Do these fatties have Munchausen's syndrome? Munchausen's is when someone fakes being sick to get attention, or does something to get themselves sick and receive the attention. So are a lot of these tumblr fatties just continuing to be fat and post pictures of their disease so people will give them sympathy? Maybe it isn't the exact proper term for what they're doing, but it opens an interesting question. Are these peoples lives so pointless that the only thing they have of note going for them is that they're fat?
