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

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
Maybe if you're their parent and can dictate to them but if that's all you do it will never change their ways
"Shaming" can mean anything. I don't think it's good to be mercilessly cruel to people. But I don't think you should lie to people either and tell them that they are healthy and beautiful. Usually when people say 'fat shaming' they include anything that makes them feel negatively about themselves. But we can't protect people from reality.
Nah, culture is stronger than laws. Make a culture of good eating and you've pushed the first domino.
Why do you think the SJWs are doing this shit?
🆙 | **Pyre leveled up!**
Whaaaaaa?
Leveled Up?
It's like I said on the call, if SJWs had their way they would leverage the government to protect fat people from having their feelings hurt.
Yeah whats with the level up
Culture is never stronger than laws, what???
But i never advocated using laws, just to be clear
I said culture is stronger.
Right, what does that even mean?
What context do you say this from? With what evidence?
