Seriously. Just don't fat-shame.
There's no point to it. It doesn't make people magically thinner. Being magically thinner wouldn't make people magically healthier. It doesn't make you superior. It doesn't do anything positive.
All it does it promote bigotry. It makes people hate themselves. It reveals that you are an ugly and small-minded individual full of prejudice.
It's worse for fat people than actually being fat. It's degrading to mental health. It promotes stereotypes. Stereotypes have real implications.
It leads to fat people being hired less. It leads to fat people hearing rude comments shouted at them from cars. It makes people feel awful.
It hides behind some veil of "helping." People who fat-shame get away with it because they think they're encouraging fat people to de-fat themselves. And apparently de-fatting is the be all and end all of...something.
But it just causes pain. It leads to depression and isolation and prejudice. It causes nothing good and everything bad.
So just don't do it.
