How to deal with negativity
Sweetannaxxl:
Took a small break from doing anything, and visiting the site due to some criticism from outside sources. It really took a toll on me and made me feel negatively about myself. I have gained a substantial amount of weight in a relatively small timeframe and must have come as a shock to my peers, which prompted some discomfort in conversation. My question i guess is how do I deal with this? I have no genuine interest in losing the weight, I know it won’t make me happy, but being ridiculed for my size is ridiculous. Does anyone have any good tips for shrugging it off?

So, I want to add a little bit of nuance to this conversation.
If you are getting very fat very quickly, it's normal to be concerned. Sudden rapid weight gain is usually not a good sign of things. Usually, people think severe depression or illness. It may be good to reassess how fast you're gaining as rapid gains are not sustainable and can lead to later weight loss.
No amount of concern excuses any kind of body shaming or bullying. Since these are your friends, be honest with them. Tell them how you feel about what they are saying and doing. If they are really your friends, they will respect this. If not, then these are not people you need in your life.

I have made a suggestion to the site owner that kind of includes that (altho not for its own sake)
Munchie's take is not sufficient. Everyone else's takes are not even serious.
Neoliberal individualism leads in a toxic atomization where its not appropriate to care for other people's businesses.
Also, very few people are actually capable of that in the first place. Most are acting in a reactionary manner.

So neoliberalism leads to sweetannaxxl (sorry for butchering your name) being bullied for a change in weight and appearance or neoliberalism leads to atomization that sweet (for short!) will feel for? It’s just an incomplete sentence? What you’re saying might be true but how does that relate to what sweet is communicating?

I mentioned the atomization because it is one very flawed way to think, and what WeirdoOnArt wrote kind of illustrates an example of it.
Not being interested in other people's sizes, that is. Its one among many things that together make a person. If you dont care about that too, you dont care about the person fully. Which is not really a bad thing, in my view.
The bad criticisms the OP mentioned is not an example of caring, but an example of reacting.
