I started noticing people hating fat people on social media and disguise it as just science.

It’s like they would point at certain person and mock him for his fatness and when someone point out their behavior, they just say something along the lines of he is fat which means he is not going to live for so long if he went on like this, so I am just pointing facts for him

Poeple should show the science of being fat and point out the bad effects of it has on body, but they should not show the science on a living human to mock him, the purpose should be education for the the uneducated not mocking with the shield of science.

I almost had never seen people mocking smokers for example or even people who are addicted to drugs, while it’s normalized to mock fat people, despite the fact that it will make them more vulnerable to weight loss products that is either harmful to the body or scamming them of their money.

    OP is trying to make himself a unique victim

    claiming people don’t slag junkies and smackheads is the wildest claim I’ve read on the internet this week

      Addicts are one of the most marginalized groups in the world. Because their situation is self-inflicted, very few people will offer them a helping hand. It’s the same with the homeless - the prevailing opinion is that they got themselves into it so they should get themselves out.

      I don’t agree with those opinion but it’s crazy to pretend they aren’t made fun of

      I had never mentioned myself in the post.

      I guess we don’t have the same experiences.
