Why is fatshaming a bad thing?

Recommended Posts

Before you come at me with  "troll!!!", no Im not trolling. Obesity is extremely unhealthy and by pointing out someone is overweight, we are pushing them to go after a healthier lifestyle. Why is that a bad thing?

Because bullying is wrong?

 

No one should he bullied for their shape

 

However, encouraging someone to be fat like Lizzo or others do is what’s really wrong.

 

All those viral videos calling morbidly obese people “queen” “slay” etc are encouraging them to harm themselves.

 

One thing is to bully someone and another to recognize that is really a dangerous lifestyle and could ruin/kill someone.

Most comments are made in bad faith, no matter how much you want try to claim ‘concern’ or ‘real encouragement’. It’s fake. It’s just bullying.

Do you actually think overweight people don't know they're overweight? :rip: If so, let me reiterate my last post:

Calling fat someone and reminding them all the time is bullying them

 

And stop looking for attention with your threads, your intentions are very transparent

generally, fat people are unhappy with their bodies, so fatshaming could be considered kicking someone while they're already down

It’s literally in the word “shame”. Why would you wanna partake in a negative act of making people feel bad for how they look. It just really isn’t nice, and telling people something they’re already aware of is a futile effort. It’s universally known that it’s not healthy :rip: 

 

also some of them could be already working on it and are actually losing weight, so shaming them ruins how they feel about their progress. Just don’t do it, period. 


Speaking from my own experience (lost 60lb in the past year, 20 more to lose), many of us really have no need for “push” or “encouragement” from outside parties. It has to come from yourself to do the work to get healthy.
