    not butthurt, just find it funny that the first response to "don't use the c word please" is always always something along the lines of "cuuuuunt" or "don't be a cunt" or "i like how you're a cunt." every single time. it's so juvenile and unoriginal, it's like when mommy told you not to use a word and you use it every chance you get.
    [–]thegreatwhitemenace comment score below threshold-6 points-5 points-4 points  (21 children)
    are you sure that the juvenile nature of the comments is what rustles your jimmies, and not the use of the word CUNT which is known to be a trigger for the many CUNTS in ShitRedditSays? CUNT

    [–]Skythanil 3 points4 points5 points  (16 children)
    What's wrong with the word 'cunt'? Looking at your comment history, you're quite happy to use the word 'fuck' and 'shit' and the pejorative 'shitbag'. Why is 'cunt' that one step too far?
    [–]backlace 5 points6 points7 points  (12 children)
    Because that word is gendered and sexist, unlike fuck and shit.
    [–]Skythanil 2 points3 points4 points  (11 children)
    Genuinely asking, how does it being gendered make it sexist? And do you feel the same way about dick/prick/wanker/bell end?
    [–]backlace 1 point2 points3 points  (10 children)
    In the same way as the n word is racist, that word is sexist. Regardless of the context, the word has those attachments. It's using the female body as an insult. On the topic of those other words, yes and no. They don't have as much weight, because males aren't an oppressed class in our society, nor have they ever been. It's a lesser effect. In saying that, I do try to avoid using all gendered slurs. I also avoid ableist, racist, and homophobic slurs. It's not that much effort to phase them out after a while, and your criticisms end up being more reasonable, agreeable, and accurate.
    [–]PandaSandwich 2 points3 points4 points  (9 children)
    So because males aren't a "oppressed class", that makes it okay to use a gendered insult against them?
    Nice SRS tag BTW
    [–]GapingVaginaPatrol 3 points4 points5 points  (2 children)
    Which group does "shitbag" specifically target?
    [–]jorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrb 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
    Disabilities? What is it that you think shitbag refers to?
    [–]GapingVaginaPatrol -1 points0 points1 point  (0 children)
    I can assure you the folks with ostomy bags view them as bad, too. You're not born with one, it doesn't define who you are, and they also refer to their pouches as "shitbags".
    Take the concern trolling elsewhere.

              x1,000,000? I highly doubt that. There are subs where women go to discuss men's appearances. Plus, look at the build of reddit. Far more guys than there are women. This means that they'll be more likely to comment on women's appearances. In a community that's mostly female, the women in it will constantly comment on guy's appearances (And don't tell me that doesn't happen, I've seen it many times).

                  Yes, it's completely different. Neckbeard means roughly "male nerd with little regard for personal hygiene". That's not SAD.
                  Also, surprising as it might be to you, women can have SAD. It's nothing to do with facial hair.

                  ok, so they're completely separate. news flash: there's no correlation between body hair and hygiene. are women skanks because they don't shave their legs? Of course not! There's nothing wrong with men having facial hair on their neck. GROW UP!

                  It's used in a demeaning context towards people who are very close to what would be called SAD. But by all means, keep the double standard going. I'll be sure to whip myself if I use any sexist language while you mentally make lists of which means words it is okay to associate with which groups. Whatever makes you feel better.

                    "Neckbeard" is a relatively new term which refers to poor hygiene.
                    The n-word is a word with hundreds of years of context and history behind it that has been used to dehumanize and belittle other men and women and reinforce the idea that other human beings are not equal to others because of the color of their skin.
                    They are not even close to being in the same league. The fact that you think they are is honestly just sickening.

                    Okay, let's pretend that this woman is as large as you say. (She's not, she's a perfectly normal size.)
                    Let's also pretend that it's perfectly fine to make fun of people through the comfort of the Internet. (It's not. You're a dick.)
                    THESE TWO ARE PRACTICALLY THE SAME BODY SIZE. How on earth, even by your logic, is this guy lessening himself?
                    EDIT: Thanks, everyone, for not getting past the first line and missing the entire point of this comment. Regardless of whether or not you think this woman is too fat or unhealthy (I don't but that DOESN'T MATTER) - she is a VERY SIMILAR SIZE to her husband. I'm not approving the bullying of any person, but that the average Redditor thinks it's so hilarious to mock the woman and not the man shows a ridiculous hypocrisy.
                    You enthrone the male, putting him up on a pedestal where anything but the best is lessening himself, regardless of his own physical appearance.
                    The comment I was replying to was in the positives before I replied to it, but that doesn't mean the rest of this conversation isn't filled with comments at the woman's expense. If you can't grow up and start loving each other and treating each other with compassion, could you at LEAST treat everyone awfully equally?

That said, I agree that there is nothing wrong with either of those people who got married and in fact didn't notice that either one of them might be overweight until I found this comment tree.

                    Cruelty is not the answer, but neither is calling this normal. If this body type gets spread as normalcy, then normalcy will come with diabetes and heart complications. I was a fat kid and didn't even know it because my parents always told me I was normal.

                    I didn't call it normal. I understand weight issues, i am overweight myself. My point was despite her weight it is hurtful for people to be cruel on a day where she is supposed to feel like the most beautiful girl in the world.

I am overweight myself, but I accept that. There is nothing that bothers me more than when people can't own up to the fact that they are overweight.

                    It's a quote/reference to the Dark Tower series. The guy I replied to, Eddie_of_NewYork, his name is a character from the books. Eddie of New York is a gunslinger (think knights with guns instead of swords) When they shoot, they are told to "remember the face of their father", or remember their heritage and training. When a gunslinger makes a poor decision or violates code, he is said to have forgotten the face of their father.

                    That's the issue: Who decides what is "normal sized"? Your answer is likely that it's common sense that skinny is the norm, but I'd like you to think about where you learned that. Try to challenge the beliefs you were raised to have, because even if you don't give a shit how she looks, your beliefs are still bigoted.

                    Nature does. What is the norm is what nature decides. How many house cats have you seen that were 18 pounds and thought, "hmm. that's a normal weight for a house cat"? None. That's how many. Do you look at this dog and think it's a normal weight? No, you don't.

                    What you're saying is the equivalent of: "Black people living in Norway are abnormal because the cold weather leads to the evolution of fairer skin." The issue is, as humans, we're past having our lives be dictated by evolution alone. People of all types are still people, and the word "abnormal" has very negative connotations in our society. The otherization of groups society deems "abnormal" (i.e. mentally ill people, fat people, black people, gay people, trans people) has lead to oppression throughout history. I'd appreciate it if you tried setting aside your ideas of normalcy and look at everyone through the same lens.

                    I don't recall saying anything about anything you're talking about. I'm sorry you don't appreciate that biology makes things the way they are. It's normal to have two arms and two legs. It's normal to have the ability to see. It's normal to have sex.

                    Missing an arm shouldn't make someone abnormal; that's an ableist point of view. Being asexual, likewise, is not abnormal, it's simply a way some humans are. I'm not trying to get preachy, and I'm sorry if I sound that way, I'm just trying to get you to look at this in a different way. Treating people missing limbs as though they are abnormal does a lot of harm and no good; instead, I believe a person should treat every other person as a unique person whose life and conditions are just as normal and acceptable as one's own. If you'd prefer I just shut up at this point, I will; I just wanted to make that point.
                    [–]Zosimasie 0 points1 point2 points  (6 children)
                    Actually, being asexual does make someone abnormal. Sorry you don't understand what normal means. If I have 100 quarters, and one them doesn't have ridges along the circumference, that quarter is not normal with respect to that one quality, compared to the 'population' of all the other quarters. That's how the word 'normal' works.
                    Why do you keep applying action and "treating people" differently to this? I'm certainly not. I'm not talking about treating people differently, why the hell are you? You seem to be the only one here that thinks that's the way the world works. I'm not conflating 'normal' with 'acceptable'. So stop trying to shove that viewpoint on me.
                    Your 'point' doesn't need to be made. Most every decent person understands what you're saying about treating people a certain way. The point I'm making is that normal has a definition, and there are parameters of species that most of the population fall into that makes things 'normal'. It's sad that you can't seem to separate the reality of things from the social contract of equality. We are able to identify normalcy and deviations between groups, and we can still say, "that's nice, but we're still going to treat everyone equally."

                    My issue is almost entirely with the word "normal." Who decides what's normal? Someone above said it was nature, but in our society, where does evolution factor into normalcy? Who says humans evolved to BE a certain way? Absolutely nothing does, and I'd challenge you to find me anything to the contrary.

                    What's the average weight of an American woman? A google search says its around 165lbs as of 2006. Now, I'm really terrible at judging weight by looks, but it seems to me that the woman pictured weighs about that, or maybe a bit more. She's certainly not extremely obese, and if I saw her at the bar or the mall or wherever I certainly wouldn't single her out of everyone else and say "that one's abnormally fat." My point is, "normal weight" does not mean "not overweight."

                    But if I saw her (or him) in a crowd I certainly wouldn't single her(or him) out as "abnormally fat." You would?

                    Okay, let's pretend that this woman is as large as you say. (She's not, she's a perfectly normal size.)
                    Let's pretend that you're not pretending and you really think she's not overweight.
                    From a health standpoint, she is not a perfectly normal size. She is vulnerable to many more health risks because of her size. Pointing out that someone is not healthy is not making fun of them. Obviously downvote the "she's fat" comments, but let's not blur the line between being crude and being blunt.

                    You completely missed the point of this post. I'm asking the people reading the comment to assume she IS fat. It's not whether or not she's overweight, it's all the shitty people commenting on HER weight and not HIS.
                    Woe to this poor, poor man who had to marry a fat woman!
                    [–]droxile -3 points-2 points-1 points  (1 child)
                    So your first point can't be commented on? I was saying she isn't a healthy weight. She also doesn't deserve to be called fat, even if it's just on an anonymous forum.
                    [–]samueldlockhart 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
                    Of course it can, but at least SOMEONE try and say something about one of the other words I wrote. The words which were the point of the comment.

                    Ain't nobody alive who bullies people out of a legitimate concern for their health, yet that's what all the bullies claim when someone calls them out for being needlessly cruel to fat people.
                    Maybe t's because, deep down, they know bullying people based on their appearance is wrong, but they don't want to change their behavior, so they'll perform mental gymnastics to make them seem like the good guys.
                    [–]droxile 7 points8 points9 points  (0 children)
                    People make fun of other people because of self-confidence issues. Imagine how many of these people who called her fat have 10% body fat and a runner's body. Yeah right. It's shameless projection, and it's all over the internet. It's easy to be mean because nobody can see you. Only the most narcissistic would dare call someone fat on the internet if there was a requirement to post a picture of yourself first.

                    Glad to see that you are a doctor. I'll bet my cholesterol and blood pressure are lower than almost all of these goons posting "fat" comments.
                    [–]droxile 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
                    You don't have to be a doctor to know the health risks of being overweight. No need to get defensive, I don't remember calling out "roomagic" in my post.

                    It's not, but you accomplish nothing but trying to reinforce the very dangerous idea that she is "normal" size. She doesn't need to be shamed, but she needs to lose some or she will die.
                    That's all there is to it.
                    EDIT: As someone who used to be 400lbs, these downvotes prove to me most of you don't know anything about helping fat people.

                    I get that you're just being facetious, but, people live longer when they're healthier. People who lose weight are healthier. Ergo, losing weight makes you live longer.

                    And yet the top comment is a fat joke.. how hypocritical.
                    Btw, not advocating for this one. Throw some downvotes up there, too.
                    Edit: I was referring to the downvoters as hypocrites, not the poster. I guess it made sense in my head.

                          Maybe so, but it isn't unfair to assume most people who read the second comment read the first.

                          She isn't even that fat, and anyway if her husband's marrying her he obviously is clearly in love with her, despite her heinous crime of being about a stone overweight. Evidently he, unlike you, isn't a shallow scumbag. Do you even have a wife/girlfriend? Have you ever had a girlfriend?

                          I don't think he mentioned anything about the requirement of her being a model. Ever seen Lane Bryant Ads?
                          [–][deleted] 14 points15 points16 points  (0 children)
                          No but he did call her a whale. I used the term model, because in my humble opinion, she isn't even all that overweight. She looks to be a pretty, full figured woman. Nothing wrong with that. Just because she isn't skinny, doesn't mean she's ugly. And even if she IS ugly, that doesn't mean her husband won't love her all the same.
                          EDIT: People who downvote this don't seem to understand how love works. Fuck off, shallow asshats.
