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.)

	No, s/he implied that MOST people can control their weight, and that people in that group who are fat are at fault. Bit of a difference. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	shrug It's a cycle. People get fat, society treats them bad, they respond by getting defensive about their weight, the non-fat see the defensiveness as proof that the fat just aren't trying hard enough to lose weight, which pisses off the fat people more, and it never ends.
