLR OR ELSEWHERE - DOES NOT LIKE THOSE RULES.  Doesn't matter if they're claiming that being overweight is healthy (dumbasses) or if they're claiming that the big bang isn't a thing because Jesus.

Also, the very IDEA that thin is a privilege in a world full of hungry people is fucking hilarious.  Bowel-voiding, scream your spleen out hilarious.

FUCK YEAH.

You would think there was no such thing as food insecurity here.

Anyway, I'm about out of patience for the month so I probably won't be around much for a while.

I just have this horrible fucking premonition.

If PD goes down this road again, I'm taking some fucking time off.  Seriously.  I can't tolerate another August 2012.  Mostly because it makes me not want to give a fuck about ANYONE'S problems.
Seconded, though i would wish there was a combination word for weary and horrible.

That being said, I don't think Alty has a bad perspective.
Being (fat-)shamed is worse than being fat. Yes, being fat is likely to be bad for your health (notice the word likely there? it is important), being shamed is always bad for your health.
Let's not polarize here, we should be able to agree that, all other factors being the same, being fatter than average is bad for you. Hell, in our current culture, being averagely fat isn't actually all that healthy either. Statistics are fun that way.
There are many other things that are worse, of course: Alcohol, smoking, stress, bad diets, bad genes, adrenalin addiction, etcetera.
Too fat is bad, too thin is bad, shamed is bad(did you notice the lack of 'too'?), and POLARISATION IS BAD.
All of you should start to consider the position of your partners in this discussion. Apparantly i need to explain here that in a discussion you have partners, not adversaries. Nigel has a kid with weight issues (first i heard about it, but good luck with that Nigel and Nigel-spawn.) and Alty-GF regularly gets fat-shamed. Both are fookin horrible and we as a community should be nicer about that kind of shit.
I know, i'm a dick and I shouldn't lecture others on niceness... no FUCK that, you assholes better behave or i will hunt you all down and lick you in uncomfortable ways!

There is no excuse for shaming people unless the shaming has to do with an unethical or dishonorable action on their part.  For example, I'm fine with shaming a person who rips off the elderly.

"Fat-shaming", "slut-shaming", etc are all inexcusable.  No exceptions.

However, this doesn't change the fact that being overweight IS a health risk, nor does it change the fact that tumblr is a toxic fucking pesthaus.
