"Bikini Bridge" upsetting fat people and Feminists - Polidicks

[QUOTE=O Cheerios O;43462656]Atleast they weren't beating around the bush for once.[/QUOTE] They'd have been beating around his bush had he delivered.

i have a bikini bridge and a thigh gap ha ha

[QUOTE=Banned?;43455990]I'm 6'5" and 150lb and have been since high school (2002). Ain't nothing I can do about that shit.[/QUOTE] That's the wrong mentality. I have a friend who is 193cm (~6'5'') and was <70kg (~150lb) and one time he lifted the TV remote in a funny way and dislocated his shoulder because he had so little muscles. He decided enough is enough and started training and eating right (and more) and now he weights 85kg(~186lb) and has tons of muscles. It's all a question of how much time and effort you're willing to expend to do something about your situation.

I mean, I've dislocated my knee by taking a step, but that's hardly as weird as lifting the TV remote.

It's not that important anyway, the important part is the rest of my post which I could see with my very own eyes.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;43460008]I'm mostly laughing about the fact that 4chan is named an image sharing site in the article. Andhoping some unsuspecting people do try and go share pictures on it.[/QUOTE] That's beyond evil.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;43464432]ohmygod ur not a [I]reel[/I] woman ur not prety at all who do u think ur fooling??? fucking sluuuuut i swear eat a french fry you stik /fatpride[/QUOTE] You sure showed all those fake people with your epic joke!

[QUOTE=Ownederd;43465764]What is this snipe supposed to mean, let alone accomplish?[/QUOTE] If you go back through this thread and look at the ratings, users here only care about making epic zingers. Actual post trying to make actual points? 1 agree, 2 dumbs, and a funny. A "look who's talking" or "haha lol look at me I am X person/group" post? 100 zings, 654675 funny ratings.

[QUOTE=Ownederd;43465764]What is this snipe supposed to mean, let alone accomplish?[/QUOTE] Fat people aren't bullied enough in real life so people on Facepunch have to create fat people in their head to laugh at.

So far, 3 SH regulars have gotten banned in it. If you can attack somebodies opposing point using humor opposed to logic, it's easier to get people to agree with you. This is why we have talk show hosts being incredibly popular, because comedy plus news is a winning combination. It's really easy to attack somebodies point with a strawman and attempt to claim moral victory by disagreeing with something they never said in the first place, and if you can "parody" their views then you're basically going to win the argument.

Fat people and feminists are the two most acceptable targets for computer nerds to belittle. This whole thread is super childish

Why the fuck is anybody here taking this seriously? It was a joke made by 4chan, you pass over things like "Hitler did nothing wrong" thing with mountain dew, yet oh god if those dang 4channers are trying to make a joke advertisement about beauty then everything is wrong with the world. Like really, how do any of you find any bit of seriousness in this?

"Hitler did nothing wrong" is so absurd, so stupid, that even if the media latched on to it people wouldn't give a shit because of what it is.

[QUOTE=demoguy08;43456671]We're not blind to it, of course men are also objectified to a certain level but this is done to women to a FAR HIGHER degree to the point that it's barely comparable do a image search for "magazine cover" and count how many times you see a woman showing skin in a sexually suggestive way then do the same for men the result will surely surprise you![/QUOTE] men are just objectified in a different manner but it's a similar degree of intensity, though probably lesser. or do mens magazines featuring men wearing thousand dollar suits, watches, haircuts, and etc not count as "Objectification"?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;43468264]men are just objectified in a different manner but it's a similar degree of intensity, though probably lesser. or do mens magazines featuring men wearing thousand dollar suits, watches, haircuts, and etc not count as "Objectification"?[/QUOTE] naw, male clothing is really conservative and a lot more about the clothes themselves, whereas female clothing is more about being tight fitting and showing off the body more. it's much more easy for women to be objectified because of this. [editline]8th January 2014[/editline] very much lesser.

[editline]8th January 2014[/editline] very much lesser.[/QUOTE] So men's values as providers and as people aren't being physically objectified in the visual display of wealth in their clothing? No? Really? Men are objectified by their monetary value as much as women are by their beauty. The point is in the end that both are objectified. To be made objects. Less than people.

"buy the colonge and [I]get[/I] this girl." they're a thing to achieve, an object. hence "objectification." [editline]8th January 2014[/editline] short version: men are rarely objectified in advertisements. they can be, but i can't think of a clear example off the top of my head.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;43468365]so women aren't being told "This is the kind of man you want" the way I'm being told "This is the kind of woman you want"? Why? How do you figure[/QUOTE] this isn't a pissing contest of who's objectified more. the underlying issue is the male-dominated industry setting the standards of what's attractive using media depictions.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyGunz;43468448]this isn't a pissing contest of who's objectified more. the underlying issue is the male-dominated industry setting the standards of what's attractive using media depictions.[/QUOTE] So I can't reply to the comments saying that it's a non existant issue because you don't want those comments brought up because it seems like a pissing contest to you? I'm not bringing it up for that reason no matter what you think i agree with you but apparently bringing up it happens to men is wrong? The fuck.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;43468483]because we're not talking about men right now it's [I]impossible[/I] to have arguments like this because somebody always comes in and says "but we're oppressed too!!!!!!"[/QUOTE] I was literally replying to a post that said it's non existant for men, like you said previously in this thread as well No one is denying it happens to women, but you are and were out right denying it happens to men I think it happening PERIOD is a fucking problem but why can't that be the discussion? [editline]8th January 2014[/editline] i mean you literally brought it up so obviously, the conversation is in some way about men

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;43456354]welcome to the real world, where society makes women feel like shit if they aren't a size 0 and caked in makeup. you, as a dude, have basically no pressure to be a certain size compared to women.[/QUOTE] you forgot this post awfully quick then pal

I'm nowhere near being a feminist or a FRA but holy shit are people in this thread being immature.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;43468515]you forgot this post awfully quick then pal[/QUOTE] i don't get it they line up pretty well???
