oh my -giggle-

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I'd say we need one for the kids, too. But, if those kids have guns, we should not provoke the sensitive little tykes.

[–] forestbeasts@pawb.social 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

A) Fuck ICE.

B) Let's mock them for being evil, not for being fat. There's actual reasons to hate them, going "oh haha look how fat they are" just hurts regular fat people.

I said the same thing some time ago.

Bodyshaming is cool, I guess...

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm running from ICE, I hope it's one of these guys chasing me.

[–] chippydingo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think you may be forgetting the fact that they tend to just shoot people. I can't imagine shooting someone in the back is out of bounds for this fine bunch.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

Valid, but I doubt these guys are very good shots from a distance. They like to murder their victims up close.

Wait, they mean the Gravy Seals? The Fattack Squad? The PlaqueToon? The Blood-clot-hounds? The Infantiletry? The Dive Bummers? The Shillitary? The Krispy Kreme Kops? The Out-of-Breathalyzers?

Have they tried not being fat fascist fucks?

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They can be fat and they can be fucks. Just not the thing in the middle.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

But if they are that, I will insult them for all the things.

Where are the ICE agents? I just see two gigantic icebergs

This meme would be better just like:

It's the same picture?

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Ugh I feel like I could hear him breathing out of his mouth from 10 feet away.

I'm going to do it even more

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Call them whatever you want, but this isn't an actual statement from the TSA.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

We know, but it's a good way to spread the idea of calling the fat larpers ICEbergs.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

oh phew this clear joke almost fooled me

Gravy Seals?

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I would make them run fast.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 20 points 1 day ago

They prefer β€œswimming with their shirt on Americans”

[–] phr@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 day ago (22 children)

body shaming those you dislike still hits those you like.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 day ago (14 children)

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think we should be telling people it's "Okay" to be morbidly obese. It isn't okay. It's extremely dangerous, and a massive resource drain. I don't see a problem with openly mocking and insulting people who have tattooed swastikas on their foreheads, nor do I see a problem with openly mocking and insulting people who weight a full x3 - x4 what their healthy weight is.

Obviously swastikas and obesity are not the same thing. But the point is, I don't think it's a universal taboo to mock people's appearances.

Body positivity should be "It's okay if you're not a super model, there are many body shapes and sizes." Not "It's okay to eat nothing but fast food and twinkies. Your doctor is fat-phobic if they tell you to lose weight."

Well, the bodyshaming is not limited to "morbidly obese" people. https://slrpnk.net/post/35736444

But if you deal with a fascist and your insults of choice is about their appearance... wtf are you doing? There is not better insults for fascists? "Hahaha fat" is the choice? And "fat" jokes hit all "fat" people, not only the "morbidly obese". Body dysmorphia is real. People with eating disorders tend to think that they are fat.

Also I haven't seen a lot of mocking of smokers but the number of smokers is going down... lack of mockery is no issue. People just want to be allowed to be cruel.

And where is the mockery for joining ice? Or do we want them to get fit, instead of stop being part of ice?

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You're not wrong. Id add tho that there's a mental health component to obesity that I think makes it more akin to substance abuse than forehead tattoos. But we dont tell people that its OK that they're raging alcoholics, generally, and conversely, maybe interventions would help the morbidly obese, but we don't do them.

So I don't disagree with you, but i dont think making fun of fat people is cool, which is what body shaming really is when youre name calling the Gravy Seals.

[–] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

I actually fully agree with you, and the point about the alcoholics is quite pertinent. We don't tell alcoholics they don't need to change, and we also mock them for being self destructive.

I also fully agree that mocking does not lead to change, encouragement and support does. However, LACK of mocking leads to normalization. I think support and condemnation are 2 sides of the same coin. We should be supporting those who need it, and condemning those who arrogantly refuse.

And I may be conflating the 2, but I am quite confident that most of these obese ICE racists have no desire to better themselves.

Likely too much nuance to matter, but in this case, the shame is relative to a fitness expectation for a certain kind of work, not relative to the expectations of wider society.

There are exceptions to every rule. In this case, this is a huge exception.
