I respectfully ask you to stop mocking cat people


What'd this lady ever do to you guys that she deserves so much disrespect?

1. Umm I'm stunned
I thought you would understand the situation. People view fat people with a certain stigma, all I was pointting out was that the poster was exploiting that stigma for a few social laughs. I hope you understand.

2. It's a joooke
I do understand the situation, but I think most people didn't take your complaint seriously because you called somebody out in public, by name, when it was first posted.

Yeah, and I'm noticing a certain double standard on this board. Someone calls a woman a twig, a stick, a rail, anorexic, a walking ghost... there's no ramification whatsoever... even if the woman's feelings are potentially being hurt. But when somebody makes one "fat joke" the entire board blows up.

7. There's...
... nothing funny about 400ccs of anything administered with a syringe. That's about 2 cups :)

4. SENSE. OF. HUMOR.
Unless that was a picture of *you* walking up the stairs, I would say you are going on a bit too much.

5. Don't take it personally...
copy cat threads multiply based on the ease with which a word or two can easily be changed for a chuckle.

LPFF.... put that cat down - it saw a mouse chasing some cheese and wants to get to it now!

8. No can do
Cat people are just too strange to be accepted as normal human beings in any respect and it is necessary to continue to mock them in an effort to marginalize their existence and indoctrinate our youth with the approved cultural norm.
