    Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that it’s unhealthy.

    It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it’s one of many.

      … Nobody mentioned obesity but we’re talking about body weight… I mean, it’s on topic, y’know.

      And while body weight is not the only standard, it is a good indication of health. If you’re twice overweight, you will die sooner and likely in a not so comfortable way. Handhaving that away with “well, it’s one thing but there are others too” feels a bit disingenuous.

      Yeah, there are loads of ways to die but this one is very preventable
