illia Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 but in all serioussness, as a person who used to be obese, fatshaming doesn't "motivate" or "push" you to lose weight, no, it's very much the opposite seeing when people bully and hate you for your weight you become deeply insecure and depressed, completely disencouraged to even try to lose some weight so yeah, it's a bad thing for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConceptD Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I’ve always been thin, but a couple of years ago I put on a fair amount of weight and trust when I say that nobody noticed more than I did when I looked in the mirror. It’s not healthy to be fat, but it’s also not nice to shame people for it when it can happen for any number of reasons (mine was depression that lead me to eat nonstop).

Lucas32 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If by fatshaming you mean mocking, bullying or insulting someone for their weight it's because a) it is rude b) it causes hurt c) it is ineffective. Fatshaming is likely to contribute to worse mental health which fuels unhealthy eating habits and poor health outcomes in general. Obesity is a problem but solutions should come in the form of individual motivation and better eating choices and systemic improvements in the form of improved food access, nutritional education, food regulations etc. No one believes you anymore when you say randomly fat shaming strangers is done out of concern for their health and wellbeing - you are just trying to moralize your desire to put someone down. If you care about their health you do what I mentioned above and not insult them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also think pointing at smokers and going “Hey, you’re smoking!” will get them to stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zasderfght Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Did you not have a post about wanting to end your life by overdosing on pills? I would think, after having been in a bad place, you would show some compassion and sympathy for what people are struggling with. People might be overweight and/or obese, but please do not pretend like you don't come with your own issues-- we ALL have things we can be working on, whether it's being more physically active, eating healthier, contributing more to society, etc. Clearly, your intention worked: you received quite a bit of replies, but is this really how you want to be remembered?

SlowGinFizzzz Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Fatshaming is obviously wrong and not acceptable, but people (and especially America, for... reasons) definitely need to find a way to have this kind of discourse, because pretending that an overweight or even obese lifestyle isn't extremely unhealthy and even actively encouraging it (like some celebrities unfortunately do) is not okay either and is going to create a massive health crisis in the foreseeable future. So yeah, don't be a dickhead, don't point it out to individuals unless they ask for your opinion; but as a society we'll definitely have to find a way to tackle this issue.

Gesamtkunstwerk Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Because bullying people is not ok, it's not that hard to use your brain No ones bullying you for having an anime avi, so I don't know why you can't comprehend why you should treat people decently too.
