I don’t see where this stops, either.

Unless there’s a civil war, which seems unlikely, this will just get worse and worse.

Yea, keeping fat people fat via "body positivity" and then acting surprised when they get bullied online on top of in person... you can't make it up

The country would be much healthier if fat shaming was accepted.

It started out trying to change the image that looking like a rail-thin runway model shouldn't be desirable and was very unhealthy (which it is). But that doesn't mean the pendulum should swing ENTIRELY in the other direction. Being morbidly obese is equally, if not more, unhealthy. NEITHER are body types young girls should strive to achieve.

I don’t mind telling people a few extra pounds is ok and to not be anorexic, but this woman is on path to an early death. Suctioning yourself into tight clothes and stretching doesn’t make you “healthy”

I wish it were that easy.

Instead our modern healthcare can prolong their fat lives and put a strain on health insurance prices.

That's because "achieving" a healthy body weight isn't always fun or easy. It takes some degree of will-power, accountability and discipline.

It's not "easy" to pass up eating a whole bag of cookies and opt, instead, for a piece of fruit. It is much more pleasurable to eat a cheeseburger and fries every day than a meal of lean meat and vegetables. It's easy to pile an entire bag of chips and salsa into your gut in one sitting (I KNOW!) than to back away from the table. It's tough to motivate yourself to exercise every day.


This is a trend that crosses all issues.

The premise is to feel good with zero sacrifice or effort whether that be health, mental health, education, student loans, policing, salary, etc.

We're shunning reality at a staggeringly unsustainable clip

It stops when enough people can engage in a modicum of critical thinking to realize just how absurd and illogical such such positions are. Unfortunately, there seems to be a large absence of that in our country (and our education system seems to be doing less and less to fix that) so it will likely have to take extreme examples of ridiculousness to trigger basic levels of critical thinking in a large portion of the populace.

so the whole "body positive" movement is meant to curb the very real mental health issues

but instead of pushing ways to actively improve mental health, there is this push of "all is well" or "its them not you" approach

its very shortsighted


yep. and the thing is, it’s just going to morph into a lot of lonely adults.

very few people are going to want to marry the beast on that cover. these chicks will just chase desperate dudes on dating apps for quick scores and eventually get knocked up, have a kid or two and be resentful at men and society their whole life

very few people will want to marry guys who are morbidly obese. these dudes will just sit around and watch porn and throw money at onlyfans chicks and grow up resentful at women.

just not a good trend at all

I see Cosmo is whistling past the graveyard as those healthy individuals succumb to a virus in far greater numbers than those who are actually healthy.

It's going to be next to impossible to burst this bubble any time in the next decade. You've essentially got a hegemony of information distributors between traditional media, social media, and tech companies. Hell, we even have medical journals now that are affirming all this garbage. Even during the height of the lockdowns, medical personnel were marching in large crowds for BLM then, 2 weeks later, were out in the streets blocking anti-lockdown protestors and calling them murderers for doing the exact same thing they themselves were doing 2 weeks prior. The Orwell comparisons have become cliché, but at this point, I don't know how else to describe it.
