Sorry, BRC, but I'm not going to let go of this male/female fat people point you brought up.
Here are just some of the men that CP has at one point fat shamed to criticize what they say or how they're doing their job:
Scott Pioli
Andy Reid
Jason Whitlock
Romeo Crennell
Billy Butler
Mark Mangino
Charlie Weis
And those are just a handful who work in sports. There are many more politicians, actors, and even CP posters themselves who get fat jokes thrown their way.
Let's take a look at the women CP has fat shamed over the years:
Brooke Pryor
Chiefs cheerleaders (who actually aren't even medically overweight at all)
Clay's girlfriends (whom we have no freaking clue if they're actually fat)
billay's girlfriends (again, we haven't met them... we're just calling them fat to throw shit at billay)
I'd say it's more about CP reaching for low-hanging fruit (making jokes about a person being fat) than it is about using fat jokes to drive an agenda or marginalize a specific type of person. Wouldn't you? Basically, if you're fat and you do something CP has a problem with, you're gonna get a fat joke thrown your way.
You can tell the forum to "grow up" all you want, but the truth is this forum has always been about letting your crass side be free to say what it wants as much as possible, because we often can't just go around the office saying crap like this. Sorry if you don't like it. It's not gonna change.
