@Torsten I think that's simplistic, I don't see body positivity as saying 'fat is attractive' or that it's a positive thing. Like an ugly building isn't much to look at but it would still keep you dry if it rains! To me it's about not reducing someone to their appearance and 'because' they are fat/unhealthy/etc, they are worthless (or just worth less). I don't think that message is obvious or consistent and it might just be my personal take. Speaking as a fat person lol
