Nobody said I needed washboard abs. Nobody but me should be concerned with my stomach, period. I define myself by my friends, my professional and personal achievements, and my travels, not by my body at all. I don't have time to exercise, but I don't gorge myself on chips all the time. I also don't turn them down…

When he said "Yuk" (I don't think Norton spells it with a C) I said to my wife, "I'm glad Jim Norton said that. He's the most reprehensible human being on the planet, and maybe Louie will realize he doesn't want to be that much like Jim."

Why are there consequences? Why can't I just get along with people? Why does the *availability* of washboard abs mean that if I don't want them I get judged *negatively* for that?

Size 8. Not fat. Curvy, sure, but heck of not fat.

I think you misunderstand. You're lucky that it was easily controllable for you, because you were unhappy with your own size.

apparently, fuckin' is for the 1% of the population with "perfect" looks

It's only easily controllable for some people. You're lucky that it was easily controllable for you.

Yeah. I know this. I'm a person who doesn't care. My wife is a person who finds overweight people more attractive. Harelips and missing limbs and the like EXIST ON THAT SCALE.

Did you happen to catch the Norm MacDonald/Roseanne Barr tweets from just a few hours ago? Just because they had some success in the past doesn't mean they had any kind of similar path to it as a Kevin James or Patton Oswalt.

Kind of the whole point of the discussion is that fat girls are treated similarly to one another, and differently from other groups, such as fat guys, skinny girls, people of color, old people, et cetera. Going on @avclub-9068bfb1ee2a95f6b79d071f3c70b40c:disqus's other posts in this conversation, she's much more apt…

Oh, too soon.

That might have been my favorite of all of his performances

well hang on then do you have some kind of medical issue? if not then you should really lose the extra pounds so that people you don't know will consider you attractive

I didn't even notice it. Now I have another reason to watch it again!

fat-shaming-shaming-shaming

cool. "somebody else is a total shitbird, so i can get away with being just a regular shitbird."

YES THANK YOU criminy they are WOMEN not FEMALES i can't even

Oh but they do, they just require self-started transparency. Like this: I just downvoted spacecowboy.

Tonight is literally the first time I've ever heard the word "fat" applied to Christina Hendricks. I guess maybe I didn't realize how deep the problem went?

Also, you can't see it, but one of those downvotes was from me.
