why would you expect something like that??
…
although all forms of prejudice and hatred are terrible, the online anti-fat hate just bugs so much.
it’s so common, accepted, and arbitrary
i mean, at least with racism there’s some kind of stupid “reasoning” behind it. some notion that “others” are a threat, and tribal nonsense.
but just hating on overweight people is so… pointless…
anyways, i expect the banning of r/fatpeoplehate and the like has sent some troglodytes over here.
but, if the instance doesn’t do something, theyll get defederated

i’ve heard the opposite, “they hate us so why should we care about them!”
so i imagine from something like that…

well i guess he’s saying that normally empathy requires reciprocity

last time i took a shower at a homeless shelter:
you have to hand all your stuff to a guy at a window, he puts it in a bag, then you go to a medium sized room with several shower heads spraying towards the middle…
so you don’t just get your shower, you get the water bouncing off a dozen naked homeless guys…
the water is a tepid, narrow, painful jet…
i caught scabies and athletes foot…
…
i’ve taken one other one at a shelter in another city and state and it was identical…
…
gym is way better, otherwise i’d rather take a bird bath in a random bathroom sink…

if an asshole dog fighting abusive owner can’t get a pit, they’ll get a rottweiler… which will also attack people if raised like that.
or german shepards…

it’s higher because people use pitbulls for dog fights, etc… if you abuse an animal it’s more likely to attack someone.
if you look at stats, getting killed by a rotweiler or a german Shepard isn’t that far off.
which would be the next two “tough dude” cool pets…
not to mention, pitbulls aren’t even a breed, really… there’s plenty of pit cousins that would be the new pitbulls… plus half breeds and whatnot…
my solution is to just require all small children carry revolvers… super simple, and those dogs will think twice before attacking them.
