I'm really glad he can no longer be called fatty in the Beano. If you wasn't already aware he's called Frederick Brown or Freddy to his chums, so a modicum of respect wouldn't go amiss.
Oh how the handsome kids chuckled (Plug Excluded) as they called out his name with glee. This has been going on since 1938 and high time it stopped.
The Beano when questioned said "Kids come in all shapes and sizes, and we absolutely celebrate that. We don't want to risk someone using it in a mean way. The time is right to revert back to Freddy. Although it's always been used affectionately, and never pejoratively, we agreed it's time it changed"
Did any one bother asking Freddy as he sobbed nightly into his comfort pillow if his counterparts were being affectionate, did they fook as like! The pain that lad has had to endure for over 80 years doesn't bear imagining.
Yes he likes cakes but that is because he's ridiculously addicted, so instead of fat-ism should they not be offering a support network rather than daily chastisement! Who's next ffs .. Billy Wizz!

It's not really unprecedented. This was over a decade ago.

I'm not sure the "children come in all sizes" is the best approach. Fat children growing up to be fat adults with related health complications isn't good for anyone.
Obviously shaming and bullying is nasty and counterproductive but "fat tolerance" can go too far towards enabling people to hurt themselves with eating disorders without compassionate hard truths from their family and friends.

I am a compassionate English speaker - it seems that triggers "free speech" advocates who then accuse me of being "woke" which they think is insulting to me but accurately describes their own state of consciousness oddly enough.

It was a term of endearment at one place I used to work at. If you weren't a ****, you were a nobody.

I always find it amusing when people get offended and angry, about people who get offended and angry. It's like a perfect circle of people who just like to moan and fail to see that they are basically suffering from.the same thing and all that's different, is it's the same bollocks coming from an opposite direction. They each think it's ok for them to moan and be offended about other people cut from what is basically the same boring cloth.
Please note: I am amused and not offended.
