martini Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Fatism article on the BBC. "Ms Coupe says the pressure to be thin is the only reason she can think of for her attack." I doubt very much this is true. Of course I do not condone beating up people because they are fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something, pure, about Matt's original though so I'll change to that shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm a qualified fitness trainer and healthier than a lot of my slimmer friends, but all these people see is that I'm larger and jump to conclusions," says Kathryn Szrodecki, who is 18 stone (114kg) and campaigns on behalf of overweight people.

It's a sad world we live in for many reasons. It's sad she is so damn fat, and it's sad she was beaten for no good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think people are looking at this a little wrong. I read this as "nutter attacks woman". Not "an otherwise up-standing member of society attacks tubby woman". A woman in her 30's travelling alone decided to beat up another person. That's not normal! OK she beat up a woman who was overweight, but lets face it, if you're the kind of person that would take it upon yourself to start laying into a random commuter, it's not whether or not the commuter is a large old unit or not that's the problem. I imagine the woman who decided to hand out the can of non-edible whup-ass was going to attack anyone who stood out. My brother has bright blue dreadlocks that come down to the middle of his back. He stands out and as a result he has in the past been attacked. Do we need a specific law to protect poeple with scutty hair? The fact that someone was minding their own business was beaten up is indeed sad, but let's face it, it unfortunately happens to lots of people everyday for lots of different reasons.

This is indeed how it should have been spun. Obese people are a completely different conversation - attacking someone when not defending yourself or for very good reason, is not called acceptable.

benkei Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think people are looking at this a little wrong. I read this as "nutter attacks woman". Not "an otherwise up-standing member of society attacks tubby woman". Agreed. If the victim was black or asian then it I bet the story would have been about a racial attack. Even if it was nothing to do with colour/obesity, then whoever the victim was, it would have been prejudice against them for whatever reason they felt they were being attacked for. Maybe the racists and discriminatory people are the ones pointing out colour, race and obesity to the rest of us, and stirring the shit.

I'm getting Deja vu 3 threads, all with similar issues and we come to the same conclusion. The racist isn't the person innocently putting up a poster with singer who is black advertising a new monkey tarrif, its the twat that points it out as they clearly see it from a racist perspective. I remember years ago, i had a RFC chain on my neck. A guy who is a Celtic fan noticed it and said i shouldn't have it on as its bigoted. Yeah, that makes sense, I support RFC and wear there merchandise so that makes me the bigot. Not the twat pointing it out and making a big deal out of it. If only the rest of the UK would come round to our way of thinking, the media would make a massive impact on racism if they chose to start pointing the finger in the right direction.
