Ya, its a really complicated topic because there are so many emotionally charged aspects to it. I get where the author is coming from because TBL is emotionally and physically abusive, it seems to be trying to be better, but its inherant premise is just unhealthy. Its counter intuitive to a lot of people, but when…

Getting to a sustainable and healthy weight is pretty much just your habits. If you mentally put too much energy into your diet you will burn out, it has to be natural. If you want to cut down to a more “aesthetic” look, it takes much more effort but for the VAST majority of people you don’t need to worry about that…

I always hated this show. My sustained weight loss sounds a lot like yours, it’s been 19 years since I was at my heaviest, and in the beginning, the weight loss was almost entirely down to a healthier diet.

Oh holy shit The Swan!! That was fucking train-wreck tv right there. All I really remember is everyone wound up with the same creepy ultra-white Chiclet teeth. Even if their original teeth were fine to begin with.

I’ve long hated this show as it is exploitative as fuck. While I strongly disagree with the notions that sustainable weight loss is not possible (I myself am proof it is) The Biggest Loser teaches literally all the wrong lessons on how to do it. So instead of getting into the more controversial social topics I am just…

And people wonder how Dump reinvented himself into the White House. This is literally his schitck that he performed gleefully for years on his own reality show: cruelty and judgement distilled into a hit of sweet, evil dopamine for people eager to “other” everybody they can.

Honestly, this. ESPECIALLY when Jillian Michaels was at the helm.

I'm surprised no one has died on this show

The only thing worse for body image than this horrible show was The Swan. Remember that shit show?

Years ago, I had a friend who was trying to get on the show. While he was already very overweight, he was actually trying to gain more weight because of what the producers said they wanted, which was obviously a spectacle.

Indeed. But the Biggest Loser has the added element of where it is shaming a significant portion of the population as well. I’m tone deaf, and I’ve never felt shamed by American Idol because I can’t sing. 

Oh, please, when have the Kardashians EVER worried about copying someone, famous or not, if it meant a chance to profit?

I think Kim K was just about to launch her own offspring-named clothes brand when Beyonce announced hers, and now there are clothes they spent millions on rotting away in some warehouse behind a south east asian sweatshop because if she launched North K’s Klothes now it would look like she was copying Beyonce, even if…

Apparently Kylie Jenner once took Dream on the same helicopter that crashed and killed Kobe Bryant, and Blac Chyna’s pretty upset about it.

God forbid we miss out on addressing some poor dude’s sexual needs.

Incels need to be as far away from women as humanly possible.

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

Social re-insertion plan after killing your wife with a hammer and then stabbing her?!?!

Meek: be the bigger person here... Let her go. Her husband is a rapist, her brother is a pedophile, and she does songs with domestic abusers. You will look like a fool trying to save her, only she can save herself. Let it go
