I keep on hearing fat acceptance often. All I know is that it's common among libs.

Idk how to react aside from cringe

There's being an asshole and bullying and shaming people for sadistic pleasure or out of some fascist idea of them being inferior and then there's not upholding any standards or aspirations of human health and instantly incinerating anyone who suggests people should be healthy, shouldn't eat half a package of oreos every night, should exercise, that most people with a good diet and exercise that results in a healthy BMI will have a happier life, a higher quality of life, a longer life, etc. There are some amount of people obviously who have some conditions that make this more of a challenge. But encouraging that aforementioned healthy lifestyle while offering some understanding (but not justification) for stressors under capitalism leading to unhealthy bodies, weights, habits, etc is the right course of action.

A comradely hand up and encouragement not a derisive laugh and a shove to the ground basically is my feelings on it.
