The Hypocrisy of “Body/Fat Shaming” Labelers

This will be Part One of a two-part series, Addressing Society’s One-Sided, Hypocritical, Fascist Narratives. Over the years, a saying — more like a shaming tactic, in my opinion— has become popular. When someone either criticizes or make hurtful, snide comments about someone who is “fat” or “overweight,” you now have some people who will call this “body shaming” or “fat shaming.” I’m not sure if this was started by the “social justice” type, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

However, there’s hypocrisy with this I’ve noticed over the years, as I view most society norms, which is part of the reason why I don’t take them seriously, and I pretty much give a middle finger to the majority of them. Before I point out the hypocrisy, I understand if the person is not bothering anyone, and someone decides to verbally attack them. I can see one having a problem with this, that’s not what I’m talking about.

The hypocrisy I’m referring to, and I’ve experienced this over the years with people who are overweight: they can look at you and criticize and make comments about your size all day long, but the moment you say something about their fat ass, people are up in arms. “You’re ‘body shaming’ or ‘fat shaming.”’ What people don’t realize, or they probably turn a blind eye to it, is that some of them will have the audacity to make remarks about someone else’s size, despite not wanting someone to say something about their weight.

I’m a slender, toned guy, and I’ve been in situations, granted not a lot, but there were times when someone is chubby, pudgy, or overweight will make a comment about my size. Some I’ve had to warn — and I will do this more moving forward — not to do that because if I channel my inner Al Bundy and say something about their weight, feelings are hurt, and now I’m “body shaming”. Ain’t that a bitch?

There was a heifer that I used to talked to — I’m glad to say were no longer together — who would do this hypocritical shit. I’m going to talk more in length about my relationship, if you want to call it that, at the time with her in my upcoming book. I once made a joke about how fat her fingers were — her weight would bounce at the time when I was talking to her, she’s big as a house now — she had the nerve to send me a goofy ass text talking about how she’s sensitive about her weight, but this bitch had no problem making comments about my slender frame.

This is the type of hypocrisy I’m talking about. As I mentioned earlier, I tend to give a warning before I go in, but honestly, the moment they criticize or make sly remarks about my size, automatically they leave themselves open for retaliation. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Another form of “body shaming” labeling I see is when a man isn’t interested in a woman who overweight. Now (apparently) it’s okay if a woman doesn’t want an overweight man, but when the roles are reversed, he’s “body shaming”. Well, people can take this how they want to, but personally, I’m not attracted to overweight women, so if one wants to call that body shaming, so be it. I mean, if a woman isn’t attracted to my body type, oh well, that’s her choice. I’m not going to accuse her of body shaming or “slender”, “skinny,” or “thin” shaming or whatever you want to call it.

This is going to take me to another one-sided, hypocritical narrative by society, and that’s the “a man should not hit woman under any circumstances” bullshit. That’s one that I’m really tired of. Stay tuned.
