I dunno. I'm in the Pacific Northwest and I'm inclined to agree.

I don't think it's got to do with the people on this forum being bad eggs to a degree greater than the general population. Anonymity just enables people to behave very badly with fewer "real world" consequences so the bigotry is more prevalent here than in meat life where people get punched in the face for being assholes.

As previously stated though, I think being decent to fat people is more common here than in meat life. That's not because fat people are people though. It's because fat people are some people's fetish, which is sill dehumanising and doesn't really count for decent human being cred.
