Quote:People were offended by weight jokes... Really?Oh, really? Please show your statistical data, correcting for clustering.
i'm pretty sure at least 90% of fat people's weight can be faulted to themselves.
Quote:And nobody can say ''there's nothing wrong with being fat!'' There is. It's unhealthy... don't you smoke?
People can do whatever the fuck they like with their bodies and they shouldn't be shamed for it. How does it affect you that I'm overweight?
Also again: STRAW MEN ALL UP IN HERE.
I didn't say to use insults that offend nobody
that would negate the point of an insult
but an insult that reinforces the idea that certain minorities are wrong and worthy of insult is worse; you're not just insulting that one person, you're insulting absolutely everyone who belongs to that minority. It's about exerting power over an underprivileged group.
A word's history doesn't stop existing, because there's a root cause for its usage as an insult. In the case of moron it's feeding into the idea that being someone with a disability is something worthy of insult.
Feel free to call me a whiny piece of shit. Call me a whiny fat mental piece of shit, and you're being a bigot.
