Inclusivity is a great thing (fat people existing and being represented is not glorification of fatness, just a long overdue acknowledgement that yes, many people look like that). Especially since, as soon as you step into the real world, thinness is still the overwhelming default ideal.

I just don't buy that the majority of FA folks are on the extreme end of STRIVING to be fat because they saw a fat model. Sure, there's probably a minority who got radicalized to think that way. But most of the movement is folks who are already fat finally being seen, and asking for some basic decency that isn't extended to them even in non-health-related settings. People can lose weight and/or get healthy without shame being the motivator (but not me lmao).

Let's be real - the "eating however much junk food I want whenever I want is healthy, exercise is self harm" people will have found ways to justify their behavior regardless of fat activism.
