Fit shaming is becoming more acceptable as the average American gets fatter

TotalTravesty · 2022-07-07T21:26:04+00:00

There really should be some kind of “How Social Media Algorithms Work 101” pop up that appears whenever anyone tries to claim an Alarming New Trend based on their personal social media feeds.

Fit shaming isn’t becoming more accepted. Fit shaming can barely be considered a thing that exists. It’s not a “cultural phenomenon” if you can escape it by just not talking to crazy people.

Lmao. No matter how much they shame you. You'll always be more attractive than those who are fat.

I have normal BMI but these fat rings around my waiste ruin the view. I laugh but it just looks disgusting on me. I need to get fit as well.

the only takeaway here is that apparently a few mean comments on IG by deranged people that don't have a life counts as a news story.

They must really be starving for stuff to fill their slot with. Now the even better question is why you believe that a throwaway newsstory is evidence for some huge cultural shift, especially when all they're basing their story on is a few mean comments.

I disagree, because not enough people are as obsessed about weight/body fat as you

Also, I thought you were leaving?

The haters can hate: We can outrun them. Even in their scooter things.

Have you actually ever seen someone being shamed for being in shape in real life?

CocoBabeNYC · 2022-07-07T22:14:29+00:00

Exercise is inherently fat-phobic.

QuestionableParadigm · 2022-07-07T22:53:12+00:00

I am fit and hang around fit friends and no one I know has ever experienced fit shaming.. you guys are chronically online

RealNiceLady · 2022-07-07T22:26:48+00:00

Fit shaming is not a thing.

John_Oakman · 2022-07-07T21:32:45+00:00

This is a problem that you can [figuratively] run away from: just stop associating with those groups that clearly does not have your interest in mind and find groups that do. It's not like far east Asian societies where social ostracization is literally a fate worse than death due to the utter lack of viable other options/groups.

does anyone here even talk about dating amd fucking anymore

rivetcitymayor · 2022-07-07T21:56:40+00:00

I’ve never been fit shamed but I’ve been fit ridiculed

0-13 · 2022-07-07T21:56:59+00:00

I’m not worried about what a clearly flawed individual has to say about my weight.

Longjumping-Goat-348 · 2022-07-07T22:12:47+00:00

Another way the media and jealous overweight people have been demonizing those who pride themselves in health and fitness is by categorizing them as right wing extremists. I've been seeing a lot more articles as of late linking passions for fitness and health with extremism.

_Excellent_Tree_ · 2022-07-07T22:35:14+00:00

Yeah and men don’t like women that are slim I’ told etc.

NockerJoe · 2022-07-07T23:22:16+00:00

The fitness trend died because we kind of had a pandemic close down gyms for extended periods. Gyms specifically get closed here fairly frequently and I've switched to outdoor cardio since its summer and a new wave is coming here.

When I do go to the gym I'd say its as popular as ever and the thot workouts and workout attire is still reasonably popular. Its just hard to justify a gym membership with how much prices go up and how spotty access can be since even previously 24 hour gyms can now be closed half the day.

Seriously OP did you kinda forget the massive world changing shit thats killed literal millions of people over the last 5ish years.

Devourer_of_felines · 2022-07-07T23:27:47+00:00

Of course it’s accepted.

There’s still this popular halfwit notion on social media that shit behaviour is ok as along as you’re “punching up”

Fit shaming? As an extremely fit aerobic athlete, I hope that becomes a thing. Sounds kinda fun. :)
