Comment on Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage?
UltraBlack@lemmy.world 1 week agoIt just annoys me when people who are obese as a result of their own unhealthy habits blame the world for being unsuitable for obese people. And many people are like this

I know where you’re coming from, but in general “the world being unsuitable” is people lacking empathy and/or bullying people for being overweight. At least that’s what I mostly hear about, overweight people complaining about social pressure.
And sure there are a lot of overweight people who for some reason feel compelled to constantly rationalize their life choices to people who didn’t ask, but then again if this is the problem so are there a lot of other people from every other group that people regularly critique that do the same.
But with that being said I think we should point out that as there are few other “groups” one could join voluntarily and the “affiliation” with which is so immediately recognizable to anyone just by looking at you, that I do think overweight people receive a disproportional amount of critique compared to for example smokers. Statistically speaking smoking is more unhealthy and globally it’s even more prevalent than eating unhealthy, but when was the last time you heard someone was getting bullied for lighting a cigarette?
