Comments

In this example, the fat insults are clearly negative behavior, though. "Bad habit" and also... that's what the example illustrates. Heinous outward behavior. So we assume the insults aren't jokes between two understanding friends.

Your situation is fine, but it's a completely different thing. (Though you could argue that if someone frequently calls their friend fat or makes fun of their weight as a joke, that still reinforces the idea that demeaning overweight people is fine.)

It still could be argued that it varies in situations. I have a cousin who calls her boyfriend a pig out of endearment when he eats 3 plate-fulls worth for dinner. She clearly loves him and smiles at him when she says it and it makes him laugh. He's also super fit, so it's not meant to be mean.

Yes, it could mean different things in different situations. But in this situation we're talking about right here, it's negative. Gosh, this is frustrating but it feels like you're either trolling me or simply not reading/understanding what the original comment said. The whole point was to illustrate an example of people who try to rationalize bad outward behavior. So yes, in this situation that we are discussing right here, the insult was a straight up insult.

YES, sometimes people insult each other in fun. That is not what the comment was about, so bringing up examples of how people insult each other for fun is interesting, but not actually relevant to the discussion at hand, which I've reiterated above. Nobody is arguing that insults are always insults all the time with no mitigating circumstances ever, okay?
