    reason: please don’t use body shaming language and words like degenerate

    I used no body shaming language, and actually acknowledged his effort and success at losing weight. The post itself refers to him as a pig.

    And the guy isn’t a degenerate for having been overweight. The guy is a disgusting degenerate for the gluttonous, wasteful mukbang and feeder pornography he peddled to make money-- amongst other behaviors.

    Do y’all draw the line somewhere?

      I didn’t process the removal of your comment, but the term “degenerate” was historically associated with fascist rhetoric, so it’s usually frowned upon. Best not to use it, I guess?

      And I agree it’s hypocritical to delete your comment for that reason while preserving the post which refers to that guy as “pig of Ukraine”.

        That’s a fair point about the word “degenerate” that I wasn’t aware of. Thank you for some context.
