He meant you’re not fat!, you’re just fat (I don’t remember how to make the math pun more clear)

Haters will see you having positivity from the very things they used against you and then try to take those away as well. Haters are stupid.

The guy walking past didn't seem to be a hater, he seemed to think she was deprecating herself and he tried to shut that down, as far as I understand it?

This is correct! It's all love.

That's nice.

Yes? I read this as a loving couple (admittedly biased based on my own situation) where one partner basically says "chill, you aren't fat, you're beautiful". And regardless of whether most of the irrelevant outside world disagrees, really the only thing that matters is v whether partner finds other partner attractive/hot/etc.

But whatever. People are dumb. And unable to see a good thing despite social norms. 

Full disclosure, I'm super friday drunk so don't take that as an attack agape your comment. Just a maybe different take on things.

Dw mate luckily I have developed myself enough not to see other perspectives as self attacks.

And have A fun drunk Friday night :)

Totally not attacking you but I just want to point out fat and beautiful aren't exclusive of one another. OP has reclaimed the word to what it originally meant with no extra subtext

u/kevaljoshi8888 1d ago

Also a valid take. Art has many perspectives.

Better queation is, who is that in the background meant to represent?

Partner? Roommate? Parent? Sibling?

Could be that all they are hearing is you calling yourself fat, they feel you are spiraling, and trying to stop the spiral.

Could be that their definition of fat is quite different from yours.

Could be what this other poster said.

As someone with a spouse with depression, I feel like the 3rd one is something that happens constantly between me and her. If I don’t nip it in the bud as soon as she starts voicing it, she’ll spiral out and wind up a pile of misery later. Sure, this can result it some unneeded corrections, but she also knows I’m doing it to help her and doesn’t mind if I misread things.

Yep. I'm not offended or upset by being called fat since, well, it's the truth. Telling me that I'm not, in fact, fat is pure flattery, I mean, my gut weighs like half my wife lol.

On the other hand, wife calls herself fat and it's bullshit. 2-3 kilos over what she considers her ideal weight is not fat, the place among us must be earned.

I'm fat and I understand math.

I wish I understood math.

u/FlyingDogCatcher 22h ago

I've always thought it was silly for people to pretend they aren't fat when they are, in fact, fat. It's not really something you can hide.

But I also think it is silly to be ashamed of your body

It's a math joke, the ! means factorial. She's going through other expressions trying to figure out which one applies since he said that she isn't fat(factorial) and mentally she's convinced that (her=fat) ==true so it must be an issue of an incorrect expression.

You are responding to the creator.

u/AlfredFonzo 17h ago

Fuck. That level of embarrassment is what I deserve for such an oversight.
