What do you think?
I'm all for body positivity, and obviously people should not be making sh***y remarks about others based on their bodies, but some of this stuff does seem a bit hypasensitive, especially the "I'm just worried about your health."
Yeah - obesity can be linked to health problems. How is this "fatphobic"?
People will also comment that you're so thin they're worried about your health - which again, weight loss to large degrees or very suddenly can be indicative of health problems. Is this "thinphobic"?

I agree with C2V. People always have stuff to say to someone who's too thin. Or too pale "you need to get out outside more often". Too tall, too short. Look how everyone goes on and on about the size of Trump's hands.
I'm sure overweight people get the most flack and insults. But I don't think everything should be called a phobia. Or maybe it should so the term loses popularity idk.
the online world is crazy.
people care bout how they are perceived online.
i was watching the news (while playing a game) and there was some social media section of the news which said that nicole kidman clapped wrong at the oscars, and the online world had gone into meltdown as a result.
good grief!! ! how many millions or even hundreds of millions of people care about it?
someone else wore the wrong dress and someone else had a wrong expression on their face etc etc.
someone's got a "baby bump" and someone else is in a new relationship.
i don't care and the world is being taken over by this online type of personality.
someone's lost weight and someone's gained weight......
it's all just wannabe's who spend most of their time commenting on celebrities.
the cream rises to the top, and these days, the cream is the people who look the best and have "attitude"
i saw a show last night about plastic surgery, and one person had spent more than $100,000 trying to look like justin beiber.
he was so pathetic. i can not believe he is taken seriously by anyone, but he is.
the end of the oscars (which i also saw while playing a game (i never pay full attention to the TV in the background) where warren beatty and the woman were on stage made me think "f**k! they look like aliens from outer space"
i mean beattie has had it. he is old and his plastic surgery makes him look uglier than he would look if he just grew old gracefully. he should just get out of the arena and hang up his pride but he wants desperately to hold on.
as carly wimon said "you're so vain"
the woman looked like a skull with skin tightly draped over it.
he looked either drunk or demented because he could not read immediately from the card.
i think he may have paid money to have the reason for the blunder to be blamed on clerical staff rather than on his degraded mind.
whatever.
whoever is fat or whoever is thin, or who ever is in between, they will all grow old and die.
in 100 years time the bieber lad will certainly be dead and either a skeleton or a spread of ashes.
it's all just meaningless s**t to me, but i feel that the world is moving on without me now, and the older i get, the more i fail to identify with the current generations.
i guess that's normal however.
it is true that people are getting better and better looking all the time these days.
that is because travel is possible and people can seek out the best looking people to procreate with.
back in the say 1600's, people always lived and traveled within the vicinity of their village of birth, and so the best looking people from a rather small subset had most babies, but men were desperate and reproduced with whoever they could find that were willing.
i think if i could wander through a village in the 1600's, i would find all of the girls quite ugly indeed.
but since the 1900's, there were more people to choose from in more distant places, and they held off until they found who they liked the look of.
as time went on, people who were pretty paired up with each other and made even prettier offspring.
and now, there are stunningly beautiful girls everywhere, and strong macho healthy looking men to pair up with them.
the concept of "rare beauty" is now compromised because there are possibly 100 million extremely beautiful girls in the world, and because of that fact, they lose their importance to a degree.
just imagine in 300 years time, that every young woman is the best looking woman you could ever perceive.
how would they dig themselves a nitch on social media since they all look kind of the same?
anyway i do not know. my asperger mind can not take into consideration anything other than superficial concepts, so maybe i am wrong. i don't care if i am though. it does not matter to me.

I get told I am to thin all the time.
