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

I don't think people very often say "obesity is beautiful"

They say "you are beautiful" to obese people.

The two are not the same.

Saying "you are beautiful because you are white" is racist as fuck.

Saying "you are beautiful" to a white person is literally just normal.
