tl;dr There should be a body acceptance movement...for things like disfigurement, amputation, and congenital malformations, which are usually out of the control of people (UNLIKE obesity), though this doesn't mean we should be obligated to have romantic preference for those conditions.

The body acceptance movement should be for the things that we CANNOT change, such as disfigurement, amputation, and congenital malformations.
Obesity is rarely beyond our control. It leads to increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, kidney problems, etc. Not to mention that it is unattractive.
I understand that not all RedPillers would be interested in dating a girl who has a disfigured face or is missing a limb, but at the least, society still has a stigma against these conditions, even beyond romantic preference, that needs to be fixed before any "fat acceptance."
In my case, if my wife or gf got disfigured or lost a part of her body, including her beasts from cancer, from a moral stance, I would hope that I could still be with her. Perhaps not be attracted to her quite the same way as before, but something like that is out of her control. If the same happened to me, I know that I would not want all my close relations to jump ship. In a specific example, I applaud Brad Pitt for staying with Angelina Jolie after her double mastectomy. To me, it shows real maturity and adulthood to accept her for something beyond her control.
Back to the body acceptance movement: OBESITY IS UNACCEPTABLE. It is unhealthy, unattractive, and sets a terrible, terrible precedent for children.
Lessons Basically that the body acceptance movement is focusing on the completely wrong set of concerns. It is rewarding bad, irresponsible behavior in lieu of other, more important forms of body acceptance.
