Is being fat or skinny offensive?!


Question: yes it can be....in most cases it can be taken as an insult esp if you're directing it to a person. when you asked that question, you could have offended a quite of few people who are excessively overweight or underweight.

although you probably meant well, with no pun intended, here is my ADVICE to you [and others]: always choose your words carefully and take time out to see how you would feel if those/certain words were addressed to you. as they say "think before you speak {in this case,write}

* instead of using the word "fat" say "overweight" or "plus
size"

* instead of using the word "skinny" say "slim", "slender "
or "thin"

  • Why would it be?

    well its offensive if the fat one sits on you or the skinny one steals your food

    Fat puts too much strain to your body so some might consider it offensive. Being too skinny is not good either.

    Fat? How fat? Skinny? Yes..sorry folks that are skinny. Listen, if you are naturally extremely thin, there's not too much you can do about that, so bless your heart. But if you purposely, overly try to be skinny by starving yourself and all, I do not think that that is a good move @ all

    no, if your fat your fat and if your skinny your skinny. people need to accept the way how they look. the only thing offensive is making fun of that person that is either fat or skinny.

    Nope

    NO!!!

    I don't think its offensive...as long as your comfortable in your own skin everything is perfect

    No. Are you mad?

    It might be to the other person.Ex: skinny girl might be offinve to a fat one.

    the only time it could be offensive is if the skinny one is complaining that their too fat and the fat one just sits around complaining and doesnt do anything about it

    I'm slim curvy but a little more considered "skinny" rather than fat, and if anybody wants to hate on me for being healthy, then so be it, I personally think all shapes and sizes are beautiful and don't get disgusted by neither

    there are all types of people out there get out and get used to it.

    I'm very intelligent, funny, kind, and courteous, but most people look at me in disgust because I'm a little overweight. It ticks me off because I don't judge others like that.
