Insatiable: Petition to stop Netflix 'fat-shaming' show


SJW outrage from the fat pride movement.

The PC Police will not be happy until a 100% inoffensive show is on. No permitting jokes or violence or sexy roles or oddball behavior or conflict of any form.

That's it! I'm going to start a GoFundMe to promote a 2 hour weekly show about paint drying. It will probably make a 100-million bucks in the first week.

That paint better not be white!

Thanks for the tip

You beat me to that obvious one!

The SJW's were wrong in the end. The show makes the point repeteatedly, that the girl's problems did not stem from her being fat.

reply

They were probably mean girls in High School and NOT fat.

Are you serious?!! That is soo dumb! What is wrong with people!?

reply

I hope it (the petition, not the show) fails. I thought this show was pretty good. Better so far than Disenchantment anyway. (And the accusations seem absolutely ridiculous.)

The OP is what is destroying good TV. I hate PC. It will kill us all

Satan2016 is destroying good TV?

How so Oliver?

reply

The OP represent the typical person that is offended by everything he/she see on TV. Back in the days we had shows like Married with Children and Mad TV that made fun of EVERYTHING without fear. They will never make shows like these anymore because people like the OP get upset like babies at everything on TV. They take everything so seriously!

reply

I don't think the OP is agreeing with the article. My take is that Satan2016 is just making us aware that social justice warriors are on the attack.

reply

Actually yeah , you right! My apologies to the OP. It just I am tiered of people trying to dictate what we should have and should have not on TV/Digital service according to their personal belief :( I did not even like that show but I still think it should be allowed on Netflix. So correction what I meant is "the people this article is about is what is destroying TV"
lol

reply

Totally agree with your correction. I especially get annoyed when this type of person hasn't even watched the show, but is judging based on a two sentence blurb about the show or a 30 second preview.

reply

How insensitive all you people are! As an obese person myself, I just alfjaljojjklllllllljjjjiiillllllllllllllllllllll. Sorry, I dropped cake frosting on the keyboard and had to lick it off. Like I was saying, you people disgust me with your intolerance!

reply

LOL

reply

The entire message behind the show is that being thin doesn't make you happy?

reply

Yep and honestly, they are pretty spot on with the binge eating stuff in the second season. People that don’t have that problem might think it’s over the top or spoofy but honestly I felt like it was pretty accurate for many people.
