10 Of The Worst Tweets From #FatShamingWeek…So Far

Oh brother.

The internet is sometimes just the worst sometimes. For instance, it’s apparently “Fat Shaming Week,” which is some sort of nightmarish weeklong holiday for hateful jagweeds to take their fatphobia up a notch. Searching through the hashtag on twitter is disheartening. The deliberate jerkishness of #fatshamingweek’s sincere participants is stunning. I’d be amused by how pathetic and ignorant these people are for organizing this if they weren’t so scary. I’m not a fat person, so I cannot truly understand the extent of harm this sort of hatred does, but there are fat people I know and love who deserve better than this bullshit.

Here are 10 awful tweets from #fatshamingweek:

Hating fat people is shallow because thinness does not equal self respect.

Other people aren’t on this Earth to please you aesthetically. Don’t go to chain restaurants if they bother you so much? I checked out this sad lady’s twitter and she has a lot of angry fat shaming tweets like that one above and “Maybe if you loved Jesus you wouldn’t be such a fat disgusting pitiful diabetic loser. Rip out that rocky road IV & get moving” among others. She sounds Christlike.

Who doesn’t want a snowboard instructor/dentist boyfriend? Every woman’s dream.

Being thin won’t compensate for being a total jerk who doesn’t value education or intelligence.

Yikes.

If having big boobs isn’t the criteria for “having a huge rack” I do not know what having a huge rack is.

Ethan C thinks he’s using fancy language, but it’s just nonsense.

I’d much rather have an ugly, wimpy man who doesn’t hate people based on size than a hottie who hates fat people.

10)

Rapey and hateful.

Those are just 10 awful tweets–there are more. Why are these people taking time to tweet out their hatred? If you’re a dick and you hate fat people or thin people or anyone based on their size, can’t you at least have the decency to be embarrassed silently about your ignorance?

If you want to check out the hashtag, you’ll see some vile hostility, but you’ll also see some people subverting the twisting the hashtag. The losers that starting fat shaming week just want attention and I’m glad they’re getting it because most of it seems to be negative. If only they didn’t seem to get off on being bad people.

  That ROK website is crowing about their “successful fat shaming week” and included links to several website, including this one. I have to admit to being a fly on the wall on that site — it’s alternately hilarious, horrifying and pathetic. These guys constantly censure a club they desperately want to join.

  “WHERE THE FUCK did these people come from??”

  All these uplikes on all these terrible comments is seriously confusing me. Are they ironic likes? That’s the only thing I can imagine. People aren’t actually like “Yeah, I totally agree with that.” Right?

Those people are so hateful and shallow. They have no idea about anything about life and are projecting their own self hatred onto others who they perceive as imperfect. They are the disgusting ones.

  Then people should stop stuffing themselves full of butter and fat while exercising about as much as a beached whale. Dying from clogged arteries at 50 is a far more accurate definition of “imperfect”, wouldn’t you agree? #FatShamingWeek

Dear Joanna,

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH FAT SHAMING???

Here’s the difference sweetheart.

Have a look at twitter —>> ®expsnghghtsm

This population of hateful cVnts actually has a “problem” with men who are less than 6′ tall. Even though I am 6’2″ and women love that… I still marvel at the hypocrisy, because here it REALLY gets funny is that these cVnts are ALL shorter than 6′ themselves!!!

They hate short… but they ARE short. That’s like a Hitler hating Nazis, and it is the extremely sickness and insanity of the female mind exposed for all the world to see.

Now, Imagine you’re a MAN. Imagine being shamed because you refuse to enlist in the draft to fight and die in wars for female comfort and convenience. Imagine being A MAN and being “shamed” because you refuse to drown on a sinking ship or give up your seat on a lifeboat because YOU DONT BELIEVE YOUR LIFE IS DISPOSABLE -=—>>> LIKE WOMEN DO

Suddenly a little fat shaming and saying “drop the fork and hit the treadmill” to an obese , lazy tub of lard doesn’t sound so bad anymore, does it. Think about it. Hard.
- http://www.findingohna.com/ Syn de Nial
  
  So what your saying is, you’ve been made to feel inadequate so your out to do it to others. Thanks for making that clear.
- Tom
  
  No, don’t TELL me “what I’m saying”.
  
  That’s not what I am saying at all. It’s only your silly reinterpretation of it. But I am happy to clear it up for your presumptuous ass. I am not pointing out the SAME thing. I pointed out something totally DIFFERENT.
  
  I have been in a profession where you get FIRED for being fat – even 5-10 pounds overweight is considered “fat”. I didn’t whine or cry about it — I kicked my ass into top shape on a daily basis. The contract DEPENDS on being as slim and fit as possible. When people get fired for being fat… this isn’t called “fat shaming”, it’s called THE JOB.
  
  It’s the JOB to be slim, fit, healthy and at the top of your physical game. (Just like in nature – if you ever want to get laid and bang quality poon )
  
  Fat / lazy / obese women actually try to CONVINCE themselves (or each other) that “fat women are beautiful too.” And anyone who says “no you are not” she will think is now “fat shaming” her. But in reality, the fat pig actually expects to be considered “beautiful too” — when there are other women who bust their ass at yoga, pilates or the gym to stay in the mating game.
  
  WHat these people call “fat shaming” is actually GOOD for them. I have been TRAINED to believe that being 10 pounds overweight is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE. We are not talking “fat” here. Just 10-20 pounds is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE. And I LOVE that. Because it makes me CONSCIOUS of every bit of food I put in my mouth. It forces me to drink water instead of soda. I eat an apple instead of a bag of chips. And if I decide to have a cheeseburger – well that’s an extra 15 minutes uphill I will have to run. FRIES ??? Make it +30 minutes.
  
  It ensures a STANDARD – a GOOD standard.
  
  Now, shaming MEN for not being willing to take a bullet and DIE for a female happened when a psycho recently opened fire in a crowded movie theatre. Women everywhere have NO problem expecting their “boyfriends” and to feel like we are worthless unless we take a bullet to protect them. Men have been shamed since the beginning of time into believing their lives are disposable. And you’re gonna compare a comment like “drop the fork and hit the treadmill” to THAT?
  
  Fat bitches should be THRILLED that we don’t shove a rifle in their hands and push them to the front lines to DIE for us… and if they refuse to do it, we will now treat them like a piece of SHIT and ostracize them from our lives. That’s what men have had to tolerate until a few decades ago. You can’t even COMPARE the two.
  
  • Is expecting men to DIE the same as expecting women to stop stuffing their faces?
  
  • Is telling someone they are FAT the same as telling someone they are worthless because they are SHORT????
  
  You can DO something about fatness.
  You can’t DO anything about being short.
  
  Are you getting it yet?
  It’s not the SAME thing.
  —>>> Its totally DIFFERENT.
  
  •••••••••
  
  You’ve heard of “FAT ACCEPTANCE” yes? This liberal / leftist crap is shoved into everyone’s faces like a bacon-double-cheeseburger and “fat shaming” is just the retort. “Fat acceptance” lobbyists should EXPECT “fat shaming” right back.
  
  The reason “fat shaming” exists and people don’t find it acceptable in OTHER people —->> IS BECAUSE WE DONT ACCEPT THAT WITHIN OURSELVES.
  
  What I pointed out was the very clear difference between “short shaming” and “fat shaming”. The very same fat bitch who tweets “short men have no place on this earth” (when she is short herself) will scream like a rabid cat when she is “fat shamed”. They aren’t even in the same fucking ball park. The hypocrisy is simply astounding.
- Samantha_Escobar
  
  You just spent longer writing an illiterate comment than Joanna spent writing this article. Oh, dear.

OMG this is so horrible! Brb going to eat a couple cupcakes to make myself feel better #fatisbeautiful #menNeedToManUp #everyoneAndEverythingIsOK
- P. I. Student
  
  delusional… beautiful is what I decide is beautiful, “manning up” is not having a woman tell you who should you like, and certainly not everything is ok, especially being lazy, self indulgent and having zero self control and discipline (only truly privileged people can afford to live like that, if you can understand that language)
- JustJenna
  
  Sure you are free to decide what YOU feel is beautiful. Give everyone else their space to decide that too. Including the way they feel about themselves.

The only thing wrong with “fat shaming” is that it’s done for only ONE week out of 50.

Where’s Joanna Raphael’s article on how she disproves of SHORT shaming which happens 365 days a year on Twitter? @expsnghghtsm

She will never publish her distaste with that twitter account because she is FEMALE.

At least a FAT person can DO something about it.

Short people can’t.

Thank Christ I am 6’2″… but from now on, when I meet a woman who says something like: “I love that you’re so tall. I only date taller men.” ….. or even SUGGESTS liking my height…… she gets dumped immediately on the spot, with zero hesitation or remorse.

Is that called “cvnt shaming”????

Tweet that.
- JustJenna
  
  The difference is, no one makes a trend out of short shaming. Short people aren’t regularly mocked. And by the way, not all fat people can do something about it. There’s this thing called a thyroid. When it malfunctions, people can eat less than a tiny side salad a day and STILL gain weight. MANY people suffer from hypothryroidism and don’t even know it. As many as two in 100 women have it and stabilizing the medication can be very difficult.
  
  Fat shaming does not help anyone, it only causes hurt. A friend of mine was hurt quite badly in a car accident and gained a lot of weight while laying prone in bed, being fed high carb food by well meaning family. When she was well enough to shop (but not walk), she had to use a mobility cart. While putting her groceries in the car, a truck drove by with a couple of losers who yelled out fat slurs about how she couldnt even stand up to load her trunk, and how she should just kill herself so no one had to look at her. It was horrible and I was so embarrassed for her. For a long time, she just sat in her car and cried. This woman went to physical therapy every day (BEFORE the fat shaming incident) and was losing the weight. But their attack on her caused her to slide into a deep depression, one which led to a suicide attempt. And it all started that day in the parking lot when she began to feel her life was worthless.
  
  Treat people, no matter what they look like, with kindness. Would you mock a person for having pimples? Theoretically, they can do something about that. And theoretically, they could be the reason for it too, by eating greasy foods and not washing their face. But you still wouldn’t insult them to their face about it because it simply isn’t done. The same goes for fat people. You have no idea what has caused their weight problem or why they look the way they do. And you have no idea what they are trying to do about it. Making them feel bad about themselves will only be a hindrance to them, not a help.
- Goatse
  
  Liar! I’m short with a very fat dick and I’m mocked daily by all my hos.
- John
  
  Sounds like an excuse to stop trying, tell her to use it as motivation. Almost everyone has been teased about something they were self conscious about, but it’s the week minded that let it affect them in the wrong way. When someone tells me I can’t do something, or doubt me I work 10 times harder to show them they’re fucking retarded and ignorant. If everyone started crying every time someone said something they didn’t like, then we’d just have a bunch of cry baby bitches running around……oh wait….
- Hector
  
  “And by the way, not all fat people can do something about it.”
  
  Question to a fat person who cannot do anything about it: what happens to your body if you consume 0 calories?
  
  Does it grow smaller?
  
  It does? Good!
  
  Now: find the number between 0 calories and the number of calories you are currently eating that provides your body sufficient nutrition while ALSO allowing you to lose weight.
  
  Now, blimey – you can DO something about it!
  
  You are no longer a victim of your thyroid! Hurray!
  
  Or, if you’re REALLY serious, you can do what this guy did to lose weight, and simply eat nothing but water and vitamins for a year:
  
  http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/07/24/3549931.htm
  
  In this life, there are very few things that are not within our control. There sure are a lot of people who’d like to abdicate responsibility for their lives and cry about how things just happen to them and how unfortunate they are, though.
- Hector
  
  Oh, also – there’s effective treatment for hypothroidism. I should know; I had a girlfriend with it, and she was NEVER fat. If you get treated and watch the calories you consume, it’s never outside your control – something as easily treatable as a thyroid problem is NOT an excuse.
  
  It’s down to YOU. What do you CHOOSE to be?
- JustJenna
  
  Not everyone’s case is the same. And surely you would not advocate for anorexia?
- halcyondays
  
  Pitiful. There are people with no legs in the Olympics. Sofia Vergara doesn’t even HAVE her thyroid anymore. This is just a bunch of pathetic excuses. If people want to be fat, fine, but quit using hypothyroidism as an excuse. And if people bring you food when you’re injured, you don’t have to eat it. It’s not rude. It’s rude to kill your loved ones with food.
- JustJenna
  
  It’s sad that you don’t understand the reality that illness and injury can cause people to be overweight. Can they try their best to lose it? Yes. The sad fact is that it doesn’t always work without drastic measures like surgery. And the truth is that you have no idea whether the fat people you see out there aren’t trying not to be. Are all? No. But name calling and shaming will only make it worse, not better. It took me six months to lose my pregnancy weight and it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do. I can only imagine how much harder it is when your body is actively fighting against your efforts.
  In the end the only thing I am asking is that people try to be kind.

- josef
  
  So you mean that i as a 22 year old guy that is 5.3 tall and never ever get bullied? So are you are telling me that kids boys/girls dont mocks and even beat smaller kids in school just because they stand out? Or even girls in my university that is feminists calls me unmanly, manlet and compensating when I try too do things that improve my lifestyle.
  
  The funny thing is that the ones giving me the hardest time about my height arent tall people or even guys its usually is girls around 5ft-5-6ft and they arent shy about it.
  
  You say the some fat poeple cant even lose weight thnkas to “diseases”, What about a short person that gets mocked each and every day by kids,adults and even in the professional world. If I try to get fitter I would “compensate” if I defend myself from bullies I got the so called “Napolens complex” if I dont defend myself and let it go I would be a wimp a manlet, so please dont even tell me that “no one makes it a trend to short shaming” it has been atrend for a long time people just dont think about it, because lets be honest that issue has never been taken up to begin with!
- JustJenna
  
  Fair point. As a 5’7 130 pound woman, I have never dealt with the short or fat issue personally, and I didn’t see the short bullying happening around me. I guess there is no “short shaming” trend on Twitter, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. In the end, my most basic point is that we should treat each other with kindness and decency, not hatred. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Days of Broken Arrows

Sorry, but I don’t see this as ignorance. I grew up with a serious chronic illness where my lungs were not fully functional. But I worked my butt off, exercised and ran like crazy until I achieved what my doc considers a miracle: 100 percent lung function.
If I can get over that hurdle (which took a decade) then there is no reason obese people can’t drop weight one way or another. It’s a matter of effort and pride. You don’t get respect just by being; you get it by doing.
PS: The word “rapey” demeans actual rape victims because it comes off as making light of a serious crime. Stop using this shallow, trendy word — which I see as more harmful and demeaning than fat shaming.
Josh Jenkins

Here’s the thing…no, it’s never right to treat people badly. But, there is also this awful complacency toward weight where instead of learning more about how food is manufactured, and how to eat properly to avoid all kinds of health issues, there is this idea that it’s okay to just get fat. For a lot of overweight people there is most definitely an ignorance factor, and rather than promoting this we should be educating. Furthermore, it costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year because of health issues that could be easily prevented by healthier eating habits. It might not be right to hate on fat people, I don’t condone this, but I also don’t condone the blatant and disgusting complacency that permeates fat culture. Just something to think about.
- dannih
  
  I have to say I disagree with the idea that society says its ok to get fat but I’ll agree that there is a lot of ignorance involved with obesity. Still, how does fat shaming, like saying “You can always eat the bullet” or “Fat women don’t deserve the love of a decent man” help anyone? I doubt these people are truly concerned about the health and wellness of others. To me, they sound like they have their own insecurities and that shaming others helps them feel better about themselves. They’re acting like the 7th grade bully.
- Josh Jenkins
  
  Sure it does. We have terms like ‘big is beautiful’, we teach that who a person is inside trumps who they are on the outside (and though this is true in a way, it shouldn’t be used to excuse such eating behaviors that lead to being overweight). As far as the shaming, those idiots are a bunch of cowards hiding behind their own computer screens. Probably pimply little teenage boys who are picked on themselves.
  
  And I think it should also be remembered, that though shaming is wrong, if a person is self conscious of their weight to the point of feeling bad when these things are said, and they don’t have a medical/genetic problem that makes weight loss more difficult, than there isn’t a reason to not do something about it, and not doing something about it exemplifies the whole idea of complacency. Sure it might be hard to lose weight, no one’s arguing that, but it can most certainly be done, and there are much harder things in life to do. It’s a very fist world problem in a way.
- JustJenna
  
  Very good point and well put. I read somewhere where a poor starving man from a third world country made the comment that he wanted to move to a country like America, where even the poor people are fat. I was very struck by this comment.
TrentMax

I have gained 25 pounds over the last four months that I don’t want. For a while I was acting like a girl and rationalizing it. Now, I will act like a healthy person who respects myself and lose the flubber. Thanks #fatshamingweek for waking me up! I might not have found the motivation without you.

“I’d much rather have an ugly, wimpy man who doesn’t hate people based on size than a hottie who hates fat people.”

YEAH RIGHT.

Fat shaming is not cool.

Women seem to forget men are also displayed as objects publicly and judging by gym memberships give into the “pressures” the media places on us to stay in shape.

I feel so uncomfy about how the media portrays men as strong and fit. Why can’t I eat my cupcakes in peace and not have to worry about having abs.

Women judge my large heart that matches my large gut.

Looks like you didn’t understand why #fatshamingweek happened. #fatshamingweek was meant to promote a healthy lifestyle. Because the US is so generous to fatties, someone had to try to help them out
http://learnstofly.tk Klem

Think whatever you want, but as harsh as it may seems, shaming is a working tactic….it worked for smokers, it works for drinkers, it works for lazies….I do not see why is shouldn’t work fatties.

AS a smoker, i am shamed becasue it is unhealthy and has a high societal costs.
Well, being fat is the same. Wether you shame ALL behaviors, whether you shame NO behaviors, but do not pick what shaming is acceptable to you. And besides, considering that only the truth hurts, “proud” fat people should be offended when called out as ugly/unhealthy.

Fat acceptance is unhealthy habit rationalization, and any beahavior can be rationalized. That does not make it right

  Where did I tell you to be ashamed of yourself because of your weight. I said that shaming may be a tactic to push people to change. Smokers shaming pushed some to quit.
  
  Besisdes, the feeling of shame is self inflicted. It is not because people shame you that you have to feel this way (running around naked). And its not because something is considered OK that it is wrong to feel shamful about it (drinking too much on saturday).
  
  Fine not to be ashamed of it, good for you But you cannot expect people not to shame.
  
  And you cannot tell people to go F yourself directly and expect respect in return
