I think fatphobia vs skinnyphobia (?) Is kind of interesting tho. Because I find people more often to hate on fat (obese+) people (not overweight), but being fat seems in general more accepted to be healthy, and being underweight (anorexia problems etc, not naturally skinny, USUALLY) is seen as something bad and unhealthy. I know everyone loves to say "skinny is the standard, everyone loves skinny people, its generally accepted to be skinny etc etc" but its not accepted lol, and its not the standard and its not the ideal. The ideal is being a healthy weight with curves (hard for most people to achieve btw), not SKINNY.
lmfao not skinnyphobia. if it is so bad, why is that its never brought up in any other convo than when ppl are already discussing fatphobia?
also fatphobia is not only abt whats being viewed as "good", its about how nothing is catered to fat ppl - such as car seats, making their risks of dying in traffic, or the fact that medical issues in fat people is constantly overlooked leading to fat ppl recieving worse health care. its not about some shallow "oh they are prettier" metric, its about the fact that fat ppl die each year because doctors refuse to see them as more than fat ppl.
yeah this. skinnyphobia is not on the same level as fatphobia
