People believe what they want to believe. Before I got around to writing this up the story had been going around reddit. It has like 1600 upvotes on fatlogic, all people making fun of the 'oversensitive fatties'. And I'm not saying they're dumb, when this gets reported all over by the media, it becomes easy to take at face value. I guess the real problem is that social justice is so off the rails it's impossible to tell what's actually sarcasm anymore.
