Is it a warning that you give people? Like “there’s an iceberg, right ahead”
Wait, they mean the Gravy Seals? The Fattack Squad? The PlaqueToon? The Blood-clot-hounds? The Infantiletry? The Dive Bummers? The Shillitary? The Krispy Kreme Kops? The Out-of-Breathalyzers?

Don’t forget Y’all Quida, that’s my fave even tho I spelled it incorrectly.
A) Fuck ICE.
B) Let's mock them for being evil, not for being fat. There's actual reasons to hate them, going "oh haha look how fat they are" just hurts regular fat people.
-- Frost
Given the identity ICE agents have of themselves, as a muscular brute standing between civilized Americans and barbaric outsiders, fat-shaming them is reasonable. Also, they don't deserve to be treated as human beings. Even murderers deserve better than ICE agents.
To be fair, regular fat people should be shamed as well. There is an obesity epidemic, and we need to stop accepting it as normal. I'm no telephone pole of a human being myself, but I'd definitely be a lot heavier than I already am if no one ever called me out on my weight. Every fat person needs to be called out. It's a good motivator to be healthier.
Fatshaming is almost never done out of a genuine concern for the person's health, and it's debatable how effective it is at getting people to lose weight. Especially because of how confusing the process is.
Tbh I would feel way worse and demotivated (I'm not morbidly obese but js) but especially If they're already struggling with mental issues then they'll just feel worse about themselves if they're being shamed on top of it all... They'll feel even more anxious or depressed and want to eat to fill that void, so you're really just feeding a feedback loop (depending on the person, of course) and making it worse for them. Unless I am misunderstanding that the usage of "shamed" here means constructive criticism/advice that you are genuinely giving to them. Even then, perhaps they might already know what they need to do, but they aren't making progress and lack the motivation/executive function to do it.
You don't know what their circumstances are, just try to help them out best you can and don't make them feel like shit.
Had a kid tell me "Want a cheeseburger fatty" when I was trying to walk to lose weight. Lost all motivation because of that. So if you shame fat people, you're an asshole making it worse.
icebergs is wild 💀 internet really never misses with nicknames
This body shape just does not really exist over here in Europe. No idea what you would have to eat to get there.
Hahaha this is false. I am from the EU, live in the EU, and have travelled all over the EU, and I can categorically and confidently say that there are people this obese in Europe. I have no idea how common this is in the USA, and it probably is way more common than in Europe, but it does happen here too.
The first one is so fat that they can shoot around his bullet proof west. The west is like a little bullseye on an elephant
It's not diet alone. There are environmental and lifestyle factors as well.
Chemicals that have been outlawed in the EU because they mess with our endocrine systems are still heavily used in the US. Businesses have better representation in Congress than citizens do, so commercial production has far fewer environmental and health regulations in the US.
Walkable cities/towns are rare in the US. Zoning laws in many places put residential properties far away from things like grocery stores and workplaces. The norm for most people is driving (or maybe public transportation if you live in a city that's big enough to support it).
Decades of cheaply made food that doesn't trigger your body's "full" response
OK, Brownsharts
body shaming those you dislike still hits those you like.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think we should be telling people it's "Okay" to be morbidly obese. It isn't okay. It's extremely dangerous, and a massive resource drain. I don't see a problem with openly mocking and insulting people who have tattooed swastikas on their foreheads, nor do I see a problem with openly mocking and insulting people who weight a full x3 - x4 what their healthy weight is.
Obviously swastikas and obesity are not the same thing. But the point is, I don't think it's a universal taboo to mock people's appearances.
Body positivity should be "It's okay if you're not a super model, there are many body shapes and sizes." Not "It's okay to eat nothing but fast food and twinkies. Your doctor is fat-phobic if they tell you to lose weight."
You're not wrong. Id add tho that there's a mental health component to obesity that I think makes it more akin to substance abuse than forehead tattoos. But we dont tell people that its OK that they're raging alcoholics, generally, and conversely, maybe interventions would help the morbidly obese, but we don't do them.
So I don't disagree with you, but i dont think making fun of fat people is cool, which is what body shaming really is when youre name calling the Gravy Seals.
I actually fully agree with you, and the point about the alcoholics is quite pertinent. We don't tell alcoholics they don't need to change, and we also mock them for being self destructive.
I also fully agree that mocking does not lead to change, encouragement and support does. However, LACK of mocking leads to normalization. I think support and condemnation are 2 sides of the same coin. We should be supporting those who need it, and condemning those who arrogantly refuse.
And I may be conflating the 2, but I am quite confident that most of these obese ICE racists have no desire to better themselves.
i never affirmed anything nor was i talking body positivity. this is just about calling people out for their body. that is shitty behaviour for sure. none of us knows the life of other people, nor do we know their medical conditions and socio-economic situations. stop blaming them for stuff you don't know about. even if you were right about all of that for any given case and wished for them to be healthier: blame does not motivate people.
There are exceptions to every rule. In this case, this is a huge exception.
Likely too much nuance to matter, but in this case, the shame is relative to a fitness expectation for a certain kind of work, not relative to the expectations of wider society.
I'm going to do it even more

Where are the ICE agents? I just see two gigantic icebergs
