That's pretty much it. Though I would go further and say its also a movement to legitimize being bullies. Which is what most of them are, bullies. They can claim all they want that they are the victim of this and that, but at the end of the day their entire movement thrives on belittling human women and men, bullying companies into catering for them, and generally being aggressive and mean to anyone who weighs less than they do.
Fat people who buy into the HAES are usually some of the nastiest pieces of work ever. When they drop any pretense of shame in public, every ugly part of them inside and out comes to the forefront.

Except the characteristic in that case isn't "attractive," it's "slut." That's a shit comparison.

It's obviously not about "body positivity" because there's nothing positive about abusing your body with gluttony and pretending it's good for you.

In high school I moved to a new school, made friends with a cute girl, crushed hard, and eventually asked her out. Apparently whale in our class had a thing for me and was pissed I'd ask this other girl out.
"Why would you ask her out, she only has one leg!" Cute girl replied: "I lost mine in an accident. You'll lose yours to diabetes."
I hadn't known when I met her, but cute girl had a prosthetic below the knee on one leg. But she still ran, swam, surfed, biked, and stayed fit. She didn't let it impact her in any way and lived to the fullest. THAT is body positivity.

Haha no, that was a long time ago and I eventually moved away. I should look her up though.

I totally agree, they are trying to force the world to 1. Be attracted to them and 2. Take the light away from thin/conventional beauty. They are hypocrites, liars, selfish and worse.
I have people flirting with me on a regular basis, coming up to me to tell me how good looking I am and variations of the same. Last time I felt hideous, I needed a bath, I had little makeup on, my hair was at its worst and more but I still had a guy come to me on the bus to say " You are absolutely stunning", when I told him how icky I felt he just said "girl, you still look amazing". Fats don't get that and it's one thing they wish desperately for. I love though of all the fats out there, trowelling makeup on and more before they can even leave the house and getting no attention while I, even on my worst days, still get it all. That kills them inside and it warms my cold, dead Shitlady heart. It especially pisses the fats in my life off to learn that I only wear eyeliner and mascara most days and only need to brush my hair to be prettified to go out, looking good is minimal effort for me while for them it takes HOURS and even then they still look like shit.
They are butt hurt, majorly butt hurt and bitter. That's why they are obsessed with taking shitladies down, we are everything they are not, most likely will never be and most want to be, they HATE us. Fat former women LOVE feeling superior and when we take that away (happens by default when any Shitlady walks into the same room) it triggers WW3. I am sure other shitladies will know exactly what I mean when I say I can spot jealousy/bitchiness from a mile away, it is an instinct, jealous people will do terrible things to make themselves feel better, I love kicking a sow down, deserve no less. Act like a slovenly pig? Be treated like one.
Also, they refuse to just flat out admit that obesity is seriously fucking repulsive to look at, they are the furthest from beautiful a creature could get and that combines with all the other toxic thinking to make them despicable human beings,

This is why "body positivity" goes hand in hand with third wave feminism. Both movements are actually little to do with 'equality' like they'd have you believe but more about trying to get unearned privileges.

And a lot of 'em have exactly one standard look - retro dresses and cat eye glasses, waist cincher, and super amounts of makeup. Because they're so proud of their fat that they need to spend hours shading and contouring (to look thinner) and lacing into a corset (to look like you have a slim waist.) So unless you dress like early 60s mod, have big boobs and a wide ass with a thin waist, and overdo the "feminine" schtick to the point that even drag queens are embarrassed on your behalf, you don't fit in with FA. But I guess the performative femininity is because they lost their gender markers two hundred pounds ago.
