What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?

RE: What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?
(June 7, 2017 at 8:35 am)FatAndFaithless Wrote: there is some real vitriol directed against obese people that views them as almost sub-human.  Just think about a cell-phone picture of an obese person on the treadmill at the gym with an insulting caption (instead of a supportive caption since they're at the gym in the first place).  Those kinds of things are a dime a dozen online. 

I absolutely agree, I hate this. Then some of these same people complain the most about obese people not taking responsibility to lose weight, Milo Yiannopoulos. I don't know what they expect really, when they bully fat people out of the gym.

Like I said in my earlier post, I think a better goal of this "movement" should be to create a more supportive environment for people who want to live healthier lives and lose weight, in a more health-oriented than aesthetics-oriented way. Like what LadyforCamus was saying really

@Khemikal - Yes I have heard that before and it does make sense given the abundance of cheap shitty junk food. Although still, that is down to the food their are eating moreso than genetics or conditions

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
