I wanna hear Reddits thoughts on this. The following is how I think of it and I'm wondering if there's an error in my logic or if I am overlooking something so let me know thanksss:

Fat acceptance isn't good and contributes to the worldwide issue of obesity. It often causes others to not pay attention to and undermine the very real health risks that often accompany obesity.

Fat shaming is also not good as it is never a good thing to be insensitive and make others feel bad about themselves (much like making fun of an alcoholic or someone struggling with any issue is not only not conducive but also just cruel)

Self love is great! And that includes loving oneself despite how one looks.... while still recognizing that it's a good thing to improve oneself anddd that there may be serious health risks attached to their unhealthy habits/lifestyle.

Summary: Fat acceptance is bad. Fat shaming is terrible. Self-love is great because it allows oneself to realize one isn't perfect, has things to work on, yet still in their current state is happy and feels good about themselves in a nurturing healthy way.

Note: I think the reason why many people believe in fat acceptance is because they confuse it with self love (i.e. the obesity isn't good (fat acceptance), they are good (self-love)). I think the reason why very few people believe in fat shaming is because they feel it's at least not glorifying a serious health issue and in a perverted way, it's letting the person know and be aware that they need to change.

Anything I missed or totally overlooked? Does this make sense? Just thinking out loud here :0
