Someone correctly pointing out that calling people fat is bad is downvoted, and someone called "literally_himmler1" replying with a nerd emoji is upvoted.

I am going to commit sudoku.

The way he phrases it is really weird though. It could either mean "fatphobia is good" or "the fact that we now call it fatphobia and consider it wrong is good". I would say the first requires a smaller logical leap.

    I’m 99% sure that person is saying “don’t make fat jokes” (even towards shitty people).

    The PC statement they start with makes it weird and we’re all conditioned due to whiny conservatives to see PC and think “ohhhhh boy here comes some whining about how I can’t say the N word anymore!” But to me it seems like a legitimate usage of the word.

    Basically saying “I know not everyone is up to date on preferred word usage as to not offend certain people.”

    It could also be read like a right winger saying it and have the opposite meaning but to me that requires injecting brainbroken outside poisoning (which I also have from too much media consumption).

    And their last sentence, if going with explanation one, it just saying what I started with. Or “fat jokes aren’t good/funny.”

    I believe the Himmler guy (what a username) is calling him a nerd for caring about “being PC” to one of the worst people in the world.
