You've not seen how anorexic people are treated, have you?

He doesn't though? He doesn't even mention people who judge others for their body shape. He just says that either side of the spectrum are unhealthy and anti-ED activists should promote the middle ground instead of going for the extreme.
We should have a reading comprehension course as a sticky.

Seems like some completely missed the point of my post. I'm not trying to justify [B]anything[/B] about my weight, I'm simply just trying to say that treating me like a different person for being overweight doesn't help us or anyone else at all, which is something I've encountered in real life and in this fucking thread.

It shouldn't be stopping you.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48294898]like models?[/QUOTE]
I don't know about models but normal anorexic people are treated really badly. While being fat is "acceptable", being anorexic is something rare and besides the usual bullying also gets you a lot of stares. Or do you mean just skinny, in which case I will agree with you.

How are we treating you like a different person?
My lack of success with women motivated me to work out and stop being skinny. Stop being fat.

This.
RichyZ, most models aren't anorexic either. Maybe I have good taste, maybe I shut out the skinny, but I don't find dead skinny to be attractive and I don't think the main populace does either. I don't see it often at all. As for women: "curvy" has come to mean fat, but curves [I]are[/I] something people like. Athletic is attractive.

Not necessarily equal, but the "I'm big and you just better get used to it" crowd skinny shames like a motherfucker. I see that shit daily, from women who now have legit health problems because they felt like sitting on their ass and eating all day and refusing to work out.

I think it stems from the way we just ridicule people for having 'weaker' traits. Like how people ridicule Fat People for not having enough self control, people ridicule incredibly thin people for being too fearful of becoming fat.

Gonna say "nah" on that theory. They ridicule them because they're unattractive and mentally unstable.

Exactly on that last bit there, people think they're mentally unstable by being afraid of becoming fat. Besides, mental instability is another weaker trait anyways.

Nah I'm treating you differently because you were posting like an edgy and insecure teen. You still are.

I could see why you would have a problem with people acting edgy, but how does being insecure make you a necessarily bad person?

It makes you an annoying asshole. Go to Tumblr to see how obnoxious extremely insecure people can be.

Thats exactly WHY they're mentally unstable.
What are you trying to say? It seems like you're trying to justify staying out of shape by pointing at others and say "no buh-but them tho!"

I didn't say it makes him a bad person?
I'm saying the response he got to his post was entirely dependent on how he acted coming in here, and with words like "I hate this thread and everybody in it" he already set a hostile tone from the get-go.

You know what, you have a point, and I'm sorry. For some reason I was feeling pissed off about this whole thing even though I totally agree that we shouldn't try to act like being fat should be the new standard as much as I don't like fat-shamming. I really jumped ahead of myself before thinking and I'm sorry for that as well as for that other hasty post. I just thought people made a bigger deal about others being simply insecure than they should be. I'll stop.

What's wrong with not wanting to become fat
Did I miss something? Since when did skinny people become mentally unstable? Like, what? How did someone tie those two traits together?

Nothing, he's just wildly insecure about his weight so he lashes out at other people.

Yup. I was gonna say the same. That actually came out quite well...as opposed to most of the others.

Meh, the proportions are better but we should see better muscle definition on someone who's supposed to be a fighter. Right now there's some visible fat you wouldn't see on an athlete, in particular around the belly which you can see with the way they drew her navel.

I will NEVER accept people being Fat, I don't have Fat people, I hate the lifestyle, I would rather die than accept the lifestyle, heck, I'd rather die than be fat.
Fat is unhealthy, Fat is sick, Fat is the worst.

Why does the fact that YOU would rather be dead than fat mean that you cannot "accept" OTHER people being fat?
Not that I were fat...I'm actually a little skinny.. But seriously, you're being a dick there.
Unless they want to go full wrestling mode in which case a fat overlay would be fine I suppose, but then she's still not muscular enough.

Why would that make him a dick? What's wrong with not accepting gluttony? It's like drug addicts. I know they're addicted and I feel bad for them but I won't accept drug addicts. It's quite repulsive. If you eat so much that you can be considered fat and do fuck all to fix it, there's nothing admirable in that.
Being fat is a fixable problem. If you don't see being fat as a problem then you deserve no sympathy.

[I]Please.[/I]
When I lost weight I was getting all kinds of "stick" comments. at BMI 24. Fat people are often shitty to people who make it, even when they're not full blown FAs.
I got way more shit for losing weight than I did for having that weight.
Obesity is a moderately slow suicide.
