Arguments Against Fat Acceptance (Reposted)

Yo, I'm gonna give some honest criticism here. First of all, I think thicker girls can be sexy, that's not my problem. I've been overweight the majority of my life, at one point I'd even say obese. However, after having lost nearly 100lbs since highschool, I have to say that a lot of my problems came from my own insecurities and lack of self-control. I realized that a lot of people weren't judging me for being overweight; they were judging me for being reclusive and seemingly hostile. Over-eating is self-destructive behavior, and self-destructive behavior pours into other factors of your life, such as your self-esteem and interactions with others. My girlfriend loved my fat ass, but I felt so inadequate compared to her jockish friends. Eventually our relationship failed because I couldn't accept *myself.* Now, I admit that our own media makes the overweight feel marginalized, but by giving special attention and compassion to the overweight, without addressing their lack of nutrition and exercise, we create an even worse standard of mental health than we already have. It's not small-minded to be attracted to a fit body any more than it's small-minded to be heterosexual or gay. My problem with all of these social justice movements is that they nitpick at side-effects of our alienating culture, and thus create more alienation. How about a movement where we get rid of Usury and political corruption? It should be acceptable to tell your friend that you think they eat too much, or smoke too much. If you can't handle your own friends being concerned for you, then you're not really *their* friend. And the fact is, you don't need a movement to make people like you based on some positive stereotype. Your individual personality is what counts. Furthermore, assholes are gonna be assholes - how about a movement where we toughen up, instead of a hugbox that feeds our bad habits and reinforces our ideas? A lot of liberal thinkers seem to use amorphous, pseudo-scientific sociological arguments that are literally meaningless, but "sound" academic. That's another thing all together, though. Whether you're overweight, poor, a minority, or what have you, using other's "privilege" is not an excuse for your own shortcomings. I say this having witnessed a lot of "Fat Acceptance" arguments where personal responsibility is completely avoided to scapegoat thin/fit people. I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to post this, but starvation is a legitimate problem in the world, and I can't watch in idle as people try to justify gluttony. Again, this is coming from a still-overweight guy who recognizes his carbon impact on the rest of the world. That said, stay confident in yourselves. If you have trouble with your body image, change what you can, and be proud of the rest. As for anyone with a strange disease that causes disproportionate amounts of fat build up, you can still do your best to eat healthy and stay strong. Also wtf is this "Girls Only" bullshit. Equality and acceptance my ass, fucking hypocrites. Liberalism, conservatism, affiliation-ism, etc. is a mental disease caught by the plebeian class.
