The term "Shitlord" and what it means to you.

I'm not sure how everyone else on the sub feels, but I think that the term shitlord doesn't accurately represent our thoughts or beliefs. We're vastly superior to hamplanets and cheese vacuums alike, so why belittle ourselves with a term like shitlord. Honestly, we're the ones in the right here, we're the ones with the power. Why not embrace it and live like heroes. Making fun of fat people should be a right to those more privileged. Let me know what you think, this is an open topic for discussion. No judgements here ;)

Shitlord is like "the N word", in the the tumblrinas tried to use it as a weapon to defame us, but it backfired when we accepted it and decided to roll with it because we're not insecure.

The story behind shitlord is pretty hilarious. Basically, a bunch of tumblr SJWs wanted to create an insult that was not racist/sexist/classist/homophobic/ableist...in other words an insult that was not, in fact, insulting. They came up with the epically awesome and badass sounding Shitlord. Now we use it as a badge of honor.

Owning it. By whining about what you are called, you give the word power. By owning it, you negate that power. Call me a shitlord, I don't care, it can't bother me.

Yea I'm a shitlord, thats great, fatties are still fat.

A shitlord is little more then a troll, in the best possible way. They openly shame and mock people. Not all normal weight people, or subscribers to fat people hate are shitlords. Being a normal weight or browsing FPH is not enough to be a shitlord. I am not a shitlord I am a normal human being. Being a shitlord in the moment is easy, speak your mind and don't hold back. But, to be a full shitlord is much more involved and requires a constant effort to shame others.

I think this explanation speaks to me the most.

The term "shitlord" has become a unifying banner.

I never see anyone who isn't a true shitlord even use the word "shitlord" to describe themselves. If someone applies the title to themselves, I know what they are all about. And I know that they are my brother.

Be careful, there are some fatties that will call themselves shitlords because they hate other fatties. Which is wishful thinking because shitlords are obviously human-sized!

Shitlord is a blanket term used by SRS and SJWs everywhere to describe anyone that disagrees with them. Here is a list of things that qualifies you as a bonified shitlord.

  • Thinking that fat people bring about their condition through their personal choices.
  • Not believing in the Patriarchy^^TM or that it is opressing you and every woman ever.
  • Thinking that there is any moral question around abortion.
  • Thinking that a MtF transexual should be considered different from a biological female in professional sports.
  • Thinking that men have penises and women have vaginas.
  • Not apologizing for being white.
  • Not apologizing for being male.
  • Not apologizing for being heterosexual.

SJWs believe that anyone who disagrees with the far left, 'progressive' belief system is objectively wrong. If you don't share their beliefs you're uneducated, racist, mysoginistic, transphobic, and a white heterosexual male. This is why the word 'shitlord' is such a joke.

I get SJWs, but what's an SRS? Would appreciate being enlightened!

SRS stands for ShitRedditSays. A hyper politically correct sub-reddit dedicated to hating reddit and complaining about things people will write. They'll look around threads in askreddit like "what's your funniest racist joke?" and get butthurt that people are submitting racist jokes. Unless the jokes are about white people. That's okay because of privilege, history, the sins of the father should pass to the son, etc.

When I found FPH and saw that people that were opposed to excess adipose were called shitlords I was just happy there was a term for it. One of my coworkers openly talked about how when she was younger she hated fats and would get physically ill from looking at them, this was before I found this sub. I then told her that we were shitlords and she too thought the name was great. The bottom line is you don't get to pick your nickname, you can only decide if you enjoy it or not.

I completely agree. Thanks for your input.

I wear the term as a badge of honor. It means that i am in control of myself enough that your taunts are meaningless. Your words have no power over me, but my words have power over you. I know it. You know it. I know that you know it. And you know that I know it.

One with enough emotional stability to not be bothered by an arbitrary label containing a synonym for poo.

Because, you know, if something as chickenshit as that legitimately bothers you, you're probably not going to get very far in life without being carried by others - figuratively and likely literally as well.

I know that shitlord originated as an insult for people like me but I actually wear it as a badge of honor. I identify with the word. If someone asks about my extreme prejudice towards fatties I just tell them I'm a shitlord. I'm proud of it. And I was happy to find a singular word to describe myself in that regard. If people that I consider less than human want to invent an insult for me, I don't find it insulting, it's more of a compliment. Like damn right I'm a shitlord, maybe if you put in some hard work and practiced self control maybe you could be one too someday.

I see what you're saying but I don't think we display much self control by speaking our minds.
