    I’ve argued with people who claimed being overweight isn’t bad for your health. It’s not a common position, but it’s not exactly a strawman either. It’s more like focusing on the crazies.

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

        The meme says on Twitter, the place you can find every extreme and shitty opinion blasted loud and proud

          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.
