Reply to comment by gtreble9 in What is about friends that people deem “problematic” by gtreble9

I'm confused at this - So they're morbidly obese jokes? Do they not count as fat jokes if they're morbidly obese?

But why are fat jokes problematic? Fat is not a minority

You do not have to be part of a minority or protected class to be offended by a joke. Ridiculing someone because of their physical appearance can get you fired from your job and is considered harassment.

Does anyone in Monica’s work place or ever in the show make fun of her weight? You’re taking a close group of friends who joke about their friends weight when she was younger and taking it to a place of workplace discrimination
