Eh, I think most of it's for a laugh, but I didn't read the second and third page.
Just sayin'
Yeah, it's for laughs, but at whose expense?
I don't think many people really like being made fun of.
Some people just like to exploit others with no regard for people's feelings.

jokes aren't funny unless someone gets offended

Hey, I'm all about acceptance and understanding (Buddhist, here). But I'm capable of separating myself and my feelings from humor and satire. I personally think that comedy is funny because it's, at it's core, things that are wrong. Things that you shouldn't say, or things that wouldn't normally happen. That's
why it's funny. Taking offense to a joke is unnecessary egotism, especially in this context, which is, more or less, a group of friends making fun of each other.
The expense is more at the poster than the woman/man/whatever.
So, basically, what theavondon said, but keep the context in mind. If it was people yelling at larger women, or saying "fat people are bad people" with actual malice, then be offended. But laugh at this shit, because it's all light hearted to us, whether or not you find it mean-spirited (which it probably is, but that, again, is probably
WHY it's funny in the first place.
I edit my posts a lot.

like, sure it's 'just a joke,' but why is it a joke? jokes reflect real opinions, sets of behaviors, prejudices. it's not just the internet, cuz this shit happens in Real Life™ too.
saying it's just the internet is a way to avoid responsibility for saying some pretty disgusting shit.

Yeah, whatever.
That's what makes it great, right?
You can insult people and not really feel guilty about it because it's not really real.

Jokes don't always reflect real opinions. They can often reflect the opposite opinion, simply reinforcing that it's something that's wrong, with humor.
My name is "IEatCats" because I think that it's wrong, it doesn't mean that I
do eat cats. Lots of humor is out there to be abrasive because it's something that's understood to be wrong or offensive. Humor can be a way to make people think, though I'm over explaining this thread at this point.

i mean, i'm totally all about humor being a way to make people think about structure and their opinions but there's none of that interesting thought provoking shit in this thread. just some shallow HAHA FAT PEOPLE type shit.

Yeah. Maybe I just take jokes like this differently than a lot of people. I also just like discussions like this.
I'll stop defending things that I didn't say now, haha.

It takes a lot to offend me. Maybe it's because I was a /b/tard during my "developmental" years in early high school, and back when that place was fairly rough.
And this thread is now about Modest Mouse.

This is my next new vinyl. Then Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective.

Humor comes from a disparity between what is expected and reality. In my recolection, this thread isn't about not liking fat people. It's about being overly candid and direct towards people's appearances.
We know it's not appropriate to say something like TS wanted to. Therefore, a discussion on how it is a parody on social norms and a total farce. It has nothing to do with whether or not fat people are good or not. To each his own.
That said, I don't even remember what I said in this thread, and to that I direct you to my sig.
