Thin shaming is just as bad as fat shaming (Page 2)

[Gedaria]

YES very much so, we all have ideal when it comes weight and size in prefer thinner medium height women , but I would not berate anyone because they are fat or overly skinny. You don't know what she is going through it could be causing her a lot of anxiety , last thing she needs is someone who thinks they are perfect ( which usually they not) to be bad mouthing anyone about their weight …..

[AoiXiaolang99]

Skinny equals healthy.
Fat equals unhealthy.

Shaming someone for being healthy is stupid. While I don't believe that people should be bullied for being fat, their unhealthy lifestyle should not be promoted and they should be encouraged to take better care of themselves.

[Prungles75]

That's a horribly oversimplified and inaccurate description of what is healthy

[Anon-ymous1]

... People need to fucking stop using the word "-shaming" in conjunction with some prior descriptor. It's stupid.
Anyway, there's *no such thing* as "thin shaming." 1) Any chick who "thin shames" another girl is almost certainly just fat or overweight herself, and is simply jealous of the thinner girl, so what she says doesn't matter, and 2) any guy who "thin shames" a girl is a fucking moron, since being thin is attractive on girls and being fat isn't.

This is very, very simple.

this happens to me bc i'm short and quite small (relatively thin), i don't really take that much to lunch so my friends always say i eat like a chipmunk when in fact i'm just not hungry at lunch often.

Thin shaming is not as bad as fat shaming. Its much worse. There is nothing wrong with fat shaming, being fat is both ugly and unhealthy, plus its something everybody can control. While being thin is usually healthy, attractive, and even when its not, then its not something you can easily change. Either way, thin shaming shouldn't exist. Fat shaming should.

[lumos]

No sort of shaming should exist. Shaming promotes unhealthy mindsets and can help in the development of eating disorders and other mental illnesses. If you're such a huge advocate for "health", why the fuck are you so quick to completely disregard the importance of *mental* health?

[Opinion Owner]

@lumos because, while shaming does have certain bad sides to it, it makes people choose: either fix their fucked up condition, or learn to live with it and the bad image it leaves on others. I don't fully support shaming of any kind, but in case of fat people, fat shaming is far worse than fat acceptance, because fat acceptance is shamelessly lying to people's faces, and encourages people to be ugly and unhealthy.

[Kurαȷ]

The majority of people these days are fat.
The society no longer knows what a healthy weight should look like.
Welcome to the backwards lands, where the fat and disgusting have become the rule.

[TheDevilCat]

omg i never experienced that kind of bullying, i'm kind of in between the 1st and 2nd doll i guess. whoever bullies people because of their body shape is stupid. probably insecure or jealous of your skinniness.

[Phanta]

Yes, thin shaming is as bad as fat shaming, because both are sticking one's nose in somebody else's business.

[Drooogie4]

Shaming anyone for their weight or bodily features is just cruel and unnecessary across the board.

[Logorithim]

Agreed- it can be really rough (I know this from personal experience).

[AllieVT]

I have a friend that is 5'10', 105 lbs. She gets hate about her thinness all the time. She eats a ton too. She has looked like this her whole life. Her family is also all super thin just like her. It effected her so bad that she went to a dietician to see how to gain weight. She had to track everything she ate. The dietician told her that she shouldn't increase her intake because she was already eating plenty. She is a super sweet girl who shouldn't get all the hate she gets.

[turnmypainintopower1]

I would say so I am 5'4 and 100 pounds and everyone has told me to gain weight all the time and I am kinda done with it

[SpiderManFan2002]

I agree with you. Double standards at there finest.
I'm like you, I'm really skinny only I'm short - about 156cm xD

[Miristheiss]

Grow some balls.

There is "shame" in the world. I'm not really concerned about any type of shaming. Quit worrying and caring about what everyone thinks or says.

[Princess199902]

I totally agree with you, everyone should be accepted for their body size, thin or fat. You do you because you're special in your own way :)

[RussianNestingDoll]

since obesity is an epidemic most people are brainwashed to think no one can just be thin. She is awfully dumb for a 50 year old!

[Browneye57]

Naw... shaming is good. People these days have no shame and they really should have SOME. ;)

[Phanta]

I agree with you. But I oppose fat shaming because people use it to get the focus off their own faults, which are usually worse than being fat. They are not doing it to shame the person into being thin and healthy.

[Browneye57]

@Phanta - we don't care why they do it. Fat is fat.

[Phanta]

You should care, because if people were nice instead of being assholes, the world would be much more pleasant. And if you don't have an 8 pack of abs and have every muscle and vein popping out, bodybuilders could say: Fat is fat. They would be right.

[Browneye57]

@Phanta Ah, you're one of those 'should' people. Shoulding everybody to death. Got it. ;)

[LuWe22]

I feel you. I´m also thin but I still eat normally and sweet stuff to. Still not gaining weight. The comments from other people mean nothing. I know that I´m normal

[LeoElias]

Yeah being skinny can suck. I used to be skinny. You can turn it around by just eating a lot and working out. You would be one of those normal weight fit girls that are super hot.

[NeglectedChild]

Next time someone says something stupid just slap them.
