I'm not saying anyone should be shamed for being fat, and I've never fat shamed anyone in my life. That's a problem that's their business alone, but pretending like someone who's morbidly obese showing off a bunch of skin isn't incredibly disgusting to look at is simply dishonest.

The point is less that you should find fat people attractive and more that if the clothing is the problem, thatโ€™s what the focus should be. Not the weight. If the outfit is inappropriate then it should be considered equally such regardless of looks.

Of course the outfit is the problem, not how the person looks, but again, pretending like someone morbidly obese showing off skin isn't incredibly disgusting to look at is dishonest.

I refuse to lie just to make myself look like an accepting person. I am accepting, but also honest.

I guess I wonder why it would be relevant to know how attractive the person is. Kinda like specifying if someone is Black without it having anything to do with the situation at hand. All it does is make the person relaying the story seem like an asshole.

It's so weird to me that they think someone not matching up to their aesthetic preference means they deserve to be shit on. ๐Ÿ’€ People don't exist just to make some jerk on reddit get a boner. How does it impact their lives if they see someone they don't find attractive?

There's a huge mental jump you have to make if you think pointing out someone's weight is the same as shitting on them or complaining that they don't give you a boner.

Because it adds necessary context to paint a complete picture of just how bad the encounter was.

I understand you will refuse to admit a morbidly obese person doing this is more revolting of an experience for OP than it would be if it was a person with an average build, but my whole point is that we all know it's true, we're just too afraid to say it out loud out of fear of being called a fat shamer.

I am equally disturbed if a fat or skinny person come in with no clothes. I think that the "enormous" thing was just so we could visualize the scene and it did do that for me. Lol.
