Is it time to encourage obesity?

Noah Boart:
I agree, but what if we aks9 promoted being plus size not with gluttony, but with both an accumulation of body shaping and muscle to help keep fat away from hearts and arteries?

There is technically already a sub-sect of lifters who do this. We turn bad health to a new type of body building

Munchies:
Something to point out here: health is only a subsection of fatphobia. You can be an Olympic-level power lifter, and people will still shit on you about your size.

I love obesity as much as the next feeder, but sadly, it's not so simple to eradicate fatphobia. I don't say this to discourage you. I support anything that seeks to push back against any form of bigotry. I only say this because a narrow focus on the issue will leave you vulnerable to attacks from other angles.

LuvsChub04:
Agree,N on a side note Munchies,i met a power lifter few years ago. Very fit yet people still said she was obese... Yet BMIS are another story..
Fatphobia will always exist, same for skinny shaming as well.. Nothing will ever stop it on either side...

Munchies:
Hell, you can be thin and still deal with fatphobia. I remember my mom fat shaming me as a child because I went from 115 to 120 at 5'7". I was 15. Apparently going from the high end of being underweight to the low end of being normal weight made me fat? Idk

Health is truly only one aspect of fatphobia.


There are many complex issues in this world, fatphobia is not one of them.

There isn't a health aspect to fatphobia. There is only a perception aspect and a historical/social aspect to it really, because it is entierly a result of behaving on unfiltered -and to be frank, of very bad quality- perception, plus the fact that our current society has decided that fat is "bad" and "ugly" (as opossed to what it had decided for fat, 2 centuries ago, for example).

On a side-note, my own mother has called my gym-rat brother (a very muscular person), "obese".

I Am Uo:
Enas, you're not being helpful because you're deliberately sidetracking the conversation. Your fixation on redefining simple words like "best" isn’t making anyone think—it’s just derailing the thread and wasting time. If you want to be constructive, focus on the actual topic instead of playing philosopher in a casual forum. Sometimes pushing people to "think" is just an excuse for trying to win a debate no one asked for. And everyone is tired of you doing this, please just stop.


Here's all the errors that make your arguments fallacious and your assertions false:

Sidetracking implies an attempt to divert attention away from the conversation's important matter, that's your assertion. But what i did was to ask the author of the post to define a word *they used*, and in fact one from which their question heavily depends on. Im basically asking them to elaborate on what the subject of the conversation is. And understanding the topic of a conversation in the first place is *the* most important matter because it is required for any conversation to even take place. So the argument "you're not helpfull because..." is wrong because the assertion you base it on is false; Im not diverting away from important matters, im focusing on them.

The word "best" is ambiguous. That makes it's use complicated. Attempting to ask for the OP to elaborate on it is neither derailing nor a waste of time.

The rest of what you say just show that you are intellectually incompetend.

Also, if i sound frustrated its because i am! Im frustrated by you, trying to police my behavior while simultaniously having no idea what it is that im doing, nor what is and is not useful in the context of a conversation. And generally being incompetent.

Enas:
Define "best".

I Am Uo:
“Best” means someone decided something is better than everything else, It's the word grown ups use when they want you to stop asking questions

Enas:
I was asking OP to define it.

I Am Uo:
It still has the same meaning.... Seriously why ask that?

Enas:
Maybe, im asking that to make him think.

I Am Uo:
.... Dude enough stop trying to turn everything into a debate, or something

I will do whatever i think is constructive to a conversation.

If you think what im doing is not helpful you are free to provide a reason. I wont do what you said without good reason.

Real or fake

Jarl Balgruuf:
What’s the easiest way you guys have been able to weed out the people who come across as real and genuine or fake accounts looking for money?


Be interogative and blunt. If the other person cannot respect your need to make sure they are safe, you shouldn't be around them in any case.

How to date an overweight white american woman ?

Enas:
I think it boils down to two things:

First, make sure she is a competent person. (A heck of a lot of peopel aren't competent at all i think, so thats something to be concerned about.)

Then, just be blunt about it, but at the same time, make sure to not get her uncomfortable. Put the things you wanna communicate to her i a proper order, from first to last.

Munchies:
Just because you are competent does not mean you are compatible.


Right, thats the third thing!
