It's funny how you've made efforts to stop being fat, but you haven't worked on the far more pressing negative aspects concerning you.

So, you should be allowed to be a dick concerning other people's weight, but anyone who thinks you're being a dick should just 'suck it up'? Doesn't work that way.

"casting for films and cosplay may not be quite the same" - it's not the same period. Cosplay is something people do purely for fun, to show off their crafting skills OR(/and) to resemble the cosplayed character as much as possible. Having the same body shape is NOT a requirement for cosplay. Following your logic,…

I can say with 99.999% certainty that yes, somewhere right now someone's being fat-shamed. Heck, in response to this very article there are people saying that fat people shouldn't cosplay.

You are the problem. Just like the article says, just because her weight, gender, or race don't exactly emulate the character, she should not be shamed for it. People like you make the world a shitty place to live in... and I wish the worst upon you in it.

Yes, casting for films and cosplay may not be quite the same as the one is a professional calling while the other is for fun, but the underlying concept remains the same

Doing it out of shame perpetuates the notion that even the slightest excess of weight beyond the 'norm' is considered fat. And it's so relative, too. She is not what I would consider dangerously overweight by any means. Hell, a friend of mine here in Japan went to a doctor, and was told she is at risk for stroke. She…

It's great that she was able to lose weight, but the bullying is still a very negative, very bad thing. What happened in the past matters because this shit is going to continue to happen in the future. The end was happy, but it doesn't justify the emotional abuse that initiated it.

It depends on a complex constellation of factors, including her support network, her psychological resiliency, and her environment. All that has been reported on here is how toxic her environment was, and the consequences thereof. I am certainly not speaking with authority and I am not saying that she must have…

How is it the same concept at all? I thought cosplaying was supposed to be dressing up for fun.

This is true.

It matters "what transpired in the past" because that shit is traumatic in a very real and very literal sense. I can't pretend to know you, so I can't pretend to know how much you know about this sort of thing, but I speak with intimate experience when I say that it doesn't end. It doesn't stop. A person doesn't…

Ill be swift: its her life, its her body, its her money shes spending, its her choice. Dont like it? Suck it up champ and dont be a douchebag about it

I mean I'm not loyal to either console brand (still debating whether I'll go XBone or PS4 when I upgrade a year from now) but as someone who has been both a PC and console gamer at various points in my life, I definitely understand the appeal of consoles and it's where I lean these days. I don't have to deal with…

It's the year 20XX, apples are bred to be hexagonal.

man, those are some low quality textures!

Because finding a new place to live is so simple and cheap, especially for a middle class citizen with serious mental conditions during an economy crisis where people who are better off can't even have a secure job.

Artist's rendering of the stepson.

Not some random guy, his step-dad. Also, if he's fucking throwing tantrums like this at 19 over an X-Box game, he clearly deserves to be treated like a toddler.

That's how Xbox people are...
