I didn’t catch that, but if one of the follow-up AS posts is still there in the controp thread, I think I see what’s going on (not a rando, sadly).

Saturday, October 10, 2020 4:38 PM Site the burrito that defined a generation has been banned permanently. Seven day timeout. Please listen to the people asking you to stop posting like that

I think burrito was quadrupling down on his right to fat shame Chris Christie and people FP-ed accordingly but...I guess all of the offending posts were deleted? Which is weird.

oops xpost
afaik we've had some clusterfucks in here recently, but mostly this is a "hey how did this person get yellow-carded/banned, I missed it" thread.
this particular one doesn't seem to be clusterfucky, and I tend to not read the ones that turn into THIS BAN WAS UNJUST!

None of the posts were deleted - but yes the Burrito situation in an absolute open and shut case of what I was talking about re: failing or refusing to acknowledge the sensitivities of the posters around you and then doubling down on it when you've been asked to stop. Except yes in this case it was more like quadrupling down. The number of FPs spiralled really quickly on this one.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 13 October 2020 11:37 (three years ago) link
Burrito knew he'd be banned and I read it as a protest against new moral strictures. But idk, slightly weird hill to die on given how there are much more piquant ways to skewer the shambling ogres of the American right than 'tub of lard'
― Chip-vill-A (imago), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 11:52 (three years ago) link
my read was that burrito's goal was to skewer the ~~~PC culture~~~ of people on the board who are ~~~too sensitive~~~; thus every post after the first time it was called out was motivated by trying to troll the room. really obnoxious, antisocial behavior imho; hope he comes back acting better.

i don't feel strongly about the banning and agree burrito was asking for it. but burrito has some good qualities, and any comparison to Gervais is cruel.
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
reading the thread in question -- it seemed kinda a "gray area" to me, like I will hit the FP when I see fat-shaming most of the time, but ... it's kinda like going back to the Thatcher is Dead issue (from years ago) ... if a person in power is that horrible and oppressive, I feel less like policing people? But, enough other posters feel that is worth policing, so it is a relief to me (mostly in that I wouldn't want that decision to be only mine to make, because I have mixed feelings).
In other words, I'm not going to be posting the masturbating orangutan video in protest ... even though I do like burrito a lot

trump's insatiable gluttony - for attention, for power, for irresponsibility and yes, for terrible fast food - is an undeniable part of what makes him such a repugnant figure. given his tremendous and misplaced vanity and loathing for anything not Maxim-approved as beauty, it's not a huge leap from there to mock him as "fat" as an easy way to hoist him by his own petard. one of the many rhetorical errors there is that playing the insult game by Trump's rules lowers you to his piggish level and unnecessarily sideswipes any number of people whose only association with this dipshit is a BMI in the same zipcode.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 17:49 (three years ago) link
pointing out Trump's multilayered gluttony or infantile diet can be valid responses to his own attacks on other people's attitudes or his assessment of them physically. Chris Christie is not mocking anyone else for their body afaik.

I think it’s important that people remember that the bans under the new rules are temporary, lasting only seven days. unperson will be unbanned tomorrow, burrito just a few days later. Nobody’s “online existence” is under threat. The rules themselves are potentially quite temporary as well, since we all agreed to just try this out for six months and then see what we think.

also just a reminder, linking fatness to some kind of lapse in judgment or fundamental moral failing is one of the most fundamental and toxic aspects of fatphobia. people who are fat are *routinely treated like* they are selfish, indulgent, immoral pariahs lacking in self control. among the ways this happens is people telling dumb jokes or leaning gleefully into phrases like "tub of lard." so to pick out a terrible person and go "hey it's cool to tell these dumb jokes and mock THIS guy's fatness, because HE'S a selfish, indulgent, immoral pariah lacking in self-control!" --- this is just repeating bodyshaming myths with the words in a different order. and again, i have yet to see any fat activists or to my knowledge any fat people at all saying "oh actually, if it's turning the tables on someone who shames others for their bodies, then it's a-ok!". i am not fat, but i don't want this board to be something i'd be ashamed to reveal to my fat friends.

i have yet to see any fat activists or to my knowledge any fat people at all saying "oh actually, if it's turning the tables on someone who shames others for their bodies, then it's a-ok!"
someone who shames others for their bodies and is a horrible person in a position of great power ... I'm not entirely "a-ok" with it, but tbh, I was not as un-ok with it as I would be for most other people. See also wishing death on horrible people in positions of great power.... but I'm an actual fat person so ... idk?
