My personal view is that sexual preferences are confusing mix of instinct, biology and culture, perhaps something random in there too. Like you say, it maybe fun or easy, or in today's feminist vogue, to criticize men for having physical preferences, but everyone has them, men and women, and I think it's important to keep things in perspective; that the love and happiness from a partner in a long-term relationship requires qualities that go beyond being skin-deep, and in fact, people who only look skin-deep will likely miss potential soulmates.

    Anyway, what does "non-hwp people" mean? I've never heard that before.

HWP stands for height-width proportionate, so non-hwp is my polite way of saying chubby people. I personally don't care if someone is tall or short, thick or thin, but flabby is something I try to avoid when it comes to sex.

    I wonder what would happen if I started tagging all their threads with personal messages. Would it become an issue then?

I'm sure it would, but please don't. It's best to stay above the fray as much as possible; people already accuse you of trolling enough as is, I don't think it's wise to give them ammunition by trolling them back, even if it is to make a point.

    So who knows, you might be paying the price for not following the right users, or maybe you just made the mistake to disagree with the wrong users. I feel sorry for you, at least I know why I'm being ostracised.

Eh, it's fine. If it makes them feel better, I suppose that is what they need. I don't think I've really lost anything of value by learning who the more easily offended judgy-types are.
