Zaq can play the game all he wants and pretend that his reasons for finding Beth unattractive are not related to her weight, but I've been around for too long and have seen sizeism take on many guises. This is just one of them. As I've said before, I don't expect Zaq to find Beth attractive. Attraction is subjective and my point is not to make others find fat people attractive. My point is that Zaq's comparison pics are unnecessary, since his point in posting them is to underscore exactly how unattractive he finds Beth Ditto. Believe me, we fat people know how you feel about us. We know you find us unattractive, socially unacceptable, lazy, slovenly, unambitious, etc. We don't need to see those viewpoints repeated ad infinitum everywhere we go.

The fact still remains he posted a picture of a woman of a woman he found attractive and a woman he didn't.
It was YOU who bought up the fat issue, all I said was that he could have posted a picture of any woman that is disliked by people whether that woman be fat, thin, yellow, orange, purple ...whatever.
Beth Ditto is the last obnoxious female I can think of to come along in the world of music, I dislike her just in the same way I disliked Karen O before her and Courtney Love before her. Neither of those two are fat, just extremely annoying. In fact I suggest you do a Courtney Love search on the forum. The amount of abuse that woman gets here is much worse than anything Ditto gets.
And one last thing, please don't make assumptions about people posting here.
'How you feel about us', What is that supposed to mean?
My Mother, my sister and myself have battled with weight issues before.
Stop making yourself out to be a victim or a martyr all the time.While it's admirable you want to do something about this try picking your battles a little better. All I've seen you do so far is gloss over what people say to push your own agenda and personally I think that is one of the most annoying things you can do on a forum.
