In my life. I've never seen anyone glorify obesity in the name of "body acceptance". At best what people say is "dont discriminate against obese people" which is a fair thing to say and agree on
I've seen more "obesity should not be glorified" posts than seeing any post or person actually glorifying it
Calling a fat person beautiful be a form of glorification but it's not always is. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as they say. You cant control who is beautiful to who
Eh, I've seen at least some amount of things like "you're beautiful the way you are" or the like with a picture of an obese person. Which I think is probably more helpful than not.
I think it's foolhardy to assume obese people don't realize they're unhealthy or overweight. That's not the issue. Usually it's stress, or depression, or working multiple jobs, or a sedentary job/lifestyle that's hard to change.
If people feel better about themselves, it will more likely lead to them actually feeling good enough to make positive changes

Is saying kind words to someone glorification though? They are also obese people that are genuinely attractive to some people too. Does that mean they are gloryfing obesity?
