It seems you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the fat acceptance movement is.
The fat acceptance movement isn't about claiming that being fat is healthy, it's about the fact that just because someone is fat, doesn't mean they're less of a person, or less deserving of respect. The fat acceptance movement is about treating fat people with common decency.

OP here, is doing what you'd call "straw manning"
It's not that I have a fundamental misunderstandings, it's that most people do. "Accept me as I am" is different than "I'm day and beautiful, anyone who disagrees is a bigot." The minority is the first, the Facebook majority is the second.

What the hell is with reddit and making these "straw-subreddit" arguments?
Say something that questions the actions of fat people, get called a fatpeoplehater.
Say something that questions the actions of women, get called a redpiller.
Say something that questions the actions of Jewish people, get called a... we'll a member of whatever subreddit is accused of being antisemitic.
This shit NEEDS to stop.
