shitthinpeoplesay: runninglurking: thisisthinprivilege: midwestmondays: shitthinpeoplesay: Have you considered that you are an ignorant fucking jackass, that other people’s health is their business and not yours, and that actually, no, fat is not automatically unhealthy? FUCK OFF, SHIT HEAD. Okay but depending on how you define it, fat could automatically mean unhealthy. Are you saying that fat means they have a “bigger appearance”, in which case your statement would be correct? Or fat as in they are actually overweight, which is bad for you and can lead to many health problems? Shorter thin person: No, really, fat MUST BE UNHEALTHY ALWAYS. BECAUSE I SAY SO. No, you fucking shithead, it is not. Go do some reading on “health at every size,” there’s a huge amount of hard science on this, you ignorant, condescending asshole. Also, no one else’s health is any of your fucking business. You’re wrong. Just sit there in your wrongness, and be wrong. Have you considered actually reading officialsenatorrandpaul ‘s post? Weight extremes, high and low, are unhealthy. Human organs cannot function correctly under extreme amounts of fat, and human organs cannot function with an extreme lack of fat. Denying this is denying human biology. And helping people who are unhealthy, whether they’re far too heavy or far too thin should be something important for anyone who cares about their well-being. Have you considered actually reading anything about health at every size, as I mentioned? GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU IGNORANT SHIT. Learn to control yourself and speak respectfully, you sound 13. Which you probably are, since you know nothing about homeostasis in the human body. Now, tell me that a 1,100 pound man who has not left his bed for over 3 years, is suffering from bedsores, diabetes and heart disease is healthy. He can’t use the bathroom himself, he can’t feed himself, he can’t dress himself. He could die any day from heart failure. Tell me how healthy he is and what a great life he has. Now picture a woman, 64 inches tall and 80 pounds. Her hair is falling out, she can’t walk up 5 stairs without nearly fainting, and her heart rate has fallen to the point where any day she may never wake up from sleep. Tell me she’s healthy. Oh wait, they’re not. Weight is an indicator of health, and while overweight and underweight people can be healthy, morbidly obese and anorexic people are not. Go to school, take an online health class meant for your 7th grade brain, and learn.

So, the first thing you’re trying here is called the tone argument, and it is not a valid argument. The fact that I cuss does not invalidate anything else I fucking say, but pretending that it does makes you look pretty nasty. It’s a common tactic for privileged shits like you when talking to less privileged people who dare to stand up for ourselves, and they complain about our tone no matter how fucking nice we are, so no, I won’t change how I speak just because it offends you. I want to offend you. You are being offensive.

Your hypothetical straw people here prove absolutely fucking nothing. It is perfectly possible to be either very underweight or very overweight (“morbidly obese,” by the way, is an outdated medical term, and insulting as fuck) and still be healthy. I’m “morbidly obese,” not even pre-diabetic, have slightly low blood pressure, and my doctor is mostly concerned about my asthma — something that my weight does not affect in slightest, although ignorant, bigoted fucks like you have a tendency to think it does.

If someone IS unhealthy and fat or thin, then their weight may not have any relationship to their health, or may be the cause of their weight. But no, you want to ignore actual fucking facts so you can prop up your argument with totally nonexistent straw people, because what you think is clearly more fucking important than the lived reality of fat people, or the scientific evidence.

No, I am not going to go dig any up for you. There’s a ton out there if you fucking bother to look. This Is Thin Privileged has linked to many many studies in the past, or you can, as I already fucking said, go google “healthy at every size”.

I sound young and uneducated? Shithead, I am 36 years old, and I have put three years into reading up on this shit. Not to mention the fact that you cannot possibly know more about my body than I do, no matter what you might like to think, from your superior vantage point of pure, unadulterated ignorance.

FUCK OFF, AND GO EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE SPEWING PURE BULLSHIT.
