@Tony
Ah, when it comes to extra weight — that is true. Although, I think men have adopted that vision of body positivity too:
— No one loves me because I'm a fat fuck 😩
— So… stop being a fat fuck? 🤔
— Hurr-durr 🤪
Men are just slower at adopting that shit — I'm pretty sure we'd get to blaming others for everything too.
But I mean in general, men-only groups tend to be not much more healthy than women are.
@Tony
We used to have a way more twisted culture of "People think you're fat? Just start making more money so they'd love you even despite being fat and ugly!"
Not much healthier if you ask me.
I think I know what you're getting at though. The original thought behind body positivity was: "You might not like the way you look and that is okay, you still deserve for people to like you, and if you want, you can even change the way you look — this isn't the reason to be give up".
@Tony
At later stages it dropped the latter part of dropping blaming yourself part, encouraging change, and adopting "You don't like the way you look and they don't like it either? Just tell them to go fuck themselves and die!!!" — effectively eliminating the reason to change entirely and just transforming blaming yourself into blaming others…
I don't like this shit either.
@Tony
Well, as it always was — something that started as a tool to loose anxiety that prevents you from not doing the shit you really need to be doing, got picked up by some people as an excuse to… just not do anything and, carrying on with their already unhealthy shit — nothing new here!
@Tony
But I've seen it work too — both boys and girls, just getting out of their pit and getting back on track.
I've even lost a lot of weight myself, although it took much more than that — making cooking fun and such.
That shit works — I think we just don't see many success stories on the InterWebs, when people move on with their lives. Not many like this, most want drama 🤷
