I keep on hearing fat acceptance often. All I know is that it's common among libs.

Idk how to react aside from cringe

I'm old enough to remember when shitting on fat people for literally no reason was not only common but the butt of a bunch of jokes. Reddit even had a community where people took sneak pics of fat people going about their business just to say the most vile things to them for having the audacity to leave their homes.

I feel a lot of the early body positivity/anti-fat shaming movement was a response to this sort of online discourse that helps no one and just spreads hate. Them it evolved into this "I'm fat and healthy" thing we have nowadays, that itself does a lot of harm.
