Also fucked up is that fat doesn't = bad. I dunno when this came about but you can be unhealthy and skinny as well, and you can be unhealthy and jacked. I won't say that, kind of along the lines of a bodybuilder, it's easy to be healthy and be fat, but you can do it. Sumo wrestlers. You want that subcutaneous fat, and not that visceral fat, and you wanna have good cardio and heart health.
Part of the reason why people become super fat is because they enter a kind of death spiral where they don't believe they'll ever get better, and then they eat more, because what's the point if you'll never get better at all. Part of the reason why they think they'll never get better is because people are constantly telling them that's the case, and that they're at fault for being the way they are, when usually people get really fat through some childhood trauma or mental disorder. I'm not gonna blame someone for that, or demand they "take responsibility" for it. Especially if them "taking responsibility" for it just ends up making them eat more slop.
It's really not that complicated. Positive reinforcement and active help is a lot better in these situations than demanding that people be held accountable for being so fat, or that it's their choice, or whatever. I don't really care to argue the semantics of philosophies of "free will" or whatever, I'm just saying people need to not be dicks to fat people, because that's more productive to making them be healthy.
Hear hear. And it wouldn't matter to me even if being fat were automatically a death sentence and the only reason people got that way was laziness. Even if it were a simple choice that someone made, it's still none of my business, y'know?
It's both none of my business, and being a dick isn't an effective way to get them to change. I dunno why so many people kind of have that as like, a default response. I guess it makes sense to get mad when someone you care about "chooses" to self-destruct, but people are complicated and delicate machines, and they require better maintenance than the nuclear option, and ultimatums.
I think part of why people have this sort of desire for everyone to have agency, they have this narrative, is because it's the only way that they'll be able to keep dealing with all these shitty things in their life. It's like a really bad survival strategy, or something, people become kind of fucked up and then they only function if they have this dire sense of internal pressure at all times, that they're responsible for everything that happens in their life. It's weird, and I don't really get it.
