Do you think being fat/overweight is subjective?

Subjective means matter of individual opinions, tastes or feelings.

I don’t think being fat or overweight is subjective.
I think being fat or overweight is a medical term that doctors can class a person as being so.

To a degree

In a clinical perspective there is definitely a fine line

But if we're talking just from the idea of fat and not fat then there's a little more gray in between but there is still limits to where that gray extends till you are either definitely not fat or you most certainly are fat

And I feel like in that gray area yeah you could go either way saying oh yeah this person's here's fat or you're like no this person isn't fat because yeah there is a gray area

Of course it can be a medical classification but what weight is deemed to be "overweight" for a particular height is subjective and somewhat arbitrary. E. g. a male who is 5' 9" and who weighs 168 pounds is deemed healthy but a male who is 5' 9" and weighs 169 pounds is deemed overweight.

overweight is not subjective, overweight just means you're weight is too fat for you to be considered healthy if that makes sense. although i do think fat is kind of subjective; someone may call a 130 pound person fat while someone else might consider someone who's 170+ pounds fat.

It is subjective. People can be overweight according to BMI but just because their BMI categorizes them as overweight doesn't mean they actually are overweight. Some people either have a lot of muscle mass or have large frames.

That girl Julien on Gossip Girl got in trouble for saying exactly that (“There’s a difference between thicc and fat”)

Being fat is real it’s not just a term
its real, and facts don’t care about feelings

[Memefiend]

the term fat is absolutely objective. overweight and obese are not, but I have seen women who my friends have called "fat" that to me were slim.
