This would encourage me to choose physical fitness, or to laugh as my tired ass goes up the escalator. I certainly see where there is room for hurt feelings (especially with regards to health issues), but this is pretty effective given that it is in a different language and I instantly understood it.
I think it's a good nudge tbh. Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don't have issues with your knees.
I just came back from Japan and 20k steps a day and hundreds of stairs for a month really put me in shape and made me realize how important good shoes are lol
Stairs are proven again and again to be an incredibly healthy workout given that you don’t have issues with your knees.
I think stairs on the way up is good for health and fine for knees, stairs on the way down doesn't do as much for health and hurts my knees if I do too much.
That's why on they way down you grind on the railing with your skateboard.
While I agree if you can take the stairs you should, however it really breeds ridicule if you are overweight and can't do it
I think its a very good point. We should probably figure out how to distinguish representation here between "I'm not taking stair" sort of fat and healthy. Maybe it would make more sense to use a carrot here and instead if skinny stick man have a health symbol like a literal carrot maybe idk
But I do have issues with my knees lol
Godammit you have to make such a good and insightful comment and then use lol as punctuation. Fuck that. You're not laughing out loud, liar.
haters gonna hate lol
I literally lolled at this lol
I chortled.

But then they put a pole in the middle of the escalator access. LOL.
In Korea, the left of the escalator is for walking, the right is for standing.
(They have signs saying "no walking" but that's what the divider is for; to double the capacity)
Yeah, we do that in America sometimes too. Most people ignore it, just like on the highway.
Same in Austria, and I'm pretty sure also in Germany
The pole is to prevent people from taking carts and similar objects up and potentially causing an accident
Though it does have unintended consequences

I was about to say, they put a giant pole in the middle, no one who is fat will enjoy fitting through that and some even fatter people will never fit lmao
I think it is more of presenting a choice.
Do you want to be fit and slim? Take the stairs.
Do you want to be fat? Take the escalator.
Anyone know what the speech bubble says?
it's not any less problematic if that's the case because it still assumes people taking the escalator do it because they want to, rather than having like a limp or something. that sort of normalized stigma isn't good.
Don't normalize stigma, normalize sigma
Obviously I'm obese because I decided to be born with a spinal defect. I should make better choices.
That's the worst excuse for being obese I ever heard. Does a spinal defect prevent you from eating less food?

You should see the names of asian big and tall clothing shops.
Asia doesn't fuck around when it comes to conformity.
Closeup for anyone interested
8 SECONDS FOR EVERY 2 STEPS CLIMBED? Did Korea just discover the secret of immortality and it's to keep climbing stairs?

I like the bollard that would make it uncomfortable for really fat people to get by.
I guess there's an upper limit where they're like, "Hey, this is getting ridiculous. Take the stairs."

I go on the escalator but walk because I'm only half lazy and also want to go fast
