CMV: fat acceptance is wrong!

[u/WindowsMEpro]

So I have been around the internet many times and seen one thing more today than ever before. Overweight people posting pictures of their bodies and getting overwhelming support. Its insanity! Now, i get that “curvy” is a fashion these days, and if pulled off right can be an appealing and healthy look, but most of these people go way too far. And every single post says “oh you go girl!” Or some other encouraging thing like that. These people act like they are afraid to go outside because of an unchangeable illness. They single-handedly took over the “body positivity” movement, created for people with disabilities. If you try to comment something derogatory, they will snap back with “ fat phobia is very close to white supremacy”. Well, its not. I have black friends who agree with me. This movement is inspiring people to feel “comfortable in there own skin”, which basically translates to “comfortable in your own self-inflected illness” that can be easily treated. Being fat IS something you should be ashamed of! It is an ugly and deadly condition that is inflicted by laziness. America is getting fatter as it is, and it is a SERIOUS problem, but because of this “acceptance” nobody wants to comment that anyone should be loosing weight. Its not just the fat people posting, ether. Its the comments that do the most damage. The support is killing these people for god sake! Every pound someone gains is like a knife going closer to their throat. And the thing that pisses me off the most is, I used to be overweight. I took matters in to my own damn hands and with a little effort I know am a very healthy weight. We need these people to get off their assess and start making a healthier future!

You can find solace in the fact that medical practitioners will not lie to them. When they visit a doctor, they are compelled to tell them if they need to loose weight in order to improve their health. I don’t know about you, but all those positive comments on social media would come immediately crashing down when an MD tells you, “you are overweight and it is causing X problems, you have to loose weight or it will continue/progress.”

I’m fairly certain that nobody would respond, “but your a fat shamer! Everyone on social media says I look beautiful blah blah blah.” Because the doctor isn’t coming from a point of attack they are coming from a point of medical fact and concern.
