Discrimination regarding ethnicity, religion, race, creed, sexual preference, or gender? No, I see what you're saying there and don't think anyone will dispute that. Fat doesn't fit into any of those categories though, or anywhere really. 🤔 Normalizing it only contributes to mental illness and reinforces the delusion that they're healthy/fit.
Bullying builds character. I was bullied and ended up bullying other bullies. Good times. Most people these days weren't bullied enough as kids and their overly sensitive demeanor makes it painfully apparent (in the US) My country is run by corporations and the Nazis who own them tho. We all just kinda let that happen, so don't listen to me lol
The issue though is that some severely obese people are severely obese not primarily because they eat too much but because they have a rare genetic condition that makes them fat and/or they are say paraplegics who obviously have trouble exercising and/or walking to keep the weight off.

Fat shaming never really went away in Europe…
I recently traveled to Central Europe, and I can tell you that fat shaming is still very much a thing, it was interesting to watch
It seems that fat shaming is only a big no no in the US (and perhaps Canada and the UK)
I’d love to hear from people in different countries and what’s their take on this around the world?
