Thin is in, fat is in:

The trouble with weight-shaming

M. M. H

There have been several commercials and advertisements about how fat women or men would be laughed at—until a slim, curvy person comes in and steals audience away. This has been referred to as fat shaming—which people claim to be a marketing technique for slimming pills and exercise regimes.

But is this really necessary? Yes, there are people who consider thin as beautiful—but there are also people who weren’t exactly born that way, their body shape and size being a genetic trait. These commercials bring shame to all those who aren’t exactly slim, everywhere.

Fat shaming isn’t the only thing condemning people to stay indoors. Thin people have also been labeled as sluts, skinny whores and sticks. Are we really not going to put an end to this?

Body shaming has never stopped, but we can do something to stop it. We can start by accepting who we really are, and not judging people based on their looks.
