    Like, as a fat guy I never took it to be like "Look at these gross uggos, their corpulence makes me gag"

    It always seemed to me to be about the fact that these guys have deluded themselves into thinking they're "Tier One Operators" and couldn't take over a damn bowl of Jell-O

      As a fellow fat guy, I feel the same way as far as how I personally take it.

      In terms of policy though, I think that if a fat joke directed at reactionaries could hurt even one comrade who struggles with body image, it should be removed. Personally, I remove any body-shaming comments I see no matter who they're directed at.

        We can still call Trump a cheeto though right?

        Us liberals need that.

          That joke is very specific to Trump himself, so I think it's fine for now at least, but I can still see why it might hurt someone in certain cases.

      I mean the fact that they were getting Burger King delivered to Forward Operating Bases really says it all.
