...there seems to be a trend on the forms lately of labelling 'big women' fuller figured women' fat women' or 'bbw's'...apparently, it's the last excusable attack on an individual.

we're not allowed to attack a person based on ability, be it physical or mental, race, political or religious _iew or sexual preference....but 'fatties' are still fair game so seem to be the weapon of choice when it comes to making comparisons and generalisations.

I don't personally like it, but, as i'm 'fuller figured' (my preferred choice, I'm allowed one)...I'm not entitled to find this offensive.

There are people that are under-weight and also feel comfortable with this, society doesn't hold them up to ridicule, it sympathises.

I don't use this site because I wouldn't get laid otherwise, I try to avoid men that 'accept' that i'm big and prefer a man that actually wants a woman because she's someone he desires....and I also try to exclude them that consider larger women a fetish.

I've started this thread to air my opinion only, I expect others have theirs and I expect some to differ.

I just wonder what peoples reasons are for the 'fattist' attitude that seems to have sprung up recently and what those folk that consider themselves to be in that bracket feel about it.

I find the opposite to be true... People are wary of saying someone is fat but feel they can just speak loudly about how skinny someone is as as it's not seen as insulting......

i may have been away from the forums for a few days but i have never felt there to be a fattst attitude on here

people like what they like and dont like what they dont like, thats life i guess, i dont particularly find men in knickers attractive and will not play with certain friends when they are dressed that way but that doesnt mean i am TV/CD-ist

without even searching I can think of two threads in two days where comments have been made, one even went as far to say they didn't like fat people.

in all my time in the form I've never seen one 'skinny' comment

Ive noticed it in 2 previous threads over the weekend and I am offended by it too. The word fat is used as a derogative term and its totally unacceptable.

I made a comment on another thread about very slim people. I was insulting because I wanted to show that calling names is hurtful. I felt bad typing it even though I was just making a point.

Sometimes we say things without thinking that it will upset anyone. But I fail to see if someone says fat or fatties etc,that they are not aware how rude that is

Being a 'fat bird' myself i can say i have not noticed it, do you mean in the forums, via pm or in general?

Personally i dont find been called fat, obese, bbw or any other of the terms used for the fuller figure insulting for a number of reasons, firstly i AM fat, i AM obese and i AM a bbw and secondly they are only words written on a page im far too thick skinned to let them bother me.

I love the way i look and i love people looking at me. If the way i look offends people then quiet simply they dont have to look.

If anyone feels people are been insulting towards them for any reasons, it is not acceptable and its against site rules, report, block, move on.

Actually no, it's not illegal to say you don't like someone for their ethnicity or religious belief; offensive certainly but not illegal otherwise the BNP would be illegal.

It all depends on how it is said. If (for instance) you were to say you don't want to play with black men then that would be your preference, which you are entitled to.

If, however you were to say that you don't want to play with black men because you think they are going to rob you then that would be offensive.

saying you wont have sex with them is a personal preference...it does not mean, however, that you do not like them.

Yes there is, but as someone else has just said it is a question of semantics. Whilst current legislation has it that an act or comment can be considered racist if the person it was directed towards deems it to be so, in practice this is a very difficult area to enforce.

None of us have the right not to be offended, yet we are all allegedly protected by the legal system in the same regards.

Personally i haven't seen any sizeist/fattist comments on these forums, but i will admit that this particular prejudice does seem to be one of the last socially acceptable ones.

However, when consecutive Govts are telling us all about the 'dangers' of the social obesity epidemic then it seems it is even Govt approved prejudice.

In the eleven months I've been on site I've seen all sorts: immigrants, bi and married men get the most stick.

if you don't find the word derogatory, chances are, you won't notice it.

The lady above mention obese and overweight, these are not derogatory terms, they are medical...fat is not a medical term and it's only use is to offend. I am not just fat, I am fat, skin, tissue, bone, blood and water....by calling someone overweight fat, you infer that is all they are.

to be fair that was one comment and they got called up on it on the thread, i dont see any reason to drag it up here.

i have been on bbw threads where someone has called someoe else a skinny minney and that wasnt tolerated either.

It all depends on your opinon of yourself i guess, i have accepted the term fat because that is what i am. i am fat through choice - ok i didnt set out to be the size i am but i also choose not to put myself through boring diets etc to lose weight because i don feel the need to.

take back the words and they will cease to hurt you - celebrate your fat and people will soon become bored of trying to hurt you by saying things about it

it wasn't just one comment, I read it and thought "oh, here we go again"...and it's been done again today on another post by someone else.

The word Fat is not what I am, as I said above, it is recognised in the dictionary as a derogatory term. As I said above...

The reason I started a thread is because otherwise i'd be hijacking someone elses and it does bother me enough for me to start it.

As I said in my post, if someone used any other prejudicial term it would not be accepted...I however, should accept that people are merrily using this word and I should just do what 'fat' folk do best and be jolly!

I am offended by it and i'm not alone

The reason I am offended is that the word 'fat' is used solely as an insult.

i honestly cannot think of anytime since school that i was called 'fat' and got upset about it. the only people that do it are d*unk idiots that are not worth me retaliating to

i'm sure that if d*unks are sing it, they too intended to offend,.

my issue is not the word off and in itself...it is the fact that no other offensive word is allowed on the form, other than this one.

there are standards and rules on the forms for a good reason, I don't understand why folk are choosing to insult this way and how they are able to

To Sassy and Dances- I am overweight, fat, bbw whatever you like to use. I don't get offended by any of them. I am also ginger, and was bullied mercilessly as a child for both.

The couple you refer to have been chastened for their comments in that thread. And as I said, as a rule, these forums are very tolerant and open minded.

and on another bbw thread there was one comment about one person's opinion on the term bbw

do 2 posts out of about 100 make a trend nowadays??

there was a piece in the news the other week about the medical profession using the term fat instead of obese as people have become 'immune' to the word obese now

I suppose what I am trying to say is that if the posts were that bad, Admin would have gotten involved, so, I think you are being a bit over sensitive, simples

surely by calling me over-sensitive for airing my opinion you are trying to squash my right to freedom of speech?!"

Ha ha ! Nope, just airing mine!

Do ya know something...

And this from someone with an ass the size of a ....well a big un anyways.

I often chuckle when reading some (not all) of the "fat" ."bbw" . whatever comments.

Especially those not so nice ...

The reason i often chuckle is because i read it like whoever is making the comments are green with bloody envy.

We dont do so bad for biguns on this site and im sure each and every one of us have loads of mail.

And how bloody dare we....we arent svelt and slim and slender and why do men fancy us. ????

Well thank god guys do ..

I was at the cannock social sat and saw lots of gorgeous bbw,s along with the slim and slender..

And didnt we have a blast eh.

So do as i do and have a chuckle next time you read a comment that may get you narked and think of little green men

"I haunt the forums all the time, and I haven't noticed it, I think you may be over sensitive, sorry.

if i remember correctly, its on the post about height, and personally, i thought the guy went seriously way over the top in his comment

just read the whole thread and there was one comment about one person's opinion on the term bbw

and on another bbw thread there was one comment about one person's opinion on the term bbw

do 2 posts out of about 100 make a trend nowadays??

there was a piece in the news the other week about the medical profession using the term fat instead of obese as people have become 'immune' to the word obese now

"

nope.....if you had read it you would have noticed that I said I could identify two in the last two days and my first thought was "here we go again"...it's not only two....and as I also pointed out before, if it doesn't offend you, you wont pick up on it

i read your OP which states there is a trend, then you mention just 2 occasions. Perhaps i dot pick up on it because i dont see it as an issue but will be doing some research to see how prolific the trend is

back soon

O o O oo

I do think when people describe someone any way that they know will offend people on the forums either have no tact or are just plain rude.

I personally don't take offence at it but if it is said just to be downright nasty then I think it says a lot about the people posting it, some people are ugly on the inside.

won't talk about it anymore - learnt my lesson.

I don't like being referred to as old or older. Blimey .... I might last much longer than a newer model, my lines might be more classic and I am very well tuned and maintained.

I applaud the Op for raising this thread, it should be enough just to say that she is offended, but she along with others have gone further and explained why. The argument has been put very well.

I personally don't believe there is a shift towards a 'fattist attitude' in this forum but it doesn't mean there hasn't been. I do not consider myself to be above an average weight therefore I would probably be less sensitive to a shift in that direction and would not notice it as quickly.

I do however think that by raising this in a seperate thread it does highlight that certain words are offensive to some people. Those that under free speech choose to continue using those words cannot then hide behind being ignorant of the effect those words have on some individuals.
