you switched the yes and no options around

Yes you did. The question in the poll is the opposite of the topic title. Your poll is now meaningless.

As for my answer, no, I don't support fat shaming. The simple reason is, it doesn't work. Shaming actions can be effective. Because we shamed smoking and drunk driving, those activities declined sharply.

But being fat isn't an action, it's a result. And the actions leading to that result are not shamed at all by society. If you're genetically lucky enough that you can eat nothing but junk food and sit on your ass without getting noticeably fat, you will suffer no shaming. If you aren't, you won't experience shaming until you've already gained the weight and formed lots of bad habits. So now you're in this state where it's super hard to change, making you feel like shit and easily able to spiral into depression.

So no, it's not a good idea in any way.
