Wow. That is sad, and reflective of the world you live in and people you associate with I guess. But healthiness can be measured pretty objectively through health outcomes, and high BMI and low exercise are both independently highly correlated with bad ones across the whole spectrum of health aspects. It's not just common sense, it's mountains of evidence over decades across every aspect of medicine. The fact that some (in your community, many) people twist this around and make it about something else entirely is sad, but in no way affects the objective truths: - it is objectively healthier to be active than inactive, regardless of obesity - it is objectively healthier to have average weight than obese, regardless of activity level I've lived in a few different places and found the culture around exercise and diet to be very different in different places, so I'm not surprised experiences can vary so much. I am curious where you see this bizarre culture of shaming people for exercising. |

I mean it's super common on any social media where a non-skinny woman is exercising with any real following tbh. It's gone all the way back to covertly photographing fat people in the gym or in public back in the reddit days of r/fatpeoplehate and 4chan. I mean there was that viral picture of a fat guy dancing off 4chan.
