TRUMP GOT COVID

24 days until trump becomes a "lame duck." 102 until he rides his helicopter back to mar-a-lago for the last time.

If he makes it that long.

the whole being a fat tub of lard thing

Still holding out for the day this shit is unacceptable on ILX

cue ilx poll "is it ok to bodyshame fascists"

onimo n BN otm

burrito just begging for another ban afaict

otm but hypocritical - I've been guilty of it myself especially wrt out of shape footballers but it is lazy (and cruel to innocent bystanders) to just use it as a go-to insult when someone you object to happens to be big

“People are going to get immediately better like I did. I mean, I feel better now than I did two weeks ago. It’s crazy,” Trump told Rush Limbaugh on his talk radio show Friday, a day when more than 850 Americans died of the coronavirus. “And I recovered immediately, almost immediately. I might not have recovered at all from covid.”

The Rush Limbaugh Show averages 15.5 million listeners every week, and i'm pretty sure they beat that number for the ‘largest radio rally in history’ yesterday.

My favorite Peter, Paul and Mary song

I don't know who made the anti-fat post but I fp'd it on sight as I do all such posts & I hope this ban is actually permanent, not just a "pause", because assholes like that poster don't ever change their minds about hating fat people.

(retweeting hadrian's youtubes does not constitute an endorsement)

Hadrian, it needs to be a youtube.com url. The foreshortened ones do not work.

I tried the long ones first...and backed out the -s too!

ban seems way harsh imo...body shaming is obv. ugly but we can get there by discouraging it...and as endlessly debated a valid argument can be made in table-turning e.g. on the body-shamer In Chief

personally I'm not clear on where to draw the lines btw Hitler's ball/Trump's corset/and somebody as relentlessly cruel as Christie's obesity

it suffices to lambast the cruelty in these cases, the body-shaming is spurious and prurient

imo there are so many other ways to talk about people you don't like, potentially millions

bodyshaming is usually a bellwether for other shitty behavior, imo

I'm going on the assumption that burrito doesn't even dislike Christie, just wanted to be transgressive here. One hallmark of the Minor Troll. (AC 11, HP 8, speed 30, etc)

Permitting or excusing body-shaming drives people away from ILX, and attracts bullies.

Please don't call the president crazy since it could offend actual paranoid schizophrenics.

this but unironically

Please choose better words to use instead of making light of people with digestive ailments.

And whatever you do, please do not make light of the photo above.

is it ok to shame people for living in arkansas

Absolutely.

what if it was just you

for real though shaming people for their behavior is always a better way to go

How about thoughts and beliefs?

Pointing out that Chris Christie is a fat fuck and got sick after flouting COVID-19 guidelines is absolutely fair.

I don't see what's so hard to understand

It's making his fatness part of your overall hatred for him. It's making being fat a hateable characteristic.

I occasionally forget about the "right to be fat" thread and think ilx is full of progressive people who hate such singling out. It sometimes lasts weeks instead of days so maybe that's progress.

this wasn't aimed at anyone, btw - i didn't scroll upthread to see the posts that were being referenced

onimo otm i feel like people are just being purposefully mean

I mean, of course they are. This is the same deal when (White) people chomp at the bit to throw dubious racial insults at Candace Owens

They should just go back to wishing people were dead or crippled by infirmity but leave out the (dead) body-shaming. That's mean.

Wishing ill on powerful, bad people is valid, if unsavoury. Calling people out as fat fucks on a board that fat people read is an insensitive dick move.

Permitting or excusing body-shaming drives people away from ILX, and attracts bullies.

Whereas threads full of people wishing someone was dead is like a warm comforting embrace.

no one reading this message board is dead

some ghosts lurk

Neither are the people you lot are wishing were dead. That's how the wishing thing works.
