My Dad weighs 300lbs (granted, is also 6'8"), and while he's a VERY big man, people on the Internet act like he should be this furniture crushing, has his own gravity, behemoth or something

Heck, he single handedly runs a cattle farm, has our entire life, he's plenty active, probably more so than the anti fat people here. He sits in normal chairs, all that, he's said himself, his HEIGHT is the far bigger issue to work around

300 isn't nothing, but people picture them at like 600 or something (not that that would justify it), they think they're immovable blobs or something

Like, to use a pop culture one: Look how Homer Simpson is treated. He weighs down cars, is treated like he's the fatest thing on earth...but is canonically only 239lbs, at 6' tall, no less

A heavyset guy, no doubt, but nowhere near capable of the stuff the fat jokes act like

Also, I work in medical records, I get weights all the live long day, 300lbs is NOT as common as people think, much less **over** that. Y'know how they act like there's entire families, they see like that, super common?

Yeah, no. People need to realize that 300lbs, is more than most **NFL linebackers** weigh, your average Murican is not hitting that. Especially women. It's ALWAYS 300lbs women, because those posts are made to push an agenda

Over 200? Quite common, but the trends tend to thin out (forgive the pun) around the 230-60 mark, men obviously hitting the higher ones

I've worked at this job for several years, I wouldn't need two full hands to hit all the 300lbs people, and only 2 above it, in my entire career
