The Trailer for Netflix's "Insatiable" Is Being Criticized for Fat-Shaming Women - It reflects all the stereotypes people already have about fat women.

Eh, I mean, like all things the fat acceptance people go too far and deny science sometimes, but to pretend the issue is all about health care is bs. Alcohol causes more damage than being moderately overweight does, but our society doesn't shame people for drinking in the same way. People who play contact sports are constantly being injured, that care isn't free, yet nobody shames them.

It's about people wanting other people to look attractive to them. The BMI chart is based off attractiveness, it has nothing at all to do with health. So the fat acceptance people do have some valid points. Of course doctors are going to blame the most visible thing for the problems, they're people, they're lazy like everyone else.

From what I've read, being moderately overweight is no less healthy than being at the "proper" weight according to the BMI chart. There are different health issues associated with low body fat than there are with high body fat. Additionally, people's bodies are different, and how fat gets stored and how efficient the process is differs from person to person. I can shed weight quite easily half assing a diet while my SO who sticks completely to it loses very little weight.

All that said, a person's standard of attractiveness is theirs alone to decide. If fat people aren't attractive to you, that's your business.

Fat Acceptance proponents.

It always amuses me when people include things like fatness into the progressive stack, um, bitch you can stop eating fries, but you can't stop being black (for example), why do you want to treat the two things in the same way?

Oh, really?

Then where's all the "healthy at any intoxication" movement, or the people screeching about "alcohol-shaming" whenever someone says "you should drink less alcohol?" It's not a matter of controversy to tell someone that getting drunk every day probably leads to an early death.

Ironically, the continuing obesity epidemic (made worse by fatty activism like this) will result in fatties being considered even less attractive. As thin or even slightly overweight people become more rare, they will be considered even more attractive by the general population. Obesity says nothing good about a person. To be obese in the current year means you are poor (due to living in a food desert, no access to healthy food, having to work so much you have no time to exercise), you have impulse control or some other addiction (you can't stop eating, you snack too much), you're diseased (some diseases make you put on weight), you're lazy (you have time to exercise and/or prepare healthy meals, but you don't bother to), or you come from a bad family who has the aforementioned problems.

Sometimes fatties point to "well 150 years ago being fat was attractive!", but that's because back then, it meant you were a rich bastard who could order other people to work for you and had the money and time to eat as much as you want. And being obese wasn't considered healthy either (outside of some cultures like Polynesians), since gluttony is a sin in most religions (in Judaism and Christianity it's considered the same as alcoholism).

So no, fatties still won't get laid except by people looking for an easy fuck.

Uhh... drinking alcohol is celebrated by our society. Yeah, if you're drinking constantly and being a drunken ass people will say something, but only supreme jackasses bother people for drinking at all. You see people drinking constantly on TV. I've never heard anyone say "When I see people drinking in public it makes me sick".

It's also not controversial to say obesity leads to health risks. If you get that yelled at you by random passers by it's another matter.

But in the second section you're just talking about attractiveness, so you're agreeing with me I guess in the end? If anyone is telling you that you have to have sex with a fat person they're lying to you, you don't have to be attracted to them at all. But don't pretend our standards for attractiveness mean the most healthy people are most attractive. Models with eating disorders are far more likely to drop dead than a 400 pound person who still is physically active (if you're just vegetating on a couch or bed that's a whole other matter).
