Fat Shaming

Featured Replies

Did anyone notice that one of the Twitter trolls who fat-shamed Magda Szubanski on the New Daily website today signed in as gtmelb with an MFC logo as their icon?

I think this is disgraceful and brings the club into disrepute.

Does anyone know someone who twitters as " gtmelb "? 

I realise these gutless trolls hide behind their web anonymity. I am posting this in the faint hope this person can be identified.

If that can be done, should any action be taken?

I did notice it, and I found it disgraceful.  Unfortunately there are gutless creeps in all supporter bases from different clubs.  Aside from having an MFC logo for their profile picture, I'm not sure what action could be taken, aside from Magda reporting it if she chooses to do so.

Going by their Twitter posts, this person is by and large a massive [censored] in lots of ways, it seems.

Awful. I get age-shamed at the pool I swim in occasionally. People don’t realise how hurtful it is

 

Tell me about it Cass! Last week at work I called a PowerPoint presentation a PowerPoint presentation instead of a “slide pack”… got told by the younger ones that they could tell I was pushing 40. #AgeIsJustANumberDontShameMe.

I've been called a lot of things over my lifetime but none of it ever worried me, why give anyone the satisfaction of knowing they've got in your head.

People are too precious now; they wouldn't have survived in the time when I grew up.

Like me, you grew up in an era where social media etc didn’t exist and so bullying etc was pretty much limited to the schoolyard, workplace etc. Now, people often have to deal with it all of the time and short of isolating themselves completely, they don’t have any easy way of escaping it. Nothing about being too precious at all.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
