@adamgeeeeeee: Ah so you think because you happened to be born with a thin body, you have the right to judge those who were born with fat bodies, right?
Everyone should be able to eat and be healthy, it should be that simple because it is for someone like you, blessed with the luck of the genetic draw to have a fashionably thin body.
That is what it comes down to, people want to have the fantasy that we have completely control over our bodies, we don't.
Feel free to snark about fat people, when you understand how it is to live as one. How it is to not be able to buy clothing outside of a few specialty stores, because designers are too dumb to figure out how to clothe fat people. When every day on TV your body type is held up as an example of deviance and immorality.
Of course, you know nothing of this because you the virtuous thin person feels you should be the one to inform the stupid fat people that they might be unhealthy! I think you just earned your Prejudice Under the Guise of Concern badge!
@adamgeeeeeee: Adam, you'll probably do better at this, if you stop assuming the only people who care about size discrimination are "obese" people.
There are thin people who get flack for being too thin, or being assumed to have Anorexia or Bulemia. They also have concerns over size acceptance.
So please don't try to turn this into a fat people only issue. It's also rather juvenile to assume that gamers are spending their time only calling people "faggots" on X-Box Live. You seem to really have a poor view of humanity.
Maybe if you started helping people feel better about themselves, instead of harping on about the negative all the time, you wouldn't feel such despair towards other people.
Also, people can be healthy at any size as long as they exercise and eat healthy food. Not everyone is born with the genetics to have a societally acceptable thin body. Perhaps if you thought of those kids in Boy Scouts learning how to use Wii Fit and enjoying that you'd be less sour about this issue.
As far as the issue of humor goes concerning this, I guess some people will always find hate to be amusing. This is like a humor badge for Black children for acheivement in Ebonics. More people should be outraged, when the same hate is recycled to target another group.
@adamgeeeeeee: Nice, using the claim of "Cub Scouts really should be outside right?" as a reason for your fat hatred.
You should become a writer for the news, really. They've been doing this type of crap too.
@SingS: *sigh* There's just no talking to you. Now you want to call me a feminist, in hopes that will offend me. Don't you have a life? Maybe get a girlfriend instead of depending on Kotaku for your fix?
@SinghS: You just can't let this go can you? Just because there aren't other women here bringing up the same valid point I made, doesn't make it less so.
So a bunch of women have to come here and explain this to you, because you're too dumb to get it the first time around?
@BBQcornnuts: So now that you've been called out on your rude comments, you're going to suddenly act like an intellectual. Perhaps if you had the mind to have posted this, instead of a childish joke about fat people inhaling food, you wouldn't have to had been spoken to.
Nice attempt at trying to make me look like a moron, but I'm not the one who made a joke from the basis of hatred.
@suchcrap: There are ways to go about teaching all people fat AND THIN to eat healthier, without shaming. We have an obesity hysteria in this country, not a obesty epidemic. Please visit:

for more information. She just goes on TV and bullies fat people, if she wants people to be healthier fine. Singling out fat people is only something a bully would do.
@SinghS: How do you knoe Kotaku's audience is mostly men? Your telling me there are few to no women interested in gaming?
Get over the reality that video games are no longer a boys only club anymore.
