I have several issues about body positivity, but the biggest one I have, is that they equate beauty and value. They need to feel beautiful to be valuable or worthy.

Society values beauty as a trait to aspire, but body positivity values beauty in a sick way, their entire movement got reduced to “we are all beautiful, so call ME beautiful”, instead of shifting to a paradigm of beauty is not the end of all.

*Your body is important, valuable and should be respected, even if it’s not beautiful, and you should love and care for it.* That’s what I think body positivity should be focusing on.

But the ego and insecurities of their first fat precursors damaged the entire point of it. They wanted to feel beautiful so bad, they morphed into a group of insecure selfish people looking for attention and praise, without being willing to work for it.

Better than anything I could argue. Thanks Kate.

People on the fat acceptance movement say “They want me to be smaller” suggesting their identity and presence is intrinsically linked to the size of their physical body. 

We want you to live in a smaller body than you are currently in in the hope that you’ll live a longer, happier, healthier life - meaning your PRESENCE is in fact bigger. 

This is not hard to understand. You are not your fat, your fat is taking space from the person you could be.

Fat acceptance is not body positive.

Hypocrisy

Of course they are anti bodyshaming!

Where’s that nice personality to accompany that disgusting body? All lies.

If you think like this, you are ugly on the inside and out.

opinionsyoudontlike:

“Fat is genetic!” 

So is this?

“Food doesn’t correlate to weight!”

That means these two must have similar diets!

“You shouldn’t change your body, it’s healthy at any size!”

Totally empowering, amiright?

Don’t be a hypocrite, get the facts and know your body’s limits!

Oh my God.

I don’t usually post this kind of images, but the juxtaposition of this set is amazing.

HAES people are the first to jump to an anorexic girl’s throat, the same principles apply to both extremes.

Isn’t fat acceptance begging/demanding allies all the time?

So skinny people have to help, but can’t because they can’t understand, but are assholes if they don’t do anything, but full of bullshit if they do… What?

Also, Tess can eat an entire cake, which is inspiring, yet “fat people stuff their faces” is just a stereo type… PICK ONE!

This.

Telling a dangerously overweight person not to lose weight because they’re beautiful, is like telling an alcoholic not to stop drinking because they’re fun.
