When you call them fat? I mean.. its not like they don't know.. True its a little mean, but its like people tip toe through the tulips with describing a fat person.
Theres a girl at my school who is 5'3'' at the most and HAS to be like 300 lbs at least and whenever I hear soeone talking about her they go "Oh yea Jenny? She has blonde hair and blue eyes... shes a little on the tubby side" I mean DUDE tubby is like... a 150 pound 5'3'' chick.. shes a ****ing WHALE.
And then when someone calls her fat the other person will just say "oh thats not very nice, she isnt THAT big"
My god... I mean, I was talking to my dad who is like 320, and I was saying "blah blah blah obesity is going to be the death of us" and he is like "SHUT UP! Go to your room!" shock You can loose weight dude...

Not most of the time. When someone calls another person it is almost always meant in a derogatory way. As a result alot of fat people will feel insulted or belittled when someone describes them as "that fat guy" regardless of the other persons intent.

Obese people are stigmatized, and are the victims of tasteless jokes and assaults on their dignity. They face societal bias because of their size. They suffer from the stereotype of being lazy, stupid, weak-willed, lacking in ambition, selfish, greedy, gluttonous, sedentary and ugly. There' s an antipathy toward weighty people, and I' d grow tired of it when I have to hear day in, day out that I' m fat.

Alpha Centauri
If someone tells me I'm skinny, how is it rude? It's fact.
Maybe you consider the act of saying it so bluntly, to be rude. The actual SAYING of the phrase itself isn't untrue though is it?
My friend is morbidly obese, and he shouts at his mum for smoking. He rips on her saying how unhealthy it is and how it could kill her, now I agree, but where do we draw the line? Why is it socially acceptable to rip on one kind of unhealthy person and not the other?
Why would HE be applauded, yet if his mum turned around and said "You fat pig, why do you eat like that? It's unhealthy." etc, it would be deemed wrong? They're both unhealthy, both can die from it, so why can't we rip on them both?
Answer: Because we're supposed to be concerned about the image and self-esteem of those who are fat through their own fault and don't try to do anything about it. I say, tough shit. You don't worry about your own health and self-esteem, why should I?
-AC
Bardock42
Two things in respond on AC...
1. What about not ripping on either...now, and I know it's hard I love to make fun of people...mostly stupid ones (everyone)...but still...that would be a nice idea for once...
2. Maybe "fat" is a term that has negative images connected to them, I wouldn't say so, but where do we draw the line there? I mean "N*gger" well, I suppose it is a term that describes black people, that it was used in a derogatory way for two hundred years should, going by your logic, not be of any matter.
Except if you are saying it'S their own fault (fat people's) and they therefore deserve to be made fun off....which is quit a strange view, if I may say so.
Alpha Centauri
What do you mean "What about not ripping on either"? I don't go out making fun of every fat person or every smoker. Some people do, though, which was my point.
Why is it ok to say the same or similar veined comments to one type of unhealthy person, but not the other? The answer is, as I said before, self-esteem. I understand totally that some people are fat or obese through not fault of their own. Some however, are not. So if you're not trying to help yourself and YOU don't care about your own image, why should I? My analogy was correct. If people would say that my friend is right in what he says about smoking, and accept his right to say that, why can't his mum say similar things back to him? It's a double standard. If all he is saying are the facts about smoking, nothing offensive, then why can't she say the facts back? "You are obese and you are fat"? It's a fact, he is. He has no right to be offended, he is the way he is. If he doesn't like it, change it. Don't give me that crap about "I've tried, I can't." either. People lose drastic amounts if they work at it. You (not you) just haven't tried hard enough.
The N-word is a racist term. Fat is not, it's the term for people who are overweight with fat. People take offense even if they are factually fat. If someone calls me skinny, I don't take offense, because I am- infact- skinny.
No, I'm not saying that. It's not always their own fault, but sometimes it is. If you are one of those, then why should I give a shit about making you feel good about yourself? You don't.
-AC
Bardock42
Yeah, I am just saying maybe they shouldn't....
And I think it is nor acceptable to make differences there, I am not thinking that the solution for that is that both should be ripped on, but that both should be left alone, as I am sure your opinion is.
But "N" wasn't always a racist term, was it? And if fat is over a long period of time used only in a derogatory way, as many might claim it is, there is no difference....calling a homosexual a "F", calling a Jew a "K", calling a Black person a "N", might be just the same as calling a big person "fat" ( no I don't think it is, but some might).
Oh, no one is claiming that, but it would also be really stupid to go out of your way to make them feel bad about themselves.
Alpha Centauri
How many skinny people do you see getting called "fat" as a derogatory term? 50? 5 million? None. Fat people get called fat because they are fat. Sometimes it's meant genuinely, sometimes it's derogatory, but let's not be so dumb as to pretend said people aren't actually fat, if they are. If you saw a bully calling an obese kid "Fatty" or something, would you say "He stop it! That's wrong." Because it was derogatory? Yes. You wouldn't say stop because you think he's not obese, if he is.
The N-word is solely a racist term. Fat is based upon factual information and scientific observation.
You're arguing a completely unrelated point as you seem to have a habit of doing.
My main point was that you shouldn't say it's ok to debate a smoker and tell them that it's disgusting and unhealthy if you can't say it to a fat person.

I might be having an idea...... shutup
anyway..
my real life friends used to laugh at me, because of my 'fat leg' (yes, in singular) crying1
Alpha Centauri
Did you factually have a fat leg? I would say that's out of order for them to do that, because it's not something that should be made fun of.
But I wouldn't go and say "She doesn't have a fat leg" if you do. That's my point.
If you disagree with people being made fun of because they are fat, fine. I agree there in many cases. Let's not try to be Captain Morality and DENY that they are fat though.
-AC
Clovie
naah.. I'm actually underweight.. but in their opinin I had claimed that once..and they keep on making fun of that cry
and I generally disagree about making fun of people because of anything... even though sometimes they're asking for it.. by the way they're acting and so on..
eg. when someone overweight is being ruda and unkind.. and is making fun of someone.. I can understand the other perosn saying something like 'leave me alone you fat.... ' or if they're first whining about how fat they are and then going and buying a dozen of candy bars...
it's pointless.. if they want to get thinner they should just try.. in some cases it is really their own choice..

How many white people do you see that get called N*ggers?
Oh yeah, none....
Wow....that's really, really weird...could you everytime you say fat instead insert "N" and everytime you say "obese", "black" and we again have the same thing....
The N word wasn't a solely racist term...it evolved to be one...what if that happened with "fat" as well and we two just didn't notice yet?
I agree with your point, but I argue in response to the thread, not your unrelated point. ANd how the hell did smokers come into that?
Obviously you shouldn't say "No, X is not Big" if X is big...but to say "Yeah, X is the fat one" or "You are fat X" might be offensive and should therefore just like the other insulting terms not be used.

No need for sympathy...no one asks for that....just don't insult him if he doesn't insult you....human decency...quite simple actually....

I knew one girl..and she was overweight..and once she went into diet..and it worked and she was looking actually fine.. and then she started eating a lot of candies..and everything she got went bye bye..and she was looking as bad as at the beginning
I have no idea about that stones thing.. and I couldn't care less about pounds.. but if you accidentally knew how much that would be in kilos... bag

You miss the point again.
If I call him fat, or obese, I'm not insulting him. Which is what the thread is about. Why do fat people get offended if they are called fat? I don't know, why? If it's not purposefully derogatory, why do they get offended? Are they so deluded that they don't believe they are fat?
If you are fat, and I call you fat. The only thing you can complain about is my bluntless, not what I've said.
Hence why if I called someone a fat pig, you would tell me it's wrong because it's rude and insulting. You wouldn't go and say "That's wrong...because they're not fat" if they are, infact, fat. Would you?

maybe it is about not using the term 'fat' but 'obese' instead? (which for me doesn't make any difference...)

I think Obese is a mean term. Sounds a lot like "OH!!! BEAST!!!!!"

Hahahaha, how silly.
Obese is a factual term. You're obese once you hit a certain weight, like it or not. It's no mean that saying someone is overweight, they are.

No it's not. That is catering to someone's overly sensitive distaste of reality and actuality.
An obese or fat person is fat, whether they like that term or not. I'm skinny, regardless of whether I like that term or not.
If someone doesn't like being called fat, despite them being fat, that's their problem. It's what they are. You're German, it's what you are. If you didn't like being German, it wouldn't change the fact that you are German. If you didn't like being called German, it wouldn't mean I am being derogatory by calling you German. It's just what you are, regardless of if you like it or not.
You're being pedantic and overly philosophical, as per Bardock usual.

At least in the USA obesity is when your body reaches a certain percent body fat............like 22% for men and 30 to 33% for women I cannot recall. But whatever the number is they are fat.

I think its wierd how SKINNY women are offended by the term fat--and its usually only white women, cuz sistaz have unbreakble self-confidence.
If was fat and somebody called me fat, I'd be like "OK, what's yer point?". It's such a weak comeback/diss, imo.

People get offended by comments on their bodies when they are uncomfortable with their appearance already. Insults reinforce the doubts they have about themselves. This is a matter of self esteem, if you are born with certain characteristics that another person makes fun of, it's your choice to let them influence you or to put them aside.
Even if your way of life has made you a target, your own opinion should still overrule. And yeah, if you have those unwanted extra pounds on you and someone makes fun of you and you go 'Boohoohooo, he's right... I'm a walrus, bohohoho', then solve the problem or learn to withstand the comments.
At least fat people have some chance to alter their appearance, which cannot be said for those that are discriminated because of characteristics they were born with (except for Michael Jackson that is).
Alpha Centauri
What Bullets just said is interesting.
I think saying ugly being true is a bit of a claim. They're not ugly to a guy who actually finds larger females attractive. You don't, so of course they're ugly to you. So there's SOME truth to what you say, but it's mostly your personal viewpoint. I don't view being grossly overweight as an attractive feature either, and I think that people who claim they don't care only do so to save face.
I don't think fat people automatically are bad people anymore than I do about skinny people or any kind of people, but I don't find being obese to be attractive and I'll be the first to be honest about that. The reaction to that is normally "You'll hurt feelings." Yeah? Well saying things honestly is more likely to kick someone into the routine of wanting to lose weight than if you tell them they look good.
As for gluttonous, I sort of agree with you there. Stereotypes, however outlandish, are there because there is SOME truth to it. Fat people don't OFTEN get fat by being pro athletes, they get fat by eating and eating without any sensible variation or dieting. Not all, but some.
Lazy I think is a bit of a judge-each-case thing. Being obese doesn't make it easy to do things. Then again, my friend (morbidly overweight for his age) goes out and plays football every Sunday for hours.

Ugly: True its only opinion, but if an overwhelmingly large majority agrees--then that usually says something.
Lazy: More often than not its usually a safe bet.

Their tragedy is that when the really stinging insults start, the way back to a better shape is a long hard road through hell.
But I can't really live in to the thoughts and motivations of the 'grander' amoung us, being a lightweight, so I'm just guessing.

No matter what 'shortcomings' people might suffer for themselves, they will be focused on those alot more then seeing chance to ignore them.

That is unjustified crap. Mind you, just about everyone that makes fun of other people's appearance do so because they doubt themselves, and seek subjects which are lesser in his/her view to assure themselves that he/she is not the greatest mis-happen on the face of the earth.
A motivation that will only backfire.

I agree, why? You are factually fat, why do you get offended by it?
If the answer is "Because I don't like it." Then tough shit, you are. Being purposefully derogatory is wrong, but saying it in a completely innocent and observant way is no reason for anyone to get offended.

Hey, I do not judge people on their mass at all. I have quite a few friends that have weight-issues, and I could not care less. I love them nomatter what they look like.

It's just that many fat people are offended, while they can (or could) prevent the situation they're in, unlike most other discriminated people.

By saying to them that they are fat? If someone goes to a doctor and the doctor says "You are morbidly obese." What does the man or woman say? Nothing. A friend or family member says it, what happens? It gets into "I find that offensive."
Why? It's not an offensive curse word or anything. It's a term for a state. If you are fat, or you are morbidly obese or just obese, then...that's the term used to describe your disposition.
That's how you say it. If they are fat, they are fat. End of.

I guess so but I don't see the need to tell someone they're fat really and truly cause it's kinda like ugly people I mean they're ugly and they know they are but their no need to tell them .
