Fat shaming and skinny shaming are not the same thing. Skinny people are not looked at as disgusting. People literally want fat people to die. Both will post a photo and the plus size person will get the hateful comments. They’re not the same at all.

I get what you’re saying about fat people facing more intense stigma, that’s real. But skinny shaming is still body shaming too. People get mocked for being “too skinny,” assumed unhealthy, or told they need to eat more. It’s not exactly the same experience, but both are harmful in different ways.

Yes, it’s so true skinny people are literally the beauty standard and I haven’t even looked at myself in the mirror up until recently, and I was disgusted with myself looking at my size to figure (I’m a size US 22)

But you just said that if you’re at the point where you’re at a 3X, we need to look inwards you just said that 300 pounds is not healthy, so you’re assuming that if you are a 3X, you’re over 300 pounds.

just because you have only witnessed fat shaming to the extreme doesn’t mean skinny shaming doesn’t exist to that same extent. i grew up not able to gain hardly any weight. not skinny by choice. was constantly asked if i was anorexic or if i was trying to kill myself by starvation. got told if i was so concerned about losing weight to just cut off my legs. got shamed that it took into my teens to look like a “real girl” or that i wasn’t pretty or good enough. and ive seen friends get far worse

I have never in my life ever heard a skinny person be told that because they’re so fat and shapeless they will never find love. I have never in my life heard of it. The list goes on. It is not the same.

i agree with you that it is still body shaming, but fat shamming is so much more harmful at the end of the day. overweight people are assumed to be unhealthy as well when most of the time they are perfectly healthy so you can say all you want but it applies to fat shaming just the same. people become anorexic from the fear of being overweight because being over weight is perceived as disgusting.

If you’re at the point where you’re a 3x it might be time to look inwards. Like deadass. No country besides the U.S. carries these sizes.

You can downvote me into oblivion but that’s not going to change objective health facts. Being 300+ pounds isn’t healthy.

I’ve been told ‘no one wants to fuck a twig’ someone spread a rumor I had bulimia, I was told I was built like a door and looked like a 12 yld boy, that I needed to gain a few or no one would want me, people asked if I was sick, people constantly find things to point out on my body that they think ‘shouldn’t be visible’, I’ve posted pictures of myself and accused of ‘making ED content’. So it exists, even if you haven’t experienced it

Also as a 0 I've never found the same clothes that are in the 2-8 section so I'm not sure why you're assuming that's just a plus sized problem??? I just work with what I have and thrift

I’ve been told that I’m so skinny and don’t have enough curves so no one would ever love me or want to have sex with me because I look like a “door”. You’ve never heard it, but I HAVE to my FACE.
