The poor under-privileged fat people. So oppressed that they can eat a massive excess of calories while half the world starves. Won't somebody think of the fat people.

When do actually encounter this shit? You never do, ever. Stop going out of your way to find stupid things.

When you see a sign reading "Achtung Minen", go around, not across.

It's good for a laugh.

Someone was so upset with thin people that they made a website.

>>14926
Why are you so certain that everyone who is fat overeats?

>>14932
Why are you putting words in his mouth?

>>14933
He looked hungry.

>>14935
Are you accusing him of being a closet fatty like those anti-gay preachers in America?

>>14932

Because the only way to get fat is to eat too many calories.

>>14937
Because the only reasonable way to get fat into your body is by ingesting it.

>>14938
How else do you propose?

>>14938

No you're body makes the fat to store the excess calories you gobble down. Keep up fatlad.

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>14941

Agreed. Most of my fatness comes from beer. 100% fat free, still makes me fat.

>>14942
The 'beer belly' phenomenom is a myth lad.

>Conclusions: It is unlikely that beer intake is associated with a largely increased WHR or BMI.

>>14939
I was being facetious, of course ingesting fat and excess carbohydrates that your body stores as fat is the only reasonable way to become obese.

>>14944
Well, that is just the one study. I'm surprised to hear their conclusion. It would seem obvious that regularly drinking a beverage with a high sugar content would lead to putting on weight.

>>14950
Beer doesn't have a high sugar content, most of the sugar you put in gets fermented. Fizzy soft drinks or sweet ciders would be far worse for sugar.

The thing with beer is that quite a lot of it is water, so you can fill up your stomach a lot faster than if you were ingesting the equivalent energy content in solid form. Sure if you were to drink 15 beers a day every day the calorie content would get to you but very few people drink that heavily compared to the number of people with 'beer bellies'. It's mostly a genetic factor in terms of where your body stores fat and how quickly it metabolises energy.

>>14951

Beer generally rocks in at ~200 calories per pint. Fifteen pints a day on top of a sufficient food intake is not necessary to put on weight. Every beer you drink is like eating a bar of chocolate.

>>14953
>Beer generally rocks in at ~200 calories per pint.
Yes and no. The content will be around 200, but your intake will only be around 50-70. The bulk of the calorific content is in the ethanol, which your body doesn't store.

>>14955
But your body tries to burn it up as fast as it can, thereby making it store carbs as fat.

>The 'beer belly' phenomenom is a myth lad.

Who let Goebbels on.gs?

>>14956
AIUI the body doesn't burn up ethanol at all - hence drunkenness.

>Every beer you drink is like eating a bar of chocolate.

No it isn't. I can eat a bar of chocolate at 8 o'clock on the bus, but I can't sit with me pint of OP without receiving disapproving looks.

>>14958

You pissed, Professor Cox?

Anita Sarkeesian is a goonish, anti-sex troglodyte who's just gaming the media on the pretense that she gives a fuck about anything she's talking about beyond her petty little misinterpretations of them.

I'm upset that she's gained so much traction off the back of acting like victim.

>>14964
She is/was a victim, lad.

>>14956
Not quite, but close. In laymans' terms, alcohol is a (delicious) poison and your body treats it as such. In particular, your liver makes it a priority to metabolize alcohol over other things and, rather than make food available as energy, it takes a shortcut and feeds lipid cells while it's busy breaking down alcohol into something not quite so harmful. That's acetaldehyde if you have an unfortunate genetic trait in that regard (i.e. are not of, roughly, afro-european decent). If not the latter, you probably produce a reasonable of dehydrogenase enzymes to catalyse it into formic acid. I.e. paint stripper to an ant bite.

Either way, your body more happily stores rather than makes available calories while it's fighting off poisoning. So beer in itself doesn't make you fat, but the kebab you have after? Doubly effective.

>>14964

She only mildly irritated me because she was asking for $250,000 to make a web-series, something a million billion other people do on a budget of almost nil.

>>14968
I'm more annoyed about her asking for the money to make the web series and so far only two videos have been made and it took the first video several months after it was meant to go up.

That and the fact the video game footage wasn't even recorded by her at all.

It's made people reluctant to support crowdfunding in the same way people are very annoyed that the Towns developer has dropped the project when it's no where near complete making people lose faith in the early access scheme. There is a lot of anger in the video game community for a variety of reasons and Anita is one of them. She popularized the whole women in video games thing and as a result games are being forced to appeal to a demographic that will not buy them. By demographic I mean the whole SJW crowd who will whine about something as trivial as women not being represented in a world war 2 game. It's kind of like how the BBC will cast a black person to be a nobleman in a period drama where the time period did not look favourably on black people. They're somewhat forced to do that because some busybody will complain about the lack of diversity on that programme.

>>14970

>It's kind of like how the BBC will cast a black person to be a nobleman in a period drama where the time period did not look favourably on black people.

Are you referring to Merlin? IIRC black people were basically considered interesting oddities before the renaissance (they just weren't often encountered, although they existed) and the idea of them as a separate race deserving of contempt didn't really exist until the Atlantic slave trade began.

>>14965
>She is/was a victim, lad.
Of what exactly?

>>14977
Of all the abuse she received from people like you.

>>14998
What's wrong with you.

>>14999
Shouldn't that end with a question mark?

>>15000
¿Maybe?

>>14998

As much as I'd rather not blame victims of internet harassment for their problems, the way in which this particular individual has controlled and cherry picked any negative correspondence that she's received is dishonest and misleading.

That said I don't like to contribute to being a hateful cunt on the internet and I don't condone those that do so.

>>15002
I don't think it would be entirely unfair to say that she brought a good part of that upon herself, which most people who end up in that situation haven't done.

>>15004
I agree. She should not have shown how misogynistic the gaming community is, and she definitely shouldn't have stood up for herself, because she is a woman.

>>15005
u wot m8?

>>15005

Yeah, because being confused by someone taking $160,000 for 'research funding' is woman-hating bigotry. Even her supporters are getting ignored when they're asked "yo Anita where the $ at?" ( e.g. readwrite.com/2013/03/19/anita-sarkeesian-i-love-you-but-please-show-me-the-money ).

People like Sarkeesian are a lot like Pewdepie and Alex Jones; they're experts at developing and monetising their media profiles. Factor in the 160,000 with the substantial level of disclosed donations (see http://www.fisherpersonfrequency.com/donate/donors/ ) you begin to take notice of how much wedge this little project is accruing, relative to the amount of work it really entails (not a lot).

Ironically one of the beneficiaries of this scheme is Jonathan McIntosh, her (maybe) partner and 'producer'. The two have (apparently) been together since 2007. Some stalwart keyboard warrior has done the stalking for me, although a lot of the links have since 404'd; http://anongamer.tumblr.com/

>>15008
In fact let's do a spot of number crunching. According to Sarkeesian, there are over 100 'monthly sustainer' donors to fisherperson Frequency (her website). These sustainers give US minimum each month (see http://www.fisherpersonfrequency.com/donate/ ), up to $25 a month. At a minimum, fisherperson Frequency is taking over $500 a month in donations, plus $160,000 from Kickstarter, plus whatever the approximate 500 'one-time donors' have given (I think $5 is a reasonable estimate, though information detailing this is not available).

This adds up, using my approximate numeracy, to a substantial amount of moolah. I wonder what they spend it on.

>>15009
Even more helpfully, the CPA who manages fisherperson Frequency's accounts ( http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/ - just search fishlady frequency in the box under 'corporation name')

>specializes in Tech Start-ups, Video Game Developers and Manufacturing Companies, Michael has cuumulatively obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax incentives for companies all over the country.
http://www.guenthertax.com/about_us.php

He apparently specialises in knowing how to fiddle with Kickstarter to avoid owing tax, which is a very useful skill when handling $160,000 ( http://www.guenthertax.com/blog/2013/05/dissecting-forbes-article-dissecting-kickstarters-new-tax-guide/ ; http://www.guenthertax.com/blog/2012/05/no-kickstarter-project-should-pay-income-tax-in-their-first-year/ ).

>>15010
This is embarrassing. Go back to the other place, where you can hate on her more efficiently. Maybe there your copypasta would be more appreciated.

>>15013
n1 m8 u showed me real good.

>>15013
Yeah, obviously if anyone calls out a woman on where Kickstarter funds went it's because they're being misogynistic, nothing to do with having apparently pocketed an obscene quantity of other people's money.

>>15015
But that's just a cover for your misogyny, like how "Halal food" is a cover for racists and bigots to hate brown people.

>>15016
Because fraud is totally the same thing as waving a dead chicken in the air.

>>15017
The only "crime" she is guilty of, is the "crime" of being a woman, who spoke out of turn and stood up for herself.

>>15018
You're not fooling anyone.

>>15019
Sorry. You can't bully me, for I am not a woman.

>>15020
So women are weak-willed and feeble-minded enough to be easily bullied? That's misogynistic, lad.

>>15021

Right, that post was trololol-ing to 11, just quit it.
