Isn't it interesting how quickly these movements change from "acceptance" to "promotion/glorification." It wasn't many years ago that kids were being taught not to be cruel to fatties, while also acknowledging that being fat is unhealthy and you'll be much happier if you lose weight. Now we've gone from "don't be cruel" to "if you look like this hippopotomus, then you're great just the way you are and you should never change." No woman truly wants to look like this monster, but this is just one more disincentive for fat chicks to lose weight and improve their lives. It turns out that brutal fat shaming, while cruel, is actually in everyone's best interest, and our evil great grandparents knew exactly what they were doing when they damaged their daughter's self-esteem by reminding her she was fat. They fat shamed out of love because they wanted what was best for her, and fat shaming works. It's the reason that you don't see any size 22 behomeths walking around Tokyo or Seoul - it's because they haven't abandoned the wisdom accumulated over generations, that sometimes kindness requires cruelty.
