27 Oct 2014 http://www.businessinsider.com/wal-mart-sells-fat-girl-costumes-2014-10 Guess Wal-Mart are shitlords too (businessinsider.com) submitted 2 days ago by Sunshine_Bag --- CharlieTheK You know what? This is awesome. A massive retailer made a fat product line after years of bitching from fatties that clothing sizes are never stocked in size parachute. And I bet anything these costumes sell. Do the fatties not think the general population thinks "fat" when they see plus sized or big and tall used in a store? Stop putting lipstick on a pig and just own up if you're so fucking strong and sassy. [context: there'd been a massive kick in "HAES" and fat acceptance, which got a rise out of several people. tbf, fat people are generally pretty obnoxious, and the Tumblr HAES FA crowd stirred up some shit, caused a few problems. I'll explain on an HTML page.] --- AestheticalGains Wait so how is this even offensive? 'Fat' isn't a derrogatory term. You're simply fat. 'Girl' since it's for women/womens clothing and costumes. 'Costume' because they're halloween costumes. I like how fat girls think its insulting to call them fat. So what should we call all that stuff around your midsection? the stuff that makes you weigh twice as much as your peers; fluffy love cotton? [one HAES blogger who worked for a fashion company, did try to reclaim the word "fat", which has personal-attack connotations in USA and other english speaking areas. she got in pretty big trouble and lost her job, for calling another person "fat" on her blog. but her whole angle was reclaiming and destigmatizing the word. ended up biting her pretty hard. might have that story somewhere.] [like Fatshion Blogger said "it's great that fat people something something", and then BAM the hammer of speech policing took her job away.] --- scumbag_mcgee Manatee Grey??? Oh shit I lol'ed so hard I almost pissed myself XD [walmart had a few other item listings with subtle shitlording. it was kind of funny to get a glimpse of the SHEER CONTEMPT walmart upper management had for their dedicated shopping base, haha.] --- Ch1rch Manatee grey was the best part of this article. You know some hilarious shitlord at target was getting off on that until it got discovered. --- Fenaeris I was hoping for a review of the product. "2/10 would not recommend, wore for only half a day before I got struck by a boat propeller." --- Ketomatic I know this was probably a mistake but damn if it isn't the best thing I've seen this week. Ham: "They don't have my size :(" WM: "Have you looked in the FATTY FAT FAT FAT SECTION? :D" Ham: "..." --- TopShitlord Why does that not exist, if you've seen "people of Walmart" then you'd know that a FAT SECTION would cater to over 60% 90% of their customers. --- atlantislifeguard Why is it offensive? They are fat. They even admit it and are proud of it. So why can't Walmart say fat? [welllll] --- ellevit That's Jezebel for you. A bunch of fa, imbecile slobs, who hyperventilate every time someone does not call them curvy, voluptuoous goddesses. If they spent 10% of the time exercising that they use for stuffing their faces and blogging about oppreshun, they could buy their stuff in 'size human'. Apparently there was also a fat boy costume section, but noone bothered to whine about that. [solid point. all the fat women and fat strats wonder why fat martins are accepted.] --- notafatty2 total shitlord move! "manatee grey" you can tell it was intentional --- RedHoodedDemon Pretty sure fat skeletons is an oxymoron anyways. [and then a year later, Undertale would come out, and hooooo boy Tumblr went wild] --- mauvellous It's funny because Walmart's clothes are all already giant anyway. This past summer, my luggage got delayed a day at the airport so I went to Walmart and bought a $5 dress. My dress size is usually small, but the small absolutely swallowed me. It was probably two sizes too big at the very least. Cannot even imagine how big someone would have to be to wear Walmart's "fat girl costumes." [walmart is one of the most EGREGIOUS vanity-sizers. their """men's""" M shirts have gut tents. they're all made for fatties. ch/s is what reasonably-sized people get from walmart.] --- Sylentz How come they all say there is nothing wrong with being fat, but cry wolf when fat is used in advertising? Its not like they said you fat land whale beets planet. --- TheFatBlueWhale 5 points6 points7 points 1 day ago (0 children) -"WE FAT GURLS ARE BEAUTIFUL! HONOR OUR CURVES!" -"Oh well then, let me just create a webpage just for you! :D" -"OMG YOU FILTHY SHITLORD YOUR CATEGORY IS DISCIMINAISHUN!" I dont even... --- kaijukrunch And yet they'll still shop there anyway. Cheap beetus by the pack for all. --- scumbag_mcgee Well, in this case I would say it's walmart that feeds the fat bitches, not the other way around...imagine if walmart suddenly dissapeared overnight...the average body weight of the population of the U.S. would decrease by like 10 lbs in 2 weeks. --- Joeystals And god forbid the fatties stop going to Walmart, "But I need to get my Mcbeetus and my shopping done at the same time. Driving them carts requires energy." [ohhh those store motor carts... so many juicy stories involving them!!] --- Exit_Only A company like Walmart likes to conserve and save on every corner. Saying "Plus-Sized Girl Costumes" simply eats up bandwidth versus saying "Fat Girl Costumes". Think of those extra bits and bites of a few extra letters in the long run. [today that's kind of odd to consider. it's not like they have 1980 computers. then again, in 2012 IRL i'd see IBM machines from like the late 80's in use at stores.] --- kiss-shot Fat bitches will be so quick to claim their fatness but as soon as someone else tells them like it is their gargantuan asses are inflamed. I thought they said fat isn't a bad word? --- Allforthe2nd Fatties don't shop at Walmart for 2 days. Stock goes down. Buy stock. Fatties shop at Walmart again after a few days, make monies. === rcv jan 2021
