What do you think about this whole "plus size" model phenomina thats happening? Theyre trying to cancel Jordan Peterson for it

This is why i hate a lot of liberal views. Im tired of PC culture, lies, and pandering. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the Asian model on the SI magazine

Ridiculous. I see it as manipulation. Trying to force an ideal on society that overweight/obese is a good thing, when it is unhealthy and not attractive. Of course the extreme the other way is just as bad. It's not a good thing to force on the impressionable minds of the young.

Somewhere in the middle would be a far better representation.

@MntoNc when the skinniest people live the longest a like now, Doesn't that mean most people are too fat?

I don’t have a problem with plus side modelling. Particularly as plus size women are very common, we can’t just not cater for them.

@BlueVeins wouldnt bother me if it was banned. I could easily live without it

@MntoNc It's fine if you don't like it, but other people do sooooooooooo
Changeisgonnacome · 61-69, F
@CakeByTheOcean yeah you can. It's wrong to be so fat and they should not get comfortable with it at all. Never

Some people find thin people attractive and some people find fat people attractive, so we have both thin and fat models. Jordan Peterson insulted her, so a bunch of people insulted him back. If what they're doing is "canceling," then so is what he did to her. He can dish it, but he just can't take it, and that's why I have so little respect for the man.

@Changeisgonnacome If you're concerned about obesity, then the best policy prescriptions for that are dense, walkable cities, access to healthcare, and ending corn syrup subsidies. It would also help to try and make life less stressful, such as by improving working conditions & hours through unionization.

@BlueVeins you're on your own. No public health planning in the freedom country. It's probably illegal to stop investing in more car culture. Riding is enforced.

@Changeisgonnacome Privatized healthcare is less free than single payer though, private health insurers limit the providers you can go to based on who's in-network, and they force you to pay high rate for their services. If you want freedom, single payer healthcare is the way to go.

It's probably illegal to stop investing in more car culture. Riding is enforced.

Not entirely false, but the solution to that is to just change the law. Some cities in the US have already done that and it's been great.

Nobody is forcing anyone to be attracted to that model. Peterson himself decided to get involved. 🤣

He was mocked, not cancelled. He said he would leave Twitter but then didn't.

His arguments on this are dumb anyway. The model in question is much closer to a healthy female than the swimsuit models who normally appear here.

'Naawwwt athletic!' he squeels. Well Jordan, the typical Kate Upton SI model is not athletic either!. Size zero women with big boobies don't make Olympic teams. It's obviously not the point of SI cover girls. Well done though for giving a stupid opinion to a question that nobody asked.

Being overweight is definitely your personal choice. It's going to shorten your life and make you less healthy, in most cases, but if these gals want it to seem normal, they will make it normal. They're greedy and aggressive and dishonest-. "Plus Size" -. Why not"Fat and Obese"sizes if it's okay? It's not.
I don't think it's about that. I think she's not afraid to be herself. @Changeisgonnacome

I don't have a problem with it unless I am being shamed for preferring to look at women with a more classical hour glass figure.

Jordan Peterson is being attacked by almost everyone these days...I think he quit Twitter recently because of it...
Gangstress · 41-45, F
So if he said all Muslim men are ugly as fuck. Youd be fine with it
MntoNc · 36-40, M
@Gangstress well first off i wouldnt care since he's a man. But for the sake of argument, being overweight is generally considered unattractive. There's a reason why there are liposuction doctors out there. Whens the last time you saw a doctor that puts fat in people's stomach? Nice try though 👍

He statement was odd because he was criticizing a reaction before it happened.

He could have said he didn’t find her beautiful, but why imply no one else could. I find that model quite beautiful.

Also, I understand he criticizes people for being too sensitive, but then he quit Twitter over people responding , so the whole thing seemed absurd.

It's a delicate subject, because I find most women to be super insecure about their looks in general and bodies specifically. There's someone interested in EVERY body type, and yet we shouldn't send out the message that being unhealthy is OK(in extreme circumstances). I married a plus-size woman years ago, so I was front-and-center for the struggle. It was always "as long as you're healthy" but the psychological/self-image takes a toll as well.

@uncalled4 people have control of their weight! We act like people cant control the food in their mouth or their lifestyle. Short MEN on the other hand, have no control over that. (I'm 6'2 so i got lucky) bald men have no control over hair loss so lets quit with all the excuses and nonsense. A woman's ONE job for men is to be good looking, and theyll get scooped up by a man real quick. A man has multiple jobs - be in shape, made good money, be a provider, be a protecter a leader, etc. And if a woman cant do the very basic thing of controlling weight. Thats an issue
