No. Behavioral science is literally not science. Cherry picking individual studies also isn't scientific because of the severe selection bias involved in paper publication.

Feel free to post studies that come to different conclusions on the effects of shame.

Also, lol nice webcomic. Great science you've got going there.

it's amazing when people cherry pick studies, especially on subjects that have like no studies done on but a handful, then claim that is conclusive overwhelming evidence

like the reason climate change is a thing is because there's many multiple scientific studies done that all show this same repeated evidence, not because all the scientists took a vote and agreed on it

one study is just a puzzle piece, and sometimes its for the wrong puzzle or unusable.

(you should answer the question why behavioral science isn't science though, since it does the same peer reviewed process)

In behavioral science it is almost always too expensive to have a proper sample size or to actually repeat studies. And it would be too immoral to actually use the scientific method so it tends to be more data mining than science.

Deep down inside themselves, fat people want to be shamed. They crave and get off on negative attention. That's why they eat 3000 calories of cheese per day. Why should we deny them what they obviously so desperately crave?

I find it makes for a good laugh on a comedy forum, and I've been told laughter is the best medicine so..

Seriously tho, if there was some way you could stop having your dignity destroyed by shaming posts, or stop jamming food in your face, it would be amazing. Too bad that is just too much effort.

I love the idea that somehow "being good and kind" means any criticism of self harming behavior is bullying.

How can you change if you can't accept the reality of your destructive behavior?

I was fat as a teenager, very fat. I sorted myself out and now am healthy and look alright. That's why I don't have much sympathy for really fat people as it does take discipline. Sure, mental illness and despair make it difficult to take action for some, but a lot are just lazy and in denial that they are unhappy.

I love this image, and the video that it's from. Great watch.
