the only things that *actually* put fat people at a higher risk for certain medical conditions:
• extreme weight cycling due to the societal pressure to fad diet
• healthcare negligence that fat people experience
• the chronic and severe stress of living in a fatphobic society

This is just not remotely true at all, in any way. This is why I fucking despise the Fat Acceptance movement by the way. They promote and promulgate this and it harms everyone — including them. And even worse, it permanently debilitates their own (and other) children.

Sure, those experiences don’t make it better for fat people, but obesity is an actual, real problem. It greatly increases mortality risk for Covid, too, of course. Straight from the CDC:

It’d be nice if obesity were just a valueless, neutral life choice. But unfortunately, that is not reality and not how the world works. Obesity comes with real hazards that have nothing at all to do with discrimination and bias, that cannot be ameliorated by anything other than losing weight.

Claiming anything else is being just as reality-denying as anti-vaxxers and those who disbelieve climate change is real.

A great way to explain the relative risks of the AZ vaccine with patients. In short, get what you can as quickly as you can!

Get the vaccine, any vaccine, ya numpties.

I’m not saying that some of their criticism are not valid, but goddamn it’s shocking how quickly how many liberals have gone from advocating open borders, freedom of travel, espousing the benefits of seeing and experiencing other cultures to wanting permanently closed borders, onerous restrictions on travel, and in general wishing the world to be a smaller, more bounded place.

The pandemic induced this initially, of course, but it’s taken on its own pernicious life now and will extend far beyond any risk from our current scourge.

Of course, as people will do, they are already and will in the future say, “It’s always been this way; never been any different.” But it was very different little more than a year ago, and now we look unlikely to ever return to that.

Consumerism is sex negative. When "sex sells" it sells fuckability, not fucking. A million things can be sold to you promising to make you more attractive, but great sex between people who really connect can't be branded, commoditized, marketed, purchased.

That is exactly why I call “WAP” a prudish song. It’s all show, no go, as we used to say. It’s like if a fundamentalist Christian marketer wrote a song about sex.
