Just to call back to an SBS article from last year: why fat shaming doesn't help anyone


(the article contains a link to more info about the research)

People can't understand the difference between chanting "fatty fatty fat fat" at a rando and saying to a friend "I'm worried about your health so lets go walking together after work every day".

Anyway I own a $1700 rowing machine so gently caress you all.

Disclaimer: fatty

There's more to it than just calories in and calories out, which isn't to say the laws of physics bend and warp around fat people but rather that different body compositions and conditions react to the presence of excess unused sugars in different ways. It's established now that current or ex fatties have to maintain a caloric deficit for basically their whole lives to keep weight off compared to a person who had never been fat. Key points I remember were brown fat activity and the presence of empty fat cells making storage efficient disposal versus the body having to create fat cells in skinny people so it was more efficient to dump it other ways.

In my case I blame parental neglect, I couldn't buy my own coke but it was always there and we rarely had vegetables or proper meals, and at 13 she stopped offering school lunch food except mushasi bars because I was "fat" (I went through puberty super young so I wasn't fat I was lady shaped). So think a targetted education and tax strategy on baby and child foods production and advertising would be a good start. And more focus on parental education. And mental illness.

I know a guy that goes to the gym three times a week and tries to lose weight, then after a month of hard work can't see a discernible change and just loving gorges on poo poo for the following month and gets fatter. It kills me because he's trapped in the eating because sad loop and I can't get him to see a psychiatrist which I think will help him plan a brain strategy for that make or break gently caress this moment.

You cannot outrun a bad diet.

I know some people that have terrible diets and are huge and ripped. They work out for hours every day though and gently caress that. I stopped eating bread (except at a cafe) because I'm a toastie fiend and I reckon that immediately excised 2000 calories a week from my diet.

My boss at my old company had some genuinely crazy ideas about teachers. Like signing up to be a teacher means you should just accept unpaid overtime and if you were properly organised you'd average out to about 5 hours a day monday to Friday across the year. Oh and you should give up your nights and weekends For The Kids voluntarily for no extra pay.

I pointed out she was expecting teachers to put other people's children over their own families and she... Didn't see an issue with this. At all. And if you became a teacher you should just accept this.

(I nearly told her 200 years ago there were people who thought becoming a worker during the industrial revolution meant accepting the risk of dying in a horrifying industrial accident and thems the breaks)

There are many, many people out there who seriously think like this.

Telling these people that workers used to die at work often just sets them off like you're a crazy fucker and destroys the conversation. Half of them don't believe current workplace death statistics or just blame the dead idiot.

For instance "only 15.3% of surveyed furries have any attraction to animals" is the base line where they have to defend themselves from being called animal fuckers in the same way a gay man is maligned as a paedophile. Is the furry hate because of this 15% or one Nazi?

I think the problem is that you're asking what might have just been a tongue-in-cheek question, "why respect furries less than trans people", and the unspoken implication of that comment is that, on some level, these people shouldn't be respected, or should be respected less, whatever. That's why you're getting the backlash - because if you have to ask why you're not respecting people (for whatever reason), you've just demonstrated that the notion of showing less respect for people, based on dumb reasons like their gender identity, is not something you've already figured is stupid and crass.

From my experience, people who get super-invested in identifying as gamers are typically way loving worse people than furries, and it has nothing to do with the trivial poo poo like how they identify themselves within a nerdy subculture and everything to do with how they treat other people.

I was just addressing the thread going ha ha furries et al and judging everyone's ways of finding community or feeling comfortable with themselves.
