The fat acceptance movement is stupid.

The idea that obesity and rampantly unhealthy lifestyles should be accepted and normalized is absurd. The fat acceptance movement is full of people with victim mentalities who would rather pretend that they are unable to improve their health through diet and exercise than admit that they do not want to put forth the effort it takes to treat their bodies with respect, much like the pro-ed movement.

FA activists destroyed the original definitions of HAES and body positivity by warping them to fit their agenda. “Healthy At Every Size” is completely inaccurate. Body positivity now appears to apply only to people who are “oppressed,” not to the “privileged” ones that happen to appear thin and have healthy BMIs and active lifestyles. Not to mention the fact that scientific evidence and medical professionals are portrayed in such a negative manner simply for hurting FA feelings. The #effyourhealthstandards tags on social media pretty much sum that up.

I refuse to accept a movement that promotes rampant unhealthiness under the guise of “Love yourself!” Working to stay healthy is loving your body. Years from now, FA supporters will be dealing with the consequences of their bunk social crusade and wishing they had done more to maintain and preserve the only body they’ll ever have.

Thanks for the message! :)
