UGH!

Fuck! I love Fmylife but I hate the people that comment on it. I need to stop reading the comments if I'm going to get through a day.
Compare responses to the above FML story featuring a (presumably) fat BOY and compare to the following one concerning a (presumably) fat GIRL.

In general people are more tolerant of the fat girl which is interesting. More supportive than abusive anyway.
I think some of the worst comments are the ones that say "Maybe you should take this as a hint to lose weight".. ugh!
I can't stand that being fat is perceived as so inherently wrong. Like there's no question of doubt. It's disgusting that people not only think they can talk to people that way but they "know" it.
Now compare to this:

It appears all homophobic comments have been moderated -
"Any more ignorant homophobic comments will get you a nice little ban... ok people?

And now no further comments are allowed.
I am sad to see that so many homophobic comments have been made. I am glad to see they have been moderated.
However I am more sad to see that fatphobic comments will not be moderated.. and probably never will be in my time.
My favourites are these:
"How about you hop your fat ass on a treadmill instead of whining on FML. It's your fault that you're fat."
"Maybe you should take care of yourself fattie."
So many assumptions, so little time.
