It just seems silly in the midst of all her success and all the people constantly praising her that she would care about what trolls say Because she had body dysmorphia, which meant she hyper fixated on her own flaws. So people shitting on her just adds fuel to that fire. I'm really not sure why people feel the need to be so toxic towards her. Yes, she's fat. She's already aware of that, so there's no need to constantly berate her for it. "If she doesn't like it, she should just stop being fat."

No its not right and it shouldn't happen but people are assholes so why give them ammo? Also its not "body shaming" to point out obesity. Acting like shes not or that its "beautiful" is harmful to everyone involved. She absolutely should not be made fun of because of her weight. But her weight also cannot be ignored...She has made it part of her image which I disasgree with. I hope she does find peace she doesn't deserve to be ridiculed. It absolutely is if there's no reason to talk about her weight. I can make a topic right now about her what I think about her music and ask what CE's opinion on it is, and 90% of the posts in it are going to be about her weight. Now, I can make the exact same topic about Biggie, who is quite literally named so because he was fat, and no one's going to point out that he was obese because in a topic about his art it doesnt matter how much he weighed.

R_Jackal 06/02/23 1:39:31 PM #89:	I can kind of understand being upset/angry with how Lizzo portrays herself for foolish people. The kind that hate watch shows or buy games just to complain. Personally I have no problems with her looks, or her. I'm not interested in her music particularly so I don't pay her any mind. I don't wish her ill either though, she should be allowed to work without a torrent of hate. I just don't care for her music, though it doesn't seem bad on a technical level. She's a celebrity that offers a product and presents it in a specific way. If you don't mind it you aren't obligated to partake in the product. Everyone hates that customer, right up until they become one. This is the equivalent of going in to Best Buy and screaming at the staff because they don't sell boats. Grow up, and move on. Imagine how fun your workplace would be if every disgruntled customer targeted you to take out their frustrations on. At some point, "ignore it" is no longer an option. You can't un-hear or un-see those comments you come across. <cite>R_Jackal posted [p:973881874] in Lizzo clos...

If they're both obese then they're both unhealthy, and everyone that's quick to point out Lizzo is obese "because it's unhealthy to be so" should be just as quick to say it about Biggie. Or their mom, sister, brother, grandma, friend, acquaintance and everyone else they come across. Because if you're only saying it about Lizzo, it's not about being healthy, it's about being an asshole. That's true on paper. The difference, and KEY difference, is Biggie didn't make his weight apart of his identity. Lizzo does, it's basically her most known aspect of her identity.

I can make a topic right now about her what I think about her music and ask what CE's opinion on it is, and 90% of the posts in it are going to be about her weight. Now, I can make the exact same topic about Biggie, who is quite literally named so because he was fat, and no one's going to point out that he was obese because in a topic about his art it doesnt matter how much he weighed. If you point it out in that context, you're only doing so to be an asshole.

AirFresh 06/02/23 1:44:14 PM #100:	Lizzo uses her fame to try to spread good cheer and for people to feel good about themselves. It's clearly a mental thing, and the negative comments do not help. And because she is talented and has money, people think it's just okay to completely get on her and say the nastiest things. From my perspective I see someone who is trying to help people who feel similar and be a champion but of course society shuns anything that is not perfection. I am not even a fan of her music or her at all, but I can see that. For some reason if you have money you have no right to be a human being in society, when clearly her issue is not laziness but mental.
