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.

    like its not a literal meaning of fat cells are beautiful but that fat people are beautiful.

    Yeah obviously, for fucks sake. Let's not pretend for a second that all fat people are beautiful, and that fat is the determining factor that makes them beautiful as your sentence suggests.

    Being honest here, obesity has no upsides and instead of seeking to mimic how smoking is treated in popular culture and have people fetishize the act and killing themselves, maybe the thing to do is to discourage both but don't dehumanise people struggling with either.
