Stop Fat Shaming?


As a fat girl, and a decent human being, I think supporting fat shaming or any form of bullying or encouragement of teasing/making people feel horrible, embarrassed, or ashamed based on the way they look, is one of the ugliest things anyone can be. I'll take being fat to being an ignoramus any day. Not only that, but this post stinks of latent sexism.
But once I push my disgust for your complete disregard of how to treat people with compassion and kindness, I actually feel bad for you. I don't think I've ever experienced the level of fucked up it takes to actually WANT to shame people based on their bodies. Maybe because I grew up as a fat kid, but I don't know. It's a specific psychological experience to want to humiliate and encourage shame based on bodies, looks, appearance. I don't know who to thank - a god, if there is one, or my parents for just raising me in a way that resulted in a person a parent could be proud of - but thank fucking heaven that's not me.
I'm all for body positivity and acceptance. The alternative is rather saddening to me, and I've been there. Body positivity is the psychologically healthier option in terms of self-esteem, confidence, and self-perception.
Fat shaming or shaming of any kind is unnecessary. There are genuinely people such as myself who walk 5 miles daily, eat a healthy diet but due to a disorder can't be stick thin. When you bully someone even if they don't have a disorder like PCOS or hypothyroidism, you're essentially telling them they're an unworthy human being. Every human being is worthy. I have suffered fro anorexia for nearly a year. Do you realize what it's like to think obsessively about calories? To be rushed to the hospital because you feel your heart erratically pumping and then fainting in my dad's arms? Do you know why I went down that route? Because of people like you that shame others. You have no idea if a person is overweight due to a metabolic disorder, depression, or simply to escape a traumatic event and they have a food addiction. Sure you can shake someone and cause them more trauma. Push them into anorexia or bulimia. FYI, anorexia has a mortality rate of 20%. Instead of fat shaming someone offer to help them with meals or walk or jog with the person if you're so worried about their health. Do it in a nice way. Criticizing helps no one.
Someone is fat, so you think getting on your high horse and kicking someone while they're struggling with something some how makes you look better. You're purposing picking on someone who is struggling with something in their life. To me that makes you a far worse person than someone who eats too much.
So no, keep fat shaming. It's an easy way to see people for who they really are.
No one should ever be bullied or shamed for their physical appearance.
I don't agree with the whole "fat acceptance" movement, though. It just seems inherently stupid to be proud of being unhealthy/overweight.
there are people who are over weight even if they starve or only eat once a day so... its not always food that makes people fat
Us on team fat don't need your opinion.
At the same time, people who think they deserve to be called beautiful when we're putting no effort into our appearance or health are crazy.
Basically, don't be dick, but no one should feel obligated to lie about someone being attractive.

Lol fat shaming happens to both sexes. Everyone might hate me for this but minor fat shaming is good
Because ok
Listen
Because it might put some sense into the really overweight person that what they're doing is going to kill them of they keep gaining weight. They're just harboring all these health risks.
Now
I'm not saying always fat shaming is good because it isn't
And at huge amounts
It isn't
It's just bullying and will do more damage than good
Yea I so agree. Why do people have to be so damn mean? I'm not heavy and never have been, actually I'm on the too skinny side always have been. I too get nasty comments. What the fuck! People are mean, rude and stupid.
I believe in live and let live! If a person is fat, so what? That's none of my concern. He/she is not doing me any harm by being fat, so what right to do I have to shame he/her?
Stop shaming in general. People are aware of what they're doing and if it's not having a direct impact on your life, then shut the fuck up about their choices.
I don't know why this person needs to feel he has to shame others. People who use shaming as a tactic should look at their lives and perhaps fix theirs before criticizing other people's.
But wtf do you Care? They know they are fat and trust me you've no idea the issues going on in their brain. Fyi, over eating, emotional eating are ALL eating disorders.
I'm notnsayong praise a fat person you see on one of those rascal things but talking shit on a random person for being fat just make youblook like the pathetic one
Well since no one else has said it: "sure I'd fuck that. Chubby girls work harder".
Yes I am ashamed of myself. Ill leave now.
there are people who are over weight even if they starve or only eat once a day so... its not always food that makes people fat
but sex can be controlled.. we weren't born with we inherited with urges,,, if there werent so much dirty crap or half clothed people and if people waited till marriage people wouldn't be " addicted " to sex
opps typo but... anyways sex is comething we can control we can't control weight though if we inherited "fat" traits
sexual desires cannot be controlled, unless the person takes medication, but not naturally. it's actually the same as hunger.
@thewanderingme i control my sexual desires... and i was born with a promiscuous personality and im still a virgin. never had sex and im 23... you can control it keep yourself away from anything that temps you pr turns you on and presto
those who can't control themselves are just weak
if people wait and dont have sex in the first place they won't get addicted
that's why i want to wait till im married first
no, you don't. you repress your sexual desires by not acting on them.
I'm totally against bullying someone for their physical appearance wether because they're fat , skinny or whatever but I hate it when certain movements try to convince us that it's "beautiful" because it definitely is NOT
It's much more complicated than you make it
How so?
Fuck off ye fat bastart
I agree ☺...
Oh look! A troll!
