Flying coach wasn't the humiliating part, they're objecting to being separated because they don't believe it was done in good faith.

Forget the discrimination aspect for one second. I don’t care if I’m a purple Muslim hermaphrodite from Jupiter, if I fucking paid for premium I am sitting in fucking premium, and no fuckers are making me sit in fucking coach, from my severely beaten lifeless body are you taking this from me.

Why does this post say “near infancy” when it also describes an incident of an assault on an infant? That would be simply “infancy.”

The repeated Delta love was... suspect.

That’s made quite clear in the article though- the gay couple paid for first class and the airline tried to sit one of them in coach. I love all this out-of-the-blue skepticism; if this had been a cishet couple, you people would be (rightly) outraged.

Here’s a rule of thumb: when in doubt blame the airline, because airlines inevitably are at fault for something somewhere. In conclusion, I hate you air travel corporations.

“Please know that, while this is a very difficult time for all of us, our first priority remains ensuring that your family continues to receive the very best care. We ask that you continue to reassure your children that our doctors and staff are here to take care of them whenever they need us.”

Kate Middleton didn’t have lots of family either. Her parents who are together, her two siblings, and her dodgy rich uncle. Five family members in that huge cathedral. It just seems to be how Royal weddings go for the newbies.

Yep. This was my dad, too. Hero of his own fucking story, every step of the way. The rest of us just extras, there to reflect his glory. Wanker.

It doesn’t matter if she intended to, the message to young girls is the same eat a liquid diet and you’ll get a beach bod in 2 months.

And as you so aplty demonstrated it plays into the stereotype that all fat people do is eat all day and that’s why they’re fat.

I eat once maybe twice a day, I am a Green belt in Tae…

lamenting that they have no friends with which to do anything with while simultaneously avoiding the people who call/text to ask if they want to do something.

NARCISSITIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.
This is my father. Par for the course. He won’t shut up; he honestly thinks that he’s a victim and that he comes across as the better person here. Genuinely. 

He’s addicted to the attention at this point. As you said, it first started out as “aw, too bad,” and he immediately got drunk out of his mind on the sympathy of the masses, how ephemeral and pointless it was. So now he’ll do anything to feel that way again, no matter that this strategy is getting him the opposite of…

I’m more interested in a reality show about people like me: single, broke, 30 somethings who spend their whole weekend lamenting that they have no friends with which to do anything with while simultaneously avoiding the people who call/text to ask if they want to do something.

Its not even that its fat girl loses weight, its fat girl loses weight in an extremely unhealthy way basically starving herself and is now hot and worth of being heard.

This is going to feed into those with eating disorders or on the verge of them

This guy went from mildly sympathetic to pathetic to OMG TOTAL TRAINWRECK in a matter of months. This dude really does not know when to just shut the fuck up. I have no idea what he is thinking, I mean he’s gotta know this strategy is not going to actually work, right? 

He’s basically every white father from that generation right down to the “I could die tomorrow, she’ll be better off.” These guys are such sad sacks.

Exactly. Fellow fat woman here, and I’m very bored of the idea of actors putting on fat suits (in which they always look extremely dumpy and frumpy for some reason.....) because there are still creators who see fat people telling their own stories as absurd and don’t believe that fat people actually groom themselves…

Thomas Markle is the wooooooorsssst. How long before he stops getting paid for his interviews and ceases to exist in gossip? I have dumpster fire parents too but at least I’m not famous. 

Aside from whether it’s good or not, you can make an over the top satirical statement about fat shaming without using the trope of “fat girl loses weight, is deemed hot and is now important enough to be heard.”
