Body Positivity - A toxic movement?

[76561199681395417]

Is the body positivity movement causing more harm than good?
Does body acceptance enable people to have unhealthy habits?

[Mr. Tex]

It's one of the more dangerous lies told by the woke movement. I'm not for shaming people who are big, but it's irresponsible and deadly to say that it's OK to be obese.

I definitely don't approve of fat-shaming, however, it's hard to be onboard with a movement that encourages people to ignore the health risks they face in order to protect their ego. Getting too comfortable with having an unhealthy lifestyle is typically what makes people obese to begin with.

"Fat acceptance" kills more people than Covid.

Because supposedly only a trained medical professional can come to the conclusion that possessing an unhealthy physique is hazardous for one's well-being.

yes, they'd be better equipped to understand the loaded nature of healthy and unhealthy, and thinking that there's a one size fits all answer for all bodytypes.

plenty of people simply don't suffer adipose toxicity and also only gain weight when stressed. telling them it's unhealthy isn't helping them; it's denying their reality for the sake of bodily propaganda.

The healthcare industry and big pharma support this movement.
More clients/money

In contrary. The left actually are the main supporters/enablers just with the rest and for a reason. Idiosyncratic, disabled, and morally corrupted society is synonymous with control and having upper hand guaranteed over.

Having 200 health issues and looking like 70 when in the 20s/ 30 is cool.

You should always strive to be better. You don't have to be a bodybuilder but at least try.

My friend started out as 250 pounds. After working out for a year he is down to 210 which is an improvement.

Having 200 health issues is empowering.

It actually is, if you already have insurance before the ailment.

Look at what this movement has done to the world. People are unhealthier than ever and proud of it.

The body positive influences are not making it better.

Even if you're not losing weight, living a healthy life still means eating healthy and doing some exercise.

It doesn't matter if the person is fat, muscular, or skinny. Living a healthy life will always depend on the lifestyle you live.

Body Positivity allows people to ignore their health issue. It's not constructive.

However, body positivity is a symptom of a bigger issue. And that's insulting people and trying to shame them into being thin. Which, has been proven repeatedly not to help.

So while Body Positivity is bad... it's less bad than shaming people or being rude to them.

So when your hateful youtubers keep telling you that you should shame others, they are just being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

body positive takes a good concept and take it too far. you shouldn't be ashamed of your body, but you shouldn't just let it be if you can change it to be healthier either. claiming i'm insensitive when I say you're obese, and it's not healthy, is not going to magically make being obese healthy. nor does believing it is healthy.
