I still don't understand why Kickstarter suspended this ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mde/kstv-season-1-where-idiots-go-to-spend-money-on-cr )and it genuinely bothers me

I would suspect it involves this:

an extended fan-kicking video where I threaten a person of your choice for quite a long amount of time

Even as a joke, that probably doesn't fly.

Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you everything right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think?
It also may have to do with the fact that Sam Hyde is an unfunny hack who admitted to being behind a scam kickstarter before.

It's too bad, the Kickstarter videos he did were pretty funny. http://youtu.be/EOWCzFYkmHs
The joke probably would've worn thin after 24 episodes though.

Fattitude: A Body Positive Documentary: The Sam Hyde Director's Commentary Edition

I guarantee to really hit below the belt and show these Fattudes no quarter. (It'll just be the documentary plus me slinging middle-school insults at the screen).

I really hope Sam Hyde discovers weed and handjobs within the next few months because that dude seems like he's going to break at any minute. He's got potential and drive, I think he could really be successful if he wasn't just so hideously angry all the goddamn time.

Actually when you get someone mad enough at you they stalk you and harass you, and you call it on on them, and they go into, "well, but" mode is even funnier. Stalkers are cowards at heart, most of them anyways.

Men actually get paid more at an average weight compared to skinny or obese men. Women, however basically get paid more if they weighed less (though anorexics may or may not be factored).

Anorexic isn't a body weight, it's an eating disorder. The study would have no idea if it included people with anorexia unless it asked.

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

Just like how it makes sense to charge urbans more for living in white neighborhoods to make up for wrecking are property value!

Haha you think being fat is the same as being a minority, are you a fat white person, a fat minority or just a retard? either way your racist for saying minorities could in any way be comparable to fats

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:

it didn't used to be but now they started to think its healthy so no we have to treat them the same way as the pro-ana movement so now not being a hater is complicit in a movement where people deliberately gently caress up their lives and deny that what they are doing is real hosed and letting that rhetoric slide is way worse than being mean. I don't like being an rear end in a top hat to these people but when they insist that they are healthy despite the excess adipose tissue beginning to necrotize then feeding the delusion that being fat will not slowly kill you is the cruelest thing you could possibly do. Stalking is of course unacceptable but in extreme cases unavoidable, sometime it is just not possible to keep a fat out of your sight

Being a hater is also a terrible way to handle pro-ana. Which isn't a movement, it's just mentally ill people meeting online to talk to people who are going through the same things. Kind of like SA.

You can avoid 'feeding the delusion' without hating on people. Your hatred makes you look irrational, and looking irrational actually gives fuel to them. So, in addition to hurting people, you're doing even more damage to your own cause by hating.

Doubt it, these people consider medical science to be fat hating and the medical establishment gives em' so much hate that my bad posting is nothing. Maybe you think of hating as punching a fat person in the face or yelling at horrible poo poo at people you have never met but the frame has shifted so it is now considered mean to point out being fat is bad for you. One other thing to make this clear here, I hate fat, not fat people. Case in point, I ended up marrying a fat person cause I'm a big gay romantic who is not big on looks so whatever. I hated the fat cause he was on blood-pressure medicine at age 25. He did eventually lose weight when his social circle went from people saying its OK to be fat to people who told him he was going to die if he didn't do anything about it (he graduated college and started working in a hospital). Now he may even be able to go off the blood pressure meds. I helped vanquish the fat by getting rid of candy and soda. According to fat acceptance advocates this is a unhealthy life decision.

You are still the guy who said that being fat is analogous to being a minority, stop bringing up up other bad posts they are still better than yours. Also in 2006 I was fat, gay and a minority. Guess which one of those things has changed.
