Fat shaming is a terrible thing, yet many people here engage in it. You should feel bad if you're even capable of empathy.
I'm really not trying to be *that guy*, but my cynicism makes me think that this party isn't really for him, it's just for those shallow women to feel like they're making a difference, out of the humilliation of a man. "Hey look how thoughtful and charitable I am!" and all that, when in reality, they wouldn't even get close to him to ask him what's the time. Additionally, even though what happened to him is despicable, we don't really know him that much to know if he's accepted to go to the party out of sheer social pressure, despite feeling very embarrased about this. I mean really, this has gotten such an overwhelming response, how could he say no, what choice does he have? Also, he has all the right to be even more embarrassed with all this attention, just because some people don't like things done for them out of pity. This is an adult man we're talking about, not a little kid. Just my two cents on the matter.

[QUOTE=Occlusion;47278468]Um. But they're making it reality.[/QUOTE] Yeah but if we're being real most of them aren't really doing it for sake of him.
facepunch female experts: no such thing as a good deed done by females
[QUOTE=Occlusion;47278468]Um. But they're making it reality.[/QUOTE] What I'm saying is that had he asked any of those people to dance at a club with him, they would have undoubtedly either laughed at him while turning him down, or just flat out ignored him. This is just a bunch of social media addicts capitalizing on an easy-popularity-grab target, just like the whole dress color craze last week... and I have a problem with that. Let's not reduce him to a social media fluke. Then again, I'm probably just too damn bitter about the whole thing, and while trying to put myself in his shoes, that's one of the things I'd probably think.

I find that ulterior motive very repulsive, almost as much as the original /b/ post.
Fat shaming is for people who never mentally got past middle school. Like yeah there's those cringy people who thing obesity is healthy or accuse you of fat shaming because you say they can't fit into a medium, but still harassing people for the sole reason that they're fat makes you just look like an edgy 13 year old.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;47278520]Fat shaming is for people who never mentally got past middle school[/QUOTE] Sounds like /b/ in a nutshell, to me. [editline]7th March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Saturn V;47278503]facepunch female experts: no such thing as a good deed done by females[/QUOTE] At this point, it's a publicity stunt. Could you please tell me the number of people who would jump at the chance to party with him, if it weren't going to be plastered all over the news? ... That's what I mean. Like I said, this is just all speculation on my part because I'm a cynic, grumpy cunt, but let's just not focus on watching the "glass half full" by default.
A publicity stunt for a private party?
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;47278638]A publicity stunt for a private party?[/QUOTE] It just goes to show to the public how generous and kind one is, by attending to his party. Out of the 3 performers that said are going, Andrew W K strikes me as the most down-to-earth and truly invested in having a good time with the guy, which is awesome.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;47278526]Could you please tell me the number of people who would jump at the chance to party with him, if it weren't going to be plastered all over the news?[/QUOTE] I would, if I was a bit older lived closer. He looks like a really nice guy, and as a former victim of bullying myself, I'd want to share my story with him and cheer him up.
I seen Pharrell tweet about it and retweet Cassandra's tweet about looking for the man. It's nice what they're doing for him.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;47278506]What I'm saying is that had he asked any of those people to dance at a club with him, they would have undoubtedly either laughed at him while turning him down, or just flat out ignored him..[/QUOTE] why does this matter? many girls (or just people in general) would reject many people at a club trying to dance with them, morbidly obese or not can't people just be happy that some people are doing a good deed. maybe a small percentage of people are just doing it for themselves (consciously or otherwise) but does it matter? at the end of the day a lonely dude is getting a great night and a once in a lifetime experience. lighten up man

Shit if I had the money to get there I'd party with him. I'll party with anyone that isn't a total cunt.
man people laugh at me all the time and I've never got a party out of it

[I]They're[/I] the problem, not me!" when people call them off.

This leads to the only types of people we hear from being the minorities who happen to be the "fat pride, fat is sexy" "tumblr" crowd and the "/b-tard/" fat shaming crowd. And people fall into sides because that's all they see as exposure. Sad really.

His odds are as good as anyone elses even if he is heavy. I've seen fat, unattractive people pull some sexy in shape people before it's not like they ALWAYS get rejected all the time. Honestly this dude will probably get laid at this thing at least once because it seems like it's going to get pretty wild. :v:
upset at someone for being fat? shame him and stop him from doing a calorie burning exercise! seriously dancing is a great way to lose weight.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;47278526]Could you please tell me the number of people who would jump at the chance to party with him, if it weren't going to be plastered all over the news?[/QUOTE] Fuck yeah I'd party with this guy. Mad props to anyone who doesn't let who they are or how they look get in the way of a good party.
Laughing at someone dancing really is the most stupid thing you can do. It's carefree expressionism at it's purist. There is no good or bad.
[QUOTE=draugur;47277898]You should really re-evaluate your self mate.[/QUOTE] I wasn't trying to defend the bullies, I just didn't think it was that extreme compared to other acts of bullying I've seen (probably should of clarified what I meant). It was on an anonymous message board with a group of strangers. FYI I'm glad for Sean and I hope he has a good time at the party.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;47277859]Calling somebody a "specimen" is kinda dehumanizing you know?[/QUOTE] Unless they call you finest speciment :v:
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;47278731]man people laugh at me all the time and I've never got a party out of it[/QUOTE] I doubt you get called a 'Specimen' and shamed all over the Internet about it though. :
The /pol/ thread was actually full of people saying "fuck you" to the guy who posted the picture.
Dude, Moby DJ'ing would be fucking awesome.
I feel bad for this guy, it's bad enough having a guy take a picture of you and laugh at you without then having it distributed across the entire world, with people pitying you like you're a toddler or something and making a big fuss about it

I dont know what women facepunch deals with, but I've got some fat guys in my fraternity that are confident and can get a total babe to dance with them, even though they aren't of the best shape. Look, I don't know if you had a father figure but it all boils down to being confident in who you are, nice, and not a creep. Women aren't a standardized test that you guys can't pass because you're too smart for school.
