Do you think using the word “overweight” sounds less mean than using the word “fat” to describe a person?

Fat illicits a strong response because of connotations and social stigmas. Overweight, however, is a more tactful way of getting a message across.

[NewsReader]

Yeah. Fat sounds more insulting.

[Heterosketero]

I don't care either way. Overweight conditions are primarily caused by fat. I will cinced however, fat implies that you are what you eat, so I get that it hurts. Go after marketers, they conditioned society to judge this way and skinny people are just as stigmatized now, everyone is stigmatized now. Because hunan beings suck. Obesity is where people have a threshold, overweight is fairly normal even from season to season. We need to tackle marketing and not by endorsing unhealthy models, but penalizing these agencies for the unrealistic expectation they shove down out throats. Oh no, you are overweight, try being a white 5'7 guy... Like me.

Who really cares? Someone is always going to be offended, and eventually it's just going to come full circle.

Our government is already back to saying colored people in a sense while promoting segregationist rhetoric, and that only took a few generations.

It doesn't really matter whether you call it "fat," "overweight," or "curvy." We all know what you are talking about and most people see it as ugly, repulsive, and undesireable. That is not an unkind thing to say; it is simply the truth.

I like fat because there’s room for playfulness and Phat. And healthy with fat on interior organs picks can be shown along with propensity to scar liver permanently. No liver…no life.
