      What does daily mail have to do with it? Bitch is obese. Can the news not report facts anymore. Are people so used to clickbait that factual headlines bother them. I guess clickbait really has won.

      Is she:

      ✅Obese

      ✅Woman

      FIVE lovers

        The only reason to point out her weight is to trigger some unnecessary reaction of disgust from people. It’s not a matter of factual or not, it’s not relevant at all to the story about “abducting and torturing” a person. Why does it matter at all that she’s obese? They didn’t put “short dark haired, white, brown eyed…” They chose obese for a reason and to me it’s kinda gross to be enforcing the whole “weight shame” thing. Like yeah this person is supremely fucked up, but you put that stuff out there like it’s normal and ok to shame someone for which has an effect when taken in with the rest of what we observe in any given day.

        What dailymail has to do with it is they’re a shit rag tabloid outlet that runs the kind of nonsense stories you used to see about people finding Bigfoot and whatnot so it makes sense they’d be framing something like this. It’s a form of click bait to be honest, it doesn’t have to be a lie to be click bait it just has to attract your click. The obese part isn’t necessary but it might get someone to click.

        Obese commenter @Jimmycakes@lemmy.world with no friends and social life, who recently discovered a huge wart on his nose, and who just remembered that nobody likes him, left a comment on a post recently.

        I can see why folks are so upset, but the obesity is the only thing that makes this story interesting in today’s crazy world.
        Articles need a hook. Like meth or maga or madness or incest or … obesity. That’s how they get read.

        Now … I imagine most of you don’t have any experience with polyamory. A LOT of those folks are morbidly obese. So the joke here is that DM is screaming about an everyday fact of that community in order to hype a … murder? (dunno, dont care about theses idiots, didnt read.)
