AndyYouGoonie
Mine was "(lolwatnope)" only because I could picture the absurd looks of comical incredulity on their faces from her comments.
QWTFODDBALL
I like how the focus is that shes a bitch because shes fat not that shes a bitch because shes a bitch.
TheYasu
Probably just to accentuate how much food she was stealing/consuming. (I know sometimes skinny people put down tons.)
shadowlev
When someone is a vile human being, you can't help but point out their other flaws. "Horse face" is a common insult for skinny girls.
heyoJames
Doradus seemed insecure about her own weight, which fueled most of her behavior. So, yes, she was a bitch because she was fat.
DanceComander
This. If she were skinny, she would just be a bitch, but a fat girl who's a bitch- CLEARLY it has to do with her weight.
SpecialTrampDanaScullyFBI
but most of the things that made her so obnoxious had to deal with her eating.
From my reading, I gathered she was obnoxious more because of her attitude and her hitting on the roommates and sleeping naked in his bed.
Her taking the food was just an added negative.
vorduul
That was a fairly well-written short-story. That she was an asshole had nothing to do with her weight, though.
queerboy7
THANK YOU.
chainletter
welcome to /fit/
cleverrobot
Agreed about the fat being kind of irrelevant, although it tied in a little. Regardless, she sounds just awful and this story was hilarious.
One gets the impression that fat makes a person 'bad' in their eyes because they find fat gross. It's not unlike homophobia.
meta666
It's nothing like homophobia. Being overweight is an unhealthy lifestyle choice you can do something about.
sheebalasvegas
not in every case
socrateshaditallright
Agreed.
ellaellaellaeheheh
Ah, but behavior wa partly induced by her weight ideas of being a "real woman" with curves and likely, jealousy that M had the whole package
Being fat doesn't make you a dick who feels the need to tell other people how to look. She's a bitch who happens to be fat.
welpp
"Being fat doesn't make you a dick" is true. "That she was an asshole had nothing to do with her weight" is false.
IKissedAMagikarp
THIS.
PurpleThomas
Her weight probably had lots to do with her being an asshole, though.
A stuck up bitch is a stuck up bitch. Self confidence isn't inherent;y being an asshole, she took it too far however with her attitude (1)
Cassodeus
I hate stuck up bitches, fat or skinny.
Of "everyone wants me". That's got nothing to do with weight, skinny chicks do the same thing. (2)
I am saying she probably overeats because she has poor self-control, and that poor self-control is also what makes her an asshole.
hette
Best justification I've seen in this thread. Upvoted.
Ok, that makes more sense, sorry bout that.
Ronano
It did tie into it. You can see especially from the dress-testing part. And according to this, she did eat A LOT - caused household problems
Damaging someone's property by being careless with it and stealing their food have nothing to do with being overweight.
topsu
She wouldn't steal their food if she wasn't overweight.
lebayum
wat
I have to state - again, in this particular case, it did. She ruined the dress because it wasn't her size, but she tried to force it.
She didn't do that because she was fat. She did it because she was a careless asshole. Correlation does not equal causation.
Well, it seems to me to be an emotional problem most probably tying in with it, and all of these things are both a cry for attention(1/2)
AreWeHumanOrAreWePandas
This is one of the best things I've ever read. +1. Especially the fucking Marilyn Monroe bullshit. She was like a size 6
AssDamnCoffee
When he said "The whole 9" he meant some metaphor; basically saying that she implied she looked exactly like Monroe :P
kenzieriann
but don't fuckin' COMPARE yourself to her. Shit bruh. Chicas be pissin' me off.
MeAnd2Bs
Anyone who thinks Marilyn Monroe was a plus size needs to get eyeballs.
Yeah, she was under 140 her entire life and was 5'6. Fat rolls are not curves...
PRAISEKORROK
and in today's sizing she would be a size 0 I think.
mailau
Probably 4-6 based on the measurements I've seen (36-23-36). She'd probably have to get the waist taken in though...she's more hourglass
can't just use the smallest number to get the size. Have to use the largest (if it's a form fitting non stretch dress) and take it in
Plutoisstillaplanet
looking at her, I'd guess she'd be a UK 8-10 in today's sizing..I'm 6-8 and she's definitely got more of a figure than me, not fat though.
Jeez, I read it in another comment a while ago, I don't even remember the details, this is some secondhand info, never said it was true.
godgavemetitsandsarcasm
actually she was a size 10
darkdragonempress
Size 14 actually. Though that doesn't mean much. I am a size 14 because of my shoulder and hip width. Stomach is entirely different.
Like "omg i'm totally her size!". I would know, i'm almost the size as the whale in the story, -~50 lbs.
thank you! marilyn was the ORIGINAL 36-24-36. yes, men like curves. but fat is not curves, ladies. (please note: i am a lady myself)
Naseth
Yes please! Marilyn wasn't 109 lbs. and she wasn't 185 lbs. either. No hate for the skinny or the thick ladies, but let's be real plz.
Solisav
She was even more pronounced than that. 35-22-35, it's whacky! Kinda neat though.
mremaknu
I can't imagine why so many people don't get that curves means hourglass, god dammit, not wet dough. Sigh. Being a stick isn't curvy either.
imsobadatpickingusernames
+1 for "wet dough"
Word. As a larger woman, I don't understand ladies my size comparing themselves to her. Look at her as a roll model and aim to be her (1/2)
zeshoopuf
I wouldn't advice looking at her as a role model, she did have a drug problem and all.
Well, in terms of her figure, I mean. I'd kill for those hips and thighs, but I'm happy the way I am.
You don't want those thighs. They make finding fitting pants really, really difficult.
I'm bigger than her. Finding good looking, well fitting clothes in general is a nightmare.
Heh. Roll model.
I do my best.

Hope I don't get downvoted for this. But I don't think this site is legit. Her measurements are close to my own and I'm a size 12.
Are you a lot taller than her? I've got 2-3'' on all of her measurements and fit in anything between 4 and 8 depending on brand...
Height shouldn't make too much of a difference if your bust/waist/hips are similar. I was probably closest to her size a couple years ago(1)
(2) and that's when I could fit in an 8 or 10 depending on the brand. I don't think anyone with a 36D bra could be a size 0...
Actually I had read she was a 9/10, but still nowhere near the size that most plus sized girls like to try to claim so that they can be (1)
everyone tries to say she was a 16 but a uk 16 is an american 12. but her clothes were all custom regardless.
ThomasLieven
but you have to consider that all the sizes are changed now and then, so that the shift in weight doesn't look too drastic.
'They' tend to say she is a 12. 10 and 12 are next to each other in size (9 is just the "juniors" version of 10. (Girl sizing is dumb)
But a size 12 today was a size 8 a few years ago (I know, i've been in lots of sizes over the last few years lol) And yes, it is SO DUMB.(2)
Ok I see the problem. 35-25-35 used to be a size 10. Now that's about a 4 or 6.
Well it depends where you read. A lot of people (not just big girls) say that her size back then is the equivalent of a size 12 today, (1)
ilikepieilikecake
I am currently a size 0. 50 years ago, I would have been a size 14. But I've seen pics of MM ribs, she was tiny.
