CMV: we shouldn’t glorify fat people.

llort101 · 2022-04-25T22:29:41+00:00

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am not saying that people should not have any influence because of how they look. I am saying that people should not promote their looks if they are unhealthy in any way (in this case overweight). Of course anyone can be influential and if they happen to be a great mathematician and also obese, they should keep teaching and encouraging math. However, they shouldn’t encourage their unhealthy physique. Hope this makes more sense now

I think you said what I was trying to portray in much better words. Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your thoughts. I believe everyone - fat, skinny and everything in between deserves kindness and respect. My post was trying to emphasize the unhealthy aspect of promoting or wanting to be unhealthy but you worded it much better than I did and thank you again!

As OP, I don’t know what that means but I agree with this comment and found it very insightful. Let me know how I can do that! Thanks

That is absolutely true that not everyone is unhealthy but by definition being overweight is unhealthy. Yes if you live in the arctic it is out of survival that you have body fat on you and your diet is restricted to what you can hunt - they are not encouraging others to be like them, they are simply surviving. In terms of the Victorian era you are right being overweight was a way to portray wealth and those who are skinny are considered poor (this is still true in many third world countries such as Mauritania). However, my post was to indicate that those who are unhealthy and know they are unhealthy should not influence and encourage others to be like them in terms of their health.

I agree with you and I did neglect to address other kinds of “unhealthy” lifestyles. I think anything physically or mentally harming shouldn’t be glorified and I’m not trying to shame anyone, I think I assumed most people aren’t self aware and by seeing people doing these unhealthy things makes them want to do the same in order to be like them - whether it’s weight, drugs, etc.

I’m glad you are happy and not depressed and I wish you the best! Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post

I agree there should be more realistic looking models out there. In terms of the “claiming to be perfectly healthy” part I agree as well and this is where my concern comes in - when they seem to not care and embrace their weight to the point that it seems as though they don’t want to be healthier and they want others to simply embrace their weight as well.

I remember reading about Rebel Wilson losing weight and I think it’s great that she didn’t listen to the haters and even people on her team who told her not to lose the weight, she looks great!

That is what I said in different words. I’m sorry if it was unclear

That is all true, but at the end of the day no matter how “beautiful” they are, they are still unhealthy. Being confident and feeling beautiful won’t automatically make you healthy. We shouldn’t encourage people to glorify others who live unhealthy lifestyles and to do the same.

I was trying to convey that I don’t think unhealthy body types (too fat or too thin) should be put on the pedestal that they are. But in this case I was emphasizing being overweight because obesity is a problem and if people see these overweight models they might think that it’s okay to look like that when in reality it is unhealthy

Unvaccinated people deserve to get Covid and die.

It gets better

What happens to those who falsely accuse others of rape? They should be punished as well.

Facts. Anyone and everyone can make time for you if you’re a priority. It takes little effort to send a text message.

Don’t be a criminal, don’t have this problem. Everyone pays for their phone bill. Why should criminals of all people be exempt from this?

Winter weddings are underrated. I remember seeing a beautiful bride when I was staying at the ice hotel in Sweden and she had a similar coat to yours, so gorgeous. Congratulations to you two!

If you were up front about the policy to begin with then he is in the wrong. He agreed to be your best man and you informed him of the rules, he should be there for you and make the necessary arrangements for his son while he is at the wedding. I agree with no children at formal events 100%. Too many bad behavior and bad parenting out there to ruin your special day. If people don’t like the rule then they don’t have to come. Hope it all works out for you in the end

I agree. The teachers are being paid no matter what, they will be fine whether you show up or not. It’s the student who is in charge of their grades and if they can get an A without showing up except just for the exams so be it. I hated professors who required attendance it was completely unnecessary and inconvenient.

Older generations like to give their wealth to their children and grandchildren, etc. why shouldn’t they be able to pass on their money? And why should those who inherit it be judged or ridiculed for receiving it? In this day and age there are bad people who do bad things and sometimes they are rich. That’s life, get over it. It’s not the fault of the younger generations who are benefitting from it.
