i don't think that's what's happening here
gym %bf isnt about being fat or not, its about obsessing over a parameter for lifting, if that makes sense1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

yeah like i'm not overly familiar with gym culture but obsessing over body fat feels pretty much the same

i'd just say that the concept of bf% exists independently of gyms or gym culture; people who are fat have high bf%, that's about it

in the cultural context it's not a matter of shaming rather: is my %bf optimized for gainz? for competition? for looksmaxxing? its not a matter of uniform lower=better, emphasis is placed on people having control of where they want it for their specific goals

generally in a gym if someone is asking your %bf it's a matter of calibration, no one would bother eg differentiating between different degrees of obesity with such measurements if that makes sense (??)

look i get your explanation and i guess that's how it is in gym culture but i'm having an awful hard time finding a charitable reading on this tweet in its context

also even out of context, taking the tweet at face value, surely, people would want to pay the least income tax which means the least amount of body fat
