What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Sure.

But that doesn't mean go out and harass fat people. Trust me we fucking know. You can't lose weight instantly. Some of us may actually be working on it.

Also fat people have the right to be happy. People hating on "happy at any size" is just being assholes for the sake of it.

I don't believe that anybody deep down is happy at being fat. That's a lie and they know it.

Nobody I know who's lost weight has said they were happy with the Extra weight.

Oh I've actually been told by fat people that there's no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I'm forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.

Guess it's weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with you. I don't go out of my way to hurt big people and I don't outwardly do so on ourpose. I just have to catch my initial bias and push it aside first, which I'm working on, I know it's a me thing, for sure.

I agree "happy at any size" can be an acceptable attitude, for sure, but I disagree with "healthy at any size". Obesity puts stress on organs and body parts, simply just because of the extra weight, even if everything else is fine.
