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

But the serving size is the same as with any human! It's the fat per serving you need to watch out for. Amateurs!

Arsonists. A calorie is a measure of energy needed to heat and they increased the temperature of the building. Thus, high calorie.

On the website for your instance, you can change your display name. I googled a random fancy text generator and copy/pasted.

I'm not down about it, I expected some downvotes from a question like this, because Lemmy isn't that different from reddit 😅

I don't know, calling myself high calorie sounds nicer than calling myself fat. Maybe I'll call myself high calorie from now on.
