Remember, they're not regular people putting out messaging because they believe in something (or even lying because it's funny), they are part of a machine that is incentivized financially to put out messaging regardless of whether the people making it believe what they're saying. That's a different ball game, and tbh, it should be illegal or tightly controlled.

Most people you see on the media are unhealthy. From the largest to the smallest, they're mostly all unhealthy and performing very dangerous things like prolonged dehydration.

So it's interesting to see how much focus gets shifted onto obesity specifically while ignoring all else. It's all disgusting messaging, that young model selling you a perfume who hasn't eaten anything but an almond all day, that shredded guy telling you to buy compression shorts, those obese people telling you these pants stretch.

In all honesty, I think you're hearing the wrong thing when you hear what the fat acceptance-people are saying.

Given the context that:

- Dieting, on a population level, has proven to be an ineffective means of curbing obesity (the only statistically effective method is bariatric surgery)

- The message that has, throughout the obesity epidemic, been pushed is that those that suffer from obesity are to blame for their own condition, and that they are essentially less valuable human beings for it in more than a few ways

- Obesity appears to be, according to the best research currently available, a disorder of the brain

Most of the fat acceptance people are merely trying to counteract the less valuable-part of how obese people are viewed in society. It's not a single-messaged group, and some of the things that some of them say is probably not a force for the better, but the message that obese people should not be scolded, chastised or in any other way treated negatively for their condition is actually a good message which any empathetic adult should follow.
