Some of the Internet's best things come from 4chan, specifically /b/.

Alright, I always thought it was the case, and now I know it for the truth it is...The reason behind Shadow is simply the fact that he has a HORRIBLE sense of humor! It feels good to finally have solid proof.

Now, as for 4chan itself, I think the Compendium should ignore it like the plague (you're supposed to ignore the plague, right?)...Discard discussions to the DBT along with GameFAQs character poll discussions.

I have a DIFFERENT sense of humor, thank you! As for the plague, you cure it. However, good luck curing Anonymous. Get any breakthroughs you let me know. I'm kinda sore at them for Trisha Aurora and Chris Highwind.

Yeah, that frustrates me too. No, not fat people. The people who bash fat people, and equate fatness with every character flaw they can think of. They cast these aspersions with no factual justification and no understanding of the harm their actions cause.

People's lives get ruined this way, you know. Far more damaging to their quality of life than any direct health risk caused by being fat (itself a debatable topic), is the damage caused by bigotry from others, rejection by society at large, and the personal neuroses that develop as a consequence of the stigma.

Waistline is a measure of circumference, not character. Fat-bashing is obscene.

I'm not kidding. I'm fat. I live my life how I want to, not by some screwed up code of popularity that tells me I have to be Skinny. I am not obese, however. I'm not the perfect image of skinny either. I'd rather be fat and enjoy myself than force myself to throw up and gain a mediacal disorder. Actually, my fatness is more of a genetic thing...

It's actually worse to be underweight than overweight.

Fat-bashing is obscene.

What about Obese-bashing?  I couldn't tell from your post if you categorize fat and obese under "Fat-bashing"?

[FaustWolf]

What we have to keep in mind, placid, is that sometimes people have hormonal imbalances that literally lock them into overweight-ness or even obesity. Therefore, categorically disliking obese people is tantamount to blaming at least some of them for factors that they have no real control over. That's the way I see it, anyway.

It's fine to dislike the choices people make, but there's inherent meanness in disliking people for circumstances built into their DNA.

[HyperNerd]

My parents are fat. My grandparents are fat. My Great- Grandparents were fat. And I. Am Fat. Please don't hate me, but this is royally pissing me off.

[placidchap]

I'd have to agree with you there Faust.  I shall modify my previous statement to reflect that I do not care for those who are obese and "choose" to do so.

And to Nerd, I don't have a problem with "fat" people.  I prefer it actually, especially over being underweight,

God forbid people should find a middle-ground for their body types.

Then Don't post "I condemn fat people" next time, OK?
Jesus. It would be like me saying "I Condemn Religion and everyone who has one" and then after some people got pissed I would say "Oh no, I just hate satanists."

[placidchap]

I do condemn religion as a matter of fact.

But I apologize for the fat comment.  My dry humour does not translate very well to the internet, especially when I do not use things such as "/sarcasm" or what have you.

[Shee]

I do condemn religion as a matter of fact.

Do you need a /sarcasm there?  Condemn is such a strong word.

[placidchap]

"I condemn fat people" was an /absurdity that was mocking Shadow's absurd claim in his "Super Fact" on the previous page

as for religion...not a fan.
