cw for weight/body image, of course
Usually discussions about this get overrun by chuds so I think it’d be nice to hear what people here have to say.
Personally I think it’s some good and positive ideas but they’re mixed in with potentially harmful medical misinformation.
I’m sorry but that kinda reads like a backhanded compliment, at least when I encounter it in the wild. The “Oh people don’t have to be beautiful to be good” stuff, fat people are fucking beautiful and deserve to feel that way, swerving into “why do we even care about beauty in the first place” whenever this is brought up unintentionally just reads as “fat people aren’t beautiful but its mean to say that so lets just ignore the whole thing”.
Fat people can be beautiful, sure, but fat itself doesn’t make them beautiful. In any case, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we’d do better not to police a subjective idea.
I assure you that I am not.
