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?

I can't be the only one who thinks fat people [omg onoz, etc, insert hand-waving freakoutery here] are far more attractive than thin bullies. Right?

also, OP, in response to your question -- yes, trigger warnings would probably be a good idea. Especially if you can note there's BS in the comments here.

Well, I think you become less attractive if you bully anyone, regardless of your size.
