It seems ‘Fat and Fatter’ has screened somewhere in the world. I’m getting a stream of commenters who are all so very concerned that my review of the show is being unfair and that it’s perfectly reasonable to scare people onto the diet treadmill, because don’tcha know that ‘Fat and Fatter’s fat shaming through lurid camera close-ups on bodies merely serves as a public service announcement.
I’m NOT going to publish the comments for two reasons.
Firstly, every single one of the comments fails to meet the criteria of ‘Constructive Debate’, ‘Respectfulness’ and ‘Open Mindedness’ as defined in my Comments Policy, which on this blog is required reading before anyone comments. It’s clearly listed at the top of the page, so there’s no excuse.
Secondly, all the comments basically boil down to the below and add nothing of intelligence to the discussion:
ALL FATTYBOOMSTICKS ARE GONNA DIE. FROM SUGAR AND FAT AND THE LAZY. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS, FATTY. STUPID FATTY. BAD FATTY. GET OFF THE COUCH, FATTY.
So, ‘Fat and Fatter’ viewers, if you want your comment to appear on this blog, read the Comments Policy and don’t spout fat hate.
If only some of them take the time to read the rest of the blogs here, they might benefit from the concepts explored and live life less judgemental. That would be a plus :-)
Hi I am so happy that there are people like you out here. I am overweight and I suffer from mental illness. The disgusting hatred that is spewed IS hate speech and the mentality that it is somehow “okay”. I have problems with my weight in addition to my mental illness and I abuse food as I would heroin.
I read your blog. I loved it.
I live in a country where fat is considered the ugliest thing in the planet, i Live in a country where they are many many problem but if you are size 0 is everything ok in the world. i live in a country where they had to make a law so shops has all sizes i live in a place where the biggest size in shops is size 10 (US) even after the law.
I live in a place where children are starving and scholarity is still an issue, but the image is everything. i live in Argentina (latinamerica) where women are objectified everywhere.
I would love to accept my self like you do. but is really hard.
