    How is arguing what relative terms mean a thing? Skinny means less fat than someone else, usually the “average” which obviously varies wildly from many factors. Fat means fatter than that same idea. The definition will vary person to person. This thread is full of people who confuse their opinion with objective truth.

        Way too many people interested in litigating absolute definitions of relative terms that have already been thoroughly distorted by marketing and mass media (thank you, 90s and 2000s sitcoms for teaching me that anyone who isn’t heroin chic is embarrassingly heavy).

        Also a lot of the commenter have never had family, friends, or perfect fucking strangers comment on their bodies and it shows.
