rpanons | Found the token ace

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

it's been proving that encouraging healthy choices is much, much more helpful than any kind of shaming

and in fact, people who get into fat acceptance communities and start loving themselves and being okay with being fat tend to start doing better, because they don't feel that pressure and "well i'm worthless anyway." for example, they avoided swimming because they didn't want to be seen in a bathing suit, or avoided salads because they'd been laughed at ("who are you trying to fool?") before, and they start doing what they want and it's better for them

tl;dr surprise, hating people doesn't help them

Do you have a source on this? I'm curious because while I've know that being more positive and getting issues like anxiety and depression under control helps I don't know or know of a single person that's into gotten into fat acceptance/HAES and actually lost weight. They've all either maintained their weight or gotten even fatter.

i should correct myself actually: it led to them being healthier, which didn't necessarily include weight loss, but had to do with stuff like feeling of health, heart rate, various blood numbers, etc. let me look for a source, hang on

this is actually talking about the opposite of what my point was, ie that people who are weight-conscious tend to gain more, but the corollary, where not caring leads you to be healthier and stop engaging in stress behaviors (they call out stress eating as the most obvious culprit), still holds true

if hate and shame actually helped people lose (and keep off!) weight then we would have no fat people, especially fat women

but then we wouldn't have civil rights

some of us don't care about helping them

in fact, most of us don't care about helping them
