Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.
I'm fat. I'm not offended at the term "fascist fattie" as a reference to Trump. I'm unafraid of the truth that I'm overweight because it is the truth.
Conservatives are welcome to call me "Tubby Trans-supporter", "Pot-bellied Progressive", "Dumpy Democrat", "Blubbery Biden-voter", "Flabby Feminist", "Adipose Ally", "Lardy Liberal", "Stout Scientist" "Elephantine Environmentalist", "Swollen Socialist" and more.
The Pot-bellied Progressives and The Swollen Socialists would both be decent band names
Or does it make a single amazing band name?
Swollen Socialist and the Pot Bellied Progressives?
I dig it, they better be a proper punk band though. As in, none of them really know how to play an instrument, but God damn are they banging on their guitars anyways
Pot Bellied Progressives is absolutely a folk punk group.
Maybe we should probably take some time to consider what sort of circumstances OOP may have had to endure due to his fascist regime, that may have prompted her post, before we start policing her tone.
It’s maybe not great to invalidate her whole message because a part of it is unpleasant. Like, acknowledge her point first, then address the microaggression, I feel.
Adipose Ally is pretty clever ngl
I'm fat and I'm not offended, either. However, I'd prefer that criticisms - no matter which way they're aimed - are about the character of the target. I don't care if my representative is fat, thin, or non corporeal; I just want them to be a good representative. Any mockery of the person should, IMHO, focus on how they're likely to vote or act, not how they look.
You mean that fat fucking glutton trump? I have to worry about insulting others only to be told their insults of me are okay. I've just about reached my limit of tolerance for those that insist I have to adhere to their standards while they are okay labeling anyone they don't like as they please. Even if that label offends.
My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.
I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.
But he is fat. He's fat and has no reason to be fat. He can afford every diet, every personal trainer and even operation. It just shows how extra lazy and what kind of a hypocrite he is.
