I hated that damn skit. Still kind of do.
Fat shaming is probably a stupid term, but there was really a pretty stiff stigma associated with being fat 20 years ago, especially for women. And not just in dating. While I don't think many people consciously thought of fat people as having moral failings, they generally viewed them as being less competent, presumably because they thought they lacked self control/discipline and just because of the halo effect of thinking more highly of people that are attractive. And I think as criticizing people generally became viewed as judgmental (whether the criticism was merited or not), there was a very short time where criticizing fat people was more socially acceptable compared to most other criticisms.
That stigma actually has been reduced a lot I think, primarily because the explosion of the number of fat people has left too few people to maintain that stigma, not because people have evolved and become better people. I don't know that we need to bring back that stigma, but something needs to be done to help people. I think a start would just to go all in on publicizing that the US gov't's nutritional guidelines were garbage and to convince a lot of fat people that they should treat carbs like cigarettes, which from a health perspective, I would think they probably are for a lot of people that are prone to being overweight.
Dude, there is a decades long societal view of fat being a moral failing due to being lazy/dirty/unmotivated/undisciplined. And yeah, people were straight up shamed for weight. Jokes, tv shows, movies, etc in pop culture absolutely targeted fat people.
I will say that in the recent 10 years, the term 'fat shaming' has continually applied to more and more comments that are disconnected from actual attempts to shame. This is what you are referring to, but are mistakenly applying it to all comments.
Please add yoga pants into the purview of the clearing house. I love a good yoga pant, but some (mostly spotted at Walmart or Dollar General, but occasionally in the wild as well) should absolutely be outlawed.
And then big pharma used their power to cancel anyone making these loving and constructive shames. Successfully leading to an explosion of obesity in this country and an ever growing dependence on the drugs sold by big pharma to combat all the ills brought on by fat. **
I mean maybe i missed it by my view of over weight people hasn’t changed from 21 to 41.
Being over weight is unhealthy but I’ve been bigger than I am now and I can stand to lose about 10 lbs.
But I don’t often notice little things that other people notice about people specifically and people in general.
I would like the record to reflect that I only asked about fat lips.
Female celebrities are really into botox. It's getting out of control and they set fashion trends. Or is this post an example of toxic masculinity?

Obesity rates really began to take off in the 80s. A little social shaming, nothing harsh, and nudging needs to happen. Most of it is behavior related and personal choices. It really is hard to stay in shape and a lot easier to over eat, avoid exercise and wear black. Some curvy women do look good
Mine hasn't either but I think society's in general has. 20 years ago, you'd go to the beach or pool and fat girls pretty much would not wear a bikini. Hell, a lot of them at the beach or pool just wouldn't wear swimsuits period. They'd take their kids and they'd stay clothed.
No, you see a disturbing number of them wearing thongs that you pretty much can't see between their cheeks eating them and their stomach folding over the front of them.
I definitely wouldn't want people to feel like they can't wear a swimsuit period; people should be able to enjoy themselves, even if they aren't fit. But I do sort of miss having people feel like it was good form to have swimsuit coverage strongly correlated with BMI.
Just a bit of friendly advice, never go to a beach in Columbia. The thong is the national swimsuit. Man, woman, fat ,skinny, young, old, it doesn’t matter. Usually black with the obligatory gold chain.
I think we have found our answer.
I live and associate with normal people. Fat and skinny. Like the kind who were ok wearing a normal bathing suit but not wearing a Brazilian thong showing all of their sexy cottage cheese.
I also made fun of skinny and fat guys who wore a speedo which was very rare for me to see.
"I think that instead of state ABC controls there should be a single clearing house for thongs. Over a certain BMI, you cannot legally own one. If you are over that BMI and caught wearing one, you better be able to produce a proper license that proves you legally bought it. Once produced, you have 3 months to get back into compliance or you forfeit the thong and maybe your right to vote.***"
VERY specifically related to wearing thongs. I'm in general opposed to them on the beach, but some bodies were never meant to put such a thing on in private, much less public. Mine included!
All I know is if those tights they wear at the gym go out of style I’m gonna cry. Jesus palomino.
I fully support my wife getting a breast reduction and enhancement. Whenever she wants, I will pay for it.
You put some respect on the fine folks of Marion County.
We blindly put our trust 100% into advertisements and medical advice yet can't explain the obesity or either think it's okay and no big deal. The answers are simple yet muddled by ignorant masses.
Shoot, a
Such a travesty...being a guy and enjoying the most beautiful thing on earth, sexy women, and them highlighting it in sexy clothing.
Must suck to have your mindset...but I'm sure you don't notice it.

We have other poster's begging for thongs to be kept out of the hands of many women, yet you criticize my mindset.
Funny.
I have never never ever noticed lips in a good way. I have noticed botox lips in a bad way. Even jennifer anniston lips look out of place now. It's a shame.
Boobs... there is a such thing as too big and unnatural, but most are good. You'd be surprised how many people have them done. I sure was...

Augmentation/enhancements often make people feel better about themselves and their appearance, but it'd be interesting to read data on what it really does to peoples' psyche and sense of self-worth: before, after, and after multiple procedures.
Women wearing a hog ring in their nose. WTH? What do they do when they get a cold? That’s just disgusting.I'm right there with you. Also when did doing crazy things with eyelashes become desirable? Neither of these is as bad as a reasonably attractive woman with a nose ring though.
If I ran around town just wearing my long johns that I wear deer hunting I would probably get arrested. Yet, women wear them everywhere and they have different names for them, but they are still just long johns. For any women lurking around out there, going to town in long johns with a hog ring in your nose, fat lips, and a bunch of tats is not a good look.
Ditto. I don't get it either. Nothing about it looks natural. Another thing I absolutely loath are super long fingernails that are not only unattractive, but they are clearly a burden to the woman trying to do simple activities such as dialing a phone.
Except you are serious about most of your ridiculous takes 99% of the time.
Most others aren't.
Downvote just all of it?
You think lips that look like a deformed duck's bill is attractive?
You think we should normalize obesity and you think it should be celebrated?
So you disagree with me and you find a woman that ripples like the Gulf's tides when just walking to be attractive?
