People in this thread being afraid that obesity acceptance movements are aiming to make more people become obese, are high-key remind me of the shitty insincere rhetoric of anti-feminists thinking that feminism is thriving to topple patriarchy in order to establish matriarchy. That's literally how much goddamn fucking sense you guys are making right now.
First, obese people, by a landslide, will never wish obesity and fatness on anybody. I wouldn't wish it even on my worst enemy, considering how much I suffered under systemic fatphobia. How much it made me wanna kill myself over and over and over again throughout my life. This is utter and complete shit and whether or not acceptance gets better, fatphobia will still forever be a thing that exists and I don't see it disappearing anytime soon, just like I don't see sexism, racism and homophobia disappear anytime time soon. Your fears are incredibly, heartbreakingly off-base.
And when you see someone obese promoting obesity, one, they're a minority much like radical feminists are, two, they do it as a radical political stance against this overwhelmingly violent fatphobic society, much like radical feminists are politically retaliating to the load of bullshit that being a woman in a sexist as fuck society is. If it bothers you, that's on you, for not being empathetic enough, for not understanding the root of the existence of such political rhetoric.
But really seeing y'all spreading the BS that "OMG people will think being obese is so cool and will become obese willingly if we let these fat-acceptance movements thrive and spread their message!!1!" is so incredibly off-base and missing the point so hard it's not even remotely funny or entertaining anymore.
Also, stop trying to explain to fat people what fatphobia is. Listen to us when we say that that host was, indeed, being fatphobic and stop trying to barge in here diminishing and belittling our voices.
