Is the word "fat" considered rude

[HATEmeCUZyouAINTme]

Do you think it's rude to use the word fat

 

Is there ever a time to use it or is it considered rude always?

 

 

In some countries like Korea, they say it often e.g the host from "Hello Counselor' and Gookjoo from 'Roommate'

 

But elsewhere e.g America, there's a whole 'love your body' wave going

 

 

What do you think?

no.

yes

'chubby' is more respectful

[ripiasuju]

nothing wrong with the word, but you shouldnt use it on people coz they be sensitive

[onefatpanda]

no, if it's the truth; why should anyone be offended

[Bitchcraft]

When i say someone looks fat af here, people neg me and quote me to tell me im being an asshole.

Well no i mean i'm just saying the truth

 

IRL, though, people just agree or disagree and move on.

[ripiasuju]

yes

'chubby' is more respectful

chubby sounds rude as well

[Serenee]

Yes, when it is used mockingly.

[INNA]

IT MATTERS HOW BIG THEY ARE IMO. 

[aaaaaa]

When you make fun of someone using that word.

[ღChoco]

'fat' itself isn't rude, but it depends on how you use it

[SNSTD]

Yes, when it is used mockingly.

[Teru]

the word isn't inherently rude, but commenting on someone's body unsolicited is rude regardless of what your intentions are

 

if you wouldn't say it to their face then take it as a hint that what you're about to say might be offensive

[myreflections]

i think the polite way to point someone has more weight than average or advised is by using the word OVERWEIGHT 

chubby is okay, but fat is rude.

we do not say "Fat" directly in our country unless we try to sound rude. 

 

it's far more polite to use the word overweight.

I guess it's like with "homosexual" is the proper word, queer is okay but fag is rude. 

or at least that's how I see it . tho queer is rude-ish as well.

Personally, I don't think it's rude if used in a positive way. A lot of people now days are basically promoting being fat with this "love yourself" notion and while it's not okay to be super skinny, it's also not okay to be super fat and I think people should be promoting being healthy instead of "loving yourself" or looking "like a model"

[Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband]

No if you don't use it in a derogative way; like you can say someone is fat and could lose some weight  because ur leggit worried about their health

Yeah

[Suga's GF]

depends. like if a fat person is just describing their body type it's okay. if you're calling a fat person fat and bullying them about their weight bc """""u r concerned about their health""""" you're an asshole and then it's rude.

[cnude]

If you're talking about someone specific or throwing it at their face then I consider that rude.

[xharuharux]

'fat' itself isn't rude, but it depends on how you use it

[BetweenYourThighs]

The words 'fat', 'obese' and 'overweight' are considered acceptable to describe the condition. Being of that is a choice just like smoking. Would it then be wrong to call someone who smokes a smoker? It's just logic.

[bullshitlarry]

When you call celebrities and kpop stars fat, it's oki! Because they're famous so they should look good.

 

But when you call your friends or people you don't know fat, it's not oki. : - (

[Vinctus]

Depends on the context, if someone is using it as an insult then yes it's rude. Otherwise no.

[little_me]

If you are using it to describe a persons appearance, then it is rude. Although I also think that calling someone skinny is rude as well.

I call my celebrities fat all the time
