'Hey, Fattie' App Uses Hot Anime Men To Shame Women Into Losing Weight

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/02/hey-fattie-app-weight-loss-women_n_3695874.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular



Ever wanted to lose 10 pounds and thought: "Hey, this would be soooo much easier if a hot bro was insulting me every time I did something unhealthy"? Well luckily, a new Japanese app will provide this super-helpful service right on your mobile device!

The app, which will be released this month, is based on of a weight loss app for men called Nenshou! In the original version, pretty anime ladies support users as they try to lose weight, offering words of encouragement and compliments.

But Nenshou! For Girls takes a different approach. According to Cara Clegg at RocketNews24, the female version of the app, which focuses on ab workouts and arm toning, opts for insults over compliments:

In “Nenshou! For Girls” three gorgeous guys will give you the old carrot-and-stick treatment to encourage you on your weight loss journey. While you exercise, you can also enjoy a burgeoning relationship with one of the cast of ikemen (hot guys) who has been so romantically insulting you.

Because nothing makes you want to stick to a healthy diet and exercise regimen more than being berated by a cartoon man you're "dating," right? The whole premise of the app is suspect considering that research has shown that fat-shaming is a totally ineffective weight loss "tool" and can actually make people gain weight. "I don't know, the world is so wack," wrote Jezebel's Laura Beck in reaction to Nenshou! For Girls. We concur.

So who is the misogynist who thought this up? Because if one offering positive reinforcement had already proved successful, the only reasons to do this is that either the inventor has a thing for fat girls or he hates women.
Plus neither app allows for the possibility of homosexuality nor for positive reinforcement from someone who is a friend.

They should have made it so you could customize who you pick and when each responds.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone buys it.

ETA: Isn't "Hot Anime Men" a contradiction in terms?

The part I like is the way the aggressive/guttural tone make Japanese sound a lot like ... the head, at two on a Saturday morning, with two or three woefully pre-hangovered young Sailors wrestling with their consciences.

Note : if you are a Sailor, you have to call a restroom 'the head'. It's tradition.

Thats the thing. This was designed after they made a fat dude app. The difference is the fat dude app has cute asian hotties oooo'ing, ahhh'ing, and generally giving them positive feedback whether or not they lose weight.

But they thought women would have better results
with negativity and humiliation? Interesting.
If fat shaming worked there wouldn't be any fat people.

baldness is usually what guys are most "sensitive" about, especially when they get older..

but honestly, if i were a balding guy.. dam right I would get hair implants!!! btw, some women lose their hair also, just not as many.. imo, why not? (assuming you can afford the cost)..



cloudboy -> RE: 'Hey, Fattie' App Uses Hot Anime Men To Shame Women Into Losing Weight (8/4/2013 7:18:00 PM)


The best app for weight loss and shame is a scale. The numbers never lie and they tell the whole story.

Hey now! Let's have none of that!

The app is stupid. Eat healthy 90 percent of the time, lift heavy weights, move around each day, and throw the fucking scale in the garbage. It's fairly simple, but it's not easy.
