Yeah, plenty of people like fat people. And plenty of people choose to be or to become fat.

I was gonna say you’re not fatphobic, since you don’t talk about this stuff unprompted. But when prompted, you started assuming everyone feels the same way as you and dismissing the diversity of different people’s preferences in a way I don’t like. I think you should be more open minded. Not everyone is the same as you.

Only if you post memes about how much you’re not interested in them. Do you post memes about how you don’t like fat people?

Maybe there’s less racism in your country than where I’m from. I’m from Australia and that’s what I’ve been told by the black people I know around here.

I want to give you a demonstration of what it feels like to be mocked for your appearance like this woman was mocked by this man, but it would be mean so I don’t think I will.

Well he’s going into public to make jokes to strangers about how he doesn’t like this woman’s appearance.

Right now you’re operating at level 1 social skill, which is analysing the content of the message.

You’ve got to get to level 2, which is analysing the context of the message. Where, when, and how it’s said, and the fact that the speaker felt the need to say it at all.

I thought the people being kicked in that example are Republican politicians

Well the answer to racism (even casual, covert racism) isn’t to be more racist in reply. It’s to not be racist.

I can imagine a much better version of this comic where an African boy doesn’t want to eat his veggies, and mum says “You should be grateful for your veggies. There are lots of children in America who don’t have any food.” That would be funny.

Oil is hydrophobic because it’s repulsed by water. I suspect OP is repulsed by fat people. I also suspect he thinks badly of fat people.

Also, black people can definitely be racist. I’ve been told that most black people have had the experience of scrubbing their skin with soap and water as a child, trying to rub the blackness off. That’s called internalised racism, and it’s a big problem. In a society that trains people to be racist, even black people can be affected.

I feel like OP is probably racist and fatphobic. I hope he was humiliated by this.

I dunno chief, I think these might be some patronising and ultimately harmful stereotypes about African people.

This is why trains are awesome.

And you’re shilling for OpenAI.

RE: the original comic

I think the attitude of “oh, if you’re a maladjusted man, you need to go get a girlfriend” is a toxic social expectation and one of the major causes of the male loneliness epidemic.

There are a lot of sad men in the world who have very solvable emotional problems. But instead of working on self improvement (exercise, mindfulness, therapy, getting friends, starting a hobby), they go looking for a girlfriend to fix them. The girls say “this isn’t the 1950s, buckaroo, I don’t have to be your mummy anymore”, and reject the men. Then the men become incels and go online looking for male validation. They find the manosphere, and people like Tate say “exercise, eat good, practice grindfulness, and hate women”. And since some of that advice is good, the men feel better and follow the bad parts too, like hating women. Which just makes them more bitter and lonelier people.

So, uhhhh, cultist who wants a demon to kill your rival. You should go for a walk, have a nutritious meal, do something that makes you happy, think about your place in the universe, and make a new friend. You don’t need a girlfriend to practice healthy living, and you certainly don’t need to hate women to practice healthy living.
