The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you'd said it at the time

I highly doubt the situation happened. Their insecurity manifested it and it was output into something that made them feel excused. In reality, no one outside of their own mind has thought or said this to them. At least not since junior school.
Just a bunch...

But at the end of the day, it's not true and they're still obese
Buddy.... at the end of the day it's a fucking cartoon calm down
Similar or same delusional nonsense happens every day. It's real. That's the point, but instead of empowering it's actually sad.
Nah dawg you're the only sad one here, on a post about a joke, acting like some kind of fucking weirdo.
Yeah gimpchrist, you tell them.
"Body type"? Is obesity a body type?
It's an illness.
"body type" has always been a general term to express the entire shape, size and proportions of a person, including excess weight and obesity.
When I was obese I couldn't pull off crop tops because of my body size, it was incredibly unflattering, and now that I'm a healthy weight I still can't pull off crop tops because of my body proportions, I have a short torso.
Body type encompasses both scenarios, so it's often thought of as a polite way to tell someone something is unflattering without singling out specific "flaws" in their body.
Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.
...yes?
"Type" is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?
No, like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type

Peak reddit conversation.
ah yes the Ayurveda, an excellent scientific take on the medical condition of the body, my back aches because my Adam's apple is haunted.
What are you trying to say?
you: "is this type of body a body type?"
me: "yes, a type is a type"
you: "no, I meant something really specific" (provides a list of lists)
me: (looking at the list of lists): "this is pure nonsense"
I'm aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I've explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that "body type" isn't just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone's body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.
Respectfully — that's not what you said, though, until now.
Medically obese moment
If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don't want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you
That comeback makes the right one 500 times more attractive js
A sharp wit is more attractive than any physical feature.
Why all those downvotes? What did I miss?
This isn't cringe at all.. 🙄
Dont fight girls, I'll pull it off both of you
A man of culture
Man, I thought Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit. These comments are proving me wrong.
I just don't find obese women attractive, a little 胖乎乎的婴儿肥 is one thing, but not a serious health condition.
We all have our own attractions, that's fine. However, people don't have to meet our standards of beauty to exist and take part in society.
Okay, but let's stop the creeping cultural psychosis and acknowledge it as a massive health crisis that some people have a fetish for.
Hey mods... Ever heard of free speech? People can have opinions... Let people decide by upvotes and down votes. Why the unnecessary censoring?
Can any ladies comment, are girls ever actually this bitchy to each other? This has to be a bit of hyperbole right?
Not a woman, but a some teenager girls I met in high school were absolutely vicious.
I've been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.
I feel like these clothes are the prefect match for the body type on the right. There are many clothes that might not fit the person the the right (also many wouldn't fit the person on the left), but the ones in the comics are not these clothes.
Fat girls do more stuff
The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂
I think all women are beautiful but if you can't live up to these strict standards, it's not the end of the world.
Obese moment
This is one hell of a joke, love it.
I would have been that boyfriend. I always saw women like the right as more attractive and sexual than women like the left. It would infuriate a couple of my friends because I was a pretty boy who had the attention of women they found more appropriate, but I could never get them to understand that those women were like background extras to me in dating terms. It's not even something I willfully do, it just feels natural and correct to want a bbw vixen.
Have we all forgotten about the Venus of Willendorf?
Men have always liked em thicc
that comic is fatphobic. you're making people believe that fat folx are cringe
