    It kinda becomes a strawman when the meme presents “healthy at every size” people as the average “body positivity” person.

      The subtle rephrasing of “health at every size” as “healthy at every size” also doesn’t help.

        Does that subtle rephrasing even matter to people who think both are trash?

        And it doesn’t seem to have worked very well anyway since “health” consistently outranks “healthy”

          Not to the people who are just fatphobic, but it definitely sows confusions. I’ve cleared it up with way too many people offline and on for it be just a rare misunderstanding.

        Yes, the meme presents “healthy at every size” people as the average “body positivity” person… on twitter

        Obviously you can find any poor opinion on twitter, but it is still strawmanning body positivity as HAES… on twitter

          You will also notice the meme shows a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, which is simply impossible.

            What an intellectually dishonest reply. “It’s just a meme, it can’t have any meaning!” despite the fact that clearly everyone in the comments is able to understand and discuss the meaning.

            How cowardly do you have to be to hide from simply saying you agree with meme.

              Naw I was getting at how nit picky everyone was getting.

              But damn, that’s wild that you went straight for intellectual dishonesty as an attack and then pull the coward card. Really escalated that quickly.
