    Without context this isn’t funny and the most i can get out of it is that it is fat shaming and/or shaming unshaved legs

      I don’t like the idea of the word fat-shaming. Of course I don’t condone bullying but being so hyper protective about someone being fat just is peculiar to me. When I was fat myself, due to the teasing of my friends (again not bullying) I put in the work and got fit therefore now I’m more healthy. That wouldn’t happen if my friends were afraid of not “fat-shaming” me

        I mean, that’s nice for you, but the difference is that that teasing was coming from the friends, and not internet randos who neither know nor care about you.

        Next to nobody who sees that screenshot knows the person in the photo, or whether they’re even able to lose weight by “putting in the work”.

        Also, there’s a preponderance of evidence that your case is an outlier, and “teasing” does not improve the lives of its targets.

        You never know what somebody is going through, and it costs nothing to be kind.
