This is a stupid derail. Post some content.

"Broke up my engagement. I should go on Imgur."



I don't know about you, but I sometimes have a hard time believing people who post on Imgur saying things like "I'm black but BLM is stupid" or "I'm female, and I don't need feminism". Even if they're telling the truth, Imgur always seems like a weird place to post about complex social issues, because their userbase seems to be unable to have nuanced conversations about poo poo. Like, this one is all "WE'RE ALL ONE RACE: THE HUMAN RACE"

or this:

You see I agree with you in that I don't support the BLM movement, but my reason is that I don't think black lives matter.

That blows. Honestly. Both for the guy and his boyfriend, but also whenever I get tired of people parroting "panic attacks aren't a weakness!" (Like, DUH, I know) I forget there's people who legitimately think that having an emotion is a sign of being a pussy. God, how depressing.

Let's take a look at infographics today
http://imgur.com/gallery/B50nl3U

"Know what it really costs to get lean"

Here's the downsides of training for bodybuilding or very low body fat percentages:
- Have difficulty socializing
- May miss out on fun events with family & friends
- It's a big commitment
- Hyper-focus on diet and eating leads to disorganised eating
- Time required for exercise may crowd out everything else.

It just says unhealthy instead of actually going into what would make it unhealthy. Then it just goes on a huge rear end assumption that you lose all social life because of this.

There is a link at the bottom saying to follow it for a breakdown of what the infographic means, so maybe its addressed there?

Yeah, I don't really get the Unhealthy tag there. There's no real downside, aside from the time commitment, and most people who are that engaged in their physical fitness either do it as part of their job or as their primary hobby.

Edit: Oh, ha. I only skimmed it, but it looks like the original article makes no major claims about what's healthy or unhealthy other than to point out that fat and lazy is bad for you. It's mostly just an assessment of the various levels of fitness and how much work it takes to attain them. It does still call the highest level of fitness unhealthy, but context is important!

Based on what I have read, the extreme end of fit IS actually unhealthy. To get that ripped you have to do things to your body that will destroy it as certainly than being a fat slob(usually kidney failure, iirc).

That's literally over-training, like two sessions a day would kill anybody and a lot of folks who do train don't suggest it because you'll destroy yourself. Rest is very important.

That said you do not need to over-train like that to get that lean. Most of it is proper nutrition control.

Besides why would that info not actually be on the infographic instead of it loosely saying it's unhealthy and then having several points going "Your friends and family will fade out of existence should you train"

Did you look at the whole thing? Because there is a huge section of various levels of lean that are listed as healthy, and only the extreme overtrained people(bodybuilders on show day) are in the unhealthy section.

Calling a woman fat and/or ugly (with or without evidence to back it up) is the go-to insult for certain internet dudes if they don't like what that woman is saying or doing.

While I agree with you to a certain degree, there's just not the same air of "I wouldn't put my dick in you, therefore your argument is invalid" as there is if the offender is a woman.

Neckbeard refers to a pretty specific stereotype of guys who think bad facial hair looks good. The insults toward women have a subtext that the guys saying it wouldn't want to gently caress them and they're therefore worthless. You could argue that neckbeard maybe has a similar implication, but it isn't anywhere near as blatant.

Oh man, they'd love to be like 4chan. They're such great trolls you guys! And they actually have a sense of humor unlike those drat tumblrites!

Which strikes me as a lovely comparison because 4chan has that one- can't remember- nazi or white supremacy containment board, Imgur dumps content on you every time you go to their website and with tumblr you have to actively be searching for people if you want anything to come across your homepage.

I'm going to skip to the end of this argument: Judging women based on their appearance is more wrong than judging men based on their appearance because you're upholding the pressure put on women to look better than their best. Men are not required to be attractive nearly as much as women, so while it's still lovely to base anyone's worth off their physical attractiveness, it's worse to do it to women.
