Has fat-shaming ever worked? Im starting this discussion because of something that happened a few years ago that i was reminded of through a school friend adding me on social media.   I finished high school almost ten years ago. During the last couple years of school, this guy, we'll call Aaron, transferred from another school and boy, was he a favourite of almost every girl. He was the most aesthetically pleasing guy to ever grace the school, and he was lovely. He was funny, he was sweet, he did rock-climbing and was a cadet. All around, Aaron was a great guy.  Fast forward 4 years after our final year in high school. It was a friends birthday, and everyone from our friend group who had splintered off to various cities to study and/or work had came back to celebrate.  When Aaron walked in I didn't even recognise him. He had gained almost twice his body weight, and with it came the desperation because none of the girls fancied this pig that had eaten him.  We were chatting, I was blatantly trying to shame him so I was talking about going on holiday soon, and toning up. He comes out with "Yeh you look great! Nice to see you've still got your giant pair of tits to!". He grinned at me, looking at my chest and then fucking cupped one.  I deadpanned stared at him. Not only because it is incredibly inappropriate, but i was disgusted that this Butter-huffer was talking about my tits and now he was touching me with his greasy sausage fingers.  "Well...you're certainly catching up" and I grabbed his AT LEAST B-Cup. "....What?" He says batting my hand away. "YOUR tits...they're coming along nicely aint they? They're almost as big as mine" And I went again for the other one. He didn't talk to me the rest of the night and thank fuck. BUT heres wheres it gets good. He added me on Instagram a couple weeks ago. And holy shit. He's back. Aaron is no longer a human moon, and looks like his formal self. I browsed through his account, and he was been on a 'fitness/get ripped' journey after a 'weightloss' journey a few years ago.  I can't confirm, but theres a part of me that really wants to reach out to him and ask him if what I said had any effect on him. He was a daughter now but is too young to be the product of an actual pig-fucker so I'm guessing a huge part of his motivation not to return to the flab side might of been to be a better role model for her...but the horror shame in his face that night, I feel confident that what I said and did made an impact.  Have you ever fat-shamed anyone and its made a difference? Or have they just Reeeeeeeeeeee'd back to the farm?
