otf_wank's thoughts on weight, stop sharing your thoughts

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FAT
Mars from Chicken Dinner Candybar does her regular Fat Love Friday and includes Marie from Agent Lover.

Marie is put off by her inclusion on a "fat" list and tells Mars so.

Mars offers to take it down. Marie refuses. Instead, she proclaims on her blog, "oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale no!

Chaos ensues in the comments about fatphobia, body acceptance, fashion sense (or the lack thereof), and kissing-up commentors.

Is Marie brave or is she overreacting?

(I'm in the comments and I know Natalie [the 'overreacting' link], so I am slightly involved in the wank aftermath. It's pretty obvious which side i'm on.)

	nodnod I can understand that. I'm not a Mod, so it may be something to discuss with them? I've seen a few posts now in OTF_Wank that include something about the OP being in the comments, so shrug (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well they approved it - it was held for moderation - so I guess they're ok. shrugs, holds hands up (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The moderation queue means that your post is checked to make sure it isn't advertising or strings of obscenities. Nothing more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Otherwise we'd never have failposts to dogpile! (Reply to this)(Parent)

We don't screen for content, check links, or any of that stuff. Our assignment is to make sure you're not a spammer or a troll with ten paragraphs of FUCK YOU in all caps. f_w and its siblings are meant to be self-moderated as much as possible.

i_wank is safest if you're involved in any way, but not mandatory. However, if you say you're not wanking and are mistaken, the comm members will quickly let you know.

	Ah, righto. It's been a while since I submitted anything (and then 2 in a row!) so I wasn't sure. Thanks! (Reply to this)(Parent)
