Why are people so angry at fat acceptance movements on the internet?

ShyBi91:
I've noticed it's gotten worse recently. I've assumed it has something to do with the algorithms but I think that fatphobia has always existed just below the surface. It's people making a final play to hold onto their superiority imo.

Jumhum:
I fear that it's because of American conservatives. Those fuckers wanna ruin everything lol.


I think I mentioned something like that in a way earlier post on this topic. I have noticed that the more conservative sides have a big no no for the FA/BP moments compared with Liberal sides or Moderate ones.

When her belly's so big you can't wrap your hands around it đŸ˜©

Oh yes this is definitely a real turn on for me! I mean hey I like to touch the belly button of a BBW like the next fella who does. But being able to reach around from the behind while almost struggling to reach it is quite hottt.

As well as other things too. But this is the one for my case. Especially speaking from my personal experiences.

Too fat for feeders but too fit for feeders?

Morbidly A Beast:
Also in my experience it seems straight ffa’s are more into already fat guys as opposed to ones who are skinny or want to become fat, i could stand corrected on this but it seems to be the general consensus

Munchies:
There are a good chunk of FFAs who prefer a "blank slate" so to speak. A thin man that they can fatten as much as they'd like. And then there are FFAs like me that don't care about the start weight.

MottiF:
I wish I could meet ffa in person đŸ„ș

Munchies:
Question. Why do you keep necroposting? This is something you've been doing a lot lately. You'll go on these posting binges where you'll reply to really old threads. This one is a year old, but I've seen you go even older.

What's up with that?


It sounds like this fellow must be quite a fan of you! Unless of course he’s trying to outrank you in the top posters. Perhaps a bragging right?

Ditzy:
I think people share too much about themselves and their fetishes online.
Doing videos because they desire attention or validation.
I never felt I needed validation from strangers to do anything in my life.
I think perhaps the BP movement has a subset of people that push too hard to make us all look like weirdos.
Social media is not always a good place to aire your laundry.

Arame:
Now, this I can agree with as well. Everything doesn’t have to be public or mainstream. What you like doing in the bedroom ain’t nobody else’s business except you and the person you’re in bed with. Or communities like this where people can find their other half but that’s it. Stop posting everything on line all the time

Munchies:
Too many people forget that the internet isn't a personal journal with just you and your close, personal friends. Lotta people have had their lives ruined because of stupid stuff they posted online.


Yes this is definitely true as I am a small time content creator. Something that I will have to be careful about with what I post. But I try my best to think that I am far better and smarter than others who have ruined their lives by over sharing stupid stuff.

Some things are meant to be kept private. Especially when it comes to the people in your life.

Did I forget to mention that Big Pun and Heavy D literally died from being obese and yet to this day are praised for their music but again Lizzo was bullied into a weight loss journey? So she was promoting obesity but they weren’t? When they literally died from being obese??? Smh it’s infuriating

JN_TumLover56:
Interesting take on this topic, very valid points. But with Lizzo’s case her reputation has already been skewed by the allegations of her body shaming her own backup dancers, then with the weight loss then people got bad because of the somewhat hypocrisy.

I have also seen a similar story with Adele when she lost the weight even with being a voice towards being a positive influence for being more curvier at the time.

And I can see why because they try to preach about embracing imperfections and saying to not worry about changing to be skinny to met societal standards
 and then when they lose the weight; that’s when people be like “WTF I thought you were confident?”. It seems like it’s a lot more tricky when it comes to balancing being an inspiration to plus size people and not getting carried away from negating your wellbeing. A little something that Olivasworld95 talked about from her weight loss video.

Munchies:
Actually, Lizzo's body shaming pre-dates her getting outed for being gross. There's intersections of marginalizations that make some people's fatness more valid than others.


Hmm
 interesting. đŸ€”

I do support the BP movement and learning how to love yourself no matter how large or small you are.


It’s good to hear that you support it. And thank you.

How do i slow metabolism?

Is there such a thing for eating certain foods that lower metabolism or testosterone? Or is that just plain old weight loss advertising crap?

Do you think sex robots will be a thing in the nearer future?

This is an interesting topic because I have heard about stuff like this where people have gotten married to a “robot” or a human sized doll. Also if I remember correctly didn’t Whitney Cummins made a robotic replica of herself?

Still it’s interesting to see how they would develop down the line. Especially when it’s an option for people who had been struggling with finding a mate for a long time. Also because of the site we’re on
 just imagine what would it be like to create a BBW or BHM sexbot with any features that we like! Then we would have to worry about them changing or losing weight ever again! 😅

All jokes aside, I think that for the long run we humans are social creatures that crave that human connection. I am open for sexbots for some people who need it, and got lots of money
 but there’s also gonna be that crowd who will think that those people are sad or delusional. Of course time and time again people are going to hate what they don’t understand.

Beloved, don't start talking about a video if you didn't finish watching it. That's not fair of you at all.

I watched this video in it's entirety. I'm going to give it a break down for the lazy people I know will not click on the video.

This is a video essay, made by a fat black woman, is not about hating on fat people. She makes it very clear that she doesn't hate how she looks, she thinks you can be beautiful at any size, and that fat people are valid.

The video is ACTUALLY about the dangers of sacrificing your health for money and fame. She even spends an entire chapter talking about how the body positivity movement has been perverted into something else.

She also gives the same energy to the other side of the spectrum. She talks about people who glorify thinness as if it's the pinnacle of beautify and health only to end up knocking on death's door. This video has a lot of nuance to it that you are glossing over.


Thank you for not only responding but also taking the time to watch the full video from the start to the finish, unlike me who failed to do so. Or at best skipped through parts that I didn’t want to listen about. I guess at that moment I wasn’t necessarily mentally prepared for watching it compared to others (like that Jubilee video I was talking about some time ago).

I was sorta thought the video was what that 52 guy was yakking about how she was criticizing “her own kind”; something that I’ve been seeing about recently especially from those who used to be fatter previously.

But now that I read everything you said and broke it down, now I do feel kinda bad that I haven’t given that video a fair chance to watch it. Especially since that a lot of people like to brand so much negativity on their videos. Something that has become a little problematic in today’s media. But I did what I could to say what I wanted to say in the comments as well as supported the other comments that I agreed to
 even those that were trying to defend the BoPo Movement with that bit of nuance. Nothing else that I could do now.

I know we may not always see eye to eye. But this is one of those moments where I actually feel more appreciated from you this time. So thank you Munchies. Heck, maybe you should copy everything you said and put it into Daisha’s video in the comments! I bet some people would feel appreciative for something well thought and written.
