So wait, wait, wait… I’m late to the party. Are people saying it’s _not_ mean to mock poorly dressed fatties, or are we in agreement about that, and it’s another “Stoid is full of shit” thread. Help a sista out. ---

I think most here agree it’s shitty to make fun of folks, but it’s not at all criminal. The reality is though that **Stoid** is being a big ol’ hypocrite, because she- at least at one time- profited off of posting images of people in sexually compromising positions on her website. People that certainly are not at all aware that they’re on some weird vintage porn site. ---

I don’t think Stoid ever said that it was criminal, just that it’s wrong. And it is. But yeah, she’s way full of shit, though. Never would judge anyone harshly about their appearance, bla bla bla, please. Carry on, all. ---

I think it’s shitty to do it to someone’s face, but potentially hilarious if you do it anonymously on the internet. Also, doing it non-anonymously can be okay, if that’s what the person being mocked prefers (ala [Regretsy](http://www.regretsy.com)). ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > I perused the website once or twice before and by modern standards, most of the women were downright chunky. So, your point falls, sir! **Stoid** takes advantage of fat people. And old people. And women. And sex models. Rude. Oh, but they were WILLING!!! That’s PORN. We’re CELEBRATING THEIR FATTNESS!!! I’ll bet many of those women were PUSHED into that work by poverty! That’s right!!! I mean, back then porn was seen as so shameful and wrong!!! So there was no other option, so of course, they became prostitutes, and now look — **Stoid** ’s making money off of them. See, they didn’t really want to do it!!! 😉 (Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Victorian era models were pushed into it. Not all of them, mind you. There’s always one or two, though.) ---

Are people saying it’s _not_ mean to mock poorly dressed fatties, or are we in agreement about that, and it’s another “Stoid is full of shit” thread. Help a sista out. I think we all pretty much agree that it’s mean thing to do, but it’s still potentially funny. Now we have moved on to the “Stoid is full of shit” portion of the thread, as Stoid has managed to bring up every possible ridiculous arguement in her defense of her apparent sainthood, and has still come up short of anything cohesive and non-hypocritical. Pretty standard, really. I’m sure Stoid is at home now thinking about how much smarter she is than all of us, and coming up with a new topic to bring her righteous indignation to. Stay tuned in a few days for another installment. ---

**MeanOldLady** – go back to where she suggests some of these people lost all their clothes in Katrina, and that’s why they look so unflattering. THAT’S how full of shit she is. ---

I saw that and LOL’d. If I recall correctly, she didn’t exactly suggest that they lost their clothes in the Hurricane, but did suggest that poor people who are also very fat may not have many clothing options, and can have some terrible clothing choices if relying on charity. True, but uhm, why did that woman have to wear coochie shorts and a barely-fitting shirt that says “I Am Your Upgrade” again? She tried valiantly to work some bizarre angle that would defend why it’s not laughable when you dress like a total buffoon, and failed rather completely. C+ for effort. ---

Well the actual results would yield a different grade entirely, but I was focusing on the effort put forth, which was half-assed and maybe she actually even believes some of it. It is at times difficult to decipher what Stoid actually believes, and what crazy-ass argument she’s throwing out, hoping someone will latch onto it so that ultimately she can be viewed as right. ---

Yowza, that was quite the meltdown. In other news, I see that since \*\*Stoid \*\*discovered that none of her arguements caused us ‘see the light’ and admit that she is right about everything, she has wisely stayed away from this thread. Instead she’s over in IMHO reminding everyone there how morally superior to them she is: > [@Are you "True to your school" - do you live in alignment with your values?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-true-to-your-school-do-you-live-in-alignment-with-your-values/543350/1): > > Do you really know what your most important values actually are?

This thread makes my head hurt. Seriously, I’m supposed to be pissed because on a site full of people being made fun of for dressing badly, there’s a big woman being made fun of for dressing badly? Give me a friggin’ break. There’s no way in hell that woman put that outfit on by mistake. Even owning a t-shirt that says ‘I’m your upgrade’ is a conscious decision. Jesus - women and men with their asses, cootchies, dicks, boobs, twats and every other body part flopped out, and I’m supposed to be outraged that one of the women is fat? Seriously, **Stoid** , I think your cheese has slid off your cracker. The girl in that pic thought she looked hot - just like all the other women wearing clothing that was way too small on that site. That’s fine, but if you dress in a way to display your ‘wares’ it’s sort of absurd to suggest it’s rude and bullying for people to look, snap a pic, and post it on the internet.
