Fat Movement is a movement for fat activists promoting to be obese more. They give you a misconception for saying they promote body positivity and fat acceptance. These are more popular in the USA.
When you say Fat Acceptance, it means to accept that you are fat, and unhealthy and needs a change for your health. However, fat activists, they are promoted to accept that you are fat and enjoy being fat. They use the word "discrimination" to those who disagree with their movement. They will call you "Fatphobic" when you start to tell them that they need to go to the gym or diet. If you think to be slim they will say that "you don't love yourself and just follow what the society says." Not all society says are wrong, sometimes it has the reason.
Body positivity is to promote positivity in your body in a different shape but the Fat movement only promotes being fat or obese. We know being obese is not healthy.
Sadly, in the Philippines, it slowly influences their belief about fat acceptance. They have this caption in their profile on FB "Chubby is the new sexy" but the girl on the profile is not chubby but obese. Then another caption, "Better to be chubby than a skeleton girl." So do you think she's still promoting body positivity?
When they hear celebrities who become slim instead of congratulating them they will say, "This is proof that people just want to fit into society. That people want beautiful than nice individuals. You are beautiful already, you don't need to be slim." The majority of Filipinos are influenced by Western belief, they are fanatics of Hollywood, what they read on the internet, they easily believe it, what media set, they will believe it's happening there.
There's nothing wrong if some people want to be slim because they want to be beautiful, because there's nothing wrong to be beautiful, it's not about society's validation but self-esteem and self-confidence. Being slim not just makes you beautiful but healthy and sexy. It's the opposite when you say you don't love yourself because you take care of your body.
The Fat movement also spreads lies on the internet. Saying that you are still healthy when you're still fat. If ever you're fat but still healthy, it will lead to complications when you will be old soon.
This post is not body shaming or promoting body shaming but promoting awareness about this kind of movement that can affect your life. We are already aware that obesity is dangerous. It can cause many diseases like heart attack, diabetes, etc.
So I will link down below the clips of the movements and the documentaries of the danger of obesity.
