[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at these blogs and the women are inspiring and show that it is possible to live healthy fulfilling lives in a large body. They are athletic, full of energy, and motivate women of all shapes and sizes to be their best selves. These particular women are awesome ambassadors for self-acceptance. This does not mean that every obese woman is as admirable, intelligent, or athletic as they are. First of all, I know women and men (I don’t think women alone should wear the fat label) who are much more obese than these bloggers. They cannot do yoga or dance like these active folks. They lead what I would describe as hedonistic lives. They are not ambassadors for a better society like these people. They drink a lot of sugary alcoholic beverages, eat inside bars and restaurants during a pandemic, go on cruises during a pandemic (didn’t care ship wasn’t able to stop at any ports because they could drink on the ship), don’t wear masks, and seemingly do nothing but gamble and party. They do not associate with normal weight people at all.

While I admire these bloggers and see the importance of their stories, not all obese people are so inspiring. Some of them are really just hedonistic users of resources and don’t contribute to society. They pose in photos with their fancy cocktails at fancy restaurants, celebrate every little thing with lots of food and beer and even go to concerts indoors during a pandemic. They are proud of their lifestyle and their tight clique of 10 morbidly obese couples. They are not healthy or active like these bloggers. They are simply fat and proud.

Um, you know skinny people go out to eat, drink, and go on cruises too right? There are anti-maskers of all sizes. None of the stuff you mentioned is exclusive to fat people.

Not all people are inspiring. Nobody has to be your inspiration porn to deserve respect![/quote]
