Does Fat Acceptance apply for Men, too?

Just wondering since I only ever see Women talking about body positivity in regards to another female's body.. Not so much men

it doesnt apply to women or men, no matter how much people try.

@Torsten Sooner to the grave? I mean that's a positive for some people.

@Torsten Oh, yeah I think that's just denial.

@Teirdalin its lazy people wanting to push that narrative instead of doing the work and get in shape

@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
