I started noticing people hating fat people on social media and disguise it as just science.
It’s like they would point at certain person and mock him for his fatness and when someone point out their behavior, they just say something along the lines of he is fat which means he is not going to live for so long if he went on like this, so I am just pointing facts for him
Poeple should show the science of being fat and point out the bad effects of it has on body, but they should not show the science on a living human to mock him, the purpose should be education for the the uneducated not mocking with the shield of science.
I almost had never seen people mocking smokers for example or even people who are addicted to drugs, while it’s normalized to mock fat people, despite the fact that it will make them more vulnerable to weight loss products that is either harmful to the body or scamming them of their money.
You’re right. Let’s not make jokes at their expanse.
But we certainly shouldn’t sugar coat the facts or they’ll eat them too.

I feel this is because things like smoking, drinking, and drug use are all immediately recognized as addictions people can struggle to overcome, but the same isn’t true for over eating. Even anorexia is clearly thought of as an eating disorder, but do obese people have an eating disorder? I’d say they do. I think the only reason it’s not thought of as a disorder is because it’s so common.
OP is trying to make himself a unique victim
claiming people don’t slag junkies and smackheads is the wildest claim I’ve read on the internet this week
Addicts are one of the most marginalized groups in the world. Because their situation is self-inflicted, very few people will offer them a helping hand. It’s the same with the homeless - the prevailing opinion is that they got themselves into it so they should get themselves out.
I don’t agree with those opinion but it’s crazy to pretend they aren’t made fun of

I had never mentioned myself in the post.

I guess we don’t have the same experiences.

You didn’t have to.
Well it’s good you realized this, fucking wild it took till 2024…

Baby steps I guess tho, both those groups are mocked too.
I generally live by the adage that everyone makes their own personal choices for their own reasons so I try not to make fun of people for their choices, or in a few cases genetics. I especially try to avoid making fun of people for something they actually have no choice in such as genetics. I’m a bald man, but when I was a kid I used to make fun of my dad for being bald until he sat me down and explained to me how horrible it was to make fun of a person’s genetic situation. In general the rule I try to keep myself to is that I won’t joke about it unless the person in question would joke about it as well.

We need to bring back the pre-colonial law where having a big belly was punishable: http://ravensgard.org/prdunham/irishfood.html

why not hate them for both scientific reasons and viscerally?
Why hate them? Is it too much to offer them good help to make them improve their body?
