How many of you think Fat shaming is OK and they should not be accepted in society?

I feel fat shaming is bad... Yes it is unhealthy but we all have some unhealthy habits... I also have eating disorder and I can't gain weight. A lot of women get obese after pregnancy... Would you fat shame your wife, mother or sister?

Any shaming like that is stupid. it's not like they don't look in the mirror, purchase their clothes, or any of that other stuff. they're VERY aware, and some random asshat coming up and pointing it out in some concern troll sort of way isn't going to change those facts. i could understand someone close to them saying they think they need some help. but a complete stranger being rude to someone without offering some way they might help themselves, or work toward what is considered "healthier" is pointless, and just a way for someone to feel better about NOT being the person they're looking down on. even other fat people do it and it's stupid" i'm fat but not THAT fat" etc 🙄

@DancingStarGoddess: i'll add to this that telling people who are very thin that they need to go " eat a sandwich" IS the same thing. and equally as fucked up. knock it off people.

@DancingStarGoddess: yes.... My parents constantly push me to eat everything.... God! I'm tired of eating. Eating is boring.

@minnie: absolutely, people don't understand sometimes, on both ends of that spectrum, it's actually pretty harmful, and they could even be pushing you to eat the wrong things, eating more isn't exactly a solution if what you're eating is bad things anyways. you could be thin and still dying from clogged arteries. if they want to help it'd be better if they really looked into it, or even asked you how YOU desire to look for yourself.
