Somfin posted:You don't know the difference between objectification and idealisation, but you sure have a theory to tell us about how being poor and being fat are the same thing from some no-doubt-enlightened perspective. Please feel free to lay it out in full rather than making these petty little snipes. It's also possible to not body shame while also encouraging healthy habits. Granted the fat acceptance movement also adamantly rejects all of the medical science that says being too fat kills you. Then again there are also people that believe that being "overweight" doesn't hurt you so being "morbidly obese" also must not. And it's like...no. That's not how it works at all. It's problematic as well because apparently there are a hell of a lot of people who will change doctors if their doctor expresses concerns about their weight or eating habits. There are doctors who won't mention it because they're terrified of losing their patients.

The funny thing about making fun of fat people is that it demonstrably does not encourage them to lose weight and often makes it worse, yet people do it anyway almost as if they don't care about fat people getting better and just want to feel like they're better than someone That being said:

I don't have a problem with someone asking a doctor for any of these things. Just like I'll bet the people that walk around with this cue card have no problem reading the mountains of studies the doctors can provide that link obesity to health problems. Everyone wins and they get to leave more informed.

monkeytennis posted:Generalising but fat people are lazy bums with poor self control and decision making skills, and often a victim mentality. Sometimes you're just poor and stupid. I grew up fat and just barely above the poverty line, my mother grew up starving and below the poverty line. She had to raise two kids alone while working two jobs so she didn't give us the best nutritional meals or anything but we always had something to eat, even if it was often McDonalds because it was cheap and something she could pick up on the way home after a late day. As a result we didn't really learn poo poo about eating healthy until we had grown older and realized how unhealthy our lifestyle was and had the luxury of learning how to lose weight on our own time. Even then it sucked because I live in a place where fresh fruit is expensive and goes bad after a day or two, if you're lucky enough that the stuff in the store isn't already going bad. But hey, there's a mcdonalds on every other street.

"The research I've seen" has got to be the most annoying start of any sentence a doctor hears. Seriously. "Well, bad news. You've got prediabetes. Not a huge problem now, but we can manage it before it gets worse through a better diet and finding you ways to be more active." "The research I've seen says..." *silently offers his eternal soul to satan in exchange for the ability to burn the patient alive telekinetically* Informed consent and second opinions are great, but whipping this poo poo out until someone begrudgingly says "FINE YOU'RE GOOD JUST GET OUT OF MY OFFICE" is just shopping for the answer you want. Also a vast majority of people who attempt weight loss fail because they don't loving listen to their physicians or fall for some dumbass TV flavor-of-the-week diet scheme, not because losing weight is a bad idea.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Also a vast majority of people who attempt weight loss fail because they don't loving listen to their physicians or fall for some dumbass TV flavor-of-the-week diet scheme, not because losing weight is a bad idea. That or they just plain do a diet wrong or lie to themselves about how much exercise they're getting. It's also common to just plain give up because of setting impossibly high standards. Society is of course partly at fault on that one but still. One of the most interesting thing I noticed about diets is that the people who succeed at dieting are generally the ones that cheat on them. If you eat properly 6 days a week and then eat like garbage on the 7th...well hey that's better than eating like crap every day, isn't it? Of course the other thing is that we've associated "healthy" with "bland or tastes bad." We've associated dieting with subsisting entirely on a few lettuce leaves and a picture of a potato every day. If you aren't running literal marathons you aren't exercising. Then again as was said before here it's just plain easier to be fat and lazy.

Yeah, I'm not fat, which or some reason people will assume whenever you stand up for them. But I want heavy people to have self-worth, which I think will be the best guide to them living a better and healthier life.

Making fun of fat people is the safest group of people you can bully online because they'll always fall on 'Thermodynamics!' stawmen and nobody is risking losing their jobs over Mocking fat people online.

They always seem to inject it into a few specific muscles and then not balance it out. Or they'll inject it in a way that makes them look like a bunch of person-colored balloons taped together.

Hopefully he built up some muscle while doing it, so he doesn't look like a deflated balloon under all that.

Isn't that the guy who injected a bunch of stuff into his biceps and then when it solidified into this stone-like substance narrowly avoided having both of his arms amputated (he had surgery to remove the stuff he'd injected with instead)?

When I see Goatse now it isn't horrifying, but more like running into an old friend on the street. (I feel like I've seen similar sentiment expressed on the forums so I apologize if I somehow copied it word for word)
