My speculation, but I think the down votes are because the comment had nothing to do with the post. So a way to filtering out, out of scope comments. Asking about the display name on a post about high calorie ppl setting an apartment on fire is pretty random after all 😂
It is also a useless description for the visually impaired. It doesn't mention that they are in an elevator, what color the gas can is it any other useful information about the picture.
To be fair to people who are offended by this, the weight of the criminal seems entirely irrelevant so it's pretty obvious that the intention was to rile people up.
The weight of the criminal is as relevant as their height, if not more. It's not as long-term stable as height, but it's at least as important as an identifier. Even more so in countries where obesity isn't that common.
There are some that consider the term obese to be derogatory.
I don't agree with that opinion, but I can understand where they come from. I generally support body positivity with a heavy dose of realism. Being overweight shouldn't be a reason for someone to treat you poorly, but pushing the idea that being overweight isn't unhealthy is where I draw the line.
If I were medically overweight I'm sure I would also not like any term that directly points to something considered a very negative trait, however clinical the word is.
@kajib@Cold_Brew_Enema literally they are just fat. It's not anyone's business besides their own. That the original story/post makes note of them as even "high calorie" is ridiculous too
when you hire a cannibal to write the news
But the serving size is the same as with any human! It's the fat per serving you need to watch out for. Amateurs!
I'll take the.crackling if you don't want it.
Arsonists. A calorie is a measure of energy needed to heat and they increased the temperature of the building. Thus, high calorie.
How did you get your name like that?
On the website for your instance, you can change your display name. I googled a random fancy text generator and copy/pasted.
I dunno why you're getting all these downvotes... I got a free TIL out of it 🤷
I'm not down about it, I expected some downvotes from a question like this, because Lemmy isn't that different from reddit 😅

passive aggressive body positivity
Two gravitationally gifted pachyderms wanted for setting a flame's kiss to a personal urban retreat.
Higher than average space time distorters
Individuals with an above-average amount of gravitational power
This screams manufactured outrage.
Considering it's "keep6solid", and not any real news sources, yea.
Two fat fucks cheeto snorting, cheezwiz drinking, McDonald's serial eater, watermelon-with-feet-looking land whales
Knees weak, arms are heavy, you got vomit on your sweater already, mom's spaghetti.
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bomb, but he keeps on forgetting
Don't forget that they're DIET coke drinkers, because they want to stay healthy
They prefer the term 'horizontally challenged'
Screw you guys ! am not fat, am just a high calorie human.
When you try not to offend anybody and end up making it worse
Could be malicious compliance in the face of a policy to be "politically correct".
People of size
I don't know, calling myself high calorie sounds nicer than calling myself fat. Maybe I'll call myself high calorie from now on.
could have used "body-positive" for more positivity
Damn they gonna burn that calories
That's a fantastic pun.
This is valuable information, if you are interested in eating them.
How will they ever be recognized with those little masks
Is it ok if I’m laughing? I don’t want to offend my low calories soy milk.
It's just someone being a smug asshole. Why else would they waste text to describe something that is shown in the picture.
Pictures are transcribed all the time for the visually impaired.
It is also a useless description for the visually impaired. It doesn't mention that they are in an elevator, what color the gas can is it any other useful information about the picture.
Two "utes" 😉
Two hwhat?
Imperfect Cell writing articles now?
Delish...
Two fat hoes
God forbid anyone use the word "obese." Don't want to trigger anyone.

The outlet that posted this is conservative and intended to rile people up on purpose.
You couldn't possibly know if they're obese unless you were their doctor.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm
Poe's Law
It is! But it's a bit sad we have to think about it.

Those fat asses are obese
Those women would be getting concerned friends saying they look dangerously thin in most of the US...
I think the proper term is "2 fat bitches"
The next big hit rap title just dropped.
