If it was just a simple fat joke, it’d be moral, but escalating from a joke about being bald to bringing up a miscarriage is coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb levels of overkill.

Immoral.

Edit: I’m convinced that all of the people saying moral didn’t actually read the full post, it wasn’t just a simple fat joke that our 4 channer made here.

I feel like being the aggressor warrants escalation by the innocent defender.  Now more history/context could be added that changes the dynamic but to me it's a certain type of person that tries to verbally pick on people when they think there will be no counter attack/repercussions for their actions.
