What do you think about the body positivity or fat positivity movement? (Page 2)

Question

Personally, I hate it, I think it's dumb. Not that I hate body positivity or fat people, I think body positivity itself is a great thing. But the movement has changed to become a sort of excuse for overweight or obese people when being 300lbs+ isn't healthy. Even when it comes to beauty, I don't think you can be beautiful at every weight, at some point you aren't "curvy" anymore (beauty is subjective tho, for sure there are others who think a heavier weight is more attractive). The fat/body positivity community also has a lot of toxic people in my opinion who throw around the phrase fat phobic and support food addiction. Ofc not everyone is like that, fat/body positivity can be a good thing. It's just like cancel culture with how it's originally a good thing but there are some people who make it bad.  That's my opinion or perspective on the body positivity thing, I think it could be much better. I feel like the current body positivity with how all bodies are beautiful, is currently too focused on heavier people. I think I'd like to see some focus on skin color or disabilities too. Lol sorry if I came off a bit rude, I don't feel like wording everything "nicely" currently so I'm just being more blunt and straightforward.

I hate it too. It's just an excuse and it promotes unhealthy lifestyles and makes woman look nasty. Also if the women continue to eat junk food and continue the lifestyle, it will make giving her oral in bed impossible! Due to all these fat folds and then the bitter acidy taste, ew. Women should be nice and skinny/regular precious human beings.

ItsTheNephilim · Answer

It's utterly stupid. Nothing positive about having an unhealthy body and promoting it is even dumber. Have an unhealthy body? Keep it or choose to be healthy. No need to brush it off on others.

JosyJosy · Answer

it's okay to like learn to love yourself and be comfortable in your body, etc... positive in that way. But being overweight isn't healthy, not positive at all. :(

Anonymous · Answer

You clearly do not understand the movement or its position. The movement rejects your notions of "healthy" as the product of a multi-billion dollar industry that profits off of manufacturing a "crisis" to solve using a scientifically bankrupt metric calibrated using data from before we landed on the moon. The body positivity movement is the wholesale rejection of this scam, and you are just mad that someone is standing up to the hate.

CubsterShura · Answer

Body positivity is amazing, fat positivity is a load of bull and the fat positive community is very toxic.

Cherokeehp · Answer

I don’t really care. Other people can be as skinny or as fat as they want to be. At the end of the day all I care about is if I’m a healthy weight.

gemgem · Answer

I don't think anything about it, except that the "movement" will never change what others are attracted to. So fat people who think "body positivity" is going to lead to them getting more dates are just deluding themselves and hiding from reality.

supercutebutt · Answer

I think it's great that a chubby girl always seems to find a group of hot girls to join so they can all smoosh together and laugh.

lanadelrey25 · Answer

there's nothing positive about being fat smh, I'm all for stretch mark positivity, natural healthy body positivity etc

Skadouchebag · Answer

at least it's not like that Fat Acceptance movement that outright denied there being anything unhealthy about obesity without providing a shred of evidence

Piano_11 · Answer

I think it's bad when people use it as an excuse. The motivation to become more healthy should be the main focus, not keeping up with the bad habits and feeling good about them.

_Jay_ · Answer

People forget that body positivity is really about not judging people with physical disabilities and about celebrating healthy bodies instead of celebrating too skinny/overweight bodies.

Brendan824 · Answer

I like it as it's hard for people to lose weight especially when they have the stress of everyone telling them that they're too far yes I think everyone should arrive for better health but sometimes people can't achieve that

Being fat is not attractive.

Slim, fit, solid, tight FTW.

Why settle for mediocrity for your own body or anyone elses?

Bread rolls belong on the kitchen table, not on your body. Get to the gym you cheeky kuntzzzz...

Wise4myage · Answer

I'm all for a body positivity movement If it makes people feel good about themselves. But I am against any sort of fat movement because its unhealthy.

SwanHale · Answer

BS. These girls won’t have anybody cheering them on to eat junk food when they are lying in a hospital bed at 60 wondering what’s wrong with them.

apollo3000 · Answer

There's no reason to be ashamed of own body. Also no reason to be super proud of it if it isn't in at least decent shape.

tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ · Answer

It's by far the dumbest movement of the 21st century. Being fat is not a good thing, it never was and it never will be, you have to be a retard to be positive about being an unhealthy whale.

007kingifrit · Answer

shame is an important tool for society to keep people from being bad and a burden to us all any movement deliberately trying to get rid of shame should be regarded with negativity

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's hilarious that you have to say women are plus-sized but you can still call men fat and it's cool. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cryptic-Game · Answer

Obesity should not be supported. It seems like they show their body off when obese to say hey, I don't care if I'm fat. You better like my body anyways and I'll be like no thanks. Give me that she fit and healthy body by women.

berserk945 · Answer

It completely negates the emphasis on health. And encourages people to be unhealthy.

Remember when Obama was in office and everything was about getting kids health?
Well body positivity contradicts that!

more_than_a_guy · Answer

Everyone should feel comfortable with themselves. But preaching and encouraging others to be like that obese is clearly wrong. Those people try to blame society for their own life choices.

tartaarsaus · Answer

I disagree with positivity about obese people, but beyond that, I’m fine with it

Antoineee · Answer

I do agree with you the movement has become too much like an excuse

TallAnon · Answer

I'm currently a bit overweight and I see it as a positive thing that it's being shamed, gets me to actually change things.

xichuwangwai · Answer

Movement? Yeah one needs it to remain healthy. Well it's not positivity if a movement rationalizes no-movement.

MountAverage · Answer

It has its pros and cons. I agree more with the body neutrality movement, I think.

Browneye57 · Answer

Ridiculous, isn't it? Fat is FAT. Period. If you're fat then eat less and move more. Or eat better. If you're not then quit whining about it.  Sports Illustrated 'curvy model' this year? OMFG.

Anonymous · Answer

It basically condones it , like eating too much is ok or being lazy, it’s overwhelming the healthcare system later on and the reason why medical insurance is high

Anonymous · Answer

I say we should stop talking or pointing out how someone looks rather than promoting some dumb movement..

hdjay21 · Answer

While it's good to be comfortable in your own skin, choosing to remain fat is an unhealthy choice that can lead to a number of health problems.

Eleni97 · Answer

Cause they think unhealthy is sexy. If their not 10 or under. Anything above their women who are bulimic or anorexic believing their never pretty enough. I find conference sexy it start with being comfortable being you.

The same crowd trying to force acceptance rather acceptable or not. Not realistic, now healthy, not smart. They want to force everyone else to accept what they're not willing to change.
