Do people make jokes about cancer? No... that's sick. You wouldn't make fun of schizophrenics, and you wouldn't tell someone acting stupid "LOLOL YOU'RE SO LIKE A DOWN'S KID. LOLOL."
Not lolol. what the heck. Same with using "gay". It hurts people. Its not constitutional, but its also not unconstitutional... I know you can't technically be punished for being offensive. But its not just being mean.
Nowadays, people throw the word "anorexic" and "bulimic" around like they're jokes. Eating a salad? Anorexic! Fasting for one day? Anorexic! Skinny? Anorexic!
Its not a joke. Its not a joke just like being gay is not a joke. In this case, anorexia is a disease. It's a mental disorder that kills more than schizophrenia and Down's. It's so freakishly insensitive to use these murdering words as "just kidding" moments. Just like every other disorder, this sickness dictates people's lives.
One day, these victims will believe you and give you every reason to never call them fat again.
