Imagine being this pressed over someone else losing weight 🙄. Hope you enjoy! And please check to see if you're still subscribed because CZcams keeps unsubscribing people which is getting on my nerves.
Imagine caring so much over representation in a CARTOON! 😂
You should pin this comment so more people see it
Oh man, just checked and CZcams totally unsubscribed me.
@@Rhobae right a kids cartoon should not have this much hold over your emotions. I love SU as a child and even more as an adult but I have never sat here having the characters and scenarios live in my head and hold reign over my emotions.
not only are they unsubbing people but they turned off my dang notifications 😮
Fighting fatphobia by talking about ethnic minorities like they're a different species of human is a very strange method.
A very racist method
THANK YOU. As a skinny POC, I can confirm that we are not a different species. I eat healthy and eat moderate portions, therefore I’m a healthy size. Thermodynamics do not stop working for us POC, we’re humans too:) it’s quite degrading honestly. But she sees herself as this “white saviour” as a previous commenter mentioned.
@I am me yooooo I didn't know, thank you. Gotta give a heads-up to my skinny friends, most of them barely do any weight exercises
@I am me thank you so much! I really had no clue. How does that work if you don’t mind me asking? I have little chicken arms as I call them, and I’m always scared to lift weights because I don’t want them to gain too much muscle because personally I don’t like the extremely muscular look for me. But thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely do some research on that. I’ve struggled with anorexia in my past so my bones are probably a little more brittle than most peoples, thanks a lot:)
@I am me I had no clue.... I should start to do more exercises 💀
As a black girl i find it extremely offensive when people expect black people to be fat. Skinny shaming is a problem in our community. We come in all sizes and I work hard to stay a size 8(UK size)
as a black dude I too find it offensive.
I don't know how this idea came to be. Looking at different African countries, there seem to be a lot of groups where it's even more common to be tall and lean for both men and women.

Michelle McDaniel talks about this topic a lot. She’s one of my favourite CZcamsrs because she keeps it real and seems like a genuinely beautiful person inside and out.
Black woman here. Obesity is prevalent in our communities due to food deserts and how normalized over-sugaring and over-feeding ourselves has become.
Part of it is political, sure, (food deserts), but a larger part of it is strictly because our communities have said it’s okay. We are not “naturally fatter”- Our communities have a lack of nutrition education, and it HAS to change if we want to stop dying of high blood pressure by age 50.
I don’t like that she’s making it seem like obesity is natural for Black folk (or for anyone). Normalizing it IS the problem.
Exactly! The "fatphobia is rooted in anti-Black racism" party line rubs me the wrong way because of that.
Exactly
They don't have lack of nutrition education. Libraries, the back of food labels. Most schools in the US have a cooking course or nutrition course (varies from each state and federal funding). It's about educating yourself, but I understand how the "lack of education" could come from not caring about what goes into your body, and the normalization of unhealthy beauty standards such as fat ass little waist, or being "thick" in general.
Black woman here! Honestly I don't know much about black people in the USA. I was born in Senegal (West Africa). I swear I have seem very few people being "fat". So this whole idea of black people "naturally" being fat is ridiculous. Now I have lived both in Italy and France, still most african people I know are slim, someone is on the chubby side, but very few are obese. This whole rhetoric about fatphobia and blackness is insane. People in the USA are fat because their food is basically garbage (junk food, food chains, high level of sugar).
I fuuuuuuccckkkking hate when they bring us into conversations about obesity. It is LITERALLY killing us. If you want to stay fat, do that but don’t make it seem like you’re taking this radical stance against medical racism while doing it because you’re doing far more harm than good to our communities.
Pooh isn't a body positive icon. Part of the joke is he's fat and can't stop eating honey to the point that it puts him in harmful situations.
Right? It's to teach children that there's consequences to being lead by their impulses.
Pooh has a sugar addiction, which is spurring the obesity epidemic in real life. I wouldn't count that as a joke.
Exactly! It’s amazing how they ignore this obvious predicament he’s always in

Genetics may load the gun but diet and lifestyle habits pull the trigger.
what a perfect way to put this
👏👏👏👏
yeah like genetics don't make you eat 6 thousand calories a day 🙄
It's like a lot of other conditions, physical and mental. Genetics more often than not gives a predisposition, not a guarantee
that was dope
These people jump through hoops to get their feelings hurt. Just eat and be quiet.
Lmao! Prefect advice though.
I didn't know they made hoops that large.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ActualHumanPerson Well, now my feelings are hurt. :-(
Seriously. Nobody gives a damn that they are fat. What we care about is when they try to convince others to be happy being unhealthy. Leave impressionable, struggling people alone and we won't give a damn about you, Fat "Activists."
I've never personally been overweight but calling ppl who've lost weight "former fats" seems fucked up. That term is dripping with envy and resentment. It pushes the idea that even if someone loses weight they are still defined by their previously fat body. Very demeaning imo
I agree
Great point.
When they say "former fats tend to be really fatphobic" what they mean is "formerly fat people talk about how much healthier and happier they are now that they lost weight, and that bothers me and other people who haven't put in the effort to do the same." They might as well pose as "allies" of college dropouts and tell people who graduated to stop bragging about their degrees, or "allies" of people in credit card debt trashing people who have managed to dig their way out. They are just bitter, jealous losers who hate to be reminded that their failure to be fit and healthy is 100 percent ON THEM because it interferes with their desire to live in their own bubble.
As a “former fat” myself I find it hilarious and take it as a complement. I just see it as something that emphasizes my progress 🤷🏻♀️. Even if they mean it as disrespect or jealousy. But not everyone thinks like me so idk
@@whydoyoucaresomuchdude u arent a snowflakr so it isnt that strange, one needs to go out of their way to feel insulted by that.
As a black person we are not meant to be fat!!!!!
I’d be so fucking offended if I was black and heard people talk like that. It’s honestly really racist even though they think they are the opposite
@@NinjaOutfitInTheWashFunny how it’s always the white ppl getting offended on behalf of black ppl
That lady has a white saviour complex. There is not a very large difference between white people, Latino people and black people. Socioeconomic reasons are far more influential than your race when it comes to weight.
It's almost like they forgot about all the 3rd world countries with starving children, its a real shame those Tanzanian kids are starving when there genetics clearly say they should be fat it makes no sense.
I live in Midwest and most people are overweight. I go for a walk in a very rich area (far from my house) because there’s a nice walking and biking trail. Population is 90% white and 99% of people I see on the walking trail are overweight.
@@ld7207 true. I'm an Afghan and while having been born in the Netherlands I've been to Afghanistan and seen how impoverished and underfed a large part of the population is. I'm genetically the same yet I was obese until I decided to lose weight. It's the western diet, not genetics. Now sitting at a healthy weight which has made me feel far greater. Losing 45kg was difficult but worth it
To be fair, I doubt she actually believes this. She's just cynically using other races to further her own agenda.
@@DanelRahmani good for you man that’s amazing 🤩
We are constantly hearing that “fat people don’t owe you a thin body,” so I’ll turn this around for the criticism of Rebel Wilson: thin people don’t owe you a fat body.
Spot on...
What a perfect statement! Could you please go use this in one of these people’s social medias? We’d all love to hear their retort to this. (It’ll probably be ignored, as it makes too much sense)
@@gyrlgeorge Ill do it! Maybe on a Marissa video just to see how many vile names she can call me …
😂yes. Just yes. 😂😂
Fat activists: celebrities don’t owe you their body.
Also fat activists 2 seconds later: Because she’s a celebrity she has more responsibility in how she speaks about herself. 🙄
The way they refer to people as “former fats” creeps me out. It sounds as if they feel resentful over the fact that some people succeeded in losing weight. They can’t even refer to them as “former fat people.”
They’re mad people got out of their cult alive
It's a classic "crabs in a bucket" mentality.
“The body positivity movement has nothing to do with being positive in your body”

Then what is it about?…..
"Steven Universe" is the most body positive show I've ever seen yet she managed to dig up a ""problem"" even there, I'm truly amazed
Characters in Steven Universe never eat anything except pizza, waffles and chips, literally what more does she want? And most of them can literally shapeshift, certainly they can wear whatever size shirt they want.
She’s really mad they didn’t put a character in a 5X.
Bruh, it’s a show about sentient space rocks, I don’t think the writers put too much thought into what size their 8 foot space rock wears. 😩
And Rose Quartz (one of the biggest characters) was made to be the most serene, graceful, tough and beautiful characters in the whole show to the point that statues were made in her honor. And she was a natural leader and warrior. She’s literally the epitome of “body positivity”
@@adamlambboy8332plus it’s a kids show. Like tween and teens. Not all of them are going to know what 5X means or how to visualize it but… they’ll all know what extra large means 😭
Anyone who has a problem with Steven Universe is looking to be troubled
As a former fat, yeah, I AM freaking fat phobic! I'm afraid to go back to the pain (both physically and emotionally), I don't want to go back to not feeling proud of the state of my health, I want to continue chasing after my niece and nephew and experience life without any limitations because of my size.
Same same same!!! Omg where do I start? I can never go back to that depressed state where I was questioning my existence. I can never go back. I don’t want to! And I never will!
@@EarlyBirdCraft 💪
Power to you!

@@avangelinechatters 🤗
I love how she mentions Uncle Iroh as an example for fat positive anime/cartoon characters. I mean, yes, he is AMAZING and one of the strongest benders in the ATLA universe while also being fat and a philosophic tea lover. But in the end he gets fit and loses all his fat to turn himself into an insanely muscular old man to fuck up all the guards and break out of his prison cell. Isn't that... FATPHOBIC?
Yea, I was really surprised that she seems to be totally Ok with Uncle Iroh getting buff AF in prison to get stronger and break out but then has a problem with the MHA character Fat Gum who is shown to be totally competent and capable as a pro hero in his fat form and then can convert his stored fat for muscle to get more offensive strength but then loses defensive strength. Like....shouldn't Fat Gum be BETTER representation than Iroh?
atla is interesting because the only prominent non-skinny characters are old fire nation nobles, which is reflective of the socioeconomic structure established by world building
@@gamsougher3574 azula and the fire lord is skinny must mean they the good guys by that logic
Now that I think about it, I can't remember anyone insulting him by his weight. Just his age.
There was also the Hippo, from the Earth Rumble competition with Boulder who broke a rock with his teeth, and Ho Tun from the comics that joined Toph’s metalbending academy
Lol, that's what I thought too.
Uhm, unisex sizing is generally cut larger than women’s sizing because it is made for a man’s build as well.
That's what I was thinking too! It's made smaller for a woman but a man can get into it too? it makes no sense
Came here to say the same thing, very confused about what she's talking about lmao
Thank you for confirming! I was super confused about that...
Unisex can be cut narrower, whereas a woman's cut accounts for hips.
Choji from naruto is fat because of his ninjutsu. It’s explained how he converts extra calories into chakra (the power source of the show). She needs to stop reaching and stop looking for excuses to feel offended.
Came to the comments to say this!
It wouldn't surprise me if she got triggered when he burnt all those extra calories and became skinny in the process during his fight against the sound 4. She was probably screaming, crying, punching walls.
How would she live if not constantly offended?!
If she logs out TikTok, she’d probably realize that.
She also compliments Uncle Iroh for being fat....he gets buff AF near the end so he can break out of prison....the mental gymnastics of this woman astound me
Former fat here. 7 years now. You know what victory looks like? When you can benchpress more than your former heaviest bodyweight for reps.
I blamed genetics for a long time. Then I stopped binge-eating and got off my ass. 90lbs gone like magic. Who woulda thunk...
You lost a whole person! How does it feel?
@@thaliacrafts407 a hell of a lot better, mostly ^^
It's weird to describe. It's like the entire world feels lighter. Running, climbing, bending down to pick things up etc go from an exhausting chore to an imperceptible detail.
I wouldn't wish obesity on anyone. People who lost a lot of weight know how much of life you miss out on when you have to haul your flesh prison around.
Seeing as how black people are one of the most rapidly growing group of people to embrace veganism and fitness I really doubt they are meant to be obese. :/
My thoughts exactly. 🤦🏿♀️ They’re going to be real mad. Our community is campaigning to reverse the damage done to our communities from food deserts..etc and create options. They need to say they want to be that way and leave our names out their mouths.
Because of their bad diets, you wouldn't know, but they have low body fat and more muscle genetically. White people actually carry more fat naturally. You can see it in sports.
@@Sun_shines yes. It’s racism. They’re wanting you staying at rock bottom while they weaponize black people.
Being vegan isn’t healthy btw
@@BeneGesseritSaya well being as vegans live longer than meat eating folks in general, I doubt your statement.
these people like to compare themselves to the LGBTQ+ community, so allow me to take the stab at it;
the way she prefaces her Rebel Wilson rants is the equivalent to saying "people don't owe you their sexuality" then proceed to explain why you're homophobic for not being into them.
"She said she didn't feel right dating men, but I date men so why is she insulting me 😡😡?"
Being born with woman genital organs and identity yourself as a man is AS STUPID AS being at ease with obesity.
@Autumn Leaves No, that has nothing to do with gays and lesbians
Ah but people DID get mad at Frozen, set in historical Norway, for it's lack of racial diversity
Thank you. Which was absurd.
Oh yeah I remember that lol
I'm 6ft and my y biggest was 300lbs. I could have been this girl. I used to say if I was 170lbs, I'd look anorexic. I thought it was genetics. I was in denial.
Since Sept, I've lost over 100lbs. Currently 182, goal of 155. How did I do it? Eating less
But.... but the nourishing... 😟
(Congrats! 👏)
congrats!!
Great job, happy to hear that you seem to be feeling more confident in yourself! That's all that matters. You love yourself!
Thats awesome! You should be proud of yourself 🥰
Fellow 6ft lady - use Better BMI (it’s for tall people) - 150 May be a little too thin (I was 150 once and it’s THIN THIN)
Does she sit around watching childrens cartoons waiting for something ‘fatphobic’ to occur
That is very odd
These women want to be oppressed so bad
as a data scientist it hurts me to see how these people are reading data as it is more convenient to their narrative
it really bothers me that she spends so much energy complaining about celebrities and cartoons when the entertainment industry is SO messed up. There are so many things she could rightfully bring attention to. But no a cartoon alien wearing an XXL instead of a XXXXL is the problem.
especially since xxl doesnt seem too unrealistic; besides her booba size, her upper body is relatively slim in build
@@Jo-sx8yialso like... she's a shape shifting alien made of light. Didn't anyone consider she just made her torso smaller?
@@Kumquat2290 that 2
When she said "differently-bodied" I believe she meant disabled. The term, like "differently-abled", "specially-abled", and "special needs", is widely considered ablist and offensive to disabled people.
oh god…i don’t know why people even started to use those terms. They are just wordy..disabled works just fine. Though i’m personally fine with special needs.
It gives me the same vibes as people who are adamant about people first language when talking about autism- to the point where they’ve told me off and i’m autistic lmao (they weren’t..)😭
I believe that the girl used that word because she believes that ‘disability’ coincides with ‘obesity’. Which is not at all representative of the disabled community as a whole. I, personally, don’t mind any of the other examples that you gave- but as somebody with an invisible illness- I do have an issue with someone using the term ‘differently bodied’.
@@aaaaa-zc5hq it gives me Sia referring to autistic people as “magical people with special abilities” vibes 🤢
If black people are “supposed to be fat” explain why when I started working out I went from 235-165? If I were truly meant to be fat exercise would make no difference.
Right. I only started gaining weight when I went from about 3 meals a day with snacks in between to snacking all day and eating a huge meal at the end of the day.
If I'm supposed to naturally be fat and eating like that is normal, why would I suddenly gain weight?
According to them you just hate yourself and you're going to gain it back. Oh you probably have an eating disorder. Apparently that's the only way people lose weight.
You're violating what your race is supposed to be, man. That's like, racist, man. Or something. Whatever. :-)
Darker skin makes fit bodies look even better too.
There seems to be an idea in the black community that black woman are supposed to be fat, to the point that they bully smaller woman. I've got a friend who's tall, lanky, and black, her family to this day still makes fun of her for it. I was there to hear the "real men like curves" from her own mother.
Also I really appreciate the D&D part. I play it and yes, that's what it sounds like lol 😆
There are men who like all kinds of women and it does not determine if they are a real man.
Most of the black girls I know in my area are pretty skinny. I didn't realize this was such an issue.
@@metoo3342 I grew up in a southern state. The majority of Black people are overweight or obese because their diets aren't the best. I guess it really depends on where you grew up
I'm Mexican but that phrase has been said to me since I was in first grade like ?????
No that’s not the ideal in the black community!!! the ideal is being a BBW aka a big booty woman or slim thick. When we say curves me mean hips and butt only🤦🏻♀️ your perception is wrong
I dont think fat women understand that the poor care in medicine is an overall woman thing. Not just a fat thing. I was 120lbs with 3 broken ribs and the doctor at the ER refused to give me an X-ray (because he was “too busy”) told me it was just cramps and sent me away 🙄🙄
My sister is very thin and fit, and she broke her jaw on the bathroom counter due to mitral valve prolapse. When she went to the hospital with her chin literally cracked in half with part of her jaw sticking thru her gums making her teeth completely off kilter, the doctors tried to tell her she was fine and to send her home. My sister begged her husband to talk to the doctor to make them X-ray her at the ER. She ended up in emergency surgery and has titanium plates to hold her jaw together. Doctors in general don’t believe women are sick/injured. It’s not just fat women.
We gain weight when we get older because we stop moving and eat just as poorly. It’s not “supposed” to happen that way. It just does because of the way we’ve structure society.
Technically, yes, metabolism does get slightly slower as you age, as muscle naturally atrophies, and other sometimes environmental factors like a hip replacement or something, but otherwise, yes, you are correct.
Yes, and of course your metabolism gets worse, and the fact that every bone in your body hurts limits movements in general.
So yeah it is normal to gain a little bit of fat even thou you don't necessarly over-eat.
But you're not gonna magically become 300 pounds just because you're old😂
why do they always record themselves so close to the camera??? i feel like i have to take a few steps back every time ‘cause it makes me so uncomfortable lol
As a big nerd that’s also in a dnd group, I take great offence at your joke and am disgusted at the nerdphobia. Educate yourself
Grow up karen
Do better!
LMAO this was ***chefs kiss***
"nerdphobia" LMAOOOOo
Sorry what?
It’s almost as if black communities are typically in food swamps where healthy options are sparse but unhealthy options are literally everywhere. It’s almost as if food insecurity can lead to an unhealthy relationship with food. It’s almost as if black people tend to have produce more Cortisol, which is a stress hormone that can have adverse effects on health including weight gain. But no black people are just fat because that’s how we’re meant to be lol. I hate when they speak for us.
Exactly. I wish they would stop speaking on our community to justify their mess. Unbelievable
''Don't come at me with cultural differences'' is the most American thing I've heard in a while🙊💀
Cultural imperialism at it's finest. Everyone else needs to learn english and keep track of US politics, but americans reading up on other nations is apparently too much to ask.
If she showed a map and made the argument that black and latinx folks are paid less, leading to poorer diets....she might have made some statement there. Just a map and 'these ethnicities are meant to be fat' was a huge level of cognitive dissonance.
Like hmmm I wonder if there are giant confounding variables that makes these heat maps align. Beats me!
Besides, Latino and Hispanic aren't even ethnicities 😂
@@Raya-ir4tm you're right, I have not met a single person that likes "latinx"
Actually, Hispanic just means that you are from a country in which Spanish is spoken. That's why, Spaniards are also technically Hispanic. And a lot of them are white. So hispanic is a term that has to do with language, and not with ethnicity or race. But I think this term is misused in The US, but pretty much everywhere else, that's what it means
@@Raya-ir4tm Yea i would ever prefer mexicana over Latina, I understand that some people may want it but it’s stupid to ignore the fact that In Spanish the o ending Can also mean plural or they. Like linguistics people
Your body doesn’t hold on to fat when food is scarce, it burns fat for fuel when food is scarce.
Cheap processed food lacks nutritional value, is addictive, and is calorically dense. So yes, poverty can affect weight, but at the end of the day it’s still because people are eating too much. If this woman spent a year in a third world country where access to food is a real problem I guarantee she’s not coming back 300+ pounds.
Not unless she starts eating Third Worlders. Which is a distinct possibility with the ethics some of these people radiate.
yes and no. there’s evidence that starvation/stress will slow your metabolism. however, it’s not enough to make you gain weight or anything like that.
@@Raya-ir4tm it’s not about tolerance? cheap food in the US are things like mcdonald’s. it’s the most calories per dollar. it’s the economic choice, but it will ruin your health obviously.
@@josiekoch7589 only about ten percent and you'd have to go below 600 kcal for that to happen.
@@jakiic23 another thing about the US is the infrastructure is very car oriented so people basically drive to go to wherever they want for the most part unless you live in some cities and the roads aren’t that walkable so I assume that might play a part
I swear, ye gods, the way that Fat Acceptance TikTok refers to people as "small-fats," "former fats," "fat bodies," "never-fats," just really, REALLY bothers me. It's really gross. It's maximum objectification.
That whole "living in a fat body" terminology also really annoys me. Like for fuck's sake. It's such a part of these people's identities but they then want to use language that seems to separate themselves from it. Smh.
Like how the word "obesity" is blasphemy to them
It always reminds me for some reason of dwelling in a place, as opposed to being one with their own flesh.
@@voluntaryismistheanswer But then you can move from one place to another so technically they can lose weight by that logic right?
SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
The WAY weight is discussed in Japan/Japanese culture is *extremely* different to how it is handled in the US. Like, in Japan, it’s not really considered taboo or terribly rude to point out that someone has gained a lot of weight or is generally heavy (I heard things like, “oh, you have such a big stomach! It jiggles so much, how happy!” a lot lol, And after I lost weight, “What happened to the jiggle? You are so small now!”) Usually, it’s not meant in any negative way or whatever lmao.
It’s just…another physical feature, sort of like the color of your hair, your height, or the size of your feet (I know that seems specific, but as someone who wears a 7.5US, I got A LOT of “wooww!! Such big feet!! 😮” lol)
They'd go crazy over my feet then. I'm a 5'4" woman with size 10 1/2 - 11 feet lmao. I'm like a real life hobbit
@@scarlet12234 a real life hobbit is one of the best things I've heard today, that sounds awesome
Same in China! Actually it can even be a compliment to be called “a little bit fat,” as it can mean rosy cheeked and healthy, kind of youthful like a chubby baby!
Those sound like the things I say to my cat when I rub her belly lmao I love it
I heard that Japan also has a tax for those who are overweight.
As a black person, we don’t claim to be friends with this women😐
I wouldn't necessarily call Pooh a body positive icon. He's a bear. Bears are fat. That's just the way it is. It wasn't really the writer's intentions to make him a "body positive icon"
Bears are actually literally fatphobic because they gain weight in the fall and then lose it during hibernation in time for Hot Bear Spring, such bad role models /s
Omg reading that first sentence in your comment cracked me up😂.
What has the world come to?
As a person who is *actually* genetically heavier than I appear- therefore considered medically obese- I don't understand these people claiming its genetics all the time. I’m 5’10”, and I weigh around 220 lbs- some of that is fat, absolutely yes, I've got a bit of chub- but the rest is natural muscle mass and the fact I have incredibly dense bones due to my genetics. Doctors are always surprised because they always estimate I weigh around 170. *That* is genetic heaviness to me. Not...being 300lbs of majority fat and claiming you inherited that genetically.
I’m one of those!! I had to have a bone biopsy, and they had to use a special tool because my bones were SO thick and heavy, they broke the normal screw. I’m 5’6, 220 lbs, but definitely look a lot less.
@@pilotswife06 I haven’t had a biopsy- but bone density is what doctors have told me is the case. I’m so glad I’m not the only one haha- it’s always funny to tell people how much I weigh and have them not believe me. But that excuse for being heavy is way more realistic than just being like “my genetics gave me 150 extra lbs of fat” y’know?
Same!! My grandmother referred to it as "dinosaur bones". It's supposed to be passed down through my maternal grandmother's side of the family.
@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 My husband has those bones, gave my children excellent teeth lol- I was always breaking bones, they never have
Or had a cavity
I never really understood how just stupid people can be...It's pathetic, why the hell are they referring a healthy life style as "diet culture" like if you wanna continue stuffing shit food down your throat and not care about yourself fine good for you.
Also not mentioning how the unhealthy food industry is apart of diet culture
I also find it funny that fat activists claim you can't be feminist if you don't care about all sections of activism but in their next story post they show themselves stuffing their face with meat but say others are participating in toxic diet culture for being vegan/vegetarian (for the environment) .
Never underestimate the stupidity of people
People are triggered by cartoons. First world problems
As an obese poc, everything in my culture revolves around food so we eat A LOT. Every family event there’s so much food. It’s seen as disrespectful to not finish your food. That’s the reason I’ve been fat since I was a child. Obviously I’m an adult now so these are my own choices, but that’s why so many poc are overweight
Same. Food is how you show you care about someone, especially when it’s harder to get food.
I’d say socio economic reasons into it a lot as well but I’m not pic so I want to be respectful in that regard
If they care about you, wouldn't they want you to be healthy and happy?
That’s literally every culture.. except maybe Japanese culture lmao.
Northern European culture: big roasted animal + barrels of beer
Southern European culture: cheese and tomatoes + litres of wine
NA culture: massive amounts of processed food + disgusting ‘lite’ beer
Etc etc, food and music are literally the universal culture. Name a single culture which doesn’t have music and food as their main form of entertainment?
If you’re American, trust me, you know nothing about the world. This is why we all say you know nothing about world cultures. I’ve been to and lived in 37 countries, all over Europe Africa and Asia, no matter where you go, Zimbabwe to Russia, Belgium to Bangkok, everyone just wants to sit down around a table, laughing, eating and (if not religious) drinking together.
In my experience, the Irish are the single most hearty individuals. The stereotype is true, they just want to love laugh and sing whilst drinking together. Nobody can roast someone like the Irish, always joking around. But even the Chinese and Russians are the same.

I agree, we shouldn't call it "body acceptance". It should be "body surrender" or perhaps "body fatalism" instead.
Or death acceptance.
Good ones. I agree
So weird because I just feel really sad for her. She just gives me vibes that she was horribly bullied. Like insanely bullied. And now, she's trying to control her world by fighting hard against everything that may hurt her. I just want/hope she feels better about herself because she seems so hurt.
@@Raya-ir4tm The comment says she was bullied. Not she was a bully
She is a narcissist
I agree honestly, fighting this hard to prove a point clearly stems from some sort of trauma
I don't feel bad at all She is not helping her situation complaining on tiktok
"The body positivity movement has nothing to do with you being positive in your body." Lord help... 😑
Rebel Wilson is allowed to lose weight,
" it's my body my choice" until you want to lose weight, no hun you're not going to police her, me or anyone else on weight loss
If it's my body my choice it also applies to losing weight,
I went from 247lbs to 229lbs I feel amazing,I feel lighter and I also feel like myself again
Growing up I wasn't obese but I started gaining weight when I was 17 it was awful I felt awful I'm so glad that I'm taking my life back. Thank you Funtie! Your videos are what got me through this journey, again thank you
Edit: I am still continuing on my journey and I am beginning to love myself the more I lose,
I'm getting myself back
you're welcome 🤗. congrats on the weightloss.
@@funtietimes thank you! Sorry for the late reply 😅 hope you have a good morning or night
thank you for actually educating people on how socioeconomic status matters for weight gain. i’m a black women who was raised in an upper middle class family. i know various black women of different ethnicities who are also middle class qnd are skinnier than even a lot of the white women i know. 4 black women out of the 20 i knew in my university were fat and were usually international students from countries where there are known to have cultural foods that are high in calories. it’s so stupid and honestly fucking racist imo that they are trying to use black and brown people to make themselves feel better about being fat. they always use that one fat black woman in history who was sent to work in a circus in Europe b/c of her body as an example and it kills me every time 😂 like you guys are really letting other people perpetuate stereotypes about us.
And that woman wasn't even fat, she had lipoedema
In my community African if you're skin you aren't seen as beautiful. I lost weight from 65kg to 57kg my well meaning people always push food my way to fatten me up.
@@aishaluminsa6505 that's awful. Imagine pushing someone to develop diabetes, arthritis, dementia or even cancer, just because you believe it makes them more attractive 😟
@@aishaluminsa6505 It is kind of understandable from an evolutionary perspective though.
I’m very interested in psychology and philosophy and one of the videos that popped up on my feed is a man who traveled throughout the African veldt and sub-Saharan Africa. He met several protected tribes that lived traditionally as hunter-gatherers or precipice livestock communities such as the Himba. He asked them existential questions about the meaning of life, what happens in death, and their place within our universe and it was very enlightening to consider that this was how a majority of people thought for thousands of years prior to industrial society.
One of the answers to the meaning of life was food for the Hunter-gatherers. This makes sense as in the dry seasons and the coming and going of local prey animals in migration, these people would constantly be moving to follow the food supply as you can easily starve if you miss your opportunities in the dry season. This opposed to the consistently fertile lands in the river valleys with constant rain supplies. It made sense that these peoples would highly value food and the ability to hunt.
Another interesting thing to note is that these dry seasons also made trade with the outside world a grueling and punishing process due to the inconsistencies of the African river ways and lack of natural ports to trade from.
The harshness of the African landscape compared to the North American landscape when it came to trade and soil fertility largely impacts how African cultures value food.
With how recent globalization and the ease of immigration from now compare to 500 years ago, it’s interesting to see how these ancient and local cultures interact with our modern multicultural and abundant society.
@@thaliacrafts407 omg i didnt even know that! that’s actually fucked up that they use a black woman with a condition to justify both racist stereotyping and as a stepping stone for fat activism
Yeah so that's no racist at all!!!🙄
The nerdy d&d comment had me laughing hard 😆 🤣. CHOJI is one of the most epic characters in Naruto. he eats so much because he requires thr calories for the expansion techniques lol. Sorry for my inner nerd.
I'm starting to get allergic to the sentence 'living in a fatter body'. With saying that they are so clearly disassociating themselves from their body and their responsibility for it.
For how much longer is this adult woman going to obsess over the assumed sizes and weights of cartoon characters??!?
This is what happens when people are given a big enough platform to fester in their self pity and sorrow. It’s really obvious they’re not comfortable in their bodies and have to over justify why they look the way they do. Everyone just needs to stfu and mind their business. Wear what you want, eat what you want, stop making it your personality.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that unisex is larger than women's sizing🧐🧐🧐
Her constant pushing of the idea that nutrition is impossible to obtain normally makes her, unknowingly, part of diet culture.
And also an idiot. The issue is education. Frozen vegetables and cheap cuts of meat are still a thing but people don't know how to cook. Food deserts are a thing, yes, but there are options still. She also fails in a very fundamental rule that ties into the first law of thermodynamics: calories in and calories out. She didn't become morbidly obese because genes cause her to pull mass from the Warp.
I find it weird when I hear that people don't know how to cook. When I grew up, that was something eventually everybody learn how to do. All the generations before knew, what changed?
All the characters in Winnie the Pooh actually represent mental illnesses. Pooh specifically represents an eating disorder. Funny that she sees him as a body positive icon. Seems like the scene she spoke of was addressing BED imo.
1st world victimhood of Tik Tok. Offended about anything and everything.
29:10 "It's natural to gain weight as you get older". Nope. It may be COMMON, but that's a statement of society and what we value and follow through on. You are what you eat & do. If you suddenly "feel" too busy to show you care about your state then it shouldn't surprise you when those changes start to manifest.
@Andrew Murray Your statement covers a good part of this: continuing to eat as you used to. You need to eat for how you are. Not how someone else is, and not how you might have in the past. Any changes in our activity and body are our responsibility to adapt to. I got into the best shape in 20 years just this past year by correcting my lifestyle balance. I have sever friends into their 50's who are athletic and lean and put in the work. Regardless of a few factors that may make it a little harder than someone else it's always CICO in the end and because those 2 things are always under our control (unless you're being force-fed and/or confined) we are all ultimately responsible.
@Andrew Murray That your body's function will change is inevitable, but the outcome of weight? Nope. Don't want to adapt? Fine, but that's your choice.
This lady really needs to go outside and touch grass or better yet, get a job and go pay some bills and stop using her time to make up reasons to be offended.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm legitimately confused about what "Healthy" means to these people. Do they mean they aren't diagnosed with something like High blood pressure or diabetes?
If that's the case, do they not have joint pain?
If they aren't having joint pain do they think they're healthy?
Full disclosure, I definitely have been feeling my knees getting a bit weaker now that I'm older and have a desk job
I'm not diagnosed with anything, but I understand that to maintain that requires that I work a little hard and go out of my way to be more active because it's unnatural to be so sedentary
Yep, I work from home, and I do feel the knees getting older. And the ankles. And hips. I try to exercise them by swinging my legs, and I'm considering buying light ankle weights to help out with this.
Frankly, for either gender, I recommend kegels. I intend on maintaining urinary continence well into my nineties.
Exactly. I’m 5’2 and I was 170lbs at my highest. My knees and back hurt. I was depressed and had sleep apnea. My blood pressure was normal and no diabetes. Was I healthy? No!
@Lalogue ahhh, that's a good point. Even if that's not what all of them means by, "Healthy" that's a step close to at least arguing on the same page
Not yet
“Healthy” means “too young to feel the consequences of obesity yet”
i love how she records from high up to hide the double chin 🤒 what happened to your "confidence" queen?1/?1😩
People getting fatter as they age doesn’t mean anything...except that they are eating more than they burn and over time the weight accumulates. It’s like saying more running bathtubs overflow after 10 minutes than before 10 minutes.
At the beginning of the year, I was 165 pounds. I noticed simple tasks like brushing my teeth, washing dishes, and walking outside to get the mail would exhaust me. I was like "Hm, that's not good." So I started exercising. I'm down to 140 now.
To anyone who thinks that you have to buy expensive foods, hire a nutritionist, buy a gym membership, buy diet pills, get surgeries, etc in order to lose weight...
I lost 50lbs without doing anything except intermittent fasting. I changed literally nothing else about my lifestyle. Didn't even workout. And I certainly didn't make ANY additional purchases. If anything, I saved money because I didn't buy as much food as before. I also saved time, because I wasn't spending as much time preparing/picking up/eating food.
I don't fast anymore and I eat a much healthier diet these days. But fasting is the sole reason I'm now at a healthy weight for my height/age/sex.
Anyone saying you HAVE to spend money or time to lose weight is fos.
I dropped the same 50 (or so) by cutting the crap out of my diet and adding some vegetables. It took about a year, was pretty effortless, and I feel much better.
She has some nerve calling other people stupid in the same sentence as saying she has to preface she is not talking about their bodies. Just because you SAY you're not referring to their bodies doesn't mean you aren't. Just classifying them as 'former fats' is referring to their body.
No. We. Are. Not!!!!!!
The Steven Universe thing seems kinda nit picky to me. It doesn't surprise me at all that they wouldn't know what t-shirt size to give to an alien who is 8 ft tall. I mean I can barely figure out my own size (it depends on the brand) and I'm so nervous about buying clothes for anyone else because I'm sure I'll get it wrong. Let alone someone who is 8ft tall.
Also I draw and make ocs and it's so hare for me to figure out their sizes and weights. Especially the non-human ones. I refuse to tell anyone their weights because honestly I don't know. How much would an average male weigh if he had huge ass bird wings and hollow bones???
I HATE when these FA say "existing in a larger body". Like are y'all possessed? Are you okay? 🧿
28:09 I've never seen an obese homeless person. Please explain, OP.
She’s right about Rose Quartz, I’m 5’4 160 lbs in XL, but you’re right. It’s a darn cartoon 😅😅😂
Wait….
Pooh bear is my lifelong favorite. To the point I’ve been called Pooh my entire life. I’m 49. I’m fat. Winnie the Pooh is not a fat representative. He’s a bear. A stuffed bear. And a cartoon. Rabbit is not a “they”, he’s constantly called “he” and is male. Kanga is the only female. Why do these wingnuts insist on changing an author’s/character creators’s characters to fit their agenda?? This needs to stop.
And what is her obsession with cartoon characters? It’s how the characters were created. If you find cartoons upsetting or “triggering”, don’t watch them. Easy!!
What’s with the current obsession of acting as though cartoon characters are real?? They are cartoons!! If you have to go after cartoons to find your validation and justification you may want to seek therapy. I mean, as a therapist I wouldn’t accept any of these people as clients because they wouldn’t last long. I am a reality/choice therapist (following the William Glassier methodology) and these folks do not want reality brought into their world.
I love the classification of 'fats.' I'm currently a 'small fat' trying to become one of 'the thins.' 🤣
Ask a kid how to lose weight, as I did mine. The response was "Stop eating mommy!".
Kids get it.
I'm listening at the gym now, thanks for the inspiration. I really enjoy how you deconstruct and counter these arguments. The way this particular group likes to liken their *inconvenience* to actual racial oppression is so unreal. Keep up the good work!
Right, and that’s why I don’t like the term “fat phobic”. It’s thrown around all willy nilly, and the same people wonder why we don’t take it seriously. It’s not “fat phobic” for people to have standard sized chairs in their dining room that YOU can’t sit in comfortably…
Let’s also talk about how that anime characters big power requires him to store excess body fat. When the power is activated he gets to a normal soze
Pooh getting stuck is more about "Being Greedy Gets You Into Trouble" than anything else. --- People hear "Giving Up" when you say "Body Acceptance" because it's coming out of the mouth of someone who has, in so many words, admitted to giving up. They have become resigned to their fatness, to the point that it is their entire identity and personality. You can love your body AS IS and still put in the effort to care for it, make sure it will last, make sure you are TRULY living your best life (instead of just saying you are while being dead inside). --- Anyone else catch the captions saying "stomach oppression" around 19:01 ? That's beautiful! LOL!
Pooh getting stuck is also comeuppance for being a bad guest, he literally eats all of Rabbit’s honey. It’s a victorian story, manners were important!

I thought I was genetically predisposed to be fat while my two older sisters were so skinny. Now I think back on it my two sisters ate very little and picky with certain foods. Also, they were way taller than me so their expenditure calories were higher. Now I understand the law of thermodynamics and it has nothing to do with genetics.
Under another video you commented about being fat-shamed for gaining 30 lb while pregnant and your story didn't make sense to me. You said your starting weight was around 105 LBS and you delivered at about 135 lbs, but now you thought you were genetically predisposed to be fat? What is your goal here because I'm not buying what you're throwing down?
"300 lbs isn't a natural weight for anyone" - aren't you forgetting about Andre the Giant? Besides him though, yeah, you're spot on
Tbf, Andrew was _also_ obese.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Andre was obese at 500 pounds - but I am pretty sure he wouldn't be overweight at 300 pounds. Can't prove it, just an assumption
@Lalogue wow, what a service you’ve done - fact checking a comment that was intended to be more comedic than anything else, and didn’t claim to have anything more than an assumption. Here’s your internet warrior points for the day, go get yourself something nice
SHE SAID ‘OFF THE BACKS OF FAT PEOPLE’ I’m so entirely done 😤🙄
I think "differently bodied" is the 2022 version of "big boned". 🙄
I thought it might mean an extra limb or extra organs, but your explanation makes more sense.
"We’re finally nourishing ourselves" just imagine her surprise when she finds out how many people that are overweight/obese are actually malnourished because they don’t eat a balanced diet
Also: I just fell in love with you for the DnD segment LMAO
I believe she said that people who lose weight claim to be “nourishing themselves” when they actually aren’t.
Edit: according to her
Can confirm. Was eating close to 3000kcal, but horribly lacking in protein, iron and calcium. All those calories were empty.
Ugh!! Funtie, you’re awesome! Thank you for saying so the right things!
I want to add one thing… I hate what these people have done to language. I cringe now when I hear the word/s “bestie” or “Narrative” or “Do better”, etc … like, I literally want to throw up!
Stop using words incorrectly and redefining them to fit your insane agenda!!
NoUrIsHiNg
This movement has gotten so big not only did they push out the person who really got it going, they are actively killing it from the inside out….
Imagine having this much time on your hands to think about anime this deeply.
these people really so dramatic over kids cartoons. seriously? It's a kids show, it's not that deep, get over it lmao. Also... they really can't leave Rebel Wilson alone huh? They seem bitter that she made the effort to get healthy while they keep making excuses for themselves. so annoying.
I appreciate your patience to explain basic things to these madwomen, I could never do that in a million years. Don't stop making videos, ever. I love them!
What is wrong with her? She said she didn't watch naruto, but is gonna break down why choji is fat? Oooh dear lord
🤔🤔 a heat map of comorbidities in areas known to be resource/money poor... then a heat map with ethnic/racial groups known to be systemically disadvantaged would align. 🤯 That illustrates the problem, not race science & genetic proof. If a heat map analysis was done on a different country where the poor tend to be skinnier, then - surprise - marginalized people in that country would be skinnier on average.
I applaud you for trying to find reason and sense where there clearly is none lol
@@funtietimes It's the same community that says weightloss is e*genics then going around talking about different races are vastly genetically different "and here's the proof!" (literally just a demographic map)
@@funtietimes I thought I phrased it right but my point is debunking her initial argument. When I lived in the US I worked in demographic risk reporting for the CDC
And also the same community that is mostly fat white women saying minorities are naturally fatter... And I knew what you were saying. My point is that you put way more thought into trying to make it make sense than they ever do before they speak lol
Essentially, let's just say "Diabetes is fatphobic!"
Also, if she's 6'1" and her "natural" adult weight was around 200 pounds, she was overweight, and then she chose to become morbidly obese, which is not "natural" for anyone.
it's like the fat cells are eating their brains away.
Over six foot women here and in between a small and medium. Where I find trouble is length….
On her "poor people are fatter"
The only point she may have had was that food insecurity usually leads to binge eating (ask me how I know)
But she just totally missed the mark with that
In my case, it leads to Intelligent Hoarding. In that there's a really big shelf in the basement with rotating food items, never more than about six months old, where I keep enough food to keep my sense of "enoughness" happy. Mostly canned goods. I could run for many months off what's on the shelf, and I can gloat over it at midnight if I need to.
@@BronzeDragon133 I've also found that stockpiling non-perishables eases my anxieties.
Good point. Just to add to your point, it may be interesting to some.
I was born in one of the Soviet Union satellite countries. My two sibling were born when the things were prosperous before the collapse. I was born after the Soviet collapse and our country faced starvation and poverty. I grew up being very hungry. Some days we didn’t eat and I remember being shaky and sweaty from not eating for days. Life got better once I became a teenager. I adopted a binge eating habit. I started overeating and became overweight. On the other hand my two siblings who didn’t grow up hungry and poor didn’t adopt a binge eating habit nor did they become overweight as I did.
So I’m a living proof that being poor contributes to overeating habit.
dude i listen to these videos while gardening or just going about my day like a podcast and i casually find myself whispering “couldn’t have said it better myself” lmao
rebel wilson isnt the "face" of fat acceptance.
why are all these FAs crying over someone who doesn't quote, "owe anyone her body".
don't police her lol
Leave my buddy Choji alone! He was a great representation of fat kids in real life- bc some people made fun of him, but over all his friends saw past that and helped him grow. His whole ark was "a crybaby that found power in his abilities and vulnerability" and the fight when he is first shown with his wings was great, I tear up just thinking about it.
