Why fat shaming is worse than skinny shaming, a thread:
Before I continue with this claim, shaming someone for what their body looks like is NEVER okay. I do not care who you are or how long I have known you - if you shame someone for what their body looks like, I do not know you anymore.
This includes comments on fat girls post like "the confidence here!" or "you have my exact body type and I could never have the confidence as you". these are back-handed compliments. Instead of saying something about someone's body, say something like...

think that fat people are less productive. skinny people have representation on all forms of media and have an easier time getting famous on social media platforms.
at the end of the day, skinny people are told to eat a burger or that they are too skinny.

fat people are told that they are ugly, don't deserve to be in pictures with their friends, don't deserve to shop in a regular store, don't deserve to have representation unless they are labeled "plus-size", etc. people who are naturally skinny will never understand...
what it is like growing up in a world where everybody judges your lifestyle based on how you look.

body shaming - i used to be a size zero. I had more guys trying to date me, more friends who wanted to hang out with me, and an easier time finding clothes when I was skinny. I showed someone a picture of myself when I was skinny (when I was still decently skinny), and...
he went "why didn't I try to date you then?"
