For the people here who are OK with fat shaming to get people to lose weight let me ask you this: if you had a family member or loved one and some stranger made fun of their weight, would you be OK with that?

This is why fat shaming isn't cool. I'm ALL for losing weight to get healthy and I believe everyone should do so they live long and healthy lives. But fat shaming to do so isn't the way to go about it.

Your post immediately brought this to mind:

Sorry for the quality, that's the best I could find on Youtube

See, if this had been fat women, people would have screamed about having to look at this on their television. Especially then.

I mean. Thats not really true even on the surface. Are we pretending dad bod isnt a whole thing? Are we pretending there isnt a ton of media about a fat guy dating conventionally attractive women? like, again, literally every sitcom ever? James Cordens entire career? f***ing Family Guy, even
Are you telling me you you are basing reality off family guy and sitcoms, and that woman swoon over fat obese men who would get out of breath going up a flight of stairs? Even going off movies and TV shows, there are tons more of woman swooning over the Chris Evens(sp) types over the Kevin James types.

Are you actually trying to argue woman would go for Fat Albert with average to no money over a buff Chad who looks like he can lift with average tl no money?

You aren't going to find a bunch of articles or magazines slapping Kevin James types as the "most sexy man" around. Kevin might not even be obese and most still wouldn't put him on the cover as most sexy or attractive.

No, Im basing reality off reality, where I personally know many women who like dad bods, or are dating fat men, and when its constantly happening around me even amongst the people I dont know. Im fairly skinny, but many of the women Ive dated have said they also are attracted to large men. I know women who actively dislike the muscular, athletic types of dudes. I pointed to popular culture as examples because thats an example of it being perpetuated in media, which was on topic with what was being discussed.

Its really interesting how you started out just concerned about whats real but totally for certain not condoning anything or pushing a view, and now seem to have a vested interest in making sure we all know actually men are just as persecuted as women. While using stupid fucking incel language and misconstruing what I said. Realllllyyy interesting.

It's not incel language just because you don't like hearing it. Also yes, men are attacked for being fat as well. You just have a reading comprehension issue as you seem to have morphed my post to all of sudden mean it's a reverse from my earlier post that addressed why woman get more attention.

You are completely load of shit to claim the Family Guy dude is celebrated as a healthy and athletic man that woman swoon over, or that Kevin James would be labeled "the most sexy man" on most magazines. Your anecdotal experience doesn't change what overall men and woman are usually attracted to, which isn't obese people.

Put 2 guys in a room, one obese, and one fit with everything else about them the same like money and personality...the woman are not going to mostly flock to the fat man. You are full of shit to claim so.
The same applies to men, most men are not going to flock to obese woman.

Biologically speaking most men and woman are going to flock to the healthy looking one, not the obese looking one. That's just simple biology of animals, we animals are more likely to flock to a potential love interest that will better our species which applies to men and woman.

This doesn't mean exceptions don't exist, but exceptions are not the rule.

So quit Twitter and social media?
She flaunts her body like it's supposed to be something to admire, it's not. What does she expect?
Why doesn't she just quit Twitter and go live on that farm with her money and her man? Sounds like a comfy life to me. Much better than reading Twitter idiots all day every day.

This made me think of this South Park clip:
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRoXpDDS/

To put my two cents in, she doesn't need to quit the music industry she can just quit social media. It may just be an out because she doesn't want to create music anymore and has plenty of money especially with the deal with Disney showing up in the Mandalorian.

The worst is when they pretend their bullying and hatred for overweight people is because they care about their health or because it's so rude to drive up costs of health care by being so unhealthy.

It's so obvious, and yes they really hate black women to begin with so adding the weight means more physical black woman to hate I imagine...

While yes its true some hate black woman, it's completely wrong to claim anyone who argues its unhealthy to promote obesity as healthy specifically hates fat people or black woman.

Everything I posted pertains to ALL people who are obese, and that we shouldn't be acting like that's healthy. Regardless if it may hurt ones feelings that's said, promoting such a thing is way more dangerous to these people.

Also for the record, I also said anyone at all who is harassing Lizzo or attempting to mentally abuse her should be condemned.

I don't read a lot of media (or any, really) that goes in depth on Lizzo's health. Where do you find such things?

Most people with critical thinking ability are able to see it's obvious bullshit. Doesn't mean they're racist biggots.

The number of people who feel they need to express an opinion on Lizzo's weight and the media portrayal of it, whilst having no interest in her music, is quite the phenomenon.

Seems like your problem is with this media, wherever it is.

Going to ignore the parts about race because I don't know how the conversation jumps to that point.

Just wanted to say pointing out that obesity isn't a healthy lifestyle doesn't equate to bullying or hatred.

It appears none of the posters in this topic personally went to Lizzo's social media and sent her hate comments. Seems like most of you are just basing this off of: "They said being overweight is unhealthy and shouldn't be strived for! That's bullying "
