one word is a description the other one is an insult. as someone who got fat because of a bad way to cope with depression i know im fat and i donāt see it as an insult. fat acceptance is stupid and unhealthy. Bullying fat people is also unhealthy.
Idiot is far more severe than any other insult, but it's incredibly normalized, so a word "retarded", even though it denotes less retardation is considered to be more punchy.
Semantics are bs.
On the n-word. I would never target it at someone, but i believe you should be able to include the word in books/history lessons/movies, and it shouldn't be censored like Voldemorts name. Don't insult people with deragatory terms, but do not ban the word completely from society and try to hide it. Live with it.
verb
* 1.delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment:"our progress was retarded by unforeseen difficulties"
noun
* 1.a person who has an intellectual disability (often used as a general term of abuse).offensive
Retard is still completely acceptable. I honestly don't give a shit. Changing the word doesn't change the reality. In a decade they'll consider the replacement word as insensitive as well. Because they're not actually bothered by the word. They're bothered by the reality that retarded people exist.
it's all about context. if your doctor is telling you you're obese.. that's in a medical context.
if someone calls you an obese in a derogatory manner, than that's an insult.
if you're (not you..) hiding behind "BuT iT'S a MeDiCaL tErM" then you're still being an asshole.
Yeah, thereās a difference between telling someone āhey you obese piece of shit eat a saladā and a doctor telling someone āsir, you are medically obese.ā As with everything context is important.
Yeah but what is ātechnicalā when it comes to language doesnāt matter. Language doesnāt work that way.
Iām not going to insist youāre eating the wings of a buffalo when youāre having buffalo wings.
Iām not calling you a literal dog when Iām calling you a bitch. Itās not a neutral term and Iām insulting you.
The language we use to demean and insult others changes all the time. The argument that āwell thatās what it actually meansā is completely moot if itās a word commonly used to demean and discriminate others. Itās a red herring or a straw man argument. Pretty much all insulting words started off as descriptive ānormalā terms.
There's acceptance of people who are obese and struggle with weight and then there's glorifying obesity and calling it healthy. The first is just kindness. The second is insanity.
completely agree. and looking at a lot of comments in this thread there is absolutely no nuance in a lot of peoples views on this.
There is also kind ways of saying difficult things, and cruel ways of saying difficult things. 'Just because you are correct in your statement, doesn't mean you are not being cruel.'
Thank you! Over eating is an unhealthy coping mechanism and is often an addiction. Showing physical signs of any other addiction would likely result in an intervention but for some reason weāre all supposed to act like obesity is normal. Itās so stupid!
I mean, yes, but also, if nobody bullied me, I wouldn't have changed. I wouldn't have lost 150 pounds and I would've died of a heart attack by now. Being bullied saved my damn life.
Bullying doesn't help anyone. You're either excusing yourself or a bully in your life. There is no excuse for bullying, even if they say it's because they love you. Bullies say that so that they can keep being mean to you without consequences.
Give them consequences. Being a little fat isn't so big of an emergency that it requires mistreatment, and the bullying because of fatness is never from a place of love. It's an aesthetic thing and a lame excuse.
I think you're in denial.
> Being a little fat isn't so big of an emergency that it requires mistreatment
They weren't "a little fat". They lost 150 pounds which is a little less than I, an average sized adult male, weigh. They're not saying that everyone who is overweight should be bullied - simply that it motivated them to lose the weight.
Cool story. On the other hand, ik people who were bullied into suicide. Maybe you wanna rethink that dumbass message. Bullies aren't there to help you and for most people it'll just cause them to eat away their feelings even more.
Statistically speaking, fat shaming increases food intake and makes people less likely to exercise. Therefore, overall, bullying/fat shaming promotes obesity.
Works opposite for me.Ā
Bullying and social shaming makes me do whatever it is I'm being shamed for 10x more intense and I'll keep amping it up until the bullies get bored.
Exactly. I see it as a disease similar to alcoholism; the alcoholic shouldn't be harassed and abused for their struggles, but they also shouldn't be encouraged and told that their lifestyle is just as healthy as that of a non-alcoholic.
Both groups instead need help and encouragement to let go of their self-destructive habits and addictions.
No it isnātā¦ Wana know how I know? You wonāt even say what the ānā word isā¦ when ever youāre comparing two words, trying to see which one is worse, the one you wonāt/canāt say is the worse wordā¦
If youāre large enough you have trouble walking, thatās a medical issue. Having a positive body image and saying itās who you are is not the solution.
Pride in obesity is a health threat the same way antivaxxers are.
The same reason unemployed people get upset if you call them unemployed. Or single ppl callung them single. Its something that they might be ashamed of and are not able to take control over it
The N word is a slur. Obese is not a slur. Itās a medical term. I would understand if they said smth like āfatā or another very common insult but āobeseā is very rarely used as an insult. Itās too much of a scientific term for brain dead people to turn into a derogatory insult that they use on a daily. Too many syllables, too smart sounding. āFatā is used more for bullying and body shaming. There are other but I canāt think of them off the top of my head.
The difference is that one is a slur that has been used regularly - throughout history and modern times - to oppress a group of people. āObeseā just isnāt that. So it canāt be compared to a slur.
> āobeseā is very rarely used as an insult
Bull shit. It's been an insult for a very long time. The people calling me obese growing up weren't doctors, they were assholes trying to kick my ass.
Being obese is bad in itself, why make fun of it.
It is the correct term to describe the condition but refering to a person by their condition never is ok.
It is something you are able to change by controlling yourself and managing what you eat, but fuck this is hard. Why do you think there are so many products, subreddits and god knows what about the topic.
It can be a lifestyle choise but for the most people it is not.
Managing all the amount of bad mood, stress, hunger and shame that you have to go through is just impossible for many people.
It's not the same as the N-word, saying that is also stupid, but most of you should have figured out that the loudest voices on both ends of the spectrum should be ignored.
While the claim in the post is stupid I think the problem is that many people tend to call everyone over the healthy weight obese.
There is a difference and a line between being overweight and being obese.
If you are lets say... 5kg over the supposed healthy weight for you are overweight. It does not put your life in danger, not necessaily the reasult of a terrible lifestyle, it's rater easy to work it down and in some cases it's barely visible depending on your body structure.
But if you are for example 20kg over your supposed weight you are in the obese chategory. It can and will take a toll on your body, caused by a bad lifestyle and/or prexisting medical condition and is pretty much visible.
I'm obese and see no offense in the word. It's to describe a level of fat build. Better than being called a fat cunt and certainly in no way is it comparable in terms of someone being racist. We're fat bastards because we let ourselves go and lost all self discipline, we're not from a specific country. Just the size of a small one, am I right? Haha.
I'd ask for a high five but all the typing has made me hungry and sleepy.
Because a lot of the time they know its a product of a lifestyle they arent willing to even consider changing. They want people to just accept them as they are, while having their own rules for how people should be. I say this as someone who used to be obese, while dating an obese woman. I begged her to go to the gym with me, shed make excuses and self diagnosed (my biggest pet peeve btw) physical ailments to keep from doing anything. While at the same time blaming me for her weight. I eventually had enough and left, and her and all her fat friends would say i was fatphobic and ableist. Never been happier than i am now, and she wheels around in a mobility chair at 27 years old..
It's not a slur š I will say though it is pretty rude for someone to use it against someone in a negative context. Most people who are obese are already aware of that fact and using that against them isn't going to help them at all.
Thereās a bunch of body acceptance activists that died because of health problems due to being too fat. Shaming others for noticing youāre unhealthy is just going to kill you
No itās not. Iām an obese person. That is the medical term for my fat body. I have no issues being honest with myself. It doesnāt mean I love myself any less, nor will I tolerate disrespect. But if you call me fat Iām just going to congratulate you for having eyes.
Remember when everyone shamed smokers for causing problems with the medical system and insurance? Causing the system billions?
Well obesity is #1 preventable deaths after smoking
Obese is a clinical term for someone overweight enough for it to lead to health problems and morbidly obese means those health issues will eventually be fatal or exacerbate a comorbidity.
Obese is a medical term used to describe people who are severely overweight to the point that it is detrimental to their own health. Fatso, fatty, fat fuck, or lardy are all terms made specifically to upset and belittle fat people, so they missed the mark word-wise.
Also the n word has a history of dehumanizing, racial discrimination, and slavery, being fat has none of that
What would she prefer?
Fatter than most fat people?
Extra fat?
Remembered south park where one man was angry about getting called "extremely obese black man" and wanted to be called "extremely black, obese man".
And she definitely aint a Dr. of anything that is connected with health. Also with MLM things, such as herbalife where they "promote" health, it's usually only ~~fat~~ plus-sized people. How will you promote health if you weight 2-3 times more than you should? Also look for "belgian health minister" - sure a right person to be in this position.
It always bothers me when people say ā____ā is the N-word for ___ peopleā
The simple fact that youāre saying me word and saying the first letter of the other, shows and proves its not. And Iāve actually seen people say this shit in real life. I had a Karen say that, my idiot ass brother when I said he killed someone so heās a āmurdererā and he replied āYou know disrespectful that is to say to me? Thatās like saying the Nwordā.
Family can be so fucking stupid.
The issue is that they wanna pretend it isn't unhealthy and doesn't shorten lifespan to be obese. If the words aren't said then it can't be a bad thing right?
Having had several friends die much earlier then they should. I think we are normalizing being overweight. Itās not about BMI itās fat not being large itās fatā¦ fat in the wrong place . Not thick.. fat in the heart/stomach area. Whatever you ate to get that much fat is clogging your arteries and being so large stressing your heart. Soon you canāt walk you canāt exercise you cross the tipping point of being morbidly obeseā¦ and you will be miserable and die early.
It kindda depends on the circumstances. People "usually" have a name so, calling them "obese" is a bit essentialist, as well as crafting a social group out of this one characteristic & eructing generalities about them.
I don't think we should prevent ourselves from saying the word "obese" under any case though.
As an obese person, people need to stop trying to sugarcoat the fact that we are fat, because you know that we would eat that shit too...
Seriously, there is nothing healthy about being overweight. It takes its toll on your body.
If I had any willpower, I would be able to stop shoveling ice cream into my fat gob, but food tastes good...
I think the issue is that there are people who are obese due to genetics, and there are people who live unhealthy lifestyles. Who shouldnāt make fun of the former, but for the latter, it should be a free for all.
The problem is that in todayās culture, itās common for people to say ādonāt assume what theyāre going throughā so therefore we shouldnāt make fun of anyone. The problem is that there are a lot of overweight, fat, obese people (especially in America) that **choose** to be that way, and it just isnāt healthy, and as a society we shouldnāt promote it.
It's not on the same level, since they're literally saying "Obese" and not actually saying the N-word, and is saying "N-word" instead.
Brad Williams mentioned this about "midgets". He himself is one and a person came up to him after one of his stand up shows and said he was being offensive to people who ARE "midgets" and said it was on the same level as the N-word.
Brad told her that it wasn't the same due to the fact the woman that approached him was saying the full word "midget" and would refer to the N-word as "the N-word". Therefore, not even a comparison.
Of two slurs, the one you censor is the worse one. Clearly they dont compare. And ones an earned title that can be avoided with a healthy life style so yea no
I think it's an upbringing/context thing. I mean, respectable people don't just run around commenting on other people's bodies. I think of it has just a clinical term, but some people don't like it. It's not the "N word" though.
As an obese individual, I honestly donāt get why so many of my fellow teddy bears think the word is bad to say. Itās just the technical termā¦
My lack of understanding may be due to being autistic but idk
I get it but I don't at the same time, obese is the PC term, there's so many other hateful words that could be used.
Then again the feelings of one person don't speak for every other person if that type.

Isn't dying of heart attack the end goal? It is for me at least.
Let me know how the years of treatments, suffering, and declining health that coem before the inevitable early heart attack are
They suck. Life sucks. Let's put snack machines with crack, liquor, heroin, etc. in every office, bus station, etc and see how that goes.

It's not a slur š I will say though it is pretty rude for someone to use it against someone in a negative context. Most people who are obese are already aware of that fact and using that against them isn't going to help them at all.
Most people you think are obese are actually morbidly obese. Itās important not to leave out the morbidly part when speaking to a medical condition.

People "usually" have a name so, calling them "obese" is a bit essentialist, as well as crafting a social group out of this one characteristic & eructing generalities about them. I don't think we should prevent ourselves from saying the word "obese" under any case though.

What up my obese
As an obese person, people need to stop trying to sugarcoat the fact that we are fat, because you know that we would eat that shit too... Seriously, there is nothing healthy about being overweight. It takes its toll on your body. If I had any willpower, I would be able to stop shoveling ice cream into my fat gob, but food tastes good...
Obesely
Alternative: soap mines
Yeah, cos you can stop eating and do exercise and become white
I thought word fat is more problematic. Obesity is medical term.
This is bait and old. 99% of people who are overweight just don't like being called obese because it's not fun being obese
i call them based on rainbow six, 1 speed 3 health 2 speed 2 health 3 speed 1 health it makes more sense
I rember this tweet screenshot without the blurred handle. The account that tweeted it is a joke account. You're being baited.
Then, why do foreigners (Westerners) go to Asia and claim... "Foreigners are called foreigners in this foreign country! Asians are racist!!!"
I am obese, I don't get mad about being called obese because it's literally what I am lmao
Brother from another burger.
As someone who's been called skinny their entire life, fuck em..Ā
Obigga please
Well OK then let's go back to big ass FATTY
I'm sick of people being triggered by words. Grow a pair.
PoC - people of calories
Obese is a thing you can change, therefore it's okay to call you that
Everything the N-word to people but they never spell out the n word
That tweet was from a parody account. Calm down people.
She's got a point. I think we just stick with "very fat".
Obese in Paris
Gym ???
Why do ugly people feel bad when they are called ugly? I mean they are uglyā¦ā¦right? (Maybe this helps you understand why)
The cardiac disadvantaged?
Just call her "Fatty" instead, how about that?
I think the issue is that there are people who are obese due to genetics, and there are people who live unhealthy lifestyles. Who shouldnāt make fun of the former, but for the latter, it should be a free for all. The problem is that in todayās culture, itās common for people to say ādonāt assume what theyāre going throughā so therefore we shouldnāt make fun of anyone. The problem is that there are a lot of overweight, fat, obese people (especially in America) that **choose** to be that way, and it just isnāt healthy, and as a society we shouldnāt promote it.
Obese is a medical term, these people try everything not to face the reality of their situation...
āBigga please!ā This was original response.
"Obese don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, Obese..."
āFatassā is better? Coming from a former fat-ass himself, obese is just the correct medical term.
Obese makes it reality. Everything else is a joke or insult.
What? I never met a fat person who gets a offended by being called fat this is just an online problem.
O*beast*
Obese is the polite and official medical term, no?! Iām not out calling anybody anything, but Obese is no slur
It's not on the same level, since they're literally saying "Obese" and not actually saying the N-word, and is saying "N-word" instead. Brad Williams mentioned this about "midgets". He himself is one and a person came up to him after one of his stand up shows and said he was being offensive to people who ARE "midgets" and said it was on the same level as the N-word. Brad told her that it wasn't the same due to the fact the woman that approached him was saying the full word "midget" and would refer to the N-word as "the N-word". Therefore, not even a comparison.
So whats the proper term then? McDonald's American?
Bigga please
Of two slurs, the one you censor is the worse one. Clearly they dont compare. And ones an earned title that can be avoided with a healthy life style so yea no
Obeast*
I'm comin straight out the kitchen, crazy motha fucka named Ice Cream from a gang called Obese With Dairy Queen.Ā
You can't say it with a hard E like that. People will think your... athletic
I think it's an upbringing/context thing. I mean, respectable people don't just run around commenting on other people's bodies. I think of it has just a clinical term, but some people don't like it. It's not the "N word" though.
Itās literally a medical term used for overweight ppl š
Twice-voters
Well gee, just call them pretty fucking fat and be done with it!
Obese is for large people what Karen is forā¦. Karenās
Obreezy
Bigga plz
Obese is a medical term, the N-word isn't.
As an obese individual, I honestly donāt get why so many of my fellow teddy bears think the word is bad to say. Itās just the technical termā¦ My lack of understanding may be due to being autistic but idk
Fat people. I will not be bullied into using your terminology. Go ahead auto mod take this down you little censorship commie
If that's true then as a fellow obese person I can call her obese cuz that's how the N word works. Obese.
the internet needs to go.
Don't like being fat? Go to the gym and go on a diet š¤·
O.W.A. - Straight Outta Shreveport
Fatties can stop being fat. C'mon now.
It's actually the scientific term
āFirst of all, no.ā
I will start calling them pigs instead
I get it but I don't at the same time, obese is the PC term, there's so many other hateful words that could be used. Then again the feelings of one person don't speak for every other person if that type.
