They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them! Yeah, they were awful, awful people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 years ago (3 children) I too have been struggling with my weight for most of my life (the worst was 135 kilos at 189cm height, usually sitting around 95-100). I have been occasionally made fun of as a kid for it too, so I’m happy treating fat people like shit isn’t that acceptable any more. However, I actually feel society has gone too far in accepting it, being overweight is very unhealthy and at a certain point even a burden on everyone around you and the healthcare system. It should not be normalized like this. Fat people don’t deserve to be ostracized, but they sure as shit don’t need to hear that they are healthy and okay to remain as they are, because it’s a blatant and dangerous lie. For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago I personally don't struggle with my weight, but whether I do or not is enitrely irrelevant. Body shaming is a big problem, and such conversations need to be kept between a medical provider and the patient. Someone's weight should not be up for discussion on a public platform. Also, I do think it is good for people to love and accept themselves, no matter what their weight. In fact, in most cases this is the first step toward resolving health problems and addictions, which is something I am experienced with. When I felt ashamed of my addiction, I was caught in a circle of guilt from which I would never have become sober. It wasn't until I learned to accept myself where I was at that made it possible for me to heal. But I'm not applying my experience to everyone else. This may vary by individual, which is why it is paramount that these discussions happen on an individual basis between the patient and provider. permalink fedilink source parent [–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition. It is? This sounds more like a moral judgment based on nothing but perception and the way fat people os portray in media and exactly wat the fat acceptance movement try to fight against. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Everyone can shut the f%# up about fatshaming, does someone have scientific evidence that shaming people for being fat does anything other than needlessly hurt people? I am betting that it makes it FAR more likely that the shamed person will spiral into more negative behaviors that result in their health worsening. People need to stop pretending the glee they feel in judging others when fat shaming as also somehow a genuine concern for their health.
