Group that 'resents fat people' hands out anti-gluttony cards to commuters in London: 'You are a fat, ugly human'

Fat-shamers are reportedly handing out anti-gluttony cards to commuters on London public transportation, trying to convince strangers to change their allegedly unhealthy lifestyles.

The cards are credited to "Overweight Haters Ltd." Kara Florish says she was given the card while traveling on the London Underground and shared images of the card on social media.

"It's really not glandular, it's your gluttony," the card states, according to Florish’s posts. "Our organization hates and resents fat people. We object to the enormous amount of food resources you consume while half the world starves."
We do not understand why you fail to grasp that by eating less you will be better off, slimmer, happy, and find a partner who is not a perverted chubby-lover, or even find a partner at all," the card continues.

"We also object that the (beautiful) pig is used as an insult. You are not a pig. You are a fat, ugly human."

1. That is gross

but I do know a few gluttons.

[jmowreader]

2. How often do "Overweight Haters" get their asses kicked for doing this?

[TipTok]

7. Gotta catch em first...

[joshcryer]

16. Heh.

Wrong. But I laughed. I like dark humor...

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. Some fat folk are really fast over short distances.

Think you could beat an NFL lineman over 40 yards? You probably can't. And if someone that big catches you in the first 40 yards, your ability to outrun him over long distances becomes painfully irrelevant.

[TipTok]

21. Playing the odds I suppose...

What is the ratio of NFL lineman to out of shape obese people in America ?

[jmowreader]

22. What are the odds these guys would give a card to Ndamukong Suh if they could?

Or, for that matter, some of these rugby players who are nearly as big?

[TipTok]

24. I am confident that anyone who would be that much of an overt ass...

... would likely pick their battles.

[jmowreader]

29. If they knew to pick them, that is

[GummyBearz]

42. If they are handing you a card they should be within reaching distance..

Kinda makes sense, right?

[CBGLuthier]

3. Someone needs to create "You are an asshole cards." This is what they should say.

"It isn't your mother's fault or your father's for you have chosen to be an asshole who can not mind his own fucking business. Now fuck off and never come near me again, asshole or I will drop kick your fucking asshole ass."

What a load of assholes.


Full disclosure I once was large and now am not but I still would rather be a fat ass than an asshole.

[JonathanRackham]

4. They actually make those cards.

They're always sold out.

[flobee1]

6. Would you happen to have a link

Otherwise, i am definitely making some to carry with me. I run into a lot of them during my day.

Found one-going to condense it to fit on 1 piece of paper and keep a few with me

[CrispyQ]

31. DUzy.

I LOL.

[Aerows]

36. I thought these were kind of useful.

[B Calm]

5. Sounds like something Donald Trump would do!

[hobbit709]

8. A good response: "I can diet but you will always be an asshole"

[beam me up scottie]

9. What if someone is emotionally vulnerable and this pushes them over the edge?

What the hell is wrong with people?

[Dorian Gray]

11. Seriously

These are people who want to hurt other people. They don't even stick around to see what reactions they get. They are cruel AND cowardly.

Fuck them.

[beam me up scottie]

12. Many people who are overweight are already self-conscious.

You're right, they're only doing it to hurt others, they remind me of bullies in school who don't know any better.

I can't understand what drives people like that, I just don't get it.

[rbrnmw]

35. low self esteem or antisocial personality disorder

I have met both types. Bullies usually were previously bullied or they have antisocial personality disorder.

[beam me up scottie]

39. They make me sick.

[smirkymonkey]

40. Neither do I. What is it that makes someone go out of their way to hurt a complete stranger?

I can't even get my mind around that. They must be filled with self hatred.

[beam me up scottie]

43. I get wanting to lash out at others when you're hurt but this is something else.

This is an organized effort that targets people who already feel marginalized.

They're despicable human beings.

[rbrnmw]

44. yes

[jeff47]

26. I expect their response would be "Good! One less fat person!!"

After all, you have to be a pretty large asshole to even think this is a good idea.

[beam me up scottie]

38. You're right.

Anyone who goes around puposely hurting others doesn't care about their victims.

[Dorian Gray]

10. This is one of the most

hateful and vile things someone can do to another human being. For whatever reason someone is overweight (medical, psychological, physical, etc.), shaming them will do nothing other than hurt them.

These cards are out there to hurt other human beings. There is no other reason.

Fuck them.

[Codeine]

14. Oh yeah? Well

[Vinca]

15. Hmmm . . . I see a business opportunity marketing "You Are An Asshole" cards.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. What Pompous Nonsense

Geez, get a hobby or something. This is all they could find to spend their time on? Just horrible.

[Coventina]

19. The 21st century "white feather"?

Hateful and silly.

Seriously, don't these people have better things to do with their time?

Do they think they are changing anyone's minds?

Just bizarrely hateful.

[suffragette]

20. Cruelty is what is actually ugly.

From other reports, it looks like these have been specifically to women so far.

[jeff47]

28. Given the general asshole-ness required for this, misogyny wouldn't be surprising. (nt)

[suffragette]

37. Yes, some people are so filled with hate, they just spew it out.

[smirkymonkey]

41. Yeah, and why just women? If it was really about health it seems to me that they would target both

genders equally (not that they should, it's just a shitty thing to do to anybody), but there seems to be a huge amount of misogyny behind this idiotic little project.

[suffragette]

45. Exactly so. Health has nothing to do with it. Just loads of hate, so far directed

At women. As you note, misogyny pushing it.

[KamaAina]

23. I have half a mind to promote a sumo tournament in London

and turn the sumotori loose on the Tube.

[Tipperary]

25. No words.

That is just awful. So much hate in this world.

[dembotoz]

27. no i anticipate these folks hang around to watch the pain the cards inflict

hope they get caught and stomped

i mean really stomped

but i am just a violent white prot male......

[Douglas Carpenter]

30. now that is just plain cruel and mean spirited on every level - what scum would ever do that?

[Glassunion]

32. This isn't passing my initial sniff test...

Seems rather fishy to me.

[prouddemfromaustin44]

33. What a sad group

Some people in this world just want to be jerks to others. Pity.

[spanone]

34. humans, a truly fucked-up species
