Is it normal i'm tired of "fat pride?"
It wasn't always so bad, but in recent years fat people have started comparing themselves to gay, transgendered, black, and other people who actually have something to complain about. That's bullshit and sane people should have drawn the line before it got here. Fat people aren't "discriminated against" on anywhere near the level of actual minorities, and they bring what happens to them on themselves. Fat activists like to deny the latter by claiming their weight is because of their metabolism, but anyone with even a cursory knowledge of biology knows it's the other way around, that one's metabolism changes depending on diet. This shows that fat activists have a distinct anti-science agenda and are thereby as much of a threat to rationality as the fundies, as it is as flagrant a rejection of intellectualism as denying evolution. Very few people have a real disorder that actually justifies significant weight gain, so fat activists are just trying to act like their actions aren't their own fault. They also like to say that being fat is "okay." Here's a tip: anything that kills you and causes disease isn't "okay" by any definiton. Being fat isn't just another meaningless part of one's image, it's about a lack of self-control which is something that should never be commended. I'm tired of people who blame something out of their control for being fat then can be seen eating an entire carton of ice cream during lunch break. Honestly, I used to sympathize with fat people, even identify with them a little, until I became more socially conscious and realised that most of them have personalities as vile as their bloated bodies. That should have been obvious from the start, because it takes a certain kind of person to let themselves go like that. Sure, it might be hard to turn yourself around if you have poor impulse control. Guess what: life is hard, so that's not a good excuse for not doing something. We all have problems, but some of us don't act like we're better than others for not dealing with them and handle our issues more gracefully. It's time to stop pretending that people aren't in control of their own actions. That people of different sexual orientations, genders and ethnicities are becoming more accepted is a victory for humanity. That being fat is becoming accepted is a defiance of reason.
