People suck.

Really, that there is the gist of it, but for those of you who want details...

I am not fat. I am chubby, yes, I will freely admit that. I'm not anywhere near the kind of rotund appleshaped people you see, though, or even pear shaped - actually, I do have an hourglass figure, even if the proportions aren't anywhere near classic. But yes, I do have some weight to lose off of my stomach, and this is why I've been going to the gym lately and eating better and such.

I certainly do not think I qualify for a moniker like 'stranded whale'.

You see, last week, on the CSSS's board in the hallway that tells about what the society is and what it does, and who the execs are and such, the pictures of the executive members finally went up - after almost a year, mind. It's been on the agenda for about that long to get the thing set up. Well, it finally happened, and all was well.

Except this morning, it was pointed out to me by a concerned member that someone had defaced my picture. Put a line through the 'Treasurer' title and scribbled underneath of it 'stranded whale'.

Wow, guys. For starters, what the fuck is this, high school? Here I was thinking we were adults and all.

Second of all, I'm not that upset about the fact that you think I'm fat; I'm okay with the way I look, and that's enough for me. I don't have to please anyone else with my body. I'm more pissed off about the fact that you think defacing someone's picture with such cruel shit is okay. I don't know what the fuck makes you think that trying to hurt someone's feelings is happy fun times, that trying to grind their self-esteem into the mud, that giving them the same lines that they've probably heard a million times as a fat kid or teenager is in any sense of the word okay.

I'm glad it was me you did it to, because I know that you're spouting diarrhea from your writing hand. Some people wouldn't. Some would be extremely hurt by what you did. And that isn't okay.

There are a ton of members in the society - and indeed, on the executive - who are heftier than I. Maybe it's the fact that the VPR's a guy and allowed to be fat, or something, and that means that I get your scorn instead. Women aren't allowed to be anything more than beanpoles, is that it?

Are you going to go after the elections posters in the hallway next and tag all the people women with (what you think are) ugly faces, m'dear? One of the potential science reps has dreads. Is that not what a woman should look like? What about the girl with the multiple piercings on her face? Totally awful, isn't she? Mmmmhm.

I'm really hoping that you just singled me out for no reason, that it could have been anyone that your pointless, stupid vitriol needed to hit. I hope you don't know me, because the thought that someone who does is only thinking about what I look like is just really too much. I hope that if you do know me, you never give me an indication of who you are, because it will be a bad scene for you all around when I pass your name around to my legion of actual friends and proceed to come after you myself with the LART.

Finally, if you're going to fucking insult someone, you cockamimie dickmunching cuntrags, get it right. The idiom is 'beached whale'.

God, kids these days.
