a lot of people put a "CW" or "TW" above their posts about intentional weight loss.
that doesn't do a damn thing, and might be worse than not doing it. i'm about to explain why.

obviously this is bad, but it’s long been true of other countries we praise to the skies for their healthcare and a lot of progressive Americans don’t want to acknowledge that as a huge vector of oppression. there are a lot of places I couldn’t emigrate to even if I wanted bc they have BMI limits
Obesity's now on the list of considerations, as well as cancer, & mental health, that may result in denial of an immigrant visa.
"Those who suffer from these medical conditions could become a “public charge,” & drain the nation of its resources, the directive argued."

it is offensive! it means "fatness as illness" and "fat, but only in a bad way."
obese and obesity are slurs.

The word obese comes from Latin obēsus meaning “having eaten yourself fat.” It blames bodies and feels offensive. About 80% of body weight is influenced by genetics. Fat bodies are natural. Let’s ditch stigmatizing medical terms and accept fat people! #BoPo #EndWeightStigma #FatPositive #AntiDiet

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd
