A running group I belong to lists in its
description that it will allow posting of personal questions, stories, advice,
personal race photos and transformation photos. I’ve really been enjoying this
group because it is overwhelmingly focused on running, compared to a running
group I rage-quit a few hours after joining because it was all about weight
loss.
Today a member posted an image from the internet that has
used photoshop to enlarge the thighs and butts of two slim women running together
and added a bucket of KFC fried chicken in their hands. I commented that the
post deliberately demeans certain body types and food choices and is offensive
and inappropriate to the group, and I have reported it.
The original poster is
defending it, claiming she has a sense of humor and that I need to lighten up.
I have both messaged the admin and tagged the admin in the comment thread of
this post and really hope it will be dealt with. I can’t believe all the people
supporting this image as a humorous post and attacking me for being a humorless
bitch. UGH.
