Is this normal ? really, i'm asking.

Hey, I am not a patreon supporter, however, I don't appear to be on the "show regular" list. Am I just not allowed to talk? If so, it's all good.
BTW, I'm completely new to this Discord thing...
@Deleted User just be sure to not post <#231936127378915328> in the <#231936127378915328> channel until 10 minutes before the call-in show. If you send it too early, your message will be deleted and you won't be considered for the call-in show
Ah. Still a bit confused. But I'll do as is said. Certainly not here to cause trouble.
What about it Tall Derek?

Is it too late to be considered for call in?
yes
you have to get to roll call ten minutes before
hey guys im going to call in right now :3
if you're a peasant it is 😦
They didn't make the point I want to respond to until several minutes into the show
I guess I'll wait till next time
What point was it?
About fat shaming. They read off someone's statement that fat shaming helps people lose weight
I hate to be the SJW but as someone who has lost weight, gained it back and gotten to the planning stage on a suicide attempt, I know that for much of that time, fat shaming would have done me in.
Now I'm not a fat pride guy. I stay home and try to keep my distance, self isolate, try not to take up too much space. But I'm about as big around as that model
Yeah you probably shouldn't shame people into suicide
Is suicide preferable over what it would take to lose weight, or living with the shame of your weight? Those sound like your three options
Understand when I say I lost weight and gained it back, it was 120 pounds
If you lost weight the first time, why do you think it's so hard to do again?
Obviously losing the weight would be best but there was only one time in my life where it was possible. Its like a switch flipped in my head, I started losing the weight then the switch flipped again and I just couldn't get through the day on so few calories anymore.
Its like Flowers to Algernon but with my waistline
It sounds like something happened to you psychologically that is worth delving into
I agree. I'm in counseling partially over that.
I keep trying to work up the nerve to go to Overeaters Anonymous
Why would that be difficult for you?
I just don't like being around people much and it sounds like they get into heavy stuff. I don't want to cry or anything like that
what would you consider a good way of shaming people?
I told myself what I would gain from losing weight and stuck to that/]
Focus on whatever it is thats bothering you, whats fixable. Do they smell? Do they break stuff? Are they take too much space? Do you just not like looking at them?
Look, the answer is to simply encourage a culture of good eating. Attacking people for their private lifestyle is not the way. That's why I don't like the "body positivity" thing. It misses the point, entirely.
Encouraging a culture of good eating doesn't work though
Personally, fat shaming caused me to lose weight to a degree but it's shitty to go through
Oh I completely agree Pyre, the body positivity thing is bogus. That is unhealthy. I'm so glad I'm so averse to SJWism because that is going to screw with people's heads
