“Opinions exist” OH FUCKING WHAT?!? I don’t want to invoke any kind of oppression Olympics here but I think we all know that if Kelly had written that seeing interracial couples kissing was ‘gross’ or seeing gay people walking across a room made her feel ill, Marie Claire wouldn’t be calling them ‘opinions, you guyz! opinions!’ Because they’d actually look beyond their own bloody-mindedness for a minute to see that you can’t defend bigotry. There is no defence. Kelly’s ‘apology’ explictly excludes non-dieting fatties and implies that ‘morbidly obese’ people are still, um, gross. It’s not a fucking apology and if Marie Claire can’t see that it’s not worth standing by, they clearly endorse her views. This is worse than the original article. pluseyes: melasaurus: laurendarling: sineadmarie: DEAD @ THE COMMENT THEY MAKE There are no words. ……………………………. Marie Claire, look at your life, look at your choices. Lesley wasn’t making a “counterpoint” to Maura’s “opinion”. Maura doesn’t have an “opinion”, she has an intrinsic and horrible prejudice. It’s not up for debate whether fat people should be allowed in public or not. It’s not up for debate whether this was acceptable to publish as a back-pattingly, self-proclaimed body-positive publication. It’s up for debate whether you guys were all INCREDIBLY drunk when you allowed this bigoted crap to go up on your website, or just your regular level of vapid.
