The body positive movement for the overweight was a reaction to a long tradition of a large number of people just thinking it’s ok to openly mock “fat people” because “it’s their fault for being lazy and ugly, and we should just tell them all the time in case they don’t already know, also it’s funny and makes me feel better about my own personal failures that are less outwardly obvious”. But you probably know that already.
well no, health also factors into it. being under your “ideal” weight is unhealthy, and that’s what that lead to. of course your ideal weight shifts with things like muscle mass, so they challenged the idea that skinny equals healthy.
Then the phrase should be “happy at any size.”
