Little fat kids crying about being told they were little fat kids.


We are so soft as a society.

Edit for-- maybe if Wii would have told them that in 15 years, if they were still fat, they'd die of Covid, it would have been a better message.

Just a guess but I am thinking we really don't want rule 1 followed on this thread.

Game wasn't meant as a measure for kids under age 18 and or still growing. It's intended for adults regarding the BMI standards. While BMI is somewhat garbage. It is completely garbage in younger children.

Hang on. I remember in elementary school they took our height and weight every year and did that little pinch thing where it pinched your arm to check your body fat. Then we got told if we were healthy it not. Are they not still doing something like that? I'm almost certain it was part of that fitness test where we had to run a mile and do chin-ups or flex arm hang, but could be wrong.

Gosh we have become a nation of mewling quims if we let a video game from 15 years ago cause us mental anguish. How has our country not been taken over by China or Russia yet?

I used to complain about BMI because it said I was fat even though I had six pack abs. Now I complain about BMI because it says I'm fat and I'm actually fat.

If we get invaded, it needs to happen now because Gen X is all that is standing in the way of a big L.

Which gen x are you referring to? Pretty sure they'd welcome foreign invaders with open arms. They are the ones teaching in our universities.

All university profs are losers regardless of generation.

Gen X is the generation that just wants to be left alone. We are cold war hardened and would kick the effers out

The generation that brought us hair metal and The Cure is going to be the bulwark against an invasion....right.

Argue all you want, but Gen X isn't a bunch of everyone-gets-a-trophy pansies that need our helicopter mom to solve our problems. When we were in early elementary, our mom was like "here's a key to the house, kid. See you tonight at some point. Good luck". Learned to be a very self-sufficient generation

Yeah.

I will take a Gen X over a millennial every day of the week.

Good news, though, I am thinking that Covid gen pretty much thinks that government can go F themselves.

We shall see.
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

Yes.

We were the last pro-capitalist, accurately educated generation from a historical standpoint. Your example of some random musical genre in the 80s is as substantial as the fart I just passed.

And we wonder why people don't discuss the correlation between COVID deaths and obesity.

Gen X is our only hope.

The point is the absurdity of generalizing an entire generation as weak based upon what gets said on social media. It's like boomers talking about how weak and soft your generation was, because dudes were feathering their hair and wearing mascara on MTV.

Maybe so but Boomers and GenX were the ones handing out participation trophies and being helicopter parents. Buncha olds trying to live vicariously through their kids.

When we (millennials) were in elementary school, we knew participation trophies were bull*****

Semi-related but this thread reminded me to buy Ring Fit for the Switch.

True story. Gen x was raised to be self sufficient. It was the last generation that was raised this way.

She doesn't realize how big her deeper issues are. Thinks it's the Wii Fit's problem.

My comment stems more from the fact that the generations after us (generally speaking) were coddled and get their feelings hurt about everything. And many of them are left wing dipsh^ts that will welcome their enemies with open arms. And, yes, you can blame others for the coddling.

And, I'll have you know I wore my one earring in the non-gay ear when I was in college so I was a real man.

I'll never forget the "plop" sound and the spare tire shooting out under my t-shirt when I went a couple years between weigh-ins and playing WiiFit. Since I'm GenX, I just said, "Yup. That's about right."

If we end up with socialized medicine, having government mandates and financial penalties associated with weight is not that far fetched.

Oh, and I just threw up a little.
You can't fix stupid.

Oh dear God please make it stop. Personal responsibility is just nowhere to be found these days. If they were fat kids they were fat kids. And no one made them play the damn Wii.
