I could probably make this into a topic but I don't need dozens of comments from kids thinking I'm on my period or something, so you know, be warned.
This thought of mine comes from my revisit to Stickam the other night. I actually had fun talking to Slap and Freaki and everything was just nice for a change, the usual banter was too present which helps the laughs still.
Anyway, a typical Stickam randomer guy comes on. Big mouth, nothing else. He pipes up on his mic to Slap "You're in here talking to fat bitches". I was on cam at the time, so obviously knew who the comment was directed at. I don't run and hide online, not like I do irl, so I sat there just listening to this twit talking, then when I started speaking, I got a load of shit from this guy, of course about my weight. I play along like I always do until I had enough of him and rightly kicked him.
Then I was thinking later about how I see this kind of behavior from the NG users too. Whenever a random girl enters the Stickam room, if she's not that good looking she'll get slated straight away. The girl doesn't even have to talk before the usual males are there trying to upset/anger/troll her, and if she's good looking? Well everyone will just ask for tits, or insult her for being vain or some shit.
I mean, I get it all the time. I'm used to it, even when it's from NGers I know on somewhat of a personal level, I still get the digs and the jokes, and eventually enough of them wear down on you, and I ask myself; Is it JUST because I'm fat? I don't think I'm a bad person, or THAT bad a person. Sure I'm a big moral fag sometimes but am I that much of a horrible person that people - people I have generally gotten along with see me as nothing but a fat waste who they have some right to just laugh about as if I'm nothing more then body fat?
Seriously I'd love to know.
So anyway. I wonder, why do boys do this? Us girls are generally much less driven by looks. We'll give anyone the time of day to talk before we openly mock or judge them. Unless of course the girl who is doing the judging is a total bitch, but most of us actually aren't. Some are just too sheltered and naive and too damn pretty to see anything beyond their own reflection. This works for guys too though.
So why do guys judge firstly and mostly on looks alone, yet girls will tend to listen first and be more accepting of that guy as long as they aren't a total dickhead or something.
What gives average looking males the right to judge solely on the looks and usually in a negative fashion before a girl can even talk? And even after she's proven that she is a person to still get the same amount of shit back?
If being skinny means I'd start treating people of different weight badly just because I'd be skinner, then I guess this is the one time I'm glad to be who I am.

There isn't much you can do about idiots on the net, and I can understand what you're talking about. . . However, generalising all men in one category like that is a bit of an over reaction (maybe it's because I haven't been on stickham much, so I may not know the full story).
I know in myself, I'd never insult someone on account of weight unless it was something of a joke between close friends (well I'm pretty much a girl anyways). I'm sorry that someone would do that for you, they're just jerks. *Hugs you* meeee luff yew - you're a very smart person and you know they're nothing better than the insecure trolls they are.
Also, I haven't seen ya before~ but I bet you're as beautiful than the next girl after! Rawr. . .
TL;DR? Men aren't all jerks, and I try cheer you up ^^.

Oh come on, guys generalise women all the time! :(
*hugs back* :'3
You're too kind really, I'M AN ORGE, but that's not the point. I just don't get the why. It's not about trolling, it just seems to be pure insulting someone based on their appearance only. The same shit happens irl really.
