Like all the "body positivity" people that were celebrating that fat people could still be fit and beautiful, and then the minute Ozempic hits the world, they all dropped half their body weight. Not so militant about being fat any more, eh?
I've always been conflicted about the body positivity movement. There is a lot if truth that people on the thicker side can actually be a healthy weight, but at the same time, telling obese people that they are fine as they are is like trying to normalize smoking.
What I do think is important is that someone's self-worth should never be tied to their weight. You're not a worse person than anyone else just because you're overweight, and no one should be treated badly because if it.
Overall, I think it's a mixed bag, but with more positives than negatives overall
