Sweet, is the pendulum swinging the other way now?

What percent of overweight people have a medical problem that causes it?

I don't really think the Internet (or social media more precisely) ever had any "mind" at all. It's usually just histrionics from vocal braindead oysters, most of it anyway.

I hope it sells well.

What's the point of that shirt other than to make overweight people you cross paths with on the street feel bad about themselves?

Make whatever shirt you want, wear whatever shirt you want.

If you're a giant asshole people are gonna call you a gaint asshole.

Usually with these articles they'll hand pick 4 people off twitter and create a "frenzy" in their story.

Yeah get rid of shame entirely. Nobody should ever feel it for any reason. We should all be completely shameless.

Pretty much

And if you can't handle being called an asshole, maybe try being less of an asshole.

Has to be under 1% realistically.

Good. Fatties need to be woke to that fact

The bish modeling the shirt is tho

Dumb sweater, but also a sweater that maybe six people would've seen if not for some people online freaking out and spreading it around.

And fat can be beautiful, just not to most people and also it still reduces your life expectancy and quality in a big way regardless.

According to Fashionista, the shirts displayed body-shaming quotes reportedly addressed to celebrities like Lena Dunham (Horrible Result of Modern Feminism) and Cara Delevingne, and the act of repurposing those ugly quotes on these expensive tops was intended to be empowering.

We can't possibly imagine how this idea could backfire.

According to Florence, LPA said, "The sweatshirts went up early on Revolve for some reason, but it's a collaboration with five women with the worst troll quotes. The point was to shine the light on how horrible trolling is. The proceeds benefit charity, so basically it's opposite of what it seems." Yikes.

And it's sold out apparently. Wins all around, maybe. Also the Revolve website appears to be down, lol.

0%. Of they had a thyroid problem they'd go to the doctor and get thyroid meds. They're as easy to get as ADHD meds lol.

Agree 100%

If someone chooses to be fat I don't see why people feel the need to go out of their way to attack them. You don't have to support their decision just don't make any comments.
