What’s even sadder to me than the so-called obesity epidemic and the countless stories of people who have been torn asunder for their size are blogs that turn into fat hate zones. What are you trying to hide, exactly? The most recent debacle is just one of many.
My experience as both a fat and an “average” sized woman shows that hands down, the most fat-loathing individuals are either pretty chunky themselves or used to be. You can’t hate a group of people that much if there’s no fear inside you that you might be one of them.
If you don’t ‘get’ the FA movement or fatspo, that’s okay. You can either go about your life or ask someone. But that does NOT give you license to be hateful and victimize other people, especially via an online platform. If you’re the one who’s ignorant, you have no place to paint an entire group of people as one thing then say that you’re “fighting ignorance”. It doesn’t work that way. Educate yourself first from ALL sides.
Don’t be an ass. If shame were an effective weight loss method, there would be nary a fat person in the Western hemisphere.
