Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.

I'm fat. I'm not offended at the term "fascist fattie" as a reference to Trump. I'm unafraid of the truth that I'm overweight because it is the truth.

Conservatives are welcome to call me "Tubby Trans-supporter", "Pot-bellied Progressive", "Dumpy Democrat", "Blubbery Biden-voter", "Flabby Feminist", "Adipose Ally", "Lardy Liberal", "Stout Scientist" "Elephantine Environmentalist", "Swollen Socialist" and more.

Adipose Ally is pretty clever ngl

The Pot-bellied Progressives and The Swollen Socialists would both be decent band names

Pot Bellied Progressives is absolutely a folk punk group.

Or does it make a single amazing band name?

Swollen Socialist and the Pot Bellied Progressives?

I dig it, they better be a proper punk band though. As in, none of them really know how to play an instrument, but God damn are they banging on their guitars anyways

Maybe we should probably take some time to consider what sort of circumstances OOP may have had to endure due to his fascist regime, that may have prompted her post, before we start policing her tone.

It’s maybe not great to invalidate her whole message because a part of it is unpleasant. Like, acknowledge her point first, then address the microaggression, I feel.

You mean that fat fucking glutton trump? I have to worry about insulting others only to be told their insults of me are okay. I've just about reached my limit of tolerance for those that insist I have to adhere to their standards while they are okay labeling anyone they don't like as they please. Even if that label offends.

My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.

I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.
