Which is why I find people who claim to be "body positive" who shame people for being thin to be hypocrites who undermine their own message.

Yep, no one is saying "Healthy ≠ thin." But being morbidly obese definitely not healthy. There is no "health at every size."

The problem is that shaming ppl is counter productive. Being obese doesn't make you sub human.

No. I don't think outright making fun of people is the best way to help them. But nor is concealing non-fat body types as being "shaming".

I'm all for the idea that different body types are presented, but without pushing any kind of narrative along with it.

Problem comes down to interpretation. Ads featuring thin bikini models for example should be fine. As should ads featuring other body types.

Provided (and this is the nuanced bit), it is not presented as the "ideal" or the "norm" or that this is how your body MUST look, etc.

The problem I see is that people interpret "body shaming" in a lot of instances where it does not exist. Overly sensitive people.

Ergo, overweight people who simply do not like being reminded that they are overweight. That's taking things too far. Way too far.

I don't think anyone is saying thin ppl shouldn't be represented. Ppl take issue that, mostly, thin ppl are the only represented body type.

Thin also isn't "normal". We're talking about two exstreams.
