The true AUG is white cishet libs so enamored with the romance of belonging to an out group they'll invent reasons why they should while enjoying every privilege of being a white cishet lib. But we should probably pull up.

It's that, combined with the fact that they seem infuriatingly oblivious to the fact that they're one of the few people in this world who even have the opportunity to eat themselves into an early grave. So instead of looking for opportunities to limit their consumption (and perhaps leave some resources for the ~6.5 billion or so folks who aren't as fortunate), they instead position themselves as oppressed to distract themselves (and those who buy into their nonsense) from the reality that they're one of the luckiest motherfuckers walking.

It's privilege taken to a pathetic, disgusting extreme.

There are obese people that are straight up homeless though. I wouldn't consider them to be lucky.

I'm giving serious consideration to making the next installation of this thread "hard mode" where content has to result from people's conscious decisions, so that we can avoid two page derails about whether or not fat people are okay.

I mostly wondering which field of science fat studies falls under.

You could make a case for either medicine, nutritional science, philosophy, or the culinary arts.

Given how wacky and brilliant they are, performing arts?

I'm not sure if you're trying to be cute right right now, but if you guys sincerely would prefer to have the thread shut down, I can do that. I think it's a really passive-aggressive way to get your point across, but I'm not married to the idea of modding this thread anymore, so if that's the general consensus I'm happy to close it.

I think you're getting bent out of shape over a little derail honestly, and threatening to take the ball and go home is a pretty lame response to it all.

E: I don't think anybody is trying to passive aggressively work some conspiracy to suggest you close a thread you clearly don't even want to mod anymore. People are making jokes on a comedy forum hth

As someone who enjoys this thread between the pseudo-intellectual derails, could I suggest instead of closing it or putting up with them, just slapping the culprits? It's the same few people making GBS threads things up for page after page while they argue some boring tripe, give them a few days break and let the thread go on.

Or are you saying you're tired of having to clean their messes up in the first place?

You're absolutely right, actually, on several counts, but I guess the most pertinent one being that I don't particularly want to mod this thread anymore. Sorry, kids. It's been "fun".

What's going to happen is I am going to close it, and when I feel the energy to restart it, I will do so. It will be under even more strict, possibly arbitrary, rules. But right now, I need a break from the derail cycles, and since I am the only mod who'll touch it for the time being, that's how that's going to happen.
