Fat news anchor rages at email

e-mail - i think - in this case was a bit rude. but the whole thing is just an awkward upleasent affair for all parties i think.

Also turning off the Youtube comments isn't a victory saying that the uploaders are too sensitive or can't handle it, it's the fact that comment sections virtually anywhere are a cess pool for the lowest common denominator.

i love Youtube, lots of great documentaries and debates are uploaded on there, but even on some where say... WWII in HD documentary, the comments are all about how the Holocaust was faked, or debating whether the Jews asked for it.

so prove me wrong that the vast majority of the comment sections don't turn into such nonsense.

[QUOTE="EasyStreet"][QUOTE="Ugalde-"]She needs to lose some weight.Bloodseeker23

I agree that obesity is usually unhealthy (in reality, some fat people are very healthy despite their excess fat), but the email she received was definitely rude. Encouraging fat people to hate themselves for being fat does way more harm than good. And that email was unnecessary in the first place; I'm pretty sure that most fat people are aware that they're fat. The last thing they want to told to an obsessive degree is that they're fat because that reminder does nothing but engender self-hatred. As someone who used to deal with constant shaming and self-hatred due to my slightly overweight physique, I can't help but take the woman's side here. ghoklebutter

She needs to take her medical condition seriously. She currently isn't,Nibroc420

You have no reason to believe that. Just because she's still obese doesn't mean that she's not trying to take care of her condition.

Also, my point stands; shaming someone about their weight is the worst way to encourage them to lose it. It works for some people, but it doesn't work for most, and for the ones it works on, self-hatred and other mental problems are very likely as a result of being pressured and shamed.

I thought she kicked his ass. But then the softy rhetoric came in- schools have always been battlegrounds. The only thing that's changed in the last hundred years is the manner of warfare being engaged in. Before, you used to call a kid fat, but you ran the risk of getting bowled over and sat on. Now, you can just send an email, or a message on Faceyspace. And the fat kid has been taught that there's no reason to hit anyone ever. (And what the hell are school children doing with faceyspace accounts anyway?? Why not just send your kid to school with a "molest me" sign taped to his back?) The problem is that there are no consequences anymore for the bullies. Does anyone remember that video where the fat kid manhandled the sh!t out of the bully? If that happened more often, there'd be less bullies.El_Zo1212o

Confident people don't feel shame.

[QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] She needs to take her medical condition seriously. She currently isn't, and the man who emailed her shamed her for supporting such an unhealthy lifestyle. She's in the public eye, and she's making it seem as though nothing is wrong with being obese. She's turning a blind eye to the fact it's become an epidemic in America. The thing that annoys me the most, is she's went on air and said she didn't like being called a "bad role model", because she has girls of her own. Yet she neglects her health, and gets offended when someone points it out. If she'd only life a healthier life so she could be there for her children.mingmao3046

Being skinny is not a requirement or even remotely necessary as a public news anchor. No one talks about public news anchors in the context of role models. They're just regular people. Seriously, if someone wants to be fat idgaf, and I'm not going to be rude to them over it.

although obesity is largely your own fault, there are other factors that have to be taken into account. regardless, she did nothing to deserve that insult..

...as a public news anchor she should lose weight.mingmao3046

[QUOTE="TacticalDesire"]

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"] she did not "kick his ass". she compared being fat to having a disability. "his words mean nothing to me", and then goes on a 4min rant...mingmao3046

Dude's ugly anyway.

Poor facial structure, and he's a security guard bro. The lawyer thing has been proven incorrect. Also he apologized.
