    Hey, reddit went through a fatphobia phase like 10 years ago. I think we can be better than that

        In that what this meme is? Or is it just being an asshole behind the thin veneer of “It’s ok to be an asshole as long as the people deserve it by being unhealthy”?

          No it’s definitely trying to say that we shouldn’t pay unhealthy people for their opinions on health

              unworthy to be taken seriously in healthcare because they’re fat

              It’s not hard to understand lol

                Oh, that specific circumstance makes your behavior and body shaming ok and not asshole behavior at all. Thanks for clearing that up. You can make fun of these people as much as you want and everybody should praise you for doing so. You did a good thing today.

      You’re right, we can! Yet still the majority of people are overweight, so we’re clearly not fixing the issue.

      We don’t want to end up like reddit where we sit back and say ‘this is okay’ to every problem in the world.
