#Asmongold
Asmongold, I'm a fat guy. Everything you said regarding being overweight and body positivity is absolutely right. I don't want people to tell me that I'm healthy at any size, they are just as harmful to people as people who bully people for being overweight.
Bullying people is wrong, but when it comes to weight 'killing with kindness' is just as harmful.
I'm on my own journey to try to improve my lifestyle because I don't want to be dead at 50 or sooner, and it's sad to me that there's a lot of people who know they're unhealthy (whether it's food, drugs, booze, etc.) but people around them enable them instead of trying to help them.
you can do it! One step at a time!
Just find what fits you man. We all go through changes. I believe you could change it if you want bad enough.
thing is, if you want someone to change and he is dependant on you, after you try everything good, then you have to try the bad before leaving it to rot
Nice, glad to see you wanting to improve yourself. Wanting to reduce your weight is good if you feel like you aren't healthy the way you are now.
Granted, it's also not good to take it too far and turn oneself into a skeleton. There's a certain level of fat that WONT kill you. Having a potbelly or some flab on your arms and legs isn't going to give you a heart attack.
But these are very minor things, it's when you cross the threshold to obesity when your habits start to kill you. Given your outlook on yourself however, I don't think you're going to go to either extreme but rather find a nice middle ground where you feel the best. I wish you good luck on your journey to a better body.
"f*ck you Kyle!"

How very dare you. Fat people use McDonalds as a last resort. We know the good options.

I love going to McDonalds.. I'm very underweight though, 5'5 and 110 lbs
@@AbyssArray and this is a joke.
I know several very thin people who eat a lot of McDonald's, but they do eat sensibly there when they do. They also do a lot of heavy physical work.

Not really. Why i have to Pay insurance when they just eat suicide. Make them pay more or whatever đ€·đŒââïž
If you choose to eat yourself into suicide why others have to pay for it.
It's insane how many obese people USA has.
1/3 is normal
1/3 is overweight
1/3 is obese.
Most people don't even understand what obese means. Obese doesn't mean oh he has some belly fat. Obese is when you have 30kg more than you should. If you are a normal dude, imagine having 30kg more right now.
How fucking disgusting would you feel.
Oh and that's only where obese starts. Many are super obese, hyper obese. Since there is no category label for people that are 100kg overweight. They are still only obese.
@UC2O4ALRy1GbZgiIlCJfo5mw I feel fucking disgusting every day when I wake up and look in the mirror after a year of being on anti depressants that attributed to me gaining weight after my grandfather died and my fiancĂ©e cheated the same week. I went from 185 lbs to 235. And every day I canât even recognize myself. Itâs fucking disgusting and pathetic, and itâs a never ending battle everyday to force myself back into the gym. I donât know why itâs so hard for me now to go when it wasnât before. But I can tell you it has nothing to do other than me being a lazy pathetic piece of shit. And recognizing that is the ONLY thing that motivates me to go.
@@benjaminghazi787 Hey man sorry to hear about your troubles. What I can share is what worked for me. Start with small, easily attainable goals. You don't have to go back to the gym immediately. You can start by just walking a random street route a couple of times and work from there. Good luck! Things will turn around eventually.

@@johnfisher8401 Maybe because there is a demand for people like that and asmon plays that role on a basic level ?
I was fat growing up, really fat. My inner circle kept telling me I wasn't, and that it wasn't that bad. So had a terrible childhood and teens for no reason. Lose the weight people, it feels better than any body positivity bullshit ever did, in fact I have more resentment towards the people who did that than the bullies, the bullies actually told me the truth.
Guess the toughest moments in our life teach us the most.
Good for you man, hope you're happy, whatever that means :')
not knowing your situation entirely and just going by your story - hey, good on you. proud that you were able to do it. but be open to the idea that the bullying *can* actually be harmful, and not everyone is you. there are other people in these comments, including me, who can attest to the opposite effect

Fatties be mad
In February of 2015 I was just shy of 400lbs. I had weight loss surgery and it saved my life. No one is "healthy at any size", If you find someone that hasn't suffered detrimental effects, it's just that they aren't at that point yet. Some old people live to be over 100, some don't. It's genetics. A fat person that hasn't seen any negative effects might be one of those people that would have lived to be 110 if they were thin. Now they'll die at 75 instead.
People that push the body positive narrative are either fat people in denial or thin people looking for a cause to white knight for to get attention and in either case, they're killing people. My weight loss saved my life and even then I still have health problems that came from being overweight that will never go away. My back and knees will never be good again. Should a fat person be shamed? No, but they should be encouraged to live better. They feel trapped and shame will make their situation worse. No fat people genuinely think it's ok and if they say they do, they're faking it to feel better.
Glad you sorted yourself out.
Good shit dude.
body positivity isnt about not self improvement, its about the inherent oppression and vehement abuse that fat people experience wrt healthcare - a lot of fat people end up dying not because theyre fat but because doctors REFUSE to look PAST someones weight. i'm slightly overweight and have health issues completely unrelated to my weight and yet the first thing doctors will tell me is to lose weight - i'm genetically predisposed to be fat. i can't do much about it. but my other health issues aren't genetic.
Fat Shaming is really gross. We shouldn't be shaming them. We should be encouraging them to get better yes! I'm over weight, and been trying to make myself better, if it weren't for my family and friends and partners, I would be a darker place and way worse. I agree with everything here.
@gillysuit2 Sleep and stress levels and general lifestyle (working 8+h a day and just not having time or energy to either relax or exercise or prepare healthy meals are also massive, massive parts of having difficulty losing weight. People always say "calories in and out, plus a bit of genetics", but it's much more complex than that. It is not "that simple". I'm glad if it is for you, there are plenty of people for whom it is not.
Wasn't expecting to hear Asmon talk about this. I'm overweight 5'10" and 235 pounds. Some of it IS muscle but also a lot of it isn't. I don't think we should treat people like shit for being fat... However. If people are going to try and glorify an unhealthy lifestyle then I think it's only fair for people to criticize it. I'm going to the gym. I've lost some weight. I want to live longer not just for myself but for my family and my future family that I hope to one day have.
I can't even will myself to go to the gym let alone exercise, man
@@2k13Ghost it takes a lot to get ready. Im 22 and truly started about a year ago. Didn't change my calorie intake a whole lot so I only lost a little weight. That's the goal for next year. It's hard though. Midwest boys are raised on pork, potatoes and corn! Lol

@@Logan-ef8hq I feel that, been working hard and avoiding tater's and red meats and it is ROUGH everything smells way better than it is when you can't eat it either. but it's worth it to feel healthier once the weight goes down just a little bit.
Keep it up Logan, most of the things that are worthwile are hard, stand proud, you are doing great.
Main difference between being fat and smoking is that you're not literally endangering the people around you in the moment. That being said i do think healthy lifestyles should be promoted more than unhealthy ones.
What if you're really fat and fall on someone
@@BewitchedMelvy kek
@@BewitchedMelvy two things: 1.came here to say this, saw your comment. 2. Name checks out
As a deathcare worker, I can confirm after you die that an overweight body is much more complicated and hazardous to others vs a normal body. Thats something people don't think about.
Nah but the fats are a drain on health care system which drives up prices. And in countries with socialized medicine, your fellow countrymen have to pay for your obscene medical bills because you decide not to give a shit about your health. And yea, sure, there's genetic issues, but max that should cause you to be maybe between 20-25% body fat if you take care of yourself, not 30+%
I agree, being obese isn't healthy. My weight has fluctuated by so many pounds in my adulthood, I can't even count anymore and I've never been as unhealthy in the last year as I am now. While I'm currently working on improving my health yet again, my weight has zero impact on the rest of population. I'm not in the hospital any more than anyone else, in fact, I'm probably in less. Yet, when a smoker invades my personal space, even my enclosed car, and the smell of that toxic smoke sends me into an allergic fit, their "lifestyle" is being imposed onto me. That's why there's a smoking section, because smoking BOTHERS people. The only people my fatness bothers are assholes, but trust me, it'll never bother you as much as it bothers me.
In the same boat, I believe in us both making a healthy change! Apparently 30mins of walking every day produces better results than an hour, because ppl are more likely to skip/stop if it's a full hour. Maybe that'll help you too, I think it'll help me.
@@johnbd9765 don't be a dick, john. that's an unhealthy lifestyle
2:30 EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS. Holy shit I get so annoyed every time people say âfat acceptance.â No. That is a problem, and we need to embrace healthy lifestyles, especially here in America. With a nation thatâs number one issue is I believe heart disease (or obesity canât remember), itâs so weird that we promote it. I have watched as people I love have gotten heavy and get diagnosed with diabetes. Stop treating it like a âdifferent lifestyleâ or âall shapes are healthyâ because that is factually not even true. I did an entire research report on how terrible being obese is mentally, socially, economically, and of course medically. Treat your bodies with respect and honor them

"know what you dont know"
ive heard this before in the military, pertaining to "walking warrants" or technical warrant officers. their role within the unit, at least at my level, was to know everything that WE knew, and also to know the things THEY didnt know, or how to find them.
our warrant officer was the most knowledgeable person ive ever met, and i only ever had to interact with them two times. theres a lot to be said for people who seek knowledge on things they dont know, so they can both be better educated, AND to educate those around them. education is arguably one of the most valuable things you can have, and its a shame more people cant get beyond the five feet around themselves and have a broader view of both the world and themselves.
Also warrant officers are like unicorns and I only ran into one once lol.
@@basedbarackobama aren't most of the warrants in the army pilots so that's why their so rare?
Once I get my degree going warrant for help pilots is my backup if the chair force or marines dont accept my commission
Iâve been around CWs my whole life. They are SME in their fieldâs and also use group think. The other side of warrant is you are neither a officer or enlisted. You fill both roles for knowledge. I believe they have the hardest career path in the military. That said they also have this mystical way of being the invisible person within the unit unless you need them. Lol
A bald Asmongold would look almost exactly like Kane from Command & Conquer, there is a suprising amount of similarities there.

@@nunyabelsen7653 Thatâs because he is a person who can actually change and adapt his opinion when new facts come to light. People who can never admit that they are wrong will never contradict themselves either.
Just listen to him carefully. Keep your mind open and donât accept everything he says. Then again that goes with everything that everyone says. Lol.
@@nunyabelsen7653 so? Are you any better? You dont even have a voice to criticize and you seem really high roadey, noone likes high roading andies.
If I were Asmon I would speak with a nutritionist once or twice, try to make the best of this opportunity to get healthy.
Or hire a person that can cook for him.
Get a good one though in that case. Many are still stuck in old thinking.
I understand the point with disliking body positivity/normalising being fat, but I feel originally the goal was to make fat people feel less ashamed of themselves, because being free of the paralysing shame helps you do something about it. If you're morbidly obese, and the entire world tells you you're disgusting, it's really difficult to start exercising and make an effort in public. I've only ever been overweight rather than obese, but having been bullied for that in school I can tell you that the shame and self-hate never leaves you.
I know some people are gonna disagree even with saying "It's ok if you don't hate yourself and you're really fat", but hating yourself/feeling like everyone thinks you're disgusting can be both a motivator for changing your life, but also a massive hindrance that stops you from doing anything at all, both at the same time. I think the idea should be "We're all human, it's your choice, but accept that it is not good for you."
Except it does the opposite. "Normalizing" something makes it well, normal. Normal discourages change.
@@johnbd9765 Yep, I've been at a normal weight, even skinny, and it doesn't. It's a lifelong pain and shame and fear, and if you don't deal with it, at most you end up feeling more ok with yourself because now you can hate all the other fat people, something that you no longer are, and feel superior. But that's not genuinely good self-confidence.
I feel like fat people are easy targets because hating on them is so accepted and even expected. You never know someone's story, you don't know what they're deflecting or avoiding by eating too much or by avoiding putting genuine effort into losing weight. Or maybe they did and the weight came back even worse, and they have to start all over again. Long-term weight loss starts from mental health, unless you genuinely, actually feel mentally fine and just eat crap for the sake of it, but that's rare.
BS. The shame motivates you
@@AlanKocisMusic I wish people were that simple to control, but they're really not. If shame encouraged change or motivated you, then there would be no fat people. Even Asmon said it in this vid, people get shamed and called names, they feel so bad that they feel unmotivated and have low self-esteem and don't even TRY to change.
@@StarboyXL9 Maybe it does for some people, but a lot of people it doesn't. What it can also do is make you WISH you were leaner, but also depress you so much that you can't do anything about your life. Mental health is complicated.
I don't think people understand how hard it is to get back to a healthy weight. Less than one percent of obese people ever reach healthy weight again. Saying just eat better is as useful as saying just don't smoke.
This is also true for smoking. Less then 1% permanently quit. And almost all suffer from the addiction their whole lives even if they quit for however long. I believe obsesity is a form of addiction tbh. Your lifestyle is addictive to unhealthy things (food or not being active or a combo of both). Smoking is a drug that has life long addictive qualities. Both are a serious fucking problem that humanity as a whole needs to find a good solution to. Not lip service and dehumanizing, but actual curing. We can cure this in people but we need people to really work on curing it, not shitting on it. We also now have a new addiction to the forefront of these kind of lifestyles. People with lack of empathy and people with compulsive buying and gambling
This is by far the best video Asmon has ever put out. "I live like an animal" I lost it
It may be funny, but its very sad on the other hand. I'd feel better for him if he cared much more about himself. Like getting a new fresh hair cut. Play less, go out more. He would realize that it would be better for him.
@@Coldsilfur4 you'd have better luck juggling chainsaws blindfolded than you would trying to get him to cut what little hair he has left lol

I wanted to cheer when he was talking about acceptable "punching". Holy shit someone needed to say it. IT SHOULDN'T BE OK TO PUNCH IN ANY DIRECTION. Unless its a noble cause. And 99% of it isn't.
Since you touched on the mental health effects of fat shaming/bullying, I felt like I needed to add my two cents in as someone who struggles with both weight and mental health. This will be a little tricky to explain and very rambly.
I totally agree that being overweight isn't something that can be celebrated or normalized, but at the same time, the ideas surrounding that can lead to more subtle bullying, whether intentionally or not. Like someone might not be making fun of me for being fat outright, but the constant stream of being told "You're unhealthy" or "You should change your lifestyle" over and over can be even more damaging to people. That pressure, especially when hidden behind a veil of concern continues to build up over time until the recipient hits their breaking point. For some people it is easier to shrug off the explicit bullying, but the barrage of "concerned comments" from people will destroy them.
Now I'm not saying you should never talk to people about their weight, but I do think it is a good idea to be conscious of who, when, and where you're doing it. This is really only a conversation you should have with close friends and family. Maybe that person is down 60 pounds from their old weight and is starting to struggle. If you don't know them, don't comment on it.
Think about when you're going to talk about it. The easiest example is when the person is eating. Maybe you noticed they have a lot of food on their plate. You don't need to comment right then and there. Set aside some time for later to discuss it. Nobody wants to be called out like that. It is unbelievably frustrating and humiliating. Just save your discussion for later, and they will be both less hurt and probably more receptive to the idea.
Finally, don't EVER EVER EVER do this shit to someone in public. Even if you are genuinely concerned for the other person, humiliating them in front of other people is never going to help your cause.
Some ideas for you guys out there who want to help your fat friends/family:
Don't push the issue too hard. Some people are just not ready. Be supportive of them and understand that this is about them, not you. They need to be the one to ultimately decide that they want to turn their life around. Some people need to ease into a lifestyle change. One of the more helpful things is to offer to start doing exercise with your friend/family member. This is a massive battle, both physically and mentally. A lot of people aren't able to start such a daunting task on their own, and a small setback can easily kill their motivation completely. If you aren't able to exercise together, at least be there to support them the best you can.
While I agree with on the "time, place, occasion" reasoning, "supporting" needs to be expressed very clearly, as in not sounding "You are perfectly healthy as you are" direction. So many people (in my environment) really cant bring themselves to express their concern for someone being fat, they always either brush the topic aside completely or make it seem harmless, but thats wrong.
@@dhorihs-lngn648 Oh of course. When I said "supporting" I meant supporting them in their weight loss journey. Like if they are running into problems and you try to help keep them motivated.
@@Purin1023 yeah, just wanted to clarify. Good that we are on the same page ^^

Dude that Asmongold look from thumbnail suits him so well LOL
The thing about overweight people is that they are overweight because eating food makes them feel good. This is because they have some sort of mental issues like being bullied at a young age for example. The problem is that people, not even the overweight people themselves, realize this. This problem is a subconscious thing. That is why "Just eat healthy" doesn't really work and it's very mentally taxing to to try to lose weight when your brain tells you to eat more unhealthy stuff. The right way to fix obesity is to first come terms with one's mental health issues and improve one's mental health. This way one stops eating to make themselves feel good and that way fix their weight problem.
How do I know that? Because I've gone through this journey.
Exactly. People oversimplify this, and this isn't to say that because the fix isn't simple, being morbidly obese isn't unhealthy. It's the "bro just eat less than you expend 4Head" over and over again who either had an easy time losing weight, or who have never even had to try. Add to that that too little sleep IMMEDIATELY cuts your calorie expenditure by tens of percents, after ONE night, getting worse over longer periods of time, and people are working several jobs, having no time, no energy, no motivation, no hope that they'll ever improve. And then they get called disgusting and lazy on top of that. It's so sort-sighted and simplistic.
As someone who has been dealing with weight going up and down, left and right my whole life; I think it's a difficult topic to grasp for anyone who hasn't ever had to deal with it. There's plenty of reasons beyond just being a glutton that loves food, which keeps people in a mental state of feeling like changing their lifestyle is a monumental task. I am all for body positivity, in the sense that we should accept each other for how we look; fat, skinny, wrinkly, dimply, you name it. But I also would never condone an unhealthy lifestyle, or pretend that it's a good thing, because evidently it is not. I just wouldn't say anything, unless it was someone close to me that I cared for. And even /then/ I'd chose my words carefully, because being a dick about it just doesn't serve a purpose other than demotivating, demoralizing and making someone that probably already struggles with themselves, feel like an even bigger loser. I know I did at least.
I feel like a lot of people out there think fat people walk around in some sort of bubble of ignorance, and just willfully chose to want to be fat, because they just don't want to stop eating all the time. Where as in my experience, not just with myself, but also having been around a lot of overweight people; most, if not all of them are plenty aware and a majority are disgusted with themselves already. Which then brings us to the "why" part. Why do they do it? Why don't they just cut the calories and start running? All valid questions, which essentially is the same question many of them ask themselves too. "Why can't I motivate my fat ass? Why am I such a fucking loser. I'm just a fat lazy slob, I can't do anything." Now, I can't speak for everyone when it comes to the reasoning behind their situation - but for me personally it is very much tied to my emotional state. I've battled with depression and anxiety since my early teens, and I'm 35 now. The only thing that has ever managed to sort of dull it all down, all the anxiety and bouts of heavy depression has literally been the feeling of being 'full' after having eaten. So as you can guess, it just became a way for me to cope with all the emotional mumbojumbo going on up in my head. And yea, I'd notice I'd get fatter, sure. But it was either feeling sad about being fat, or dulling the constant emotional baggage and anxiety. I often chose the latter, and I still do from time to time. It took me years of going on diets and trying to change my lifestyle and failing over and over, to realize my problem wasn't the eating, as much as it was the reason behind it. And that dealing with the mental part first was the key to successfully being able to lose the weight and keep it off.
Tldr; Body positivety is fine. Glorifying and saying obesity is good ISN'T. Don't be a dick.
Also, it can be health-related. MANY people have big stomachs because of stress hormones. Women in particular can also get their hormones out of whack and get weight that they just can't shift no matter how healthy a lifestyle they live.
@@youtubeonly520 I think the only failure here is your continued existence. Gl with the weight.
Not a man but I found myself having gained over 14 pounds during quarantine and itâs disheartening for someone who has been slim their whole life, and initially you are in denial about it. Hope Asmon is able to figure out a healthier routine for himself, because his living conditions canât be helping the problem either mentally or physically.
Those Covid pounds are killer. My girlfriend and I made plans to go to the gym for 2020 to better ourselves and then lock down happened.
@@divinitygaming8673 we did. Helps with cardio and i lost some pounds. Would've still like to go to a gym to have access to more equipment
The body positivity thing is this:
Let's remove guilt and shame to pretend there isn't a problem, and everything is someone else's fault, not mine. But this also makes it impossible to solve the actual problem.
You see this line of thinking everywhere.
Part of it is also trying to remove medical bias. Iâm what would be considered morbidly obese. Iâve also suffered a lot of trauma in my life that has left me with ptsd, depression, and anxiety.
Iâve literally had a psychiatrist look me in the eyes after hearing everything Iâve been through and tell me Iâm depressed because Iâm fat.
That it wasnât because of my family history of mental illness, the child abuse, or the two sexual assaults. Itâs because Iâm fatâŠ
And itâs not just there that Iâve heard that. Itâs just the most ridiculous and damaging moment of it.
â@@Ashtari So am i to take that the reason you are fat is basically 100 % the fault of someone else?
Look, there are many people who have had problems in their life, some solve those problems, others find excuses.
If you came here expecting me to be supportive of you being obese because you have had trouble in the past, i am not the guy.
You are effectively trying to do what i pointed out above, but saying it in a way that if i call you out on it makes it seem like i am the bad person.
No, you have a problem. Fix it. Also i have a hunch that you are purposefully not telling certain details, because that's what people generally do when they try to pull something like this. In the end it doesn't change the fact that it's unhealthy regardless.
You could have the worst childhood ever in the world, it still wouldn't be a justification to indulge into it. And for me to say that it's ok, because you've had trouble in the past. Those things might have had a hand in the situation you are in right now, but in the end they are not a justification.
In the end, i cannot care about you more than you do yourself.
And that's about it.
@@Ashtari not saying your depression is only being caused by you being fat, but if you got into shape Iâm sure youâd be more happier overall in life, and sometimes all you need is to have one good thing going for you in your life to pull you out of depression. Sorry if Iâm coming off as a fat shamer, Iâm a former fat person and was comfortable being big and didnât realize how much of my mental problems stemmed from my weight. Anyways if you have problems getting motivated I can send you the motivational video that changed my life, it could change yours too.
@@alexis1156 Iâm fat because I have a genetic disposition to it. Being overweight runs in both sides of my family.
My mental illness also affects my weight.
Iâve been trying to lose weight all of my life. Dieting has never worked. Even tried the Atkins diet. Iâm currently doing intermittent fasting.
Severe chronic depression is more than just an excuse. Itâs a cancer that infects every aspect of your life from the way you feel pain, to even how you choose something to eat.
If youâve never had depression then I am so very glad for you. I can tell you, some days, it takes everything I have just to get out of bed some days.
And that isnât even going into how anxiety can affect weight. Stress can cause weight gain without ever changing your eating or exercising habits.
Iâm not asking for support. Itâs not something Iâve ever gotten from anyone anyway. Iâm just hoping to educate others that while yes Iâm responsible for what I eat, I also have fix my mental health before I can even try to fix my weight.
Itâs almost impossible to be motivated to eat healthy and exercise when also suffering from a depression so crippling that you canât even hold down a job.
@@Ashtari All right, i suffer no fools. I was purposefully being brash to see your reaction, because what i said is 100 % the truth.
You are not serious about your situation. You are 100 % like the people i pointed out.
You ignore the problem, blame it on things you have no control over, it's muh genetics, or it's other people not me, so you can remove shame and guilt, but you also cannot solve the problem.
As i said before i cannot care about you more than you do yourself. You better think carefully about it.

3:06 noo why thats clipped so short
Smoking is bad for other people as well. Fat people being around me doesnât kill me. Important difference
I can't hear it anymore.
I am fat. I know I'm fat. I know that this is unhealthy, but I still cannot stop eating. It is scientifically proofen that shaming fat people and telling them they are fat all the time is contraproductive. So why the fuck do all these people on the internet feel the need to CONSTANTLY keep saying things every fat person knows? It's not informative, it's just bullying. Nobody is saying this about heroine users or smokers that much.
And shut up about this every size can be healthy. Nobody has ever told me that. EVER. But you know how often people talk about this movement? Where the f is this movement? Just because there are like 2 people telling this story, you guys all have to shit on every other fat person? As if you guys don't have flaws and things you're working on and trying to do better in the future... I'm just so tired of all this
Personally, I was fat and got bullied for it a lot as a kid.
I only got fit out of a misguided vengeful need to impose my will on them and turn the tables. (I got my wish, but never acted on it)
If I can impart any unwanted advice itâs this:
Donât get wrapped up in any of this nonsense online it serves no purpose
If your identity revolves around your size, you have an issue.
Only aim to be better than you were yesterday. Perseverance is the only thing that matters
it's proof of the terminally online mentality. if you go outside, the average overweight person isn't out there literally screaming at people to normalize their condition, they're just living. I'll just quote Chiyori's commentary because it can't be said any better:
"People always cry about normalizing fat people but The U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42%,thats not even overweight people thats just obese people.
It is normal for Americans to be overweight, where are people seeing all this fat normalization? if you're off twitch and twitter the average obese mother in middle america isn't screaming at people to normalize her obesity. Teachers, doctors, friends and family all tell fat people to lose weight
Twitter/tumblr/IG/twitch should have age ranges, it can't be healthy to be past your early 20s and still think of the world through the lens of twitch chatter POGGERS OMG OMEGALUL, seeing how often streamers think any genuine human emotion is cloutchasing its weird to see"
You aren't that overweight. Not to mention you are honestly very beautiful.
The internet brings out the worst in people. The problem comes when obese people go on social media and shame others for not being attracted to overweight people. The skinny people see this and because we as a society, in general, think social media = real life think it's more blown out of proportion than it really is.
as fat person (I started trying change this last month, I started with don't drinking energy drinks ... I drank a lot of them, last week I only had one... before that I had 1 or 2 a day)
and I am totally ok when my friend makes fat jokes, because I love to do jokes about how small he is, calling him hobbit etc.
and we both have good laughs
We are - United States of America, that is - the only country that boasts obesity as body positivity. There is nothing good or positive about being fat. Truth be told, out of the several coworkers I have that got Covid-19, only the fat ones went to the hospital. Not only that, they nearly died. One of them got Covid in late August and still hasn't come back to work due to his time in the hospital and then physical therapy needed because of his lack of physical movement during that time. The one who returned to work ranted how it changed his life and how he'd do better. He didn't. That's the true addiction obese people have to food. It's scary and shameful. These people need help and should not be encouraged to continue to be fat. Just because something so unhealthy is technically legal doesn't make it "OK."
body positivity "should" be for things like amputees. Or burn victims. But it got co-opted by the overweight people. Meh.
I'm pro body positivity but I hate that it has to be always with that context of being overweight.
1:40 They don't until they're skinny LMAO
As someone who is obese losing weight is predominantly a motivational issue. I would much rather see encouraging success stories of people losing weight than the normalization of being obese. While it is okay to want to feel good in your own body, too many people just stop trying to improve themselves and think that the place they are at in life is good enough.
Well, weight loss is one of the hardest things to get into. Nobody can rly blame you for struggling with it or failing at it. I am genetically built rly well, but holy shit its so cancer whenever i try to maintain a workout schedule, i quit 2 weeks in everytime. If i became obese, i could never recover with my lazy personality.
âWarcraft 2 rumoured to be happeningâ
At the moment another world of Warcraft expansion is unlikely so I doubt we will get another movie
Can't wait for them reference about the milk stealing.
If there is a second movie, it will be years from now anyway.
On a serious note the fact this expansion only had 2 patches and the writing has devolved into no effort and the fact that we donât have anyone left to fight means that WoW is likely over
@@oliverwithers9736 wow will never be over because it is more important to some people than real life is.
@@EricDrinksWater That doesn't last forever and a big company like Activision needs a lot of those types of people to get enough profit. If the game becomes unprofitable, it will get axed.
The smoking vs fat thing doesn't work. Smoking was advertised as cool, subversive, tough, etc. People who smoked rarely saw too much shit for it. But me seeing a fat person in a magazine helps me feel a little less shit about how fucking awful most of the world treats fat people. It isn't going to make fat cool, fun, etc, because people out there won't let us forget how much they hate it, find it disgusting, don't want to fuck us, sit by us, talk to us. This isn't all people, but there isn't a single time I go out for a decent amount of time I don't run into SOME bs about my size from somebody.
My choices are take the meds I need and be fat, or die, so I really hate this shit.
Im fat and it absolutely sucks when I get comments calling me chubby all the time, I just try to use it as motivation to get into better shape.
Wow the clickbait!!! i wanted to see asmon shaving his hair! he would look badass tbh
No he wouldnt xD. If he puts on some muscle for sure.
Obesity is more of a symptom of cronic depression than anything else. The mental state inbetween "fine" and "suicidal" often leaves you with little care of your long term health and eating out of stress.
Hard disagree, the obesity comes from being brought up with plenty and not being taught to moderate any of it. People have access to the most food of wider varieties than any other generation before them, and the brain makes some of the worst food taste amazing, because it doesn't know any better and people are now being raised with drinking only soda like its water being considered normal.
I also feel like people make excuses to not cook their own food as well, convenience and working 16 hours a day has gotten to be a weird norm as well that's contributing
I think Asmon somewhat misunderstands what most people mean by healthy at any size. People can look overweight and be heavy with it being natural and healthier for them. Iâve seen more then enough people with muscles on par with bodybuilders that you could never see due to their body shape. Obesity can of course be unhealthy, but running of the BMI definition can be complete bullshit for anyone who isnât a white man under 6â. Itâs just a nuanced topic that is surrounded by wayyyyy too much misunderstanding.
What I don't understand is, if Asmongold is fully aware of his living style, especially with what happened to his mom, why does he still not make adjustment to improve his lifestyle and health condition? Quit the soft drinks and fast food and take care of your hygiene. Those are all good starting point. If he keeps going down this same road, the results are going to be the same.
Well, it's that thing right if someone chooses consciously to make a bad decision it is their prerogative. Just don't pretend it is a good idea or that it is good for them. They will be punished regardless. At the same time, treating them like shit because of it is another bad extreme right?
A bad decision is a [bad] [decision], you shouldn't pretend it is good AND you shouldn't force them to change because it makes you uncomfortable. Being worried for them sure, but using it as an excuse to be an asshole about it calling them names because of it, excluding them because of it, only speaking to them to tell them how bad they are etc, that is just wrong isn't it?
You are so BASED Asmon. Never have a heard a person whose line of thinking matches my own so perfectly.
Please for the love of god tell me you're being ironic?!
I worked as a nurse aide in a skilled nursing facility for 3 years. I saw plenty of overweight 60-70 year olds, their weight lead them there. I never saw ANY overweight 75+ish people. They die before then, and with complications and poor quality of life before it.
The ones who made it to more advanced ages where all similar stories before they came there. It was that they were healthy until literally days ago, when they take a fall and it just sets their health back too much. Or dementia and it took too much for a young adult to care for their parents, when they are trying to work their own job, possibly their own kids and assist their parents. It is never an easy decision and I never judged em.
Anyway, long story short, being fat kills. If you are fat you will probably never see your grandkids graduate high school or something.
My grandmother recently died at 79, almost 80. She was very overweight. Maybe she was the exception but many of the women in her family are overweight and are living good lives 70+ at home.
I'm having Vietnam flashbacks with the Dalaran music man. It was good times back then and I loved being AFK in Dalaran having the music in the background, but now all I can think about is people stealing breastmilk from the Blizzard break room.

Congrats friend
Hey, losing weight or getting jacked alone won't help your mental health. It sucks to hear you're not feeling so good, but good job, man!
Continue with the sigma grindset bro and keep on running.
@@bennymountain1 yeah. Iâm not losing the weight in hopes ill be happy when I do. I just wanna cosplay anime man..
Ty all! This was half joke/half true. But seriously, body and mind go hand in hand. Taking care of both is optimal. Lul
The issue is for every magazine you see with a plus-size model promoting an unhealthy lifestyle, there are orders of magnitude more people engaging in fat-shaming for no constructive purpose, whether it's considered socially acceptable or not. If you think otherwise you're blind as shit.
Yeah all this "nah man you are skinny" talk isn't it. I'm a gym rat, nobody there believes their body looks perfect, it's more about the journey. You walk up to a guy that looks exactly what you want to and he'll tell you he tells you he overshot his last growth cycle and feels too chunky and such. My arms look too big for my own taste.
It's YOUR objectives and yeah, hearing encouragement is cool but the fire comes from within. At least the one that counts.
Personally I'd get you exercising . I have a small frame (1.70m) and everytime I see a stickarms longboi all I think is "get some muscle there you'll look SICK". Even if that's what you are aiming for, with some cardio I bet you can keep your current weight but look much better, essentially a body recomp. That's something BMI won't tell you, if you haven't done exercise in 5+ years you can't compare to some dude that is active and has your same BMI. Not to tell about body shapes and all that. I'm a bit over 25 BMI but it's 12-15% body fat, which does look fit, not shredded but ok.
I used to train for strongman competitions, and was considered "obese" due to the extra weight that I put on for those competitions. Then when I lean down, they're still thinking I'm fat even though I look "big" but its not fat-- its muscle. I will never be "skinny". My ideal weight is around ~250 lbs. when not competing.
Bald asmon looks dope asf with his beard đ
Walter white type beat
Unironically, I think he'd look great bald with a beard
Unless he lived in the 80s or 90s, no one would be interested in him. On the contrary, people would find him pathetic.
But i agree. I think Asmon looks great.
I just don't think that this sort of 'advice', the ridiculing and bullying, is going to help any obese person to be honest. Obesity comes from a lot more than just laziness. It can come from mental illness and a slew of other horrible things. Obese people are often going through a lot and the last thing they need is their extra body mass barring them from making friends and meaningful relationships. Obesity can easily be considered a form of eating disorder, it's not always starving yourself but relying on food for comfort.
Personally, I think people should keep their rudeness to themselves. The only people that should comment on their health is their loved ones and their doctor. Telling someone their ugly and fat, or whatnot, isn't advice. You don't care about them if you're a stranger so you can't expect them to take your words as advice. They're human beings that are just heavier, and their health isn't your problem. If you want to help someone who's suffering with obesity be kind to them, treat them like a bloody human being. When they know you better then you can dictate what they should be eating and doing with their lives.
From someone who is 6 feet tall and used to be 320 lbs. Healthy at any size is copium af. It's unhealthy and there is no way around it.
not promoting fat positivity is wrong. Being ok with who/what you are is ok if you want/are changing. But going around talking about how you should go out of your way to shame them is not ok. For some fat shaming will work for others it will spiral into getting depressed and eating. You're not shaming people who smoke for having a dedicated area for smoking. It just a way to accommodate people who smoke without others having to smell breath it in.
Asmon talking about Reddit mods becoming jaded story makes me thinking of our police force and how they kind of go through the same thing without people understanding why or how they become jaded. My thought process
Edit* wow wrote that before hearing him go on the cop tangent lol

Statistically, shaming obese people or telling them all the time that they're unhealthy does not help. They already know they're unhealty. If you really wanna help invite them to exercise with you or make them healthy food...make it a social thing.
Action of smoking vs "being fat" is different, a more apt comparison is "eating unhealthy" and "smoking" or " getting treatment for being fat" and "getting treatment for smoking". so to compare to "being fat" you need something like "coughing due to smoking" both inconvenience you if you are sitting next to them i guess.

Knowing and doing dont always go hand in hand. Smokers know its bad for them. Gamblers know theyre probably never going to win. And fat people know being fat is unhealthy.

"I don't punch down, I don't punch up. I punch back" That's a quote quality good sir.
The body positivity idea is that people who can't change the way they are wouldnt be looked down upon because of it.
But if you cant change for the better and be healthy and people tell that its ok to not do it - thats lying and harmful. When something is wrong with me - I want people to point it out so i can fix it, I want people to encourage my positive change.

Simple answer for why Blizzard does Warcraft movies and not series like The Witcher: Chinese market. Warcraft movie was insane in China and made so much money. It would not do the same as a series that comes out on Netflix or some other service.
the north hollywood shootout happened because a cop was driving down the street and watched the 2 go in to the bank. saying they don't stop things and only respond is silly
Shame is not a good way to actually get people to lose weight.

Ask her about his hygiene. All jokes a side he has big qualities but also some big turnoffs. But its important that he is self aware about that. His problems are not big and are fixable by little effort on his part. Hire maid and shower 3 times a week and u decent, should not be that hard.

A lot of people stress eat, so ostracizing them for being fat is just going to make the problem worse. I've never heard of stress starving yourself. There are things that could be done societally to help reduce obesity from being so wide-spread, but this ain't it.
