Dude give me some warning next time. Ew. I'm sorry..I'm not saying she can't wear a bikini, but if she is going to post pictures of herself in it online for people to see then it opens it up to commentary.
Also once again it shows it's usually the women doing the fat shaming of other women.
Look, it's one thing to insult fat people to their face but a lot of us don't want to look at hanging flesh...it's just not attractive. But more importantly, being fat/obese is unhealthy and if we start praising that lifestyle more people will go down that path than they already do (which is sad). I'm an American and I'm a bit disappointed with the current state of health here. A lot of people don't do any activities and just sit around netflixing or whatnot instead of being active.
Yah, and look, I absolutely DO NOT condone people going on social media and making fun of other people under ANY circumstance. That being said, if you are fat/obese and you post pictures of yourself on social media, you are absolutely opening yourself up to that kind of cruelty.
And again, I don't like the state of health of my country, nor many countries in the world. We as a society have become gluttons for everything; food, entertainment, etc. We forgot what it is to be active, to eat right and in moderation and to practice healthy life choices.
Just like I don't condone making fun of people, I also don't condone praising or reinforcing fat/obese people that feel the need to flaunt their bodies on social media. If your comfortable in your body that's fine; but you shouldn't feel like it's the right way to live. You will feel Much better if you only would practice a healthy diet and exercise. It will increase your metabolism, your energy levels and also self-esteem.
I mean there has to be a middle ground. Don't go out of your way to make someone feel bad about themselves. But if someone is going to...I don't even know, I think you need to be aware of your limitations.
I mean I guess I just wonder..who are you wearing a bikini for? Yourself? Some guy? Just for the hell of it? Or just because you feel you SHOULD be able to wear one?
Went to a local wrestling show the other day. Curtain jerker had a guy with man boobs on his man boobs. And that's what you can make out before he takes his shirt off.
The guy's whole gimmick was based on body shaming, and it was awesome. 🙂
As to the topic, I'm generally against shaming people (Lets call it what it is, being a dick to someone), but I do think not taking care of yourself shows a certain lazyness. Yeah, not everybody sits on their arse and eats donuts, but if you've ever been to a gym many people phone it in.. And I doubt most fatties have glandular problems.
And the whole "shaming skinnies" is just stupid.
Jennifer Lopez has been body shamed in the past. 😑
Freaking JLo, with one of the rockin' celebrity bodies out there!
