There are plenty of outliers who are technically considered "obese" but are perfectly healthy. I'm not denying that. The people I'm talking about here are the ones who are over 400 pounds and use body positivity as an excuse to neglect their health
Quote:part of body positivity is fighting for the notion that bigger waigt is not something to be laughed at or shamed. u dont have to be insecure with urself to fight against laughing at the expense of overwaigt ppl. its part of the movementHere's the thing: cartoons are for laughing at. We take parts of ourselves and exaggerate them for a humorous effect. When I see a fat shy guy, I don't think "oh he probably has a thyroid problem, how sad". I think "hey, there's a shy guy who probably ate a shitload of cake, that's funny". How is that laughing at the expense of overweight people? It's not like I condone fat-shaming human beings out in the real world.
Like are there really people who played the first Paper Mario and felt victimized when the Fat Guy geeks out over a cake? Most fat people probably like cake. Isn't that like, a statistical probability? Why can't body positivity include a celebration of the things that actually make people fat?
