      Right, the person I responded to misconstrued my comment in the first place. I implied that obesity is not good if you care about your health. I stand by that statement because it is true, and there is an abundance of scientific literature supporting it. If by 'owning myself' you mean that my comment was correct then sure, I definitely owned myself.

          I literally didn't say anything fatphobic and I'm not fatphobic.

            In the US at least, health is conflated with goodness so saying that being fat is unhealthy could be misconstrued as such

            Edit: Also it causing health issues doesn’t even mean it’s inherently unhealthy, just that it’s likely to cause health issues with a lot of people who experience it. But what actually counts as unhealthily fat presumably varies from person to person so just saying it’s unhealthy by itself could be uninformative and outright harmful
