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.)

The same old false dichotomies. "I can't lose weight fast, so I may as well not try at all." "Eek, eek, when you say people can lose weight you are telling them they have to be model-anorexic-thin." "I don't have time to work out two hours a day then take a ten mile hike, so it's useless to walk a tenth of a mile to my friend's house instead of drive."

Actually, I haven't seen anyone say that in these comments. I think you're projecting a little.

	Considering some of the responses to my other post... no, don't think so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Being told that you're wrong about something != making false statements about what people have said. (Reply to this)(Parent)
