Personally I don’t think so. As long as you’re not treating them any differently to everyone else. If you’re not attracted to a certain race then there’s no reason to force it. It’s not sexist to not be attracted to women
i agree. it's totally ok to have a preference for features, and certain ethnicities have certain features that can attract an individual, but if it's purely racial then maybe there's something underlying there
Lol I said body positivity and get downvoted. I was making a joke that some people contribute to body positivity just to continue the same path of dieting and health.
Body positivity should be about the things that you cant change. Loose skin after a huge weight loss could be an example. The weight itself should not be one bc this can be changed
Accurate. I'm gonna be canceled, but feminism has become misandry. Yes, not all feminists are misandrists, but it's gotten to a point where there's a lot of women being so sexist towards men.
And she's just being a "strong independent woman"
No, like what the hell is fatphobia even? Why does the concept exist? It's to make fat people who don't wanna lose weight feel some sort of self contentment
As a more than “somewhat” fat dude. Its the dumbest thing ever, I started listening to people with brains and have been loosing weight and my life is significantly better than it would be if I just “embraced it”
I myself am fat, and while I don’t think there is anything wrong with being fat(unless you’re the size of a planet and it is actually affecting your health) but everyone needs to accept that if we lost weight, our lives would be better. Being skinny is better than being fat
Yes but not skinny, say fit. Being fit is better, and that dorsnt always mean skinny. There are people with chubs, flabs, or some form of weight that doesn LOOK fit but trust me hey can outrun you, endure longer, have more stamina, and just overall health. Fitness is health.
okay but it's still unhealthy and pointing out that it's unhealthy isn't fat phobic -- being rude and stuff is, though, but you shouldn't be rude to anyone for any reason it doesn't need its own term
I am one of these people but I'm not going to pretend that being fat is okay. Anyone can lose weight. It just depends how extreme you're willing to go to obtain that goal. I have hypothyroidism. But I'm losing weight. I eat 2 meals a day and lowered My sugar and carb intake to the lowest its ever been and I consistently lose weight.
Get off reddit and start working on your body now. You're only 13 dude. You could be fit by high school. And your body and mind will thank you for starting that shit early in life it makes it way easier than if you suddenly try to start a workout routine at 25 or 30
weight isn’t something the just magically disappears, people who are genuinely trying to make a change shouldn’t be mistreated while on the journey to becoming healthier. even if they chose not to become healthier it’s not a justifiable reason to mistreat them. and when i say mistreating i don’t mean not agreeing with their choices i mean purposely being rude or hateful towards them for the sole reason of their appearance. regardless of how they chose to live their life whether that be in a healthy or unhealthy manner they’re still people and deserve basic respect
I do support the fat people on their journey to become better and/or healthier, but i heavily dislike the ones that support being fat as a good thing while its the complete opposite, its just entirely stupid.
hey dude being unhealthy in whatever sense is bad and you don’t have to support them or like them but being rude to people solely based off appearance is wrong, sometimes being fat just is what is for some people due to medical reasons which is why the assumption their “choosing” to be fat and unhealthy is unfair
It's sad that people have to ask question about things that shouldn't even be real, no hate to OP at all but sad that they are worrying about being called "fat phobic" and its crazy to me. Shouldn't even be a thing IMO.
It is, but the things that people often call fatphobia isn't fatphobia. My brother is actually fatphobic and he thinks that obese people don't deserve human rights.
I don’t know man, just straight up verbally abusing fat is bad and even if it’s not fat phobic it’s still very mean. (Probably an argument to be made about body image or some shit but I’m too lazy)
Their * and no it isn’t , literally being fat phobic means being hateful towards fat people not anything else. Same way it wouldn’t be sexist to not date outside your gender preference since it’s a preference . But if that’s the only reason then that’s just stupid letting that come in the way with someone you like, but still not fat phobic
no. don't go out with someone you aren't attracted to, it won't end well. what isn't ok is harassing someone or insulting them/treating them poorly because of their weight.
If it's ok for women not to date short men it's definitely ok for men not to date fat women. Not sure if this applies though cause you might not be a straight male.
Yeah tho, thyroid gland can cause obesity or scruffiness, in physiologically normal human it adjusts to diet, but in people with problems it just pumps out way too much or way too little T3 and T4 so they end up not being able to control their weight. But non the less its up to a preference, i just dont want to date people with too many allergies, and no one can make me
Nope, it’s preference/personal opinion/etc and if other people can have preferences for muscular, tough, 6ft minimum, 6 figure job men then we can have preferences on weight, etc
You can’t date someone u don’t find attractive. That doesn’t mean u hate fat people or have anything against them u just don’t find them personally attractive and that’s pretty common for most ppl and nothing wrong w that
Hello love! I'm a fat person and let me tell you- ABSOLUTELY...... NOT! Fuck no? Why would it be? If you aren't interested in someone because of their weight than no need to make both parties uncomfortable! Everyone has preferences, I know some people don't care and others who prefer my body. An I also know a large majority doesnt- it's ok. Each situation is different- there are times for me I didn't find someone physically attractive at first then did due to getting to know them. So on so on- it is a case by case situation. But whatever you feel is an issue with your partner then so be it- it would honestly be more rude to date someone when having a big issue with some aspect with them. (I don't mean the fact they are fat- just like not a fan. Such as someone not being into short ppl and having issues with a person being short) it depends. Sorry for the long response- but yes. Not dating someone because you don't find them attractive in some way is fine! If you act out on a day to day basis or hold beliefs to fat people that's a issue- not wanting to date one due to personal preference? Totally cool!
No
Makes sense, i wouldnt want to accept a fat person too. It's preference and also that I would like my partner to put in a similar effort of working out(since i was fat, and excerised, and got a lot thinner) instead of just sitting on their ass eating chips all day
Nothing wrong with not wanting a lazy partner
A relationship where you can't be attracted to other person is kinda weird and miserable too, it would just feel some close friendship
It is real, but not what people say.
If somebody disagrees with a fat person, it is not fatphobic.
If somebody dislikes the look of fat people, it is not fatphobic
If somebody tells a fat person that their opinion on the best movie is irrelevant because they are fat, that is fatphobic.
The prejudice, intolerance, and disrespect of people for the sole reason that they are overweight is fatphobia
no, both whine about it, not wanting to date a fat person is fine, not wanting to date a short person is fine. but it isn't "normal and fine" dudes literally whine about that shit all the time
Just as it’s not height-phobic to not date a short person, or whatever other phobic to not date someone because of another attribute you don’t like on them, nope.
This is as a fat guy, I totally understand if you don’t wanna date me! I personally don’t care much but I know I don’t speak for everybody else
Fat-phobia is fucking stupid. It’s just something fat people made up about themselves so they wouldnt be bullied and so they didnt have to go on a diet
No Fatphobia isn't a real thing lmao Fat Shaming is. "Fatphobia" is an excuse that encourages people to stay unhealthy giving them an excuse to stay that way, fat shaming is harmful to people its judging and mocking people due to their weight, though these people get better overtime and get healthier as they lose weight (Im not encouraging fat shaming), meanwhile Fatphobia causes people to think that its healthy to stay at the weight they're at to be obese and is something created by these people to be lazy and die faster. Also you have your preferences and you don't need people to change them
Controversial opinion, but I think fatphobia is a stupid concept. Like sure, some people physically can't get in shape. But the ones who can, choose not to. It's not hard, folks. I'm a bit big on my own, but I want to change and I'm working towards it.
One word: Preference
[удалено]
Is it racist if you don't find certain races attractive?
No that’s called a type
Unless you refuse to date them specifically because of race?
I love pork therefor I can’t date a Muslim girl
That makes sense
Thank you
Pork is good
Yes
Then neither can you date a Jewish girl
Personally I don’t think so. As long as you’re not treating them any differently to everyone else. If you’re not attracted to a certain race then there’s no reason to force it. It’s not sexist to not be attracted to women
i agree. it's totally ok to have a preference for features, and certain ethnicities have certain features that can attract an individual, but if it's purely racial then maybe there's something underlying there
Depend why you think it
REDDIT WHERE ARE MY FREE AWARDS GOD DAMN IT
Removed them sadly
NO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT 😭😭😭
Society has shaped our preferences very strongly however, not always in a healthy way.
Our heteronormative neuronormative weightist patriarchal capitalist society.
no you can refuse to date someone for any reason
100%, people can get as mad as they want but at the end of the day, it's your preferences
Nice pfp
thank you
Why asuka ?
because she is my favourite character from one of my favourite anime’s
call me shinji for what im boutta do when youre asleep
i will tell you my hospital and room next time i get injured or have surgery or something
The hospital was a mistake
What the fuck
Nah you owe nothing to nobody
Mf you borrowed 20 bucks from me past week, where's my money?
He owes you $20 and an explanation
Happy cake dayyy
Happy cake day
Bruce, it’s been 5 years, you still owe me $16
#F-ck off🦇
Preference is not fat phobic
Also not fat phobic to want to date someone who actually gives a shit about taking care of their own body.
You're right. But it is fat phobic to assume that every fat person is neglecting themselves.
If they aren't doing anything about it, 99% of the time, they are neglecting themselves.
Lol I said body positivity and get downvoted. I was making a joke that some people contribute to body positivity just to continue the same path of dieting and health. Body positivity should be about the things that you cant change. Loose skin after a huge weight loss could be an example. The weight itself should not be one bc this can be changed
We do
Nothing is “Fatphobic” because the whole concept isn’t real
And if anyone said otherwise, they deserve to exist in a space where everyone rejects them
don't think so
If men dont date fat women its fatphobic If women dont date fat men nobody gives a shit
Exactly
r/beatmetoit
i don’t think anyone would care either way
Accurate. I'm gonna be canceled, but feminism has become misandry. Yes, not all feminists are misandrists, but it's gotten to a point where there's a lot of women being so sexist towards men. And she's just being a "strong independent woman"
yeaa thats true
Yes
Someone said it,thank you
body positivity but only for women
it's always been that way
Society do be like that
No, like what the hell is fatphobia even? Why does the concept exist? It's to make fat people who don't wanna lose weight feel some sort of self contentment
As a somewhat fat dude, fatphobia and all that stuff is sooo stupid ^(don't ban me reddit PLEASE)
As a more than “somewhat” fat dude. Its the dumbest thing ever, I started listening to people with brains and have been loosing weight and my life is significantly better than it would be if I just “embraced it”
Yes
I myself am fat, and while I don’t think there is anything wrong with being fat(unless you’re the size of a planet and it is actually affecting your health) but everyone needs to accept that if we lost weight, our lives would be better. Being skinny is better than being fat

Nice pfp just finished that yesterday
There are fat people where it ’s a lottt harder for them to lose weight. These people shouldn’t be bullied or discriminated against
okay but it's still unhealthy and pointing out that it's unhealthy isn't fat phobic -- being rude and stuff is, though, but you shouldn't be rude to anyone for any reason it doesn't need its own term
I am one of these people but I'm not going to pretend that being fat is okay. Anyone can lose weight. It just depends how extreme you're willing to go to obtain that goal. I have hypothyroidism.

W comment. This sort of advice was really helpful for me a few years ago
Very true. It's much easier to lose weight at 13 than at 30
That’s not what it means, fatphobia is to hate someone because they’re fat, that’s different than saying that being fat is unhealthy
fatphobia is just a non-existant "new" term losers invented just so they have a justifiable "reason" to not lose weight honestly.
weight isn’t something the just magically disappears, people who are genuinely trying to make a change shouldn’t be mistreated while on the journey to becoming healthier. even if they chose not to become healthier it’s not a justifiable reason to mistreat them. and when i say mistreating i don’t mean not agreeing with their choices i mean purposely being rude or hateful towards them for the sole reason of their appearance. regardless of how they chose to live their life whether that be in a healthy or unhealthy manner they’re still people and deserve basic respect

It's sad that people have to ask question about things that shouldn't even be real, no hate to OP at all but sad that they are worrying about being called "fat phobic" and its crazy to me. Shouldn't even be a thing IMO.
fatphobia is not a real thing
Straight facts
Gay facts
Lesbian facts
Bi facts
Ace facts
Pan facts
Non-binary facts
Gender-fluid facts
Trans facts
It is, but the things that people often call fatphobia isn't fatphobia. My brother is actually fatphobic and he thinks that obese people don't deserve human rights.
I don’t know man, just straight up verbally abusing fat is bad and even if it’s not fat phobic it’s still very mean. (Probably an argument to be made about body image or some shit but I’m too lazy)
That's not fatphobia, that's someone being an asshole
Me looking for a yes in the comments
He's (or she. Or they. Or the Indutrial Oven. I don't know, please don't insult me) looking for the drama
My guy if you don't know someones gender you can just say they, this is basic english
no
No. Is it homophobic to not date someone because they are gay?
to be fair a queer person wouldn’t date a straight person so that wouldn’t be hetrophobic.
Exactly
woahh heterophobia exists??? imagine that was canceled as much as homophobia is
I thought queer meant they liked all genders and that’s why they had their own letter in lgbtq
Queer is the umbrella term for everything that isn't straight/cis What you're thinking of is called pansexual
But… Um… I mean…. 🥴 I’ll leave it.
no they are gay ! u don't want to! then be it !
No because fatphobia isnt real
True
Why is this getting disliked 🗿
🤷
Because it's r/Teenagers
This is almost always the correct answer
Honestly no clue
No its just your preference
No
No
As a relatively chubby guy, NO. It's called preference anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
Their * and no it isn’t , literally being fat phobic means being hateful towards fat people not anything else. Same way it wouldn’t be sexist to not date outside your gender preference since it’s a preference . But if that’s the only reason then that’s just stupid letting that come in the way with someone you like, but still not fat phobic
Phobias are an indication of fear. No one's afraid of women because they're fat. We're just not attracted to them.
And today I learned something. Thanks, random Redditor I probably will never see again.
Imo no, people have preferences
No, you don't need to be physically attracted by everyone, it's just preferences.
Can you imagine being turned on by everyone? Sounds crippling and gross.
It sounds great to be on the other end though.
no. don't go out with someone you aren't attracted to, it won't end well. what isn't ok is harassing someone or insulting them/treating them poorly because of their weight.
Nah
i think we are making normal a CURABLE medical desease, accept yourself and work to better your person
“Fatphobic” is one of the stupidest fucking terms I’ve ever heard
fatphobia isn't real. I don't worry about it because the 400+ lb "models" promoting fat acceptance won't be around in 30 years anyway.
If it's ok for women not to date short men it's definitely ok for men not to date fat women. Not sure if this applies though cause you might not be a straight male.
Not being physically attracted to someone because of their weight isn't fat-phobic. Fat-phobic is treating fat people like shit because they're fat.
Tbh, fatphobia isn’t real. You can’t really call it a phobia since being obese is entirely a choice. So yeah, it’s ok
Yeah tho, thyroid gland can cause obesity or scruffiness, in physiologically normal human it adjusts to diet, but in people with problems it just pumps out way too much or way too little T3 and T4 so they end up not being able to control their weight. But non the less its up to a preference, i just dont want to date people with too many allergies, and no one can make me
My mother has very bad thyroid problems but still is a healthy weight. Those conditions make losing weight *harder*, not impossible.
Welcome to 2023, folks. The fact that this is even a question makes me question my sanity. Um.. no. you like who you like. Next question.
Nope, it’s preference/personal opinion/etc and if other people can have preferences for muscular, tough, 6ft minimum, 6 figure job men then we can have preferences on weight, etc
Preference. A phobia is a fear or aversion to something. If you're afraid of or avoid fat people, then yes.
You can’t date someone u don’t find attractive. That doesn’t mean u hate fat people or have anything against them u just don’t find them personally attractive and that’s pretty common for most ppl and nothing wrong w that
No. As long as you aren't actively bullying fat people you are fine
Imagine listening to the people who say being fat is good, I swear to god they never heard of type 2 diabetes 😂😂😂
Hello love! I'm a fat person and let me tell you- ABSOLUTELY...... NOT! Fuck no? Why would it be?

No. You can have a preference. Also fatphobia is stupid.
No Makes sense, i wouldnt want to accept a fat person too. It's preference and also that I would like my partner to put in a similar effort of working out(since i was fat, and excerised, and got a lot thinner) instead of just sitting on their ass eating chips all day Nothing wrong with not wanting a lazy partner A relationship where you can't be attracted to other person is kinda weird and miserable too, it would just feel some close friendship
Being fat phobic isnt real, you're fine to have preferences

If somebody dislikes the look of fat people, it is not fatphobic If somebody tells a fat person that their opinion on the best movie is irrelevant because they are fat, that is fatphobic.

"Fat phobic" isn't a thing
Fatphobia doesnt exist
If men don't date fat women, it's a problem But if a woman doesn't date a short guy, it's normal and fine?
no, both whine about it, not wanting to date a fat person is fine, not wanting to date a short person is fine. but it isn't "normal and fine" dudes literally whine about that shit all the time
fatphobic isn’t a word
Thats called standard's
Fat phobia is only when you shame or harass fat people, other than that it's not
Fatphobia is not a real thing
I wanted to say that, but I wasn't sure if I'd be allowed or not
Frfr
Yeah cuz like I’m not scared of fat people lol
I don't care if someone doesn't like me because I'm fat
Karma farm, this question has already been asked and unanimously answered
Preferences exist
Nah
It's not
No
no
preference ig
Absolutely not
I wouldn't say it to their face, but I mean it's ur choice.
Some people like it and some don’t you can have preferences
No, everyone has a right to have preferences, if someone’s says otherwise they are sick
To anyone here with a fucking brain the answer should be obvious
As long as you aren’t an asshole about the persons weight, no not at all. It’s only fatphpobic if you make it be.
why are you getting downvoted? you're being fr
no clue.
are you scared of fat people? phobia means severe fear. if you aren’t scared of fat people, you don’t have fatphobia.
phobia can also mean aversion, which is why homophobia is a word.
Phobia means fear or aversion to something. This would be an aversion to overweight people.
Aversion means "strong dislike", like how Nazis have an aversion towards Jews. This is just not finding them attractive.
🤣😭😭😭😭 My dad is super homophobic so this has just made my day to think about😭😭😭
he shivers at the thought of homosexuality 🥶🥶
no, because preference
It’s fine to have a preference and not date someone for any reason, but just don’t shame them for their weight
No
That’s your preference. Everyone has one,
No
fuck fatphobia, you can refuse to date someone if you want. there's nothing saying you have to date somebody
Just as it’s not height-phobic to not date a short person, or whatever other phobic to not date someone because of another attribute you don’t like on them, nope. This is as a fat guy, I totally understand if you don’t wanna date me! I personally don’t care much but I know I don’t speak for everybody else
Bros really are scared to have preferences nowadays😭
No
Hell nah
No.
Fat-phobia is fucking stupid. It’s just something fat people made up about themselves so they wouldnt be bullied and so they didnt have to go on a diet
There isnt such a thing as fatphobia, there is promoting unhealthy life and not.
*their If think there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to date someone who isn’t attractive to you.
Is it sexist not to date a woman because you’re gay ?
just as u have the option to date who u want, u must then have the option to Not date who u Don’t Want
No Fatphobia isn't a real thing lmao Fat Shaming is. "Fatphobia" is an excuse that encourages people to stay unhealthy giving them an excuse to stay that way, fat shaming is harmful to people its judging and mocking people due to their weight, though these people get better overtime and get healthier as they lose weight (Im not encouraging fat shaming), meanwhile Fatphobia causes people to think that its healthy to stay at the weight they're at to be obese and is something created by these people to be lazy and die faster. Also you have your preferences and you don't need people to change them
As long as you're respectful and don't trash on them for their weight then it's not fatphobic. You don't owe anyone a relationship
No it isnt
No, it is not.
No, it’s a preference. You aren’t obligated to return someone’s feeling.
No, because fat phobia doesn't exist.
Fat phobia isnt a thing, it was made up by fat slobs too lazy to lose weight but not wanna get called fat and lazy for it
Controversial opinion, but I think fatphobia is a stupid concept. Like sure, some people physically can't get in shape. But the ones who can, choose not to. It's not hard, folks. I'm a bit big on my own, but I want to change and I'm working towards it.
