      Ok but hear me out - since when is obesity desirable? I’m all for body shaming of people decide to reduce their weight as a result.

        Well I agree with around half of what you’ve just said. Being obese isn’t healthy and everyone who is obese should know that. When people use body positivity to justify the fact that they don’t care about their health they are obviously wrong. What body positivity is about is that people have the right to make decisions over their own bodies and other people should respect that and be emphatetic. Bullying people isn’t being empathetic. I, who normally doesn’t like to use the body shaming arguement felt compelled to write my comment, because I felt that where this post came from also lacked said empathy.
