I'm not seeing the skinny epidemic in real life

I'm not seeing the skinny epidemic in real life I need everyone that thinks that there's a skinny epidemic going on to go outside People are still ginormous I really do think it's social media and like Hollywood that's making it feel like everyone is a speck of dust But they are not people are ginormous Go to Walmart Do a little lap around Walmart like you're doing a lap at the bar I promise you you will realize like people are still ginormous So Hey I'm not coming at you I'm just offering a nuanced take based on what you just said the people who you're talking to they know that we're not gonna go outside and everyone's gonna be a stick we also know that a lot of you exaggerate when it comes to everyone being ginormous they're people people with different bodies fit skinny big obese short tall whatever do we have an obesity issue absolutely I won't deny that but do we have an epidemic of a lot of people believing that they will only have status if they are as skinny as possible also yes and you're right it is a lot of the celebrities a lot of the people who influence other people and then we also have the influencers who come on here and tell women not to strength train otherwise they'll get bulky and look like a man they say that nothing's better than being thin nothing's better than being skinny and while this might not be the same thing as skinny culture we have actual male fitness influencers telling other men that there's really no point in working out if you're not gonna jump on steroids what's the point if you're not tanned jacked and lean not strong not confident not healthy you actually have fitness and wellness advocates health professionals telling people that it's safe to have around 800 calories a day and if that wasn't bad enough I have never seen the body and fat shaming as bad as it is now you and I both know that you don't have to be morbidly obese to get a ton of shit in the comments for just existing they could be working out and they are getting torn apart why because they don't look the part you are going to turn metabolically healthy people into unhealthy people trying to achieve the status that you say is not real as someone who dealt with multiple eating disorders for over 10 years and chased status over health I couldn't imagine social media being what it is now when I went through that thank god I fixed myself beforehand I wouldn't be able to show myself you have people not eating calling it discipline you have people not strength training because they want to be skinny I don't want my daughter growing up in a world where she is purely judged on her body isn't fit versus fat this isn't body positivity versus not this is the real fucking world I'm talking about and people are going to get hurt if your first thought is people are gonna get hurt with obesity fucking we can talk about two things at the same time stop thinking it's this versus that I know what's happening because I've lived through it and it's a hell that no one should go through for the love of god can you guys stop going to places like Walmart amusement parks whipping out your phone and just taping people and thinking that you're in the right or just saying look at this population they're huge what are you doing they're they're mothers their fathers their sons their daughters same thing goes with skinny shaming I don't pick one or the other they're both fucking stupid but for you to ignore what's happening tells me that you're just being willfully ignorant and if we're not aware of the problem then the problem is going to get worse we need to promote being strong not being frail not being weak we can't be telling everyone that fucking food is poison when it's not that so many of you think that I pander and I lie and I try to enable people fuck off the reason why this is so dangerous is because the skinny culture is promoted as health and people who speak out against it get the same label as I get but if you're the fitness and health professional that you say that you are then you should be on my fucking side
