I don't have a problem with someone being obese I just don't think in the star trek future anyone would be obese

@sun@shitposter.world And what makes you think we're heading towards a Star Trek future and not a Wall-E future?

@SuperDicq @sun star trek always got weird about pretending injuries didn't exist but then also casually having neuroprosthetics but then not wanting to realize the implication of neuroprosthetics.

@icedquinn @SuperDicq I wouldn't think anyone would be bald either but they said that people just don't care if they bald. but like obesity causes huge health risks. they would eliminate it

@sun @SuperDicq i think the whole discourse of `morbid obesity is fine actually` is from beauty companies trying to salvage customers out of an obesity epidemic. apparently the actual history of body positivity traces back to birth marks and physical defects.

obesity is heavily metabolic dysregulation, though its conceivable that they might still have some plush people (because SOME body fat is actually within human norms even in ancient times)

@icedquinn @SuperDicq yeah it definitely is that

body positivity can also be "it's ok to have paunch" like there has historically been mistreatment of women who weren't rail-thin or met hollywood beaty standards.

@sun @icedquinn @SuperDicq

>historically

lol

There are 400 year old letters between guys in Germany complaining about the women in their town looking like horses and whar to do about it.

@CapitalB@noauthority.social @sun@shitposter.world @icedquinn@blob.cat He's American so he thinks history started in the 18th century.

@SuperDicq @icedquinn @CapitalB there are differences in beauty standards from 1950s to today, trending way thinner, even unhealthily thin. that is what i am talking about

Yes rail thin women were never attractive historically.

@Dudebro @icedquinn @SuperDicq @CapitalB it is a thing that changes, some cultures and times prefer thick women
