      What does daily mail have to do with it? Bitch is obese. Can the news not report facts anymore. Are people so used to clickbait that factual headlines bother them. I guess clickbait really has won.

      Is she:

      ✅Obese

      ✅Woman

      FIVE lovers

        The only reason to point out her weight is to trigger some unnecessary reaction of disgust from people. It’s not a matter of factual or not, it’s not relevant at all to the story about “abducting and torturing” a person. Why does it matter at all that she’s obese? They didn’t put “short dark haired, white, brown eyed…” They chose obese for a reason and to me it’s kinda gross to be enforcing the whole “weight shame” thing. Like yeah this person is supremely fucked up, but you put that stuff out there like it’s normal and ok to shame someone for which has an effect when taken in with the rest of what we observe in any given day.

        What dailymail has to do with it is they’re a shit rag tabloid outlet that runs the kind of nonsense stories you used to see about people finding Bigfoot and whatnot so it makes sense they’d be framing something like this. It’s a form of click bait to be honest, it doesn’t have to be a lie to be click bait it just has to attract your click. The obese part isn’t necessary but it might get someone to click.
