They play victims but at the same time they kind of are victims, just not in the way they think.
Do they deserve both revulsion and pity?

>you can do something yourself in order to become not fat
or
>you can blame X or Y, do nothing and stay fat
i wonder what fat activists have chosen, they are only victims of their own stupidity
[spoiler]and i was obese for almost 10 years, doing the same thing that them, blaming genetics like a retard... and then i just eat less shit[/spoiler]

I'm gonna play devil's advocate for half a second.
>you can blame X or Y, do nothing and stay fat
is a learned behavior, and they cannot see past that because they've been taught that that sort of self-victimizing is okay. In that case, are they actually victims?

They were victims.
Much like many paedophiles were victims in their youth.
What matters in the here and now.
If they're dragging others down the path to obesity and "fat acceptance" then they should be culpable for the deaths of those people.
I am fat, I am changing myself one day at a time, it's simple to do, it's simple to learn.
parents cant help it sometimes. my brother turned 17 last to last month, still a slob. he doesn't pay heed to parents at all when they talk about his excessive fat. i used to be thick as fuck as well before i got into HIIT and Calisthenics. i regret that i used to be so fat. it used to affect me athletically

As an ex-fatty:
When I was a kid, I was a lard-ass. That is entirely my parents' fault.
When I became an adult, I was still a fatass. When I wasn't actively losing weight, then that was entirely my fault. I cannot blame my parents for not preparing me properly. In the age of the internet and unlimited knowledge, my fatassery was due entirely to my weak willpower and complacency.
Now, that I'm not a fatass, I still can blame my parents for the opportunities I missed as a fat child, but regardless of who is to blame it doesn't change anything. Now, I lift. Maybe, the next 30 years won't feel like decades of missed opportunities and milestones, but it probably will.
