Just remember folks, someone being fat is not a reason to hate them. Theres literally nothing else about him thats a redeeming quality, his being a lardass is the least deplorable thing about him. The fact that he must just shovel empty calories into his maw all day atleast limits the stupid shit coming out of it.
It's not that it's deplorable, it's that it's comical given the context of him making a career being a self-deluded unconvincing badass.
I think it's fitting
I don't think anything is fitting.
For him it's not the fact that he's fat, but the absolute tragedy of a personality that excuses themselves shoveling food into his gullet. Cause you just know that in his own head he thinks he could still kick anyone's ass.
Most people aren't fat for that reason and being fat isn't a reason to make fun. But Steven Segal's pathology makes him being fat a little funny.
As a fatty, I can agree with this sentence.
Yeah and like I know fat people who could kick the average ass, they tend towards being more in the longshoteman body type. But segall isn't one of them. They know they're no action hero.
Him being fat is the only relatable thing about him.
Well.
Being addict isn’t inherently bad but we ought not celebrate or normalize their overt addiction.
Willfully ignoring that its addiction and being ok consuming more resources than you need has historically been considered one of the more cruel and selfish things you can do.
Historically, food wasn't as abundant as it is today. Gluttony as a sin, at least with food, isn't the same today as it was 200 years ago. That's a ridiculous argument to make. If you really want to speak 'historically', it was advantageous for our hunter gatherer ancestors to exploit any opportunity for extra food because they never knew when the next meal would be. We're still hardwired for that, except food isn't rare anymore it's abundant for most people on the planet.
Besides, food addiction isn't the same as other additions, an alcoholic can obtain from drinking alcohol, an opioid addict can too, no one can stop eating food. Unlike other additions, someone who's obese because of their eating habits can't quit food. The thing their addicted to is in front of their face every day.
Yeah, the sin of gluttony is more like getting up for seconds before everyone has had firsts then taking all the leftovers. It's feasting on your seed grain. It's the sort of shit that sparked the first French revolution
You just described addiction, neat.
