This whole fat acceptance is so fucking dumb. Like I'm a pretty big feminist but fuck off with allowing people to fool them selves into thinking being over weight is good for you. There's a difference between loving your healthy body and not comparing it to a VC model and blatantly being a bigot towards your own health

Word, they are trying so bad to feel good about themselves and being accepted but in reality it has to do with being unhealthy and feeling bad about yourself.
Dont misunderstand me I get the whole respect thing, but It appears to me that people try so hard to victimize themselves from something that (generally) has to do with their own behavior.

The original love your body campaign was great and had lots of good messages for woman. However over time it's just turned into "Hey you can't call me fat! I love my body"
"I need fat acceptance because I shouldn't have to worry that if I go to a doctor about a knee injury caused by a car accident it will get turned around to being about my weight. My knee does not hurt because I am fat. My knee hurts because I got hit by a fucking car. (Conveniently glossing over the fact that being fat saved me from worse injuries)"
no, you got hit by a car because your fat ass was too slow to get out of the damn way.

The funny thing about these types of campaigns is that REALLY fat people are still mad that they aren't representing TRUE ham planets in their ads.

You're always going to have fuckwits complaining about stupid shit.
"I need fat acceptance because I’m sick of feeling panicked about my body.
I’m tired of the misconceptions about health that are rife in the media and even education; health is not simply about being fat or skinny. Health comes in all shapes and sizes.
I need fat acceptance because I don’t believe people should be discriminated against for the way they look.
I need fat acceptance because without it, we will continue to dehumanise ‘fat’ people and trap them in a cycle of poor self-esteem, hopelessness and ostracism."
hahahahahaha. Jesus Christ do people not know how to accept responsibility for anything? I understand that a very select few do suffer health problems or take medications that cause weight gain and cause them to be overweight/obese. The majority of people though do not fall into this category. God, "health comes in all shapes and sizes." That might be true up until a certain point. But when you're too fucking fat to do simple tasks and go on with your day like a normal person its time for you to do something about it instead of sit behind the comfort of "fat acceptance." Guess what? No one feels sorry for your lazy ass.
Fuck, I've felt like shit about my weight for a long time but I don't sit on my fucking ass about it either. If you want to change something you have to make the change yourself. If these people have such a "poor self-esteem," then maybe they should do something to fix it. Weight is something you have full control over unless you are one of the very, very few people who cannot. God I'm so sick of hearing about this shit. Taking the easy way out and creating the idea of "fat acceptance." Fucking bullshit, "fat acceptance" literally will not help you in any fucking way. You're still going to be overweight/obese which is unhealthy... "Fat acceptance" will not make you healthy in anyway, shape, or form. Fucking do something about it.
Chewy.I'm not skinny. But not fat either. I'm rocking the "dadbod." But I'm sick of fat people expecting me to think it's okay to be unhealthy.
and that's what pisses me off. If you want to be fat, go ahead. If you want to be chubby, go ahead. But don't try to tell me anything other than a pretty low body fat percentage is healthy, outside of a few cases.
Fuck even be proud of being fat, but don't expect the rest of us to be excited for your life threatening obesity too.
