Fat Awareness A Rant I was thinking about it, and I wish there was a fat awareness movement instead of acceptance movement. Here me out before you rip my head off. The members of the fat acceptance movement claim that they are not ashamed of their bodies and love themselves. If that is true, then they shouldn't mind the natural reaction of repulsion from humans and especially children. Imagine if they spent their time actually warning kids about the dangers and difficulty what it is like to be that fat. Embrace their freakishness and scare the young away from their lifestyle. One could argue that if they were not going to change it would be objective good to provide the service of raising true awareness of their condition. Like a walking smoking leads to cancer ad.  Of course, the reality is that they are not comfortable with their bodies. Hence why they demand that the very definitions of words be altered to accomodate their reality. Also why they care about "exposure" and growing a community. The appeal to authority and herd like behavior is indicative of anything but an individual conviction.  A truly beautiful person knows they are beautiful and does not rely on outside validation. Reliance on external validation is vanity and even objectively beautiful people who attract a lot of wanted or unwanted attention for their appearance are often judged vain or fake. Are all the "popular" girls in high school in america all shallow? It seems to me that there is a connection between receiving attention for looks and being judged that vanity is your strongest or sole trait. This judgement is strengthened when the individual desires and requests the attention. This leads me to believe that beyond the issue of their disgusting bodies fats are detestable because they are engaging in the same behaviors that lead to undesirable judgements of attractive people. Fat and fake.
