Of all the insane social justice movements, the "health privilege" crowd is the most maddening.
Nah. The people screaming "cultural appropriation" are worse. Especially when they bitch about white women twerking. Mind you, nobody, white or black, should twerk. You look like a twerp when you twerk.

Fuck it, I'm fat and I know I'm not healthy because of it.

That being said not all fat people are unhealthy.  What matters more is exercise and diet, not how much fat you have.  It seems like fatness would follow that but not always, as is in some genetic related conditions.

Also people calling non-fat people fat can go to hell.  Seriously.

Actually the people who bring it up in the first place.  Unlike smoking, I'm not infecting you with my second-hand fatness.  My health is actually none of your business, and I don't need your condescending "concern".  You're only going to make things worse for me by trying to bring it up.

Not to mention 90% of the time it's just hecklers looking for a cheap laugh rather than anyone actually concerned.  And funnily enough, a lot of these hecklers are, themselves, fat.

To me, "Fat Acceptance" doesn't mean "BEING FAT IS A GOOD THING", but rather "Some of us can't help it, others can but need help, and quite frankly, it's none of your business.  Also, stop calling body types that don't actually have much in the way of fat, "Fat", it's erroneous.

Also, eating disorders are a thing.  Food addiction is a thing.  And unlike smoking, food is everywhere, it's actually the center of our culture, right next to pop culture.  You can't escape food commercials, food ads, people eating food.  At least with smoking they actually banned cigarette ads."

I've seen several people try to justify other people's obesity as being their business because they have to pay for it in taxes.

That's actually followed by a pretty good point, but I think that part is funny.

True. I want to make a post about how democratic nations are appropriating Greek culture or something similar.

I actually think that anti-appropriation bloggers usually have good points to make - for instance, against white people appropriating a sacred Native American ritual and completely bastardizing it in the process to make money.

The only instance in which I give a shit about appropriation is when it's actively promoting an offensive image of the culture. For instance, "Indian" mascots that act like savages, or blackface.

Exactly what I feel, too. Having a bastardized version of a native American warrior as a "redskin" or "Indian" is insulting. having a genuine and respectful fascination with the culture is not.

The thing is, even if you just use a certain article of clothing, or jewelry, or tattoo, or whatever the fuck, with no motive besides "it's kinda cool," & no context, people call that racist.

'Course, others have made the argument that this is actually acceptance, & is something to be desired.

True. But then you get the crazies who basically object to anyone partaking in any cultural activity that didn't originate with their culture.

I'll be honest, the anti-appropriation crowd would probably hate me. I have dream catchers, I believe in having an animal totem (Wolf), and I'm European. I carry the same respect for animals and nature that Native Americans do.

Am I being offensive? If you're thin-skinned. If you're intelligent you'll recognize I have a legitimate interest in the culture.

appropriating a sacred Native American ritual and completely bastardizing it in the process to make money.

Yep. And on top of perpetuating stereotypes and using religion as a means to cash in, many of these plastic shaman have seriously injured or killed people while attempting to perform cheap knockoffs of Native rituals (sweat lodges, vision quests, etc.)

Also, I can completely understand why Natives are hurt and offended when people turn sacred regalia (warbonnets, etc.) into a fashion trend (which I wouldn't call racist so much as tacky and kind of insensitive) or dress up as caricatures of them for Halloween (which *is* racist).

That being said, purchasing things like dream catchers and moccasins isn't offensive.

The only way you can avoid cultural appropriation is to look back at the very ass end of your heritage, back to prehistoric times, and exclusively live your life as a nomadic hunter-gatherer.
