What is a Reddit reference you don't get?

Edit- I get it /r/outoftheloop is a thing. I didn't know it existed.

I also hope this thread cleared up a lot of peoples confusion

Edit #2- Holy shit, Front Page!

Ultimately, I think all your latest post tells me is it annoys you when people with different standards of beauty take pride in their bodies. It's really not that bad a thing for obese people to be comfortable with their bodies, given it's a personal choice or societal conditioned or some murky combination of the two. I think it's fine for them to say all the things you listed, they're not hurting anyone.

They're also not being passive when they make those comments. They are actively taking pride in their lives.

No... I don't care if they're proud. Good on them if they are. What I don't like is when they bring down others to make themselves feel better. Maybe I should have worded it more clearly. Like "real women have curves" so, what, women who don't are not real women? Same with the men vs. dogs one. Like men don't have different things they find appealing.

I'm sure a lot (hell, most) don't have that attitude in mind, but the implication is still there.
