OMFG to compare AIDS to diabetes is the most retarded thing I've heard on this sub. Another masterpiece of fatlogic!

It's actually not imo. The gay comment was bullshit, but aids is also the result of not caring for yourself (using the appropriate protection).

True but to be comparable AIDs victims would have to knowingly and deliberately expose themselves to small amounts of the HIV virus every day for several years until it finally results in an incurable condition which gradually destroys them. I suppose the last part is right.

AIDS is not always the result of not caring for yourself. You can contract it by birth if your mother had it, or by blood contact, etc. Please do not compare people suffuring of AIDS with massive pieces of shit who don't deserve to live

To be fair, I believe their intention is: AIDS as a gay disease is a false association as diabetes is to obesity, in a very broad context. This is definitively true in the same manner that dementia is to seniors or school is for children. Of course their statement has big problems

The best part of that statement is the self-serving ignorant bias. Break it down fully, this whale is saying that we know that all people with diabetes are not guaranteed to be obese (Type I, or people dealing with the disorder). This is objectively true, diabetes does not guarantee the association of obesity. The whales trust the research into this field, which everyone should. When the reverse is examined, well "that is just fat-shaming". We know obesity is a huge risk for diabetes (I somehow can't find a Trump "Huge" soundbite, what is this world coming to? I know your minds can play one though, let that echo across your neurons. Huge. Huuuuuuuge.). Your odds of diabetes are 7.26x if you are obese. So the science behind the distribution of diabetes in a population is solid science, but the exact same information and processes applied to obesity is fat-shaming.

Shamus only go one layer deep, the fat blocks all penetration.
