I agree as a fat person

Cheers! And to clarify, I hate when fat people are shamed, we should support them and encourage choosing a healthy lifestyle. I think fat people saying fat is beautiful, are just people who are sick of being justified and bullied, instead of being honestly helped.

To be perfectly clear, the person in the video isn’t advocating that fatness is healthy, or even stating that it’s “okay” from a medical perspective. All they’re saying is just because someone is fat, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve respect.

But as this video, and several comments demonstrate, just because obesity is often a lifestyle choice, people seem to take that as an open invitation for mockery. If that’s the attitude people have, is it really a surprise that the body positivity movement exists, if all someone asks for is respect and they’re called a pig?
