But that evident, lasting benefit is now in danger because of Pinterest, a website. How will people with weight problems ever be goaded into self-care, if they aren’t constantly made to feel insecure by the people trying to sell them gimmicky products while they look at pictures of home decor and anime pillows?
Not this.

This.

What’s the reason this is bad? I’m curious. The phrase, I mean. Seems innocent?
I assume because it's limiting/excluding some pronouns.
If they just changed it to “Welcome, beings” would that cover evryone, or not? I’m serious. Would anyone claim exclusion or bias there?
Or, y'know ... "Welcome!"
Y’know, there is a silver lining here as we could be on the path toward full scale cancellation of gender reveal parties.

Maybe they just think it’s easier to ban it all and not have to police which is good and which is a fad.

Yeah that dead sexy Gina Carano took up the bulk of these pages. Probably should have had her own thread, honestly.

Maybe, but it’s more likely it’s a “fat acceptance” signal. Which in one sense is positive because shaming and bullying overweight people is not a good thing, but on the other hand obesity is a major contributor to everything from cancer to COVID to diabetes to heart disease. Society has vested interest in eliminating it. We can simultaneously not be dicks to overweight people and not endorse it as an oppressed identity group in need of corporate coddling.

We could call it "Anybody want a Carano?"

The only sports thread worth participating in is the professional rastling thread.

The only time I pay any attention to that guy is when he loses his shit every time the Knicks fail to win the draft lottery.
