In your opinion, what do you think about fat acceptance?

In my opinion, yes, we all have to respect everyone whether they are different and accept them for who they are. But, I don't like the idea of fat acceptance. People with overweight body is unhealthy, and that is a fact! They can live with many sicknesses due to their unhealthy body. And support them to stay in their body is a bad idea! Instead of judging them for their size, why don't we support them to become healthy? I mean become healthy is not about having a nice, fit body. It's about keeping balance in health and have a healthy lifestyle.

What do you think?

@Shaman A trait of narcissism is a lack of empathy and they especially have difficulty empathizing with people on issues that they themselves have never been through.

Nothing in your words indicated any empathy. It’s a very totality viewpoint. Your pushing your ideas on other people and using semantic terminology to explain it.

Ideas and concepts like perfection, self worth, how people should improve themselves. You explained what they meant to you. And you assumed that your own definitions of those ideas and concepts must apply to others as well.

That’s not true at all.

Another dead give away, is how you’re using your own existence to justify putting your beliefs on other people. You say things along the lines of “Well i’m apart of the system, therefore it is my business.” Their is a subtext of an inflated self importance when you say something like that.

@QueenOfZaun Of course I see myself important. I see any individual in the system I'm in as important as me. I think this can be derived from the things I've said.

I disagree on empathy. If I was unemphatetic I would not care the slightest about their health. What do you think?

"That's not true at all." You should explain why it is not, else it is no different then "you're wrong"

This is one of my world views. I don't think your image of me will change after reading this, because as I perceive, you are more focused on not admitting that I have valid points than to actually try to understand me, but anyway...

@Shaman If you were empathetic you would understand how damaging your thought process can be to fat people. You seem to care a lot about their physical health but their mental health.

The idea that everybody should conform to be “thin” and “healthy” is bullshit and it makes people feel horrible about themselves. That they aren’t worth something unless they look a certain way. Especially people that have medical conditions that make it damn near impossiable to ever fit that image.

Alright I’ll elaborate on what I said. Your idea of perfection, what constitutes self worth, what makes somebody a well balanced indivdual. It’s all semantic. It means something different to everybody. And for you to take your ideas of what perfection is, self worth, the proper mindset somebody should have. For you to take those ideas, and to use them on other people. To preach that they should conform to yours...because why? Because you believe your ideas are superior to theirs? That because you believe that your so infalliably right about your idealogy, That then makes you entitled to spread your “wisdom” to other people even if it can be very damaging?

No, you live your life and stay out of other people’s. Not everybody has to conform to you. It’s not your business to tell other people what to do with their bodies.

As long as somebody is happy and well adjusted kind person. That’s all that should matter. Not if they fit you and societies idea of what human should look like.

@Shaman Oh is that cognitive dissonance i’m starting to detect? Yeah, I expected as much. It must be pretty shocking for someone like you to learn that your idealogy isn’t perfect and can do way more harm then good.

@QueenOfZaun It's quite interesting that you support kindness where you attack my ideas in an assertive way. I will demonstrate it on you once.

You are deluding yourself that your attemtp of manipulation have worked on me. It may have until now with other people, but I know myself. You think you're entitled to tell what to do to people because you think your judgement is better, as you are deceiving yourself that you are kind and emphatetic. Your approach is really dangerous and I am callig you on that. However, you will not stop, I know. It's of no importance, I rest my case.

QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F

@Shaman No I simply disagree with you on a viewpoint. Really doesn’t go any deeper then that. And frankly, i’m not a nice person. I don’t claim to be. You’re a random, rude narcissistic person on the internet. I don’t owe you any respect. Of course someone like you would complain about not receiving respect. Because your so narcissistic you presume that your owed respect. You aren’t. Get off your high horse.

Now you’re being manipulative trying to use my own argument against me because you’ve realized your own isn’t working. You’re literally just repeating what I said to you back to me.

You’ve run out of things to say to me. Now you’re just lashing out in anger at this point because you feel insecure.
