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.)

The difference is who has to kneel during the diploma presentation so that their knees don't show in the official photos. It also means that the short people have far more of a chance to be naked under their robes and get away with it. *has fond memories of naked knock-knees parading across the stage at her graduation*

Yeah, the weight thing baffled me, especially since at my graduation they didn't ask if the person getting the robe was male or female. I had to put a dart in the back and a new hem on mine to take in all the extra fabric because apparently my weight meant I was a 6'7" linebacker.
