Calling girls "Cows" is not ok! I don't fucking CARE what you think about overweight people personally, think whatever you want. But there are limits to what's fucking decent, and calling overweight woman, and overweight people in general, "Cows" is fucking cruel. Or "Fatties", or "Whales", or "Pigs", or anything of the sort. Just because you bitches think you're hot shit, doesn't mean that have any fucking right to talk down to other people or talk shit about them when you think everyone just agrees with your ignorance.

I'd like to point out that it is ALSO not ok to make fun of people who are very thin. Do not throw sandwiches at these people. Usually, it's just their metabolism that keeps them thin. It's not ok to say they have eating disorders just because they are thin.

Just like it's not ok to be racist, a bigot, or a fucking terrorist of any persuasion, it's NOT ok to make fun of peoples weight. ANY weight. Fuck you if you think you're goddamn perfect, you and your fucking glass house.

I hope someone throws a damn rock at it and it costs you a lot of fucking money to fix all the fucking windows.

Edit: For posterity, since I hide their comment on my journal to protect their name, I'm going to repost the response I got from the person who originally sparked the rant, but was not, in fact personally named. Also, I wasn't speaking about them personally, except in my Shout on thier page, which I will also repost.

Hey. I know this is about me, and you need to calm down and relax.
What I said was a joke. Purely a joke.
I was not making fun of a person, I was making common jokes that even I have been victim to.

What you have said to me, however, was not. You have been EXTREMELY offensive to me.
I really want you to know this, and you're being a huge hypocrite because you're actually saying hurtful things.
You have been extremely judgmental of me over a joke, and you have said awful things that are NOT jokes.

I will let you know this:
You do not know me in the least bit.
I do not think I am perfect. At all.
I was drawing a chubby reindeer during that stream, I think she is beautiful, and I draw overweight figures all the time.
I am constantly called anorexic, bulemic, and "too skinny." People literally give me food to try to "fatten" me up.
I have a horrible binge eating disorder due to this, which I go to therapy for. I'm currently overweight now, and very unhealthy.
One of my best friends is anorexic, one is a recovering bulemic, one is obese, and many are chubby. I love them all, no matter what.
I am a very humorous person, and hey, it's okay if you don't like my humor. Tell me it upsets you, and I will watch it around you. It's easy.
It's not nice to shout on someone's page with insults when you don't know them. It's not nice to do anything you've done to me.


I'm going to, quite honestly, block you before you can say anymore awful things to me.
I just wanted you to know this, so you could think before you judge someone next time this happens.

The shout I made on this persons page was this:

I would like to inform you that you have lost a watcher, due to your harsh and rather critical judgement about other womens body types in your stream earlier today. Overweight women aren't "Cows" and anorexia isn't a joke.

The shout they made on my page, goes as follows:

Uhm. Wow did you REALLY just say that to me?

Seriously. That is outwardly rude. You don't know me so please don't take very obvious jokes to heart and slander me wrongfully on my page.

I would really like to say that none of the things I said in this rant were personal attacks. I did not name this person, I did not site the how and why of the comments that sparked my upset. It was, in fact, one of many such incidents. Also, I did not "wrongfully slander' them. Because they did say "Cows, as in obese." and made a joke about throwing sandwiches at the anorexic girls who go to cons.

HOWEVER, my point stands. You shouldn't make these jokes. You shouldn't say these things. Because even if you ARE joking, it is hurtful to people. Being someone who has experienced the hurtful side of these things, doesn't give you a pass.

Perpetuation is still a factor, even if it IS a joke.
