I know where you're coming from, but in general "the world being unsuitable" is people lacking empathy and/or bullying people for being overweight. At least that's what I mostly hear about, overweight people complaining about social pressure.

And sure there are a lot of overweight people who for some reason feel compelled to constantly rationalize their life choices to people who didn't ask, but then again if this is the problem so are there a lot of other people from every other group that people regularly critique that do the same.

But with that being said I think we should point out that as there are few other "groups" one could join voluntarily and the "affiliation" with which is so immediately recognizable to anyone just by looking at you, that I do think overweight people receive a disproportional amount of critique compared to for example smokers. Statistically speaking smoking is more unhealthy and globally it's even more prevalent than eating unhealthy, but when was the last time you heard someone was getting bullied for lighting a cigarette?

Well I agree with around half of what you've just said. Being obese isn't healthy and everyone who is obese should know that. When people use body positivity to justify the fact that they don't care about their health they are obviously wrong. What body positivity is about is that people have the right to make decisions over their own bodies and other people should respect that and be emphatetic. Bullying people isn't being empathetic. I, who normally doesn't like to use the body shaming arguement felt compelled to write my comment, because I felt that where this post came from also lacked said empathy.

Well after watching it I do find the whole thing a bit silly, but overall I don't think it conveys a harmful message in any way.

yeah sure it's like that somewhere but I would be surprised to see it in top search results

not only ai slop, also body shaming

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

you should feel ashamed for this comment

I looked at this with suspicion, decided it wasn't AI, then I went into the comments and got convinced otherwise. It's scary.

the problem isn't the third arm, or the multitude of fingers on the third picture for that matter, it's the very fact that this is AI

it's probably been at least a year since when I first saw this and I still can't... can't put it into words what I can't put into words
