In reality, society is too afraid to hurt anyone's feelings by telling it like it is. If you're addicted to drugs, food, porn, calamity, whatever... It's a product of your poor decisions. I do not deserve to suffer for them, nor does anyone else.

Nice assumptions on my hypocrisy regarding the echo chamber, but I've looked at both sides in depth and I see it pretty plainly: one side posts scientific studies and facts, the other aggressively whines about hurt feelings and lack of acceptance with their fingers in their ears. Do you agree with that or am I way off base? Delusion is a mofo and I'm not above looking inward. Maybe I'm the deluded one and these fat sympathizers are really decent people with our collective best interests in mind. Fat cops, fat firefighters, fat soldiers, fat girlfriends.. We're saying that's perfectly acceptable right? Just want to be clear.

I used to be like you and think that this stuff was blown out of proportion on the Internet and never really gained much traction in the real world... But when I see childhood friends and family members posting pics of them fat disgusting selves in bikinis on facebook and Instagram with those hashtags and this shit hits home and I find it truly upsetting.

If they have no shame, we should help them find it. I get your angle and I agree to an extent but there comes a point where being an idealistic, limp-wristed sympathizer just doesn't make any sense. Telling them they're fat and they suck and we hate them won't work. Coddling and sympathizing and even encouraging it sure as hell won't help. So what does that leave us? Stand idly by while our species is killing itself off just because we don't wanna hurt feelings? It's a sad day. Feigned bullshit is trumping honest criticism in every arena.

You do agree it's a problem, right? Our only point of contention is how we should handle/treat fat people?
