Why do "body positive" groups only focus on fat people? There are plenty of other physical traits that are "discriminated" against, like anorexics or short/bald guys?

I mean, if you can be healthy and beautiful at every size surely that swings the other way and applies to this woman.

because fat-shaming makes fat people anorexic

sometimes

(it's better to be anorexic than obese though)

cause there are a lot more land whales than anorexic people.

Because fat people have the largest stigma against them in society, and as a result they're the most self-conscious about it.

Because of their being too lazy to take control of their lives, they need to band together and be told that it's okay. While there is definitely a stigma against skinny people or bald people, the stigma isn't as strong as it is against fat people, and they're not nearly as numerous or self-conscious about it.

I think that "fat shaming" is concentrated on because it's the most prevalent form of abuse related to body image. It's also one that is nearly wholly controllable, unlike height or balding. Not so good if you ask me.

It's because for every 1 anorexic person, there's 100, or maybe 1000 fat fucks. The numbers let them group up and start a bullshit movement

Nobody calls skinny people out for being skinny
Like, it's more socially acceptable to be underweight than overweight
People will laugh at assholes who eat way too much on TV, but everyone considers being underweight too tragic to develop reality TV off of

It's like getting upset at the existence of dumb brunette jokes
Nobody tells dumb brunette jokes, so it's not as much of a problem as people telling dumb blonde jokes
Nobody is saying you can't get upset at dumb brunette jokes, but dumb brunette jokes aren't a mainstream thing that everybody recognizes

No one is talking about "skinny people".

I'm talking about malnourished, anorexic, starving-child-in-africa-mode people.

It's called

>The prominence of the female voice

Women's complaints, desires, wishes always get heard first and they're the loudest, they're the first to be responded to. This is why despite everyone who's spend 30 minutes researching online or even simply thinking about the "wage gap" knows it's complete bullshit, while the national governments, UN, IMF, etc all take it seriously.

Basically ALL 'body positivity' is focused on females, and being fat is something that lazy females tend towards. There's also a selectivity to this - the type of women who become fat tend often have "female chauvinist" traits, they're intellectually lazy but belief and insist on their own value - whiteknighting, desperate beta males feed their personalities, and because most other women don't exactly do much thinking for themselves and tend to want to buy into feminism and "anything women do or say is good", these women get support and get heard.

Just ignore them and let them spread their cancer to the ones who want to believe it. If a fat woman wants to be sassy and full of herself, why does that hurt you? It's repulsive and wrong, but she's probably only going to hurt herself and people who are foolish enough to go along with her.

Not related to this thread at all, go to /lgbt/.

Ease.
It's easier to be fat and out of shape. You have to work to be thinner. Thus, it's "OK" to be fat.

The tiers of social stigma are:
Overweight woman > underweight man > underweight woman > overweight man
