Excuse me, I'll have you know that my wang looks downright dapper when I put the little top hat and monocle on it.

I got some good gear the other day in SoO for my warrior, so that's progress.

Ask her about her sexual fantasies. You may have to prod her a little to get her to tell you.
After she tells you, do your utmost to help her realize or at least act out those fantasies.
Eventually the conversation will come around to a discussion of YOUR fantasies.
Tell her.
This is coercive, though, and will make her feel guilty if you indulge her fantasies for the sole purpose of putting her in a position where she'd be uncomfortable saying no to indulging your fantasies.
Especially when your fantasies involve what seems to be one of her biggest self-image issues.

But both sides did handle it badly, and acknowledging that doesn't absolve Richman of anything.
I still feel both sides handled it in an immature and extreme way and 'he started it' doesn't mean that any responses in a similar vein are ok. In fact, keeping calm in response would've showed Adam Richman up even more for being a dick.
Eating disorders, like a lot of mental illnesses, are difficult beasts to tame. When it's explained that the word is harmful and problematic and it is directly harmful to someone, having the response be "I don't care", that the person who's being called out for their harmful behavior is
so actively disinterested in your health and well-being to the point that they would refuse to stop doing something harmful, it's quite a lot to say that someone should remain calm about it.
And it's completely incorrect to say that there's any equivalence between Richman's statements- insults and unforgivable remarks- and the understandably angry responses, which by and large
don't involve telling Richman to kill himself.

"Thinspiration" is a problematic term, and that's explained pretty well in the blog post. The reactions to him using it are largely coming from people who have struggled with or who are very understanding of the struggles with eating disorders, and much of it was initially pretty polite, assuming that he was ignorant of its negative connotations and harmful impact.
Saying "both sides are wrong" is basically absolving Richman of the problematic stuff he said that started this whole thing, which he did not back down from, and that's wrong.

bellyfeeder, go away and do not return until you've had a long talk with a therapist or psychiatrist about your complete lack of empathy.

This topic is as old as men not getting responses from women when they try to talk to them, period.

People probably WERE being c*nts to him.
It's totally ***y behavior to say "this is problematic and causes harm, here's why, don't do it please".
I'm also friends with three of the women who had direct interaction here and can vouch for their honesty on this one. Stop trying to defend Richman, who responded to polite messages asking him not to use #thinspiration by telling people that he didn't give a ***.

My favorite event is the one where women are told they're inferior for causing fewer boners than the victors.
