This brings me memories of fathate or whatever that fatfobic subreddit was called.

r/fatpeoplehate

They were so toxic that the site got noticeably better within 24 hours of them being banned.

They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them!

Yeah, they were awful, awful people.

I too have been struggling with my weight for most of my life (the worst was 135 kilos at 189cm height, usually sitting around 95-100). I have been occasionally made fun of as a kid for it too, so I’m happy treating fat people like shit isn’t that acceptable any more.

However, I actually feel society has gone too far in accepting it, being overweight is very unhealthy and at a certain point even a burden on everyone around you and the healthcare system. It should not be normalized like this.

Fat people don’t deserve to be ostracized, but they sure as shit don’t need to hear that they are healthy and okay to remain as they are, because it’s a blatant and dangerous lie. For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition.

I personally don't struggle with my weight, but whether I do or not is enitrely irrelevant. Body shaming is a big problem, and such conversations need to be kept between a medical provider and the patient. Someone's weight should not be up for discussion on a public platform.

Also, I do think it is good for people to love and accept themselves, no matter what their weight. In fact, in most cases this is the first step toward resolving health problems and addictions, which is something I am experienced with. When I felt ashamed of my addiction, I was caught in a circle of guilt from which I would never have become sober. It wasn't until I learned to accept myself where I was at that made it possible for me to heal.

But I'm not applying my experience to everyone else. This may vary by individual, which is why it is paramount that these discussions happen on an individual basis between the patient and provider.

It is? This sounds more like a moral judgment based on nothing but perception and the way fat people os portray in media and exactly wat the fat acceptance movement try to fight against.

Everyone can shut the f%# up about fatshaming, does someone have scientific evidence that shaming people for being fat does anything other than needlessly hurt people? I am betting that it makes it FAR more likely that the shamed person will spiral into more negative behaviors that result in their health worsening.

People need to stop pretending the glee they feel in judging others when fat shaming as also somehow a genuine concern for their health. Save your judgement for your own extremely flawed self.

[-] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry kind of, I was meaning to basically agree with you my bad if it came off confusing

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I've always felt it's a mental health issue.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's really just a health issue.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Mental health issues are health issues.

That (especially including stress) and poor nutrition

Hi, fat guy here. I can't speak for others and I certainly don't know statistically whether or not I represent any kind of majority, but I do know that for me my excessive weight is entirely the result of poor lifestyle decisions.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Could you please translate that to freedom units so that people can understand it?

[-] waz@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can’t help with the metric, (2.2 lbs a kg?) But for the 21 stone thing, multiply by 14 to get the US standard way to describe weight.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was just being silly... 😂

[-] waz@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Very good. Please carry on! 🎄🎉🥂🍻🍾
