God, liberals just love to show how fucking eugenicist and ableist they are when they feel like there’s a crisis. I almost never see these Nazis made fun of for being Nazis, almost like it would be too revealing to discuss why fascism is bad.
If nobody had shamed me I’d still be “300lbs”
In my uni days, we studied why cigarette shaming was effective, and why fat shaming wasn’t, turns out a lot of overweight people eat to regulate emotions, shaming them for being fat increased risk of emotional eating. While it may have worked for you, studies show it’s ineffective at pushing people to lose weight.
I can see that. I eat when I’m stressed, but the worst part is that I don’t think about it till it’s over and I go “fuck I shouldn’t have eaten that” It did take a lot of me looking at the mirror and saying “you fat fuck!” To get me to stop eating so much junk and do some walking
Remember kids: it is never in poor taste to make fun of Nazis.
This isn’t making fun of Nazis, it’s making fun of fat people and rationalising it because of Nazis.
You misunderstood. Those are their best.
Speaking as someone familiar with healthcare, here is an exemplar of a frequent flyer dependent on Medicaid.
And yet.
He’s gonna get what he voted for.
…i think OP likes to encourage fatshaming :P

“It is a period of civil war…”
“I don’t like encouraging fat shaming, unless it’s funny and it’s about someone I don’t like. Then all my pearl clutching suddenly flies out the window for some reason.”
I wonder, do people like you apply this morality to other unhealthy behaviours? Like do you defend people against shaming a porn addiction? Or smokers? Or any other self-destructive behaviour?
Food addiction is kinda unique in that list, since there aren’t really people who go “akshully, smoking is really good for you and you need to respect my constant smoking!” or “my porn addiction is actually something you should love, if you dislike my porn addiction you’re discriminating against me”
People should be allowed to enjoy and feel proud of whatever they wish. Food addiction also has nothing to do with this topic, too.
In the context of body it is a completely different thing than behavior, because it is not something you can detach yourself out of. Feeling good in one’s own body is their right and choice, and there is no good reason to destroy a person’s own wishes.
In the context of body it is a completely different thing than behavior,
It’s not. Obesity is, for basically every obese person, the direct result of their behaviour. You don’t become obese without a sustained pattern of overeating.
Obesity is a direct result of behaviour.
You gotta give your friend a mirror shield first, obviously
Literally though, so many people devolve into slur slinging bigots as soon as they feel like it’s ok to disrespect the other person.
Fat shaming saves lives
Fat shaming destroys lives
What a terribly uninformative paper. This paper says two things:
-
medical professionals have different opinions on different kinds of people.
-
treating people differently may affect healthcare outcomes.
There are no statistics, no controls, no correlations presented, but they heeeeeavily imply a causative connection despite never showing one.
Professionally, I definitely have opinions between one type of clients and another, because one type will almost always follow instructions and the other is a coin flip. They both get the same quality of work, but if you asked me honestly which I would rather have, it would be the former.
In a study such as this, I would show a strong “bias”, because several decades of experience have shown that one particular type of client doesn’t give a shit about safety rules and laws.
Ironically, that particular type of client would show up again in the second part, because they predictably also have much worse outcomes after I’ve done my work (because they didn’t actually do it).
And this, bots and droids, is why you put some controls in your paper.
What?
I don’t know if you have actually read the paper, but this is a review on existing information gathered from other papers. Many sources have been mentioned, of which contain the things necessary to reach such conclusion. Only one such mentioned papers is https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/oby.20637 that talks about bias in medical field students against obese patients in statistics.
If we remain to the context of body size, judging a person’s willingness to follow healthcare only by their body type is indeed discriminatory. In a field such as public health you cannot cherry pick who you treat, and reaching the maximum amounts of positive outcomes is essential and what modern medicine aims to do on paper. You just cannot expect everyone to maintain the same level of professionalism and quality when dealing with something they disagree with.
The patients values and wishes have to always be respected. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9677014/
You can absolutely do a literature review and include relevant statistics. That’s a very common thing to do in pretty much every field. That’s why this is so strikingly weird, but that’s probably because this paper is literature reviews crammed into a single article, hoping that proximity might create a casual connection.
one such mentioned papers is
Yes, that says “doctors have different feelings about obese people”. It says nothing else. And that’s my point.
judging a person’s willingness to follow healthcare only by their body type is indeed discriminatory
No. Giving that person a different and worse level of treatment for unfounded reasons is discriminatory.
That’s something this paper completely skips over. It reports the doctor’s feelings, it reports the patient’s outcomes, waves it’s arms and goes “seeee, this might be casual! It really probably might be. It might cause it!”
This is “icecream sales cause shark attacks” levels of science.
I don’t think they read it or else they’d see it’s a literature review. Those don’t tend to have “controls”, they instead summarize multiple studies on the sane topic to see if anything interesting come up.
