cw for weight/body image, of course

Usually discussions about this get overrun by chuds so I think it'd be nice to hear what people here have to say.

Personally I think it's some good and positive ideas but they're mixed in with potentially harmful medical misinformation.

    Moreover, I am confused as to why fat acceptance activists would think that fatphobia is something that employers or No

    IMO employers should definitely not discriminate over physical and medical condition unless the job has a medical/physical requirement by itself e.g a blind pilot, a firefighter that can't run or lift weights etc. If the job is sitting in a goddamn office then any sort of discrimination is just bullshit. A fat person may require a bigger chair? Deal with it I am sure the CEO could buy the entire Amazon stock of office chairs if he needs to. It is not as if most those """jobs""" are even productive or necessary to begin with...

        And that is only due to the artificial scarcity of jobs. I straight up disagree, employers absolutely should be expected to overcome their biases. Fuck all can be done about personal biases in romantic relationships, but employment is not a personal thing.
