Haha, this woman. Being 'bullied' for being overweight isn't anywhere near comparable to being bullied due to race or sexual orientation.

She complains about this 'hurtful attack' for over four minutes, yet she also claims that this man's words mean nothing to her and that she has 'thick skin'. Oh, is that so?

There were lots of layers and an excessive use of the clone tool.

As someone who is also a sexual/gender minority, yeah, actually... sometimes weight-based bullying is worse. Because people [LIKE YOU, HI] think that it's my fault or my choice that I'm ~omg fat~ and therefore that I deserve bullying worse than I get for something that isn't "my choice."

So yeah. fuck off.
