    If this persons body is resorting to storing fat in his palms I’m worried about what the rest of them looks like

      why would you expect something like that??

      although all forms of prejudice and hatred are terrible, the online anti-fat hate just bugs so much.
      it’s so common, accepted, and arbitrary
      i mean, at least with racism there’s some kind of stupid “reasoning” behind it. some notion that “others” are a threat, and tribal nonsense.
      but just hating on overweight people is so… pointless…
      anyways, i expect the banning of r/fatpeoplehate and the like has sent some troglodytes over here.
      but, if the instance doesn’t do something, theyll get defederated

        The reasoning is that being fat is something you can do about whereas race is not.

        I’m not advocating being an asshole but, as a former fat guy, I can say that a little shame can be a powerful motivator.
