Seriously? The argument is "How can it be false if the media says it's true?" Because the media has never lied, right? Nothing that was incorrect was ever popular, right? Just because a lot of people believe something doesn't mean it's true.

Agreed. But I've been trying to pay close attention to this in main stream media lately and she is wrong. From what I've noticed from "honest" media sources, is they don't promote fat acceptance as much as they actually try to shame the "fat shamers". It's a strange, subtle distinction I've noticed from oulets that aren't the worthless BuzzFeed types. It's cringe worthy and still pisses me off because it tacitly condones fat acceptance and these fat idiots eat it up.

The media exists to entertain and generate money. Fats are the majority, therefore money is made by telling them what they want to hear. It really is as simple as that.

1) Why was smoking cigarettes broadcasted as positive in mainstream media if it were so dangerous?

2) Why did/do we have smoking models, actors and doctors with absolutely no one interfering with their smoking patterns if it were really that bad?

Yeah. Easily debunked. They aren't even trying. ETA: and apparently I wasn't even trying with my grammar today

Being fat apparently belongs to a whole other category, doused in sugary political correctness. Here we see the amazing one track mind of a Ham when it is triggered by its' own weight, and goes down the path of no return.

Came here to make this exact argument. Just because something is portrayed positively in the media doesn't mean it's good for you. Companies are trying to sell you their shit, they don't give a flying fuck about your health.

I suspect that a Hambeast is present, and is currently down voting your comments. Please proceed with caution.

That hambeast has been here for over a week now downvoating everyone's posts and comments. I've been making sure to upvoat generously, as well as taunt the disgusting creature:

Hey lurking fatty: nobody loves you and you are going to be alone until you die a horrible death brought on by the decades of abuse you did to your body.

Don't startle it. It's probably still constipated with all of the garbage it has been shoveling down its throat, and thinks that down voting will somehow resolve its issues.

" 1) Why is Fat acceptance broadcasted as 'positive,' in mainstream media 2) Why do we have plus sized models "

They are telling you what you want to hear, piggy. Thats all.

Reply to fat:

1) So you saw it on TV so it must be true?

2) In the same way you call Ally Mcbeal (Callista Flockhart, or any other non obese girl in the media) a twig

How could smoking, football, and alchohol be bad for you if they are popular!
