Fat Acceptance is stupid if it means what I think it means
Ideally it shouldn't mean "Gorge away! Being fat is alright and there is nothing wrong with it! What health problems?" But I think there is some merit in trying to prevent the overweight becoming acceptable targets for ridicule.
No one deserves to be ridiculed and made the target of "socially acceptable" or "justified" harassment. It is not okay. But that's already happening, and starting a movement that supports fat people in being okay with being fat can't help but inevitably in some ways support the idea of not trying to change that. Obesity is a disease. One that people should be able to live with comfortably only as long as it takes them to rid themselves of it.
Eh, the reason I'm okay with my body and I'm able to do things like go shopping (which required me to tell Pony my pants size, which I nearly died over) is because of certain branches of Fat Acceptance.
So I don't hate on it too much. But a lot of it is really ridiculous.
No offense Mr "Lead Designer" but this is what you should have been providing for PC users ****ing MONTHS ago, not 3 weeks before release and shove us off an old press build of a section of the game that isn't even representitive in part or whole of what the game is like.
I'm glad there's this video to watch, cause compared to what you've done with DA:O you've given us almost nothing to whet our appetite like you did with the first game, and frankly it's insulting.

In an ideal world, "Fat Acceptance" would be combatting your first sentence alone, and maybe provide solidarity for overweight people to work together to help deal with it. I agree trying to get people to "accept" fat people like we would accept gays is not the healthiest (pun intended) way to go about it.

so, assuming that the time 'it takes' passes them by- they don't care, and don't attempt to change
do you then think that they oughtn't be able to "live with [it] comfortably"
like, if they don't care, is it then okay to make them uncomfortable

Like pretty much all acceptance movements, Fat Acceptance started out with a good notion (fight shaming and discrimination against fat people) and then it turned into Fat Pride.
That's where acceptance movements lose their way, usually, when they stop just being about fighting shame and mockery and start being about being proud.
Fluffy, tell them of my tale. Lie and exaggerate, please.
*croak*
He was a big man. Stout of heart, and swift of foot. Many a lass would crumble under his gaze, and almost as many would find themselves grinning foolishly after an evening's delights. Gim was an artist, a man with a gift for sound mixing and alcoholism, who enjoyed the company of such men as Bob Dylan, and Jeff Goldblum, with whom he owned a hot air balloon. But sadly like all legends, he died tragically, harpooning a whale with his penis.

There's a reason pride is the deadliest sin. :P
Pride didn't do that much damage in the FMA anime, but in the manga, damn was Pride powerful. It all depends on your mediums, man.

The time it takes never passes you by. The time it takes is the time up until you lose the weight or you die.

there aren't any available to play in
and I wouldn't get to use a character concept if I were running the game what about online but not PbP?
But who would suck his dick when his lady has to work?
why
Also everyone else who has it

mah
dick
sucked
and not from my crazy ex, either
It is fun. Give it time, it plays more like WAR than WoW I find. I mean the difference is super subtle. But you will notice it the more you play.

You can heal my tank any time.
Tank is my second favorite!
Also I am getting more beastly with the shotgun erryday
What kind?
runs into the exact same scheduling issues as offline, except now i have to factor in people's timezones
fuck that
Cheese pizza from Pizza Pizza. Maybe with some onion rings.
But I think I'll stay in. I'm pretty tired.

In TF2 I am pretty beastly as Heavy
In MNC I suck as Gunner
I like how many of the classes are similar and yet play very differently for the most part
Or I should say they should be played very differently
Do...do they put the onion rings on the pizza?
No, that's just weird
I still have 11.5 pounds before I hit my first major target, and 61.5 before I hit my second.
but why is PbP inherently terrible apart from being slow as fuck, or is that it?
Keep talking, host.
It's hard to get into a decent groove as a Scout, but once I do it's great.
can't fucking do a damn thing properly.
so pissed
Man you know who suck?
Snipers.
Well done, sir! What's your method? Leeches and diet cabbage?
As in they are the only class that I wish would be removed from the game entirely
Why, yes, that is a fantastic song.
hi5 Noct
What to get...
