HONEST Reactions to “Fat Acceptance” TikToks w/ HRH Collection
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2022
- Why is our society suddenly pretending like being obese is perfectly healthy in order to avoid hurting people’s feelings? Today, I’m joined by RUclipsr Alex Pierce, also known as HRH Collection, to watch TikToks promoting the “body positivity” or “fat acceptance” movement and give our honest reactions.

This nonsense reached the ultimate level of madness for me when Adele was severely criticized for LOSING weight.
But she said she lost weight for health reasons and because of a divorce.
@@itskitty808 still what is the reason for being upset at someone losing weight?
omg YESSS. like excuse me now at least we have her amazing voice for longer because she finally prioritized her health
I remember people saying she ruined her voice because she lost weight... like what?
And Lizzo. So she gained the weight back and then some. So sad
I think accepting being fat with no shame is pretty normal. What is not normal is denying the health consequences of being outta shape.
Shame can be good in some instances .
@@josephdell8056 rarely.
People should be ashamed if they were cruel, if they stole something, hurt someone, lied etc, etc.
In the case of being fat, I don't know if shame is needed, but those who promote it as a healthy way of life should definitely feel ashamed because even if they are trying to be kind they are sending people to early graves.
Being fat is unhealthy. It just is. Same as smoking, drinking excessively, or being a total slut who sleeps with everyone and anyone. These things should be stigmatized, but that doesn't mean the people are bad or are worthless, they often suffer from addictions and need help. BUT that does not mean they should be praised and celebrated.
Boom. Instant logic.
It is not normal to be big and feel no shame about it I was 280 lb 511 my doctor told me I was obese and it was bad for my health six months later I was 207 it's not hard to lose weight we just make it up excuses as to why we don't when we should be doing it for the betterment of our health and so we can live longer to be there for our family and kids if you feel no shame for ur unhealthy lifestyle... you're selfish
Being fat doesn’t mean that you are less worthy as a human being. You still deserve love and respect. Also - being overweight or obese doesn’t mean you’re healthy or you should always be that way.
There’s no thin privilege, there’s fat disadvantage. There’s a difference. There are things that people can’t do due to their weight - having children, going upstairs, riding a carousel
"There’s no thin privilege, there’s fat disadvantage" i gotta remember this statement that's brilliant
Actually I disagree on the thin privilege, the obvious common sense reason is it’s attractive.
@@DX-d again, I think they are right when there is no thin privilege. There might be a preference for thinner bodies, but that's not your privilege, that's just someone else have preferences. There is fat disadvantage because you just cant do all the things thinner people can. Some people have different preferences.
You started out great than really fell off, like can’t go upstairs is just fucking awful.
@@DX-d fat disadvantage in most cases is a choice (excluding people who have medical or mental conditions which make them overweight). therefore, you can't say that there is thin privilege.
I knew a female college student in my dorm. She had a major metabolic disorder. She was so thin, think death camp thin. People talked about her all the time. If food was missing from the fridge, she must have taken it. She had bullimia, etc. In reality she had a port where she put this slim-fast looking liquid into it. She didn't have the ability to eat real food. She didn't even finish the semester because she was talked about so much. It's been over 30 years and I still remember her. People can be so cruel over things people can't control.
Yes, but having a metabolic disorder is different than people eating huge portions and junk food.
@@thegrumpyhorticulturist but how would you know if the person infront of you have a metabolic disorder, eating disorder or as you say - just eating junk food? You can not know. So maybe ppl should treat each other nicer since there is no way to know the background of their situation.
@@Nettiaz EXACTLY my point. Saying people are just lazy and eat a lot is an oversimplification. But most of the world is perfectly content to fat shame and that’s why the reaching mindset of “acceptance, I’m still healthy & beautiful” movement is on the rise. The extremes on either side are gross.
@@thegrumpyhorticulturist If you can stop when you're eating and therefore don't gain weight, you won't get these people, and you're not better than them. You live completely different lives and you're in no place to give them advice about eating habits. If you're happy w how you are it's not because some stranger told you how to do it, it's because you wanted it for yourself. So let's be kind to people so that they love living enough to want to make it better for themselves.
@@thegrumpyhorticulturist just because someone is fat doesn't automatically mean they eat huge portions, there's disorders that make you gain a lotta weight like PCOS and hypothyroidism. it seems that the majority of fat pple are indeed eating huge portions, but there's a minority that doesn't, so we shouldn't make assumptions
I let myself go after having kids. I'm 100 pounds overweight, and I realized after going to a restaurant and barely fitting in the booth that I needed to do something about it. It never crossed my mind that my weight was someone else's problem; I would actually be embarrassed to do what these people do.
A lot of us struggle after having kids. It's tough! I get what you're going through. I hate how my clothes fit and it's hard not to be self conscious. Its a little cliche but knowing there's a problem is a huge step in the right direction. Clearly these people are okay where they're at.
That because you are not a narcissist and you care about the people around you
I totally relate! I just posted above. I’m 80lbs heavier than I was before kids and I feel disgusting 😢 but I want to fix it and I’m not using it as my identity
It's so cringe. I've struggled with weight my whole life. Being fat isn't comfortable or healthy.
@@divinelov3777 I know exactly how you feel, you're not alone on this and don't let anyone tell you to settle. Get to whatever weight you're comfortable at. And do it for you. 👍
I understand the message, we can't just do away with scientific truth but also we don't have to talk about fat people like they are disgusting and expect them to just be okay with being being spoken about that way. We can be truthful without being cruel.
Yep, health is good. Being an ass on an airplane, however, does not make a productive contribution to the problem, and can do the opposite by making people dig in to psychologically defend themselves.
Please, give us an example of being “truthful without being cruel”. Is there really a “nice” way to tell the truth?
@@qmulus1
I don't know the co-hosts name, but she was just blatantly cruel & rude. She said she used to be fat because she was 40 lbs heavier so that gives her the right to say what she said LOL. That is not the same as being so big that you have to buy an extra airplane seat! To say fat people are lazy and disgusting and ugly makes HER look ugly and disgusting. All this "skinny privilege" and "fat privilege" is ridiculous, but her comments were out of line. If she would have directed her comments toward the people in those videos that would have been different, but she referred to fat people in general, and while a lot of them ARE lazy, some are not.
@@RainyDayz1991 Once again, is there really a “nice” way to tell the truth? Some might accuse you of being mean for even saying some fat people are lazy.
@@qmulus1
You are correct that there's no "nice" way to tell the truth, but that doesn't mean she should be blatantly cruel & disgusting!
I think people don’t owe you anything but still showing basic human decency should be the bare minimum.
Exactly! There’s no reason to be rude if someone is heavier than you.
The thing is a lot of people don’t actually show basic human decency because they think it’s the right thing to do but more of how this act of decency would make them look, therefore they wouldn’t show much human decency to a fat individual because less people care for them, and less people would think they’re assholes for mistreating the fat person. These types of people are not the types you would want to be friends with, These two idiots in this video is a pretty good example
Amala has been a breath of fresh air surrounding many topics. But just after the first clip, I'm astonished at the lack of empathy. There's no reason to be cruel and publicly humiliate someone.
I thought exactly the same thing. I love these podcasts and the discourses round these topics, but for the first clip I didn't feel like she was trying to be "woke". She had a genuinely bad experience and anyone should be allowed to complain about wrong/unfair treatment.
@@chiomaloveschimmy4147 . Someone needs to keep it real, Amala is keeping it Real
@@bernadettesolomons1870This was not "keeping it real". She totally ignored the gratuitous, cruel and unnecessary rudeness of the passenger who changed her seat. Her loud expression of relief was meant to humiliate the obese girl -- gratuitous cruelty.
@@bernadettesolomons1870 there is a difference between being real and laughing at someone. You can be real without being cruel.
yeah for real, TBH I stopped watching as soon as she said fat people are just lazy, a number of factors can make people gain weight, and same factors can also make weight loss an issue.
One time I was in the window seat and this bigger guy was seated next to me. He sat down after me and was like "hey are you ok? I don't want you to feel crowded or uncomfortable cuz I'm so big" I said "as long as you don't mind me bumping you" he laughed saying ok, I laughed. We had a great 4 hour flight and even watched a movie together. What a miracle 😂😂😂
This! Self awareness is the answer to the problems in society today. When we do the inward work to be better we see a better world around us. He was aware of himself and the space he takes up in the world and instead of projecting his insecurities he accepted, and acknowledged them, allowing him to consider not just himself but how it effects others.
I think there's toxicity happening on both sides. There's a difference between honesty and beating someone over the head with what you perceive as being their problem.
What's the other side?
@@robinhuff1867 There's the podcast side and the fat acceptance side.
True HRH is just being rude
@@jeneveuxpasdiremonnom1198 ...it's not rude for obese people to publicly shame innocent people who spent hundreds of dollars on travel to not want to be uncomfortable and touching someone's body against their will for hours and hours? Think about what you're saying. In this context saying these people are disgusting isn't bullying AT ALL...it's bullying to get off your flight and make a self entitled tiktok about how you're so fat your body once again TOUCHES PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR WILL and about how it's THEIR fault and they should be happy and pleased to endure this. Stop it.
Being fat is bad. Period. End of discussion. Nothing else to be said. Stop the shyt. OBESITY IS DISGUSTING.
I’ve recently lost weight and I was never fat but chubby and now I look fairly fit like I train martial arts almost everyday for at least two hours. People have been telling me that I’ve done so well to lose weight and I might look healthy but what everyone else doesn’t see is that I still feel just as ugly as ever, I stopped getting my period over 7 months ago and all the restricting of foods left me with an eating disorder. You really can’t tell if someone is healthy just by their weight.
Oh my sweet dear!! This absolutely this is why I am furious with Jordan Peterson over his tweet about the Sports Illustrated cover. I don't expect anyone to change their preference for me because there have always been men who've been attracted to me. I don't care!! What took me years was to accept myself whether or not I managed to loose my poochie belly or not. I've had some health issues and I've had to double down on eating better and moving more. Still not moving the scale much but my mood is better. The point is I had to change the inside before I could work on the outside. Focus on the beauty you are and be gentle with her. That's been a big thing for me, learning to be gentle with myself. Also, food is medicine and I have to work around my ADD and not against it. If I straight up deny myself something, it's all I want, however I give myself permission and then ask myself do I really want it? No? Ok, cool. Or, yeah? Ok go ahead. I feel I have a much healthier relationship with food than a lot of thinner people, they just have much better metabolisms. If we have donuts at work, I'll cut one in half or just eat a quarter cause then I get to enjoy the taste and texture without adding to much junk to my diet, but I'm not feeling upset or deprived. I struggle with low energy a lot but moving helps except I have a desk job and that hurts. I try little hacks all the time and I mix them up. I do what I can and I stop criticizing myself for what I can't. I hope you find your balance, I've had a lot of success with affirmations and mantras, repeating them until I believed them. Thank you for speaking up about judging without true knowledge.
How does this contradict the fact that you cannot be healthy while being fat? After 30 clearly.
@@melissawerner6309 Jordan is a God.
@@gloriaregali9090 No, he's a man who makes mistakes and is imperfect and says the wrong thing with the right intentions and contradicts his own values, just like everyone else. He was wrong in that moment.
You can be honest and upfront without being rude, there I see it😲🙊
I don't think anyone should be praised or "accept" fat as being ok, but I draw the line with personal attacks or making fun of overweight folks especially to their face. In my personal opinion thats uncalled for besides just making someone else feel bad, its just bad decorum.
She was fat.
@mj is goat grow up
@mj is goat bullying makes it worse encouraging to lose weight is better
I have an issue with the fat acceptance movement, but there is a difference between fat acceptance and being kind to people. You NEVER KNOW what happened to a person and why they are overweight. There is absolutely no reason to be mean to people.
I usually love your videos. This one I had to turn off after 3 minutes… can’t stomach the mean girl mentality.
the issue isn't about accepting that they're fat, its the entitlement attitude of thinking everything is about you. Like they said, they were touching her only as a side effect of actually looking for their damn seat belt, they weren't trying to touch her on purpose. Or the not recognizing that their much larger size is encroaching on the paid space that other people occupy. I've seen some people trying to work in an engine room who were severely obese, and looking at the emergency escape hatches, no way they would fit. I am NOT compromising MY safety because someone else is blocking the emergency exit, and physically cannot fit.
You're missing the point. These individuals are weaponizing being overweight. They turn it into victimhood, they turn it into a cudgel, they use it to get their way. Nobody should be mean to anyone, but nobody should accept these idiots wallowing in their self-created problems.
I can handle it because I’m not fat and disgusting
@@Meg-cc6yc I can tell you're a miserable person. people who are happy with themselves don't tear apart other people. people who truly like themselves don't feel the need to judge other people and put them down. ill pray for you
@@Meg-cc6yc omg so quirky
I’m all for people bettering their health. But this is the wrong angle. Period. You could have tackled this better.
People who are depressed is not a choice. People who are anxious isn’t a choice. If that certain person chooses eating as coping mechanism. Don’t you dare judge.
So they need help, they are not happy as they say
You can chose how you cope with things though. Food as a coping skill is unhealthy. I say this as someone who choose food as a coping skill due to trauma and mental illness. Trauma and mental illness does not excuse us from taking personal responsibility.
@@Angi3_6 Yes!! The same we can say about automutilation, it is not healthy, it is not beautiful and you're just in pain trying to embrace the consequence instead of fighting for your own well-being
Their point is, obesity should not just be accepted, let alone normalized. We as a society value health deeply and that should be reflected in encouraging people who are not healthy, to get there. Obviously they’re not saying people should be bullied for being overweight because that’s just malicious but people reserve the right to judge others who aren’t healthy. That is an important distinction.
I'm not gonna lie, when my sister who was chubby lost a LOT of weight due to calorie counting and watching the types of food she ate, I was very annoyed. Everything was, "how many calories is that?" "I can't eat that part but I can eat this one". Eventhough she's normal now she hasn't stopped.
But then I realised, even for normal weight people those are important things to watch our for! I've been normal weight all my life but my blood tests, hair loss, broken nails and peeling skin show I'm an awful eater :/
So it's not even fat phobia or eating disorder, it's just normal common sense to look at what you eat. I'm working on introducing variety to my meals and keeping up with supplements.
I'm glad a good amount of people in the comment section are calling this video out.
You can call out fat acceptance without dehumanizing fat people. People have messed up relationships with food for a variety of reasons and if anything these people need words of encouragement.
Go look at the picture of the fattest man in the world in 1890 and then make a list of all the people you know today that are as big or bigger than he is. Why? Because when you try to be "nice" you're actually being cruel. You need to understand reality and you're not in it if you think these two girls are out of line.
Completely agree. Too many people in their lives have been negative influences. There are some serious health problems that come with obesity that keep you from enjoying life.
Yes, I just commented my thoughts exactly. This is such a damaging video and it almost brings me to tears
@@kallioperobling3359 more because of all the additives in our food today
agreed
Okay, I’m just going to say this isn’t okay. The fat people movement is wrong, and the way these girls are talking about them is wrong. We should approach topics with more sensitivity on both sides. Period. -there’s room to be nice and speak truth at the same time
YESSSSSS I AGREE. There’s a way to get your point across without being brutal. You can be honest and respectful at the same time. The hateful tone sounds personal and very juvenile.
This!!! I was appalled to see how cruel she was being. People think there is no nice way to say this and it saddens me that people genuinely don't know how to be gentle without sacrificing truth!! I think the fat acceptance movement is going too far but there IS a way to talk about it that treats people like humans with respect, gentleness, and kindness. I'm pretty sure you can deliver your opinion without calling someone "ugly" and "lazy."
No. People wants us to be okay and just coddle everyone. WE ARE TIRED OF LIVING IN YOUR DELUSIONAL SOFT WORLD
@@jaxzelparedes5174 there is no reasons to be rude like them tho
ah yes, people wanting to accept and embrace not only their bodies but other peoples bodies are wrong…💀nice one Kendall.
I’m skinny and never want to be fat, but I do feel bad for the first girl that she ended up crying
This is the first time I have been disappointed with Amala. You completely overlooked the fact that people were completely rude to that woman.
She doesn't care. She's also being wildly presumptuous and rude to this poor woman too.
I agree and not everyone is capable of losing the weight. Some have thyroid issues, or medications, or other medical issues.
This turned me right off.
Very sad this video was.
@@Dustanneso why does that not occur in Africa and Asia and other non first world countries?
@@LaoWatsonSmith I am not sure what you mean
@@LaoWatsonSmithin many western countries, and prinarily the U.S. there are a multitude of factors that contribute to the obesity epidemic, in addition to or instead of just over eating. Our foods are highly processed and full of toxic ingredients that cause illneses in the body that can cause or contribute to obesity, such as seed oils, and high fructose corn syrup to name just a couple. Our pharmaceutical industry doesn't help matters any either as many medications interfere with ournatural metabolism.. Not to mention, the part of our culture that does finally speak to try to impact for increased health with regards to metabolic issues is relatively ill informed. Medical practitioners still recommended caloric restriction, low fat diets, and exercise as THE way to lose weight, not taking into account how this negatively affects many if not most trying to lose weight. In other countries you eat whole foods, meat, ghee, butter, veggies, and the body thrives. It's simple, and yet seemingly not.
Okay, these chicks kind of brought it on themselves for trying to play the victim card but at the same time if I close my eyes and don't see the guest I would have guessed a shallow valley girl was talking. Just saying.
And? She is. lol
That's kind of her brand. She doesn't care. She embraces it.
Right. Most of her videos along with pragerU, at least the shorts I have watched, have so many holes.
Really both sides are fucked up
@@jayde.moonstone.6458 She should get a personality that isn't destructive, blonde, cis het white girl.
@@jayde.moonstone.6458 if being fat isn’t something to embrace then being a horrible person certainly isn’t either.
acknowledging that people are overweight is totally okay since anyone with eyes can clearly see that but there's no need to make comments calling them ugly and telling them to go eat a donut. Slightly inhumane
But they are ugly and unhealthy
This is just meanness being masked behind concern.
Exactly, thank you
You're being really sensitive, there are much much meaner videos on this
You think they’re mean, and I think the girls from the tik tok videos are mean. To each their opinions.
You know what's mean? Encouraging bad behaviors that will inevitably shorten people's lives because you're afraid to hurt their feelings
Somebody said it
It seems so thoughtless and naïve to think "I was fat because I was lazy so therefore everyone who's fat... is just lazy! 😃" If it was that simple, how did you let yourself get to that point in the first place?
Thank you for saying that!
“I used to be fat, 40 pounds heavier.” Lol. So you weren’t fat fat, just a normal fluctuating woman. Also the first story was genuinely a little sad. They didn’t have to be that mean.
I'm assuming she means 40 pounds overweight
I doubt the reality of that story, she probably showed up, felt that perception and started having an attitude, the other two probably wanted to be moved so they wouldn't have to deal with her narrative.
40 pounds is NOT fluctuation jesus christ people like you are why people think Americans are deluded
I’ve fluctuated only by 15 pounds and that’s only because my diet change going to college, and then I counted calories to loose that weight and watched my diet more. I don’t think it should be normal to “fluctuate” much at all in body weight, certainly not by 40 pounds! Only exception would be pregnancy.
LOL is that what we've come to in this society; 40 pounds heavier on her body is "normal healthy fluctations"...she was literally overweight/borderline obese...sad people think that overweight and obese is normal now
If you’re big, and you’re struggling, you’re not gross or lazy. Just keep doing your best. It’s not easy for everyone. Especially if you’re older, on medication, or what have you. I even know vegan people who struggle. However, I don’t think it’s cool to choose to be unhealthy.
Most people who are obese overeat. And no being obese is not healthy. But no, we cannot assume that overweight people are lazy.
The majority is due to over eating. I have fat friends and they all eat way too much. Being fat depressed people too… they are NOT happy with their body, but they choose to not be disciplined and stick to a healthy diet. That’s 100% on them and we have discussed it. They are my friends and I speak from a position of love, and because I love them all, I will not lie to them. They know it’s true and don’t hate me for it either. 🤷 it is what it is.
I'll give you gross but they are or at the very least were lazy.
@@michaelrandall7667 Some are lazy 💯. But to generalize it and say ALL of them, I’d have to be an idiot. I’d have to be asleep, self centered, and just out of it. I’m slim and trim and take care of myself. But I also see the struggle of others. The medication that blows them up in months. The pain that prevents them from moving. I see them.
@@trinivegan7649 Some humans only have one arm BUT humans have 2 arms. There are plenty of times when generalizing is perfectly rational as any mature adult understands there are always outliers in every generalization. Generalization is only negative when it's irrational. The vast majority of people who are overweight are lazy. That's an objective fact. Sure 1% or so literally can not help it which is sad but you're doing nobody any favors by leading people who can help it to believe they are helpless. I think your avoiding the uncomfortably of being offensive and thinking that's empathy. To tell an overweight person "you are fine the way you are" is literally hurtful to them even if telling them they are not fine hurts their feelings. Would you tell a drug addict "if doing heroin makes you happy, you do what ever make you happy"? No its horrible for them, and even though it's going to be very hard to change and they don't want to hear it you tell them "your messing up and you really should change that".
Blair White had this same guest on her podcast and it was just unnecessarily mean. A similar thing has happened here. Surely we can approach the suboptimal health and life consequences of excessive weight, whilst still speaking to people with respect and kindness.
Totally can but decisively do not with Alex from HRH. This is her brand she’s cut throat and severe but we love it, it’s required some ppl need to be thrown into an ice bath of criticism to grow thicker skin. It is what it is
also let’s be honest at the end of the day this is just giving the woke left a taste of their own medicine; they are the most sensitive yet most toxic community well we can be responsive and it hurts their feelings that’s perfectly okay with me:
She’s being truthful though. The truth hurts. It’s hurts bad
@@emilytreu2312 There are certain things women go through that cause depression and it is common in raped women. Depression is high and stress causes Depression. Stress can keep weight on regardless of what you do.
@Shamar (Hebrew) um no, don't bring that into here. It is not relevant. Most overweight/obese people today are not big because of genetics/trauma/etc. They are big because they consume more than they burn. This is true for 90% of them. That's it, full stop. Anything else is weak fatlogic
I used to be fat, and yes, I ate a lot and had little willpower to change it, but *I HAD DEVELOPED A SEVERE BINGE EATING D!SORDER DUE TO BEING AB*SED AND GROWING UP IN A TOXIC HOUSEHOLD IN WHICH FOOD WAS MY ONLY WAY TO COPE*. I finally was able to loose weight and become so much happier and healthier after I moved out and was able to recover mentally from all that trauma. The fact that this disgusting woman whom Amala brought on the show is calling all fat people lazy and ugly is horrible. Yes, the people in the videos they watched were highly entitled, but that is no reason to shame ALL fat people, because I know from experience that so many of them are NOT lazy and trying so, so hard to become healthier human beings (and most of them DO get there) and what that lady is saying could absolutely destroy someone's resolve to change their lifestyle.
I was a thin and attractive woman until I hit menopause and gained 30 lbs overnight. The way people treat me differently now is chilling, as is the cruelty displayed here. I truly hope you young ladies can put yourself in someone else’s shoes for just a moment. You don’t know the struggles of others or what you may face in the future. It took me decades to learn that.
Hello, I truly feel for you. It must be so hard to face that kind of change through no fault of your own. You deserve to be accepted as you are.
If it makes a difference, I don't think the ladies here are for making fun of people who are fat. They are just against the movement wherein unhealthy obese women try to force the world to conform to them with the notion that being fat is a *good* thing, so much, that any criticism against an unhealthy weight, even encouraging health is percieved as injustice. I hope you will start seeing yourself as beautiful again either way. Have a good week!
The one girl here used to be very overweight, seemingly more than you are now. The harsh truth here is for 99% of people being overweight is a choice, even for you. Everyone blows up as they get older. You are than faced with a decision, either accept it or change your lifestyle to make up for changes in your body so you can loose the weight. Everyone is welcome to choose whichever path that makes them happy but when the path you choose doesn't make you happy thats no one's fault but your own and no one should have to tip toe around that. The problem here I think is people like you and the fatt acceptance people is telling others that this is out of their control. It may not be easy or enjoyable at first but it is in your control and frankly n your best interest.
It’s typically your hormones that are the cause of that. But that can be managed with lifestyle changes and a trip to the doctor for hormone testing. There are things you can do. But I do understand that not all causes are due to simply being lazy like most people. Best of luck to you!
one girl was speaking from experience
But these people have a choice. Eating healthy won’t make you obese and doing a little extricate won’t hurt either. These people in the videos are rather young also
The question I ask myself is "Do you know any fat 90 year olds?" And it's enough to make me not want to let myself go
@Sue Sue the person who commented this was referring to the fact that if you’re extremely obese, that your lifespan will most likely shorten.
Oh wow I’ve never heard thought of that
@Sue Sue no 60 and 70 year olds not 90 year olds
@YuFeng
I've never thought of it like that. That works!
i dont wanna be 90 tho ngl
This video has mean girl vibes. I’m a skinny woman and I would never sit around and laugh at someone telling the story we heard from the first woman who was on the airplane. This was just not necessary.
I find Alex so hateful honestly. It made me cringe how she referred to people as fat and ugly and she thought she ATE.
I was 121 pounds before a doctor put me on medicine that skyrocketed my weight to 185 pounds, and once he changed my medicine to something else my weight went up to 230 pounds. This was so embarrassing for me and I got off of the medicine, and the good thing is the weight easily came off to where I lost 85 pounds without trying, and I’ve lost more weight since then. I know that a lot of weight problems aren’t caused by medicine though. I hope I’m not taking this video out of context but I just wanted to bring this to people’s attention.
This video left me in tears. There are so so so many things beyond motivation and choice that determine a person's size and appearance. Having adequate access or means to buy healthy foods, menopause, auto immune thyroid disorders, depression ect.
All I'm saying is that I think its really really important that we learn how to strike a balance between our opinions and our morals. Your personal view on or experience with fat/obesity is yours and I accept that but the individuals you are addressing and speaking about are humans. As with any of us, you see your ideas as right and that's totally okay, but do you really see the hurtful and careless way you are talking to and about these people as right?
Just as your experiences are yours, so are these people's. All we can really ask is that you at least approach them with an attitude of empathy and the respect that every human- regardless of their appearance- deserves.
Please hang in there, don't be sad, you're not alone! Not everyone is "lazy"! She is very wrong. You got this!
I absolutely agree. Honestly, it's so sad to see this video and see them talking down to people when there are many factors to obesity. Sure, some people just need lifestyle changes but it's not as easy as that. It doesn't give them an excuse to disparage others like that. I'm sure they wouldn't talk to people like this in person so why in a video?
I know people that eat healthy food and exercise and still struggle to lose weight. I also know people that are skinny and eat very unhealthy. Why do people assume things based on someone'e weight?
Everything you are saying is true but I will add that as a heavy person myself, What I see is these people demanding airlines and other business to cater to them and yet they can't seem to realize that they ignoring reality about their situations. Whether their heaviness is due to an illness, or laziness , they are expecting those around them to fix situations for them. I don't demand that restaurants make their booths bigger, I just just a table with movable chairs because that is more comfortable for me at that time.
@@meganluck4352 Who's saying these places should cater to plus size people?
Thank you. Perfectly said.
I'm sorry, but it's not always because of laziness. First, overeating is a real psychological problem. I have been overweight for over fifty years. I've lost weight so many times and gained it back. It is NOT laziness. I don't say I'm healthy and I don't like being obese. I know I have an eating disorder. I have found a way to lose weight that works for me and have lost 65 pounds and kept it off. I still have about 60 more to go.
I've always agreed with you until now. But this was really very offensive. I understand about the videos you showed, but to call fat people lazy is extremely offensive. At
Another issue is metabolism. I had a friend who tried to tell me to just eat less. So I proposed an experiment. For one week, he ate twice as much as I ate. We weighed before and after. He stayed the same and I gained five pounds. Towards the end, Alex said to be nice, but this wasn't nice.
The difference is that you know it’s a problem buh those fat people delude themselves into thinking it’s healthy and shame other people for trying to loose weight and that’s dangerous not to mention stupid
I know I became morbidly obese due to turning to food as a trauma response because I didn’t feel safe telling other people about the abuse I was going through. It was an unhealthy coping skill. Thankfully, I’m in a better place now. I take responsibility for my actions and went from 277 pounds to now 148. I’m still on my weight loss journey since the healthy weight for my height is 130-5 pounds.
Getting fat is nobody’s fault but your own. You choose to overeat and not be active. Every single person who says their weight has gone up and down with different “diets” never stayed consistent. It’s not something you do temporarily. It’s a lifestyle. You can’t eat your way to fatness your whole life and expect to completely reverse it permanently with a few months or couple of years of temporary diet. People who are thin or fit aren’t that way by accident or luck. It’s not genetic. There was no such thing as morbid obesity 100 years ago. At least, not to this degree.
@@floresf8727 guess you’ve never experienced those moments where you feel like you’re no longer controlling your body and it’s just moving by itself, stuffing down food and it can be because of various reasons. And then when you’re done and in actual pain you feel like absolute disgusting shit and restrict for days until you eventually end up doing the same thing all over again. It’s not always as easy as a fucking choice. It’s an actual disorder that is very difficult to recover from. I’m not overweight and a lot of people tell me I look fit because I train so much but if only they knew what goes on inside my head they would not tell me I seem healthy. It’s not fun going through life with insane body dysmorphia and not being able to enjoy going out because calories are scary as shit etc. It is a choice, yes, but it’s not as easy as you make it seem. And bullying people who are overweight thinking that it’s gonna make them make that choice is definitely not the way to go.
@@Alleballe you choose to stuff your face or not stuff your face. Nobody is forcing you. Hiding behind words like “disorder” or “dysmorphia” won’t change that. Those excuses are just cop outs. People trying to deny accountability for their actions.
When the first TikTok played I felt so bad for the girl, how the people in the plane were treating her was just plain rude. How can you have so little empathy that your first thought is "why don't you just buy two tickets instead"?
True. They were not nice to her
Because they are darn using 2 spaces.
look at what happened to sydney watson, she was stuck between a brother and sister who were fat and poeple hated on her because fatness for some stupid reason need to be accepted, guess people will be dying in the 30-40 now
That story she had was so fake, come on
@@NadiaSeesIt whether it was fake or not we don't know. So as humans or as a person who influences a lot of people like amala she isn't supposed to act so rudely.
gross. how dare you use the excuse “i was fat once” to think you can assume a person’s life and medical history doesn’t effect their weight? i am unable to lose weight myself as someone who is midsize. should i simply stay in my house and breathe my last breath because it is so inconvenient and disgusting to live my life? should i die miserable and unchanging? bullying people you don’t know online will not aid them to lose weight. don’t speak on shit that doesn’t effect you.
Oh how I love what you said!!! This entire video is disgusting, even though I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. Just so wrong on so many levels!
“Don’t speak on shit that doesn’t effect you” so should I not speak on homelessness, world hunger or cancer because i haven’t experienced those things and they haven’t effected me? Based on your statement the answer is yes. Do you see the flaw in your statement?
@@Averybean98 You taking it out of context is entirely stupid - they're saying don't speak disrespectfully on topics you don't experience as of current. So unless you are a horrible person to talk about homelessness, world hunger or cancer then fix your fucking word twisting you crotch goblin.
How many people who are severely over weight seriously have a medical
condition ?
The majority of people who have access body fat make poor lifestyle choices, one look at an American grocery store, fast food chains,
food culture, etc. (if you’re in the US) and you can tell why over 50% of the US is over weight
@@Divinia93 i am from the us, but do you realize that not all illnesses are connected to obesity? obesity isn’t the cause of everything.
Use it as fuel to lose weight. Lifes tough, being overweight is going to hurt a lot more when you're dying of heart disease or get diabetes than when someone merely hurts your feelings. I used to be 320lb. I was lazy and over ate, it was my problem. People calling me fat helped me get the drive I needed to start my journey to losing 60lb
Respect! its not easy looking at yourself and being honest with yourself to make a change and move on.
I agree with you and I'm trying to do the same
Yes, fat acceptance is enabling them. Happy at any size, yea… right. Most fat people arnt happy with themselves but they pretend to be. Being honest with yourself and making changes is the only way. Good for you man!
Kudos!
Respect. It’s hard, but you’re doing a good thing.
Amala I appreciate your approach to topics, HRH comes across pretentious, and disrespectful. The message lands off center when this guest is involved.
💯 Amala and Taylor are much better at saying the facts and not sugar coating without being so snarky/nasty
she’s legendary tho 💅
She got a guest who was previously “obese” to be able to shed better light on the subject.
I don’t think she was “pretentious and disrespectful” but I think people have forgotten how disgusting obesity actually is.
People talk about drug addicts, the same way she is talking about fat people.
We should shame obesity (food addiction) and drug addiction equally
There's so many snowflakes in this chat I can't believe it
@@michaelquaid4679 snowflakes or emotionally intelligent 🤔
Ok I was with you… until you said that the only reason people are fat is because they’re lazy. Because that is not completely true. I am fat, I work out, I’ve actually lost 85lbs since last year. I had gained so much weight a few years ago because of a couple of different medications I was put on for being misdiagnosed from a pill pushing doctor. I gained 100lbs in about 6-7 months. It ended up causing more issues than the weight gain, I’ve actually had a lot of dental issues due to the side effects of it as well and recently had to have 2 teeth pulled and need several more fillings and procedures. I’ve always had perfect teeth besides needing braces when I was younger. The medicine actually caused me to develop tremors in my hands but it also caused me to gain weight like crazy. Still worked out 4-5 x a week for an hour and a half at the minimum usually for longer. Ate typically what I was before and tried to eat healthier by cutting out unnecessary things like processed sugars and high sodium and calorie filled foods. When I was taken off it I was able to start losing it faster than I was and actually felt a whole lot better. When I was on the medication something was very wrong in my body. Even my friends and family noticed that I wasn’t myself and that I looked very sick. But it’s not always due to being lazy. People with thyroid issues have a hard time. Yes people need to be healthier and everything, I never expected people to be attracted to me, never expected special treatment and in fact was embarrassed But that opinion is a little ridiculous to say.
Yeah Exactly. I like reading new recent comments because they're so unbiased and truthful than the top comments with the most likes, and your comment is pretty unbiased to read ❤❤❤
How sad it is to see to adults just spreading hate and negative thoughts… We all have different relations with food and not all overweight people are quote “lazy“ some have health problems that go way beyond that. I hope next time these two have something to say they can maybe put themselves into the other person’s place to be able to know how hard it must be ❤
It’s about the mindset not necessarily the weight. These videos are about people with an awful mindset and so I think it is fine for them to get torn into. But if they were people who genuinely tried to live a healthier lifestyle then I would say it is unwarranted and very wrong.
FACTS FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A FUNCTIONING BRAIN
how is this hate? theyre just being honest...health problems and obesity both go hand in hand with POOR DIET-go whole food plant based and get some discipline
While I agree that of course people who are overweight should strive to be healthier and people shouldn’t enable them, I also believe shaming them or being just plain mean like the guest in this video is not acceptable. While people think shaming helps people want to lose weight, it rarely does. Instead it makes them feel so bad about theirselves that they either think there is no point in trying or turn to food in comfort because food in their comfort. It’s also not always laziness. Every person is different and many people have real problems with food that often stem from traumatic experiences. At the end of the day not our place to shame or judge them when we don’t know their whole story. It just doesn’t help. This world needs a lot more kindness. You don’t have to be overly kind to the point where all logic as to why being healthy is important is lost but you shouldn’t be rude and unkind either.
that’s just Alex xox
In our current culture we have more often than not… coddled people so that their poor little feelings aren’t hurt 😏… we have to stop telling people they are fabulous, “just the way” they are. That’s BS and keeps people from striving or trying harder to be better, for themselves. Being rude or mean to someone is not okay but also forcing others to accept you and your size on an airplane especially where it’s already uncomfortable to begin with… is also mean and rude.
@@dollface1841 I agree! I feel neither side should feel a sense of entitlement or be rude because of what size they are lol
Who's fighting for bald peoples rights!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for write what I needed to read. I'm overweight and they literally made me cry with their attitude. At least they need to show respect. They wouldn't like to have people shaming on them or make them cry. I have so many years struggling with my weight and these girls turn down my confidence in 13 mins. Your comment really relieved my pain. Thank you for this.
Yes, it seems as if there is an increase in the number of people who are overweight.
There is, however, there is no need to engage in ad hominem attacks (e.g., calling people ugly). To me, Amala is pretty while her guest isn’t.
Her guest was clinically obese…
If anyone should be able to criticize obesity, shouldn’t it be people who have experienced it?
Ugly is an opinion.
Unhealthy is a fact.
To me, her guest just isn’t afraid to tell it how it is.
@@mro4ts457 just bc the guest used to be fat does not make it okay to talk about other people who are fat the way how she just talked about them ,she had her own journey let other people have thiers without you calling them lazy and so on ,super disrespectful what she is doing in my opinion.
@@kory1013
“Even the people who have experienced it can’t talk about it.”
What the fuck are you even saying? Lol
“Let others have their own journey without calling them lazy and so on”
So you support a crack addicts on their drug journeys?
Do you support Isis Terrorists, just having their own journeys?
“Hey man, let them blow up buildings, let them live their own journeys!”
Amala is beautiful and her guest is very pretty.
@@kory1013 dawg I have tourretes, my meds killed my metabolism at 7 years old I went from scrawny to rapid weight gain while being as active as I always was initially and my metabolism was completely destroyed. I finally stood up to myself at 18 to stop taking the meds I only found out had affected me this way after thorough research when I was a freshman in highschool. I had to struggle with that fact while not being able to convince my family that these were very real side effects and it explained my situation perfectly. I went from 470 at 18 to 240 pounds in under 2 years while working at Walmart and throwing the truck by myself most days then working out at the gym 5 days a week. My body naturally rejected anything that weren't proper meals or water the more weight I lost. There is no excuse and as someone who was 470 pounds no one should have to sugar coat it cuz someone "feels bad" I cried and wanted to kill myself 6 days out of the week since middle school yet I got the fuck up and did it.
"sorry for existing while fat" THATS NOT WHAT IT IS. theyre not upset at your for simply existing while fat, they are upset at you for TAKING PART OF THEIR SEAT ON AN AIRPLANE. they completely miss the point of whats going on and instead cry about it because they have to confront that they are inconveniencing other people.
This mindset is exactly what i don't want to be when I'm older im not obese nor super skinny, I'm at the average weight for my age. However the negative comments about these people, who are sharing their stories, explaining how they felt in those situations and then being talked down to with the negative comments you purpose in a mean girl way is just disgusting.
Just because someone is obese doesn't mean they're lazy
There are planty of other factors of why they may be obese.
You as skinny woman should not have the audacity to comment about there experiences in the way you do especially not have gon through it.
You dont know these people and its harmful enough on how uneducated this world is
You don't have to be "woke" to be respectful and have some fucking human decency.
I think that what your guest said about fatness being just laziness is somewhat incorrect. My mom is overweight, the doctors put it as obese, but she looks doesn’t really look obese. She’s 190 and a 54 year old woman, but she doesn’t eat as much as she should and she doesn’t eat a lot of crap. The reasons why she is overweight is because of her medical issues. She has sleep apnea and sleeps around 4 hours a night, adding weight, she had depression, ptsd, and a lot of other things, but the sleep disorder is major. Just saying…
That would make her the exception, NOT THE RULE.
FACT, most obese people are lazy and eat too much
Her guest seemed like she just wanted a platform to bash fat people rather than having a discussion about fat acceptance
@@SweetTea-Stephens my mom used to be a pretty fit gal, she became depressed and wasn’t sleeping correctly and that’s what’s led to where we are now- 8 years later. She has a cpap but it isn’t working with her half the time, or they recall it for months at a time.
which is why fat acceptance people are harming obese people with actual medical problems. they are screaming "every body is healthy" and shaming people for just being skinny. they are encouraging people to get fat claiming its healthy which its not. they are pretending being fat is healthy, completely ignoring people who have actual medical problems. they are the reason why all fat people will just be seen as lazy because they push a narrative that if youre fat its because you want to be not because you have actual issues. its infuriating
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is clinically obese. Don't go by BMI alone. Muscle tone and bone structure have a lot to do with it too.
Amala. This doesn't seem quite right. "Fat acceptance" is certainly no good, but there's something not quite right about the flavor of this video. Bless you.
That's part of the reason America is in a downward spiral right now...
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HOW THE TRUTH FEELS.

The flavor that not right is the vile guest 🤮
@@pooksmagoo6521 fr
It was all the unnecessary rude comments.
That’s Alex 😂
As a fat woman myself--I used to be near obese, now I am just overweight--I completely regret having let myself get this way. I have two eating disorders along with being medically diagnosed with both depression and anxiety, and I allowed them to take over. I am now a Type 2 diabetic and I am insulin dependent. I notice all these girls in these videos are probably in their 20s or 30s. What I can tell you is this: LOSE WEIGHT NOW. DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM TO YOUR FAT. I'm serious. You are going to regret being fat later in life. I have lost weight and am so glad I have, but I still have a way to go, and I never should've gotten here in the first place.
amala i’m sorry i love you but this is some straight up mean girl shit:/. there’s a lot of things wrong with the fat acceptance movement but this video was just bitter and immature. i especially feel bad for the first girl, just because she’s fat doesn’t mean she isn’t worthy of basic human decency and respect
That was not what it was
What the first girl interpreted wasn't the point
It's not bc they are gross or dunno
It's bc they take MY space away from what I paid for the same as her
And it's annoying when u come and sit and u don't even have space to move IN YOUR OWN SEAT
Women complain about the men spreading but an obese person taking your space for your seat then that is okay?
U have to just shut up?
I would be pissed too
12:48 “You seem a lot happier…”
I don’t know what conversation you were listening to Amala, but that girl seems _very_ angry….I agree with the premise, but that other girl came off much more mean-spirited in her delivery. I’m just saying, she could have made _all_ the same points (valid ones!) in a way that wasn’t continuously dripping with disgust and disdain; I guess I always figured you can catch more flies with honey…just a thought 🤷♀️
Yes you can just feel the bitterness and condescending coming off HRH in waves
Honey won’t work.
Agreed. Her guest was nasty. It does not reflect well on Amala.
Since the guest said she used to be fat, I think she’s projecting how she used to feel about herself.
@@qmulus1 Too fattening.
Both people are wrong in this situation…like yeah it sucks having to share a row next to a fat person or baby on the plane but you can still be a decent person and not make them feel bad about it. Simply ask a flight attendant if there’s an open seat you can move to 🙄
did you just compare an adult overweight person to a fucking baby 😀 👍
This video sort of rubs the wrong way for me. I love Amala, but the guest on this episode wasn't just criticising the fat acceptance movement but also bringing up irrelevant insults like "ugly" and "lazy", and it just felt really condescending.
They made some good points. I just wish the video was less hateful. I myself don't like the fat acceptance movement but I think it's uncalled for to call people ugly and lazy just because you don't like what they're saying.
i gained a bunch of weight while pregnant and i’ve been working my ass off to lose it. i wish i had half the confidence these people have 😂
As much as I agree which what’s being said, we need to maintain love for these people, if not respect. Even simply acknowledging how the people on the plane should’ve treated her better. Coddling is harmful, empathy is not.
If that was actually the case of course. She could have had a bad day and it just seemed that way. We just don't know because we weren't there.
@@badcallsign4204 I don’t think it’s a bad day. She’s been like that on all the shows. She’s just seems like a catty, prissy, valley girl woman. I like Amala, but I’m tired of these type of conservative women.
Totally agree
They sound emotional and childish
Clearly love and kindness is not solving the issue. Furthermore, a lot of those people are not being kind themselves.
right but its the fact healthy people are being harassed for maintaining a healthy diet and wanting to lose weight. fat acceptance is great if they werent harassing healthy weight people out of hatred and jealousy
I'm fat I know this I am not going to make excuses. I am a endometriosis cancer survivor and a leukemia patient. I work out and I feel good exercising I lift weights with the guys. The second one said she had thin privilege because of being a size 22. I wear a large tee because of big boobs that me feel great. God made us all different that what makes us great.
So glad you are better 💕 obesity is a disability most people do not want to be fat. People do their best.
obesity and health problems like this are a direct result of poor diet...go whole food plant based; exercise alone paired with a shit diet will keep you sick and obese. It's literally a choice..
I get this feeling that Alex had fatphobia rooted since a long run which led to her not liking or hating herself while she was fat and now she does the same for others. Nobody's saying working out and eating healthy is wrong. But if you give this advice to a fat person, its pretty much equivalent to asking a skinny person to eat, its dumb and unnecessary. If you care so much about the fat people, think abt how much they must care abt it. They also have internet access and they have the brains to do research too. Why not just mind your business and if you feel like being fat is bad, just keep opinions to yourself instead of hating on them. And if its not hate, show us some critical opinions, some statistics, some unbiased statistics to be precise.
Well if people are rude to someone for being overweight then they’re a tool and need to learn some manners.
But glorifying being very unhealthy is definitely not a healthy thing to do
Fat acceptance is gross. I was 600 pounds and everyone around me was accepting of that garbage. Never mind the fact that over weight people have major health issues. Thank God I've lost 350 pounds.

@@jenniferlindsay103 absolutely no one I knew would tell me to stop before I killed myself. They said I was beautiful and perfect as I was. 🙄
This is an identity problem. As humans, we put waaaay too much emphasis on the outer while ignoring the internal. I am not considered "fat" according to my doctor, friends, and family. But I have gained weight in the last few months and I feel very uncomfortable in my own skin. I don't like how the extra weight looks, I don't like the way my clothes fit, my energy is down, and my confidence is lower. SO...I've been using this season of my life to explore body image issues. And while I take full responsibility for my weight gain, fully acknowledge I need to make improvements in my eating and health habits, I also understand that WHO I AM is NOT my body. It is my soul, my energy, my character. My weight has fluctuated over the years, at times I've been thin and cute, at other times (especially after having 6 kids) I've been heavier and maybe a bit frumpy. But what hasn't changed is ME. It's like a car. When you first buy it brand new, it is pretty. But over time, it gets worn out, dents, dings, etc. But it still does it's job and you still appreciate it and take care of it. SO maybe we can stop fat shaming AND stop pretending like being obese is healthy. Focus less on the external and start helping people to heal internally. Connect to their soul, heal their mind...and the body will follow.
Why should someone have to pay twice as much because you are uncomfortable. If she could afford a private jet or first class she would have.
The parts with calling someone ugly is a problem for me. I’m with you both on the broad issue here but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not on their weight. Unhealthy, sure, but the name calling is too much and lacking IMO.
I'm 5'5 and almost 48 years old. I've been around 135 my whole life and I've had people ask me if I'm anorexic, tell me that I need a hamburger, or "somebody get her some food." It's not okay to shame anyone for how they look. Strange enough, for me, it's always fat people that do this. I went off on this one lady. A co worker. I told her that people are fat for many different reasons, overeating being the least likely reason for being overweight, but you're anorexic for one reason only. That's because you refuse to be nourished and shove your fingers down your throat. If I told you, "one more hamburger and your ass won't be able to fit through the door," that would be inappropriate and could possible get me fired. For some strange reason these people think that because you're skinny that their words don't hurt. THAT'S NOT OKAY!
I ALONE got called into the office and was reprimanded.
Same
Same happens to me all my life, I’m 5’1, 41 years old and my weight is 118.4, I think I look good and healthy, yes I look thin, I work out and eat healthy, I don’t do diet, I eat healthy an all my life people think that they have the right to tell me to eat more or said something about my body, even make jokes and always is fat people, so it’s correct when a fat person body shame a thin person but when a thin person said something about a fat person that it’s fatphobia 🤯

I don't agree with "the fat positivity" movement. However, I will say most of us could do more. However, loosing 40lbs is great. I however have medical issues that make it try ly hard to loose wt and I have been treated way worse than 1st woman even with buying two seats. I'm ok with talking about this subject but your guest is truly just mean. And as for being fat and healthy. My blood work and test are that of a thin person of my age. You can be healthy and fat. Just like you can be thin and have major health issues. I'm not against anyone giving me advise. It's about being a good person. You honestly don't know what that person is dealing with being an Ass isn't going to get them up and moving.
This is just patently untrue. It really is. You can be fat but you are not healthy. All that has occurred is you have yet to experience the detrimental aspects of being fat yet. I could agree that someone may have a medical issue that makes it hard to lose weight (very unlikely with most people who claim it), I could agree that someone has a medical issue that makes it hard to work out (true, more common, but most medical issues are benefited by working out - even when it's hard as hell to do so), but do not state the lie that being fat can be healthy. It literally kills. Every study, every science, every metric informs us that it kills.
@@terrys.2342 not really to be honest there is a difference between fat and obese. Fat is a very generic word! And overweight person and an obese person are both called fat but scientifically the two terms are very different!!! Obese is someone who is at an extreme end of the scale of being unhealthy. While on the other hand an overweight person is just above the weight of an average person of that height! An overweight person can be overweight either because of their muscle mass or because of their fat mass or maybe even both!!! The studies you might have seen are very generic cause honestly and factually speaking if you do a detailed analysis one person who is overweight because of fat does not necessarily show signs of high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and various other ailments that occur due to too much (fat) weight. Their is a high risk of attaining the above mentioned ailments and that I do not disagree but the notion of being overweight and healthy is not “IMPOSSIBLE” as u state (even if the probability is low it is not negligible)
I get the don’t be so sensitive but it was mainly her tone of voice.. and you can’t be calling ppl fat and ugly when you’re not the skinniest or the prettiest..especially if you used to be fat yourself lol it wasn’t necessary to say you’re disgusted. _I’m 5’7/106lbs so I can speak on what skinny is_ 😂 Idk If most ppl were as mean as her, she would kinda get torn apart looks wise
if youre gonna try to be a fkn saint i have some tips: you cant insult her appearance in the same sentence where you just said its rude to insult appearance. 2. you should not be insulting ANYONES appearance. it doesnt matter how good looking you think you are. based on your logic, you implied that she is not pretty enough to insult someone, meaning you think you are better looking than her so you get to insult her appearance. says a lot about you as a person. idc how pretty your daddy told you you were, you do not get to insult someones appearance and say that the same person you JUST insulted is not pretty or skinny enough to comment on anothers appearance. 3. you invalidated your own statement. instead of advocating to just be nice, which you could have easily done, you decided people who arent skinny or pretty enough cant insult people. which is funny you think you get to decide that. heres an idea how about everyone be nice. i dont care how skinny and pretty you think you are or really how you look or how much you weigh, its never okay to insult anothers appearance. maybe you should master shutting your fat mouth before you try to preach it to others. thanks bae!

I was 5ft with the bmi of 33. I nearly got blinded because my eres were swelling. If I didn't lose 70lbs I would have lost my vision at 17. Thank you Alex for being honest with people because toughen love is what helped me lose the weight. Love you guys💓
What she does isn't tough love. There isn't no love in there. I'm not one to be overly soft on people but with fat people there could be a whole host of reasons. If they are being rude due to inconviences cause they are fat. It's fine to jump on that. But pure fat bashing like here is just too much and it's not beneficial to anyone
I have my issues with the whole fat acceptance movement as well, but some people are not just fat because of laziness.
If that is truly what you believe than please either stop talking about it or educate yourself more on it.
Thyroid issues can cause overweight, the medication for some thyroid issues can cause overweight.
What about people with severely damaged ligaments or joints or how about a bursitis that can take months or years to fully heal.
My mother damaged her joints, especially the hip and right knee in her youth .
Now getting in age those issue got worse as age related issues, but also a bursitis came on top.
So yes she is overweight.
According to you she is just lazy and unwilling to move and not just hindered in movement and in pain.
Is your injured mother on Tik Tok demanding everyone celebrate her weight and "liberating fatness" and calling people who want to lose weight "fat phobic"? If not, then I seriously doubt this lady gives a rip about your mom's weight.
And even with thyroid issues, severe, morbid obesity is still caused by excess caloric intake. We aren't talking about people who always keep a few "extra" pounds on because it's harder for them to lose it - we're talking about insufferable 400 pound middle class ladies who demand everyone find them as beautiful as a model and confess their "privilege" of having actual self control
EXCEPTIONS, do not change the general rule.
Get out of your feelings and face facts.
MOST OBESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY OVEREATERS!
actual medical issues are NOt the main reasons everyone is so damn fat in america!!!!! its an actual small portion from thyroid/medications that are obese from it. its mostly laziness, no exercising, eating bad food etc. www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity
illnesses and medications arent even in the top 5 reasons for the massive amount of fat people in america!!!!!!!! apparently all fat peoples medical illnesses and medications just skipped many parts of the world a quazillion times over and only effect america so much!!!!!!!! www.cdc.gov/obesity/basics/causes.html medications and illnesses are the last two reasons on all lists of causes of obesity by the way. from CDC to WHO to NIH>GOV etc etc. Because that percentage is small.
@@drawingdragon Was coming here to say this! An obesity epidemic isn’t caused by people with thyroid or severe joint issues. Look at America over the last 40 years. Terrible diet, along with lack of physical activity and social media telling women their fat is beautiful has caused this. And I don’t even understand the term fat phobic. No one is afraid of fat people. Lol
@@drawingdragon No she is not on tiktok (god I hate that chinese botnet), but the lady repeatedly sadly the only reason somebody is fat (any kind of fat) is because of laziness.
In Germany we have a saying "über einen Kamm scheren", which is basically what she was doing.
I agree that most of the time laziness and overeating are the cause of any degree of overweight.
Yet she is entirely in the wrong to say it is always the case and doing so is not offensive, but just outright spouting bullshit.
I am caretaker for my mother, before that for my grandmother as well.
If they could, they would prefer to be more active.
Once your movement is inhibited and or you have a thyroid disease you easily gain weight and it is hard, like insanely hard to lose it without starving yourself when your physical condition makes moving hard or painful or both or worse causes it to detoriate even further.
That is why this type of one sided bullshit ticks me off as much as those fat acceptance tards.
I believe this whole "fat acceptance," movement has made it harder for me to get help for my children, who don't eat enough, and are underweight. To get taken seriously by doctors, my daughter went into the hospital twice for IV fluids, before a swallow study proved why she was so hard to bottle feed. She currently uses a feeding tube, and we are considering a feeding tube for my autistic son, down the road, but a lot of doctors don't want to think about the long term effects of being underweight.
Have you tried feeding therapy? I don’t know how old they are but they might benefit from it later on as the get older. You should look into it it helps tremendously. Not sure what the issue is with your kids but a lot of times it’s anxiety because of previous health issues like GERD. Which is common now with infant. And as they get older they have a lot of issues eating because of it.
@@michelleamaya6446 Yes. My son is in ABA Therapy, and they're going to set some goals for him to eat better. My infant has a feeding therapist come to our home, and in the fall when school starts, my oldest daughter will have staff following up with her to make sure she eats her food.
Is it an appetite issue or is it a physical problem with the digestive system?
That’s is generally how it is here in the U.K. as well. They have to be almost in organ failure before they step in with underweight people 😡 I feel for you.
@@__Ryan_ with kids on the spectrum its often sensory issues. nevermind the texture of food, some actually find the physical act of swallowing food painful.
lack of empathy, insulting, childish. i hate this video
Me too. I use to have respect for Amala but after watching this video, she took it too far. It’s fat-phobia at its finest.
There is a difference between fat/thick and chronically obese. I agree that being obese is probably not as healthy or attractive as being slim and athletic. I worry about the whole fat is beautiful/love my curves movement. It’s rarely thick/moderately curvy women who are promoting that. It’s usually massively obese people pushing that.
This video is not it. I agree that glorifying unhealthy weight is not a good thing, but especially how HRH talks about this is just so rude. “Why are people so fat and ugly in the past 3 years”…. It’s just rude. I think that while this topic does need to be discussed, the way it was in this video was awful. I also think that the topic of being overweight reasons that don’t have to do with being “lazy” should have been mentioned. For the record, this comment is coming from someone who weighs 125 pounds.
Edit: spelling
I may be rude, but is it a lie ?
@@ricardokojin7 I think there is a lot more nuance to the topic than they allowed for in the video. Whether their statements were true or not, the topic was not handled well. Eating disorders are a huge issue and cause so much distress and even death, so considering that I think the topic was handled verryyy poorly. HRH has previously made videos glamorizing unhealthy eating habits as well. She’s talked about how it’s good to go to bed starving, and how being able to feel your bones makes you feel good about your self. While obesity is a negative issue, this was a very bad way if addressing it.
After 2 years of working really hard to rehabilitate with pt exercises at home (since I cant afford a physical therapist), I finally gained about 30% of my mobility back and could start being more active again. I spent 20 hours in 3 weeks exercising recently. 20 hours.
But Im still fat after over 2 years of hard work. Why? Because of my health condition that existed long long before I got fat.
Im not going to glamorize being fat, it shouldnt be glamorized. But I wont pretend everyone who is fat is just a gross lazy pig, not when 50% of the US population has a chronic illness and most people cant afford decent health care.
Talking about us like we are ugly dogs that don't deserve human decency takes away from your important message that glorifying obesity is a problem.
@Sue Sue thanks for the suggestions :) I just started taking probiotics and Ive been tracking my diet and exercise as requested by my doctor. After I have enough data Ill return and hes going to analyze my eating and exercising habits and we are going to probably do blood work to test for thyroid issues and some other stuff. Sadly Im the only woman left in my entire family (maternal side) that doesnt have diagnosed thyroid issues so its very likely that I do have some kind of thyroid disease but still hopin I dont *knock on wood* 😅
@@AwakeNotWoke444 best of luck! Hopefully you can figure something out! Health problems are so miserable.
Random thought, a friend at my gym said she doesn't eat after 8pm & she dropped weight from just doing that. I'm trying it, and so far it seems like it's helping!
Best of luck :)
you're still obese because you never focused on a healthy sustainable diet like whole food plant based...it takes discipline

The medical community has concluded there are serious medical problems with obesity. There I said it.
I love when people say “Obesity is natural” but they can’t find any evidence of Obese cave men anywhere😂
‘Natural’ sure.
You ‘naturaly’ are just too lazy to care about what you eat and how health you are.🤷♂️
Oh my goodness john, YOU'RE GOING TO HURT SOMEONE'S FEELINGS WITH THE TRUTH!
That statement is Misogynistic, Racist and Fatphobic! These people are obese because of Colonialism, Nationalism and White Privilege. LOL!
How dare you John
How dare you be so right about it
John, you are just so... like, I can't even... I mean, there is just no way that you are wrong....
Coming from a former Chubby Lady... keep preaching the truth! 🤭
I wanted to be mad at Alex for calling me out about being lazy with no self control. 😂
I can't really exercise for health reasons, but I dropped 80 lbs just watching what I was poking in my face all day. When I had to account for it, I was disgusted by what and how much I ate and I was eating things I was allergic to.
It’s the truth, it’s loss of control. Very unhealthy!!! 😞
Those of us that dont or cant exercise must watch what we eat alot closer. We need to be honest with ourselves about this
True...some people just need more discipline but it's still does not excuse her behavior in this video.
80 lbs thats crazy!!!!! I can't exercise much also due to health issues, but watching what I eat led me to losing 20 lbs. I try not to stress about the number on the scale but the nutrition, and hope to one day regain the strength to keep my body moving more frequently.
@@rollinginthedeep6900 yeah. It was crazy. I went from 280 to 200lbs. I am still working on it. I did a very strict diet that was the Autoimmune Protocol and it removes all food people are usually allergic to. It was super tough. I also stopped drinking soda. That helped.
I am happy I found this channel because I agree on a lot of things Amala talks about. But I find it really sad that in the process of 'leaving the left' she lost empathy for a lot of causes.
I don't believe it is fair to make people feel bad about the way they look.
I don't believe someone's success with weightloss is proof that 'fat people are lazy' or 'obesity is a choice'. We are different and things are easier for some and harder for others. We process and cope with negative emotions differently, we have different support systems, different attachments to food, different responses to diets and restrictions, different genetics.
You can call out stupidity and entitlement (like the first lady complaining that she felt uncomfortable when being 'touched' on the plane or the thin privilege topic), while still acknowledging that the comments fat people receive are hurtful and unnecessary.
Amala said that she has empathy for people who experience gender dysphoria, she believes LGBT people should not be discriminated against... I don't know why she has such a black and white approach when it comes to fat people.
Thank you !!!
The main reason I try to promote health to my family members, is because there is nothing more anxiety-inducing than when a family struggles due to health problems. My family has lost a lot of people to diabetes when the answer was just in changing their diet. That was it. Bad health takes years away from your life, and it’s saddening for the people around you.
Very disappointing. While we need to reject the healthy at any weight idea, this response video is coming from a place other than kindness and reason.
Absolutely agree
Kindness and reason don’t mean anything. Obesity is a problem. It’s not one that can be solved with kindness and reason.
@@qmulus1 wow! Kindness and reason don’t mean anything. Responses like this is why the world has gone to shit. Go join the left if you don’t want kindness and reason to prevail.
@@pooksmagoo6521
Kindness + Reason = Coddling
Fat Acceptance is nothing more than a bunch of overweight women who want the world to tell them they’re pretty. Nothing more.
@@pooksmagoo6521 I know. This is exactly why we can’t bring people from the left to our side. We are so polarized on being right that we just end up being cruel and pushing everyone away for our own desires
Amala I love ya … but I wish you would stop trying to make this other lady relevant. Every opinion she has is just for shock value , she does not contribute any quality to your show 🤷♂️
The opinion "being fat is unhealthy, the people who pretend it isn't are being stupid" is a "shock value" opinion now...?
Bro, you sound like an over emotional woman
I am usually all for hearing what she has to say but honestly this astonished me. Some of these were unbelievably cruel. Not all fat people are lazy. I am an overweight woman that works out 4 times a week and still can’t lose weight because I have a condition called PCOS and mine is very severe. I gain weight incredibly fast and it is so hard to lose weight. I’ve been overweight since puberty due to this condition. These comments were completely unnecessary.
Yeah Exactly. I like reading new recent comments because they're so unbiased and truthful than the top comments with the most likes, and your comment is pretty unbiased to read ❤❤❤
Yes, finally someone else w PCOS! Me too! I'm not lazy either. I have a very on-the-go job, I work out, I avoid as much bad food as I can like bruh I am not lazy lmao the guest is so mean
I'm not into Fat Acceptance but talk about entitled. Damn these two were straight unnecessarily cruel and that girl with her sighs and drama hands and sarcastic comments. Nah. Fat Acceptance is delusional, but this discussion was really tone deaf.
When do people stop blaming everyone else for their problems. Take responsibility for yourself.
I take issue with the statement that it's all due to laziness. I'm a mother of 8 children and I work part time and go to school part time. I'm not lazy! I've worked very hard at dieting and learning about nutrition. I lift weights 2-3 times per week and walk 5-10,000 steps per day. However, I'm 80 pounds overweight, I have fibromyalgia which comes with insomnia. I've been to doctors, personal trainers, sleep specialists, etc. And I have a library of health books and cookbooks. I have put work into it! My cortisol levels are exactly opposite of what they're supposed to be which ups my stress and blocks me from being able to lose weight. There are so many factors to a person's weight that to say it's all about laziness is INCREDIBLY ill informed. This girl may have been overweight but that does NOT qualify her to speak to the reason why every person is overweight. THAT IS PLAIN IGNORANCE!
Well why did you have so many kids god daaamnnnnnn
@@jacintagordon2537 because she wants to🤨
The internet is full of people giving their unsolicited opinions you know who you are and that's all you need congrats on all ur children btw I hope to have that many one day 😭
Nutrition is everything; getting slim is ALL discipline; crash dieting and putting your organs through keto to drop some lbs isn't discipline; thats you desperate for a quick minute looking for a quick fix. Your health issues didn't come out of nowhere and along with obesity are a direct result of your poor diet. Maybe you should try plant based-i see in the redness and puffiness your face you are having inflammation issues due to meat consumption and will die an early death if you don't clean up the animal products.
I came here to protest because of the first clip.. i wanted to say that you should stay polite, but then i remembered all the strongly perfumed women, that had the audacity to sit next to me on the bus.. they definitely felt the hate. So i will stop judging.
As someone who is fat. I hate this movement. Being fat is unhealthy and the idea that someone wanting to not be fat or to lose weight being bad is rediculous and probably why this country has an all-time high of diabetes and heart disease. its stupid.
@Amala The problem with this video is that it is full to the brim of assumptions and absolutes. The language chosen in response to this issue is so small minded, and very dangerous. I am no 'snowflake', I'm a massive fan of PragerU, and am a Christian, but this video clearly shows the arrogance so many on the right have to this issue.
1. to see an overweight person and to assume they have control over that, that they aren't suffering from a physical illness, and that 'losing weight' is an option is destructive to the core. My good friend is 350 lbs, suffers from a specific disease, and has anorexia because of comments like yours. She is a slave to yours and Alex's comments that tell her she isn't beautiful, that she is gross, and that all she needs to do is lose it and then she'll be happy. The small mindedness in this conversations brings me to tears because I advocate for conservative principles, which in my opinion is that ALL PEOPLE are beautiful, and that NOT all BEHAVIOR is beautiful. We do not glorify the unhealthy lifestyles people choose and celebrate those decisions, but to see an overweight person and to assume they make bad choices is just as bad as a woke person seeing a conservative and thinking they're alt-right racists. Some people can't be thin, and they need to be spoken to with respect, care, and empathy, and more importantly, told that they are beautiful with how God made them.
2. My wife had anorexia and an eating disorder for 7 years. She lost her period for 7 years, was a slave to her body and to this culture that glorifies weight loss and diets because "being thin = happy". Based on this podcast, you believe it would be better that my wife stays a slave to her food rules and eats 300 calories a day, than have a normal eating habit free from cultural influence and be medically considered overweight? EVERY DAY I celebrate the fact that my wife has recovered, that she gained 80 lbs so that we can celebrate the birth of our first child (which doctors said was impossible). I celebrate that she can look at a cookie and say "I can have this" rather than be afraid of it.
Those are the two main points, but I have SO many more - the language you choose in this video, and these absolutes that if people are overweight than that means they are unhappy, lazy, and a burden on soceity (as per your comments about the individual on the plane). How about we live in a society that is selfLESS rather than selfISH and have a standard of healthy living/the behaviour (no matter the weight), and stop demonizing and honestly destroying individuals because of your comments.
These instagram stories spiralled my wife into negative thoughts about her body, about her weight, not because she needs to lose weight (that is the LAST thing she needs, to be enslaved back to her anorexia lifestyle), but because you both called her ugly and unhappy. It sickens me that this conversation is on PragerU and to see the comments anguishes me. Can there not be a middle ground, and ultimate love for one another? I'm not snowlake, I'm just somebody that cares for Truth and Love to coexist as Christ exemplified for us.
Please Please reconsider this message you are putting out. Feel free to reach out and I'm happy to have a more clear conversation about this, because I honestly pray you would have your eyes opened on this as the right is missing the mark, and this was an example of it.
What I find with most conservatives is that they only empathise with others if they have direct links to it. I fully agree with your stance but I find it weird coming from a stanch conservative seeing the entire premise of the party is to invalidate as well as strip minorities and womens rights. It’s very very prevalent on PragerU and this video. This video is one representation of how little conservatives generally think of others who don’t look like them. I’ve never in my life come across an empathetic conservative so this comment really shook me lol
Essentially my question is why do conservatives only rally behind causes that directly affects them or people they’re close to , meaning they understand what empathy and compassion is but they can’t for the life of see others who don’t look or act or feel or believe as they do as their equal with equal rights to live their lives without conservatives trying strip them of their human rights???
Not trying to argue and I do realise my comment probably comes across as very hostile but it’s a genuine question.
@@YouWillGetThereBuddy I don't think it comes across as hostile -- I appreciate the comment -- but it honestly makes me sad that you've never come across an empathetic conservative. With that said, I will say I don't 'identify' as a conservative, because of it's faults (like this one). I identify as a Christian who votes conservative (because I believe Jesus is without faults: is perfect). To me there is a big difference - because as a Christian it's my duty to respond in love, grace, and care, and that isn't necessarily a responsibility as a conservative, because conservatives vote on principles and policies, not behaviour.
But with that said, I think the absolute isn't fair. 'Conservatives only rally...' isn't accurate to pretty much all people that vote conservative, that I surround myself with at least. I think that's more of a general perception error than an objective truth statement to all conservatives.
To your final point, I would love to know what you mean by stripping people of their rights? In most cases, the only party that I have witnessed that looks to remove actual rights from people would be the left - right to life, freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and the list goes on and on. The left can often think people have rights to a home, a job, healthcare, money from the government, to take an innocent life (abortion), etc. which are privileges that are better earned than given, or for the latter, not a right that should be given, given the constitution and moral ethic. Empathy and compassion, to your comment, is not only understood, but conservatives often have been the champions of acting on their empathy through charitable donations, pregnancy centers funding, homeless shelter volunteer work, foster care serving and the list is extensive. Look up church history and see the selflessness that has directly come from Christians and conservatives for the community.
I think your question may just be a difference of opinion, in that what you believe to be rights, aren't actual rights. And if you think they should be, than it's a free country and I wish you the best in advocating for that - but I believe the 'rights' the left push for, would cause more harm to a nation than benefit it. Because empathy is not the job for the government to give, it's the job of the people (analogy: a referee doesn't come to an injured players aid, he calls a foul and holds the rules/rights of the game, but the team members, family, friends, and medics come to the aid). Hence why conservatives typically believe in small government.
Of course this is a general statement that lacks depth given it's context (youtube comments), but I hope that at least provides some insights from a Christian that votes conservative. I'm conservative because I believe the principles and values typically uphold the highest/best standard for a nation/state/city/culture to thrive. It's then the peoples job to fill in the rest (as no system is perfect, and all systems demand people to be good, to love one another, and to be compassionate as we all have different lives, situations, and stories to tell).
Let me know if you have any other questions - as I know we will disagree on a lot (politically), and we don't need to go into a debate over such things, but if you're curious about perspective or compassion from the eyes of someone who votes conservative, I'm happy to be that for you.
Cheers,
@@JFulfy Firstly, i believe that church has no place in government as history has shown us over and over and over again. Millions have died at the hands of religion being forced into governments. Seperation of church and state is an absolute necessity. No debate there. You can believe religion is perfect and all the power to you but involving it in politics is the reason many people have not only died but have been oppressed to this day. The oppression of women is rooted in religion. The oppression of lgbtq+ people are rooted in religion. The oppression of BIPOC people are rooted in religion. All systemic segration and oppressive laws in these categories have been rooted in religion. So that's the first point we definately disagree on.
Secondly, the rights I speak of are women's rights and lbgtq+ rights (that to this day is being debated and critisized by conservatives). As is blatantly evident in this womens content.
I believe that it is no governments right to dictate what anyone must do with their bodies. I believe that living women deserve more rights to their bodies then a corpse or clump of cells, so another thing we definately disagree on. Which is not currently the case. Women are not incubators treating them as such is so far in the right wing agenda its not even funny. It honestly makes me sick how little conservatives actually think of women. Literal second class citizens because we all know if men were the ones being forced to risk their lives for pregnancy we would not be debating if they deserve rights. Which is evident around the debate on mandatory vasectomies and male birth control.
Thirdly, yeah never in my life have I ever witnessed or interacted with an empathetic and compassionate conservative as most of the time they advocate for selfish laws and hate the idea that everyone deserves a right to livable way of life. Nobody should have to earn basic survival. Basic neccesities we need to survive such as health care, a livable minimum wage ect... Just to name a few. Christian conservatives are honestly the worst ones when it comes to these issues. So while I believe you mean well saying you're not a conservative but a Christian conservative because of your values, it doesn't really help your side much. Christian conservatives are usually the first to advocate for the stripping of people's basic human rights.
Fourth, I'm certain there are conservative christian organizations and charities that do good work for their people but the same can be said for non conservative organisations. I think the difference there though is that the left doesn't discriminate based on your beliefs or appearance. You will be helped regardless but there are too many Christian organisations that won't even consider helping people who don't subscribe to their religious beliefs. So I would trust non conservative organisations more.
Fifth, the rights you state the left are trying to strip aren't rights. Objectively they arent. By every metric, human life and standard of living should be more important then an 18 year old being able to purchase a gun.
Owning a gun should not be a right and refusing to have adequate gun control because children are being murdered in schools just further more solidify my stance that conservatives are the least empathetic or compationate bunch.
The entire conservative media has shown time and time again that they don't actually care about the lives of others if that means their priviledge is challenged. If you believe owning a gun is a right but bodily autonomy isn't then I honestly dont think we have much else to talk about.
My main issue with conservatives are though that they always advocate for their own best interest and not that of the greater public but also weirdly claim to be patriotic. They believe that you should earn survival while their priviledge is the reason most of them are able to survive and not just survive but exploit and steal from the poor. Its the blatant disregard for human life but claiming they're all for the lives of fetuses while they fight to keep their guns in spite of the very real mass shooting issue in the US and very real need for gun control, strip women and little girls of their human rights in the name of being pro life but do absolutely nothing to help those women and children after the forced births and forcing unwanted children into a cycle of abuse and neglect only to be told they need to just work hard while having every single card stacked against them and only seeing a select few actually make it out of the systemic cycle of abuse and neglect, place r*pists in supreme court positions, hate the idea of wellfair, think disinfranchised groups just need to work hard, while they exploit those same people, cut taxes for the rich (Trump) and demonise the BIPOC community for standing against their people being murdered for no reason but happily commited treason on January 6 and were just let in when not long before that BLM protests at the capitol were met with swat teams but still claiming theres no such thing as white privilege, supported a murderous 17 year old who crossed state lines with weapons and celebrated the deaths of the people he killed after walking into a hostile crowd armed and ready to murder, constantly debating whether the lgbtq+ community deserve to have the rights that they were just recently given, constantly pushing for lgbtq+ people to not be in military, supporting the mistreatment and contributing to the mistreatment of of lbgtq+ children and adults, trying to pretend that lgbtq+ people existing is some agenda to oppress and silence Christians (their main oppressors) and worshiping an orange cheeto who proudly sexually assaults womens and was besties with Epstien, even commiting treason for said cheeto because he was somehow sent by god for conservatives?
I can go on and on but nobody has time to list every single issue with conservatism. Voting conservative puts those horrible people in power and gives them platforms to literally continue ruining lives. It does not matter how good your intentions are. You're actively contributing to the society that support people who have had their hands in oppressing their own people with no regard for who they affect for decades. Modern Conservativism at its core is selfish, unempathetic and cruel.
This is the conservativism this women represents and rallys for just to earn a buck cuz this is what conservatism is. As long as you make money it doesnt matter how many lives are ruined in the process. Doesnt matter how these harmful rhetorics actually ruin peoples lives.
I believe every LIVING being deserve to have a fair chance at life. Conservativism does not advocate for that. Not the conservatisim I've witnessed at least.
So yeah, we disagree on a vast amount of issues lol
After my Ted talk I guess my other questions are how do you vote for a party that actively supports dangerous rhetorics that actually result in real life harm?
Also, what about progress, tolerance and acceptance (which is what the left advocates for) is bad for society but not the above mentioned issues that have plagued society for YEARS.
Removing freedom of speech has never ever been a stance the left has advocated for so why exactly is it that conservatives believe that they should have freedom of speech and nobody else should? Show me where the left advocates for stripping people of their freedom of speech cuz thats news to me.
All I've ever seen are conservatives saying horrible or problematic shit and other people using their freedom of speech to critique.
@@YouWillGetThereBuddy In all due respect, I'm not a keyboard warrior looking to have a debate over misconceptions, poor arguments, and clearly unreasoned positions that are more emotional than logical. You asked a question, and I provided a sincere perspective. It would take me days to address the false ideas you have about conservatism, as I know for a fact it's not the principles you are upset about, but the perception of them (because you're perception, in all due respect, lacks depth and intentional understanding of the other side). I understand the love and compassion that is in the Left, because I care to give them the benefit of the doubt, such as yourself. But I believe there is a better way to love and care through better principles and policies. If you don't see any love and compassion in the right and their principles and policies, than I'd recommend you do that first with proper intentionality because that shows the character of understanding peoples hearts (whether you agree its the best way to show love and compassion or not). Because if you think the right is malicious or out to hurt people, than you are widely mistaken - they're are good people with good hearts.
I am empathetic, compassionate, and sincere in my understanding of politics, morals, and ethics, (as you saw in my response and initial comment), and from our responses side by side, I think I am the only one that is offering that. The absolutes you make, the grouping and misrepresenting of individuals is more cruel than caring, and I hope you find someone that you'd be able to have a civil conversation with (not online of youtube comments) that would explain the reason behind conservative principles, not the emotionally perceived idea of them that have been poorly and purposefully communicated by the left, and in this videos example, sometimes even by the right.
I love debates, and truthfully would have a hoot responding to all of this, but this isn't the place and I have things to do that are of more value to me and moreso, to others that depend on me.
And to your final questions, I can't answer that given the hypocrisy in the question. Every political position have hateful and problematic extremes / rhetorics, and to be blind to what the left has done and the lives lost or destroyed economically and socially, is ignorant bliss if I've ever seen it.
All the best,
@@JFulfy Well, you can choose to address what I’ve said or not. Completely up to you. I will leave you with this though… My perception of conservatism isn’t purely based off emotion (this is usually the straw man conservatives run to) it’s also based on fact. The fact that even this channel displays the above mentioned issues with conservatism.
PragerU platforms hateful conservatives who perpetuate literally everything I’ve said. Not only this channel but literally every single conservative channel I’ve seen on this platform has perpetuated the same rhetoric.
Conservatives I’ve met in person have perpetuated this same rhetoric. Just cuz you say it isn’t true doesn’t make it so. Conservative policies and media perpetuate this rhetoric. It’s quit literally everywhere. Also, considering that you’ve praised this channel in your original comment shows me that you perpetuate this rhetoric too.
These are not misconceptions. Every issue I’ve pointed out is truth. Easy google searches would prove that. Watching the news (and no I don’t just mean CNN and Fox) would prove that. Watching the way conservatives and white supremacists were so loud about the prejudices and hatred when Trump was in power proves it.
What’s sad is that you genuinely believe conservatism has any compassion or empathy anywhere while you clearly stated that owning guns is a right but woman’s right to bodily autonomy shouldn’t. I’ve read and consumed enough to form an informed opinion on the matter. My algorithm is so confusingly messy because I don’t just consume left based platforms. All the right does on these platforms is spread hatred and are definitely malicious in their need to dehumanise and degrade lgbtq+ people and also spread horrible rhetoric that perpetuate the idea that women are second class citizens only existing to serve men and be incubators. It’s all over the internet. Name one policy that is compassionate, empathetic and for the greater good of humanity. Humanity as a whole. Not just Rich or Middle class Conservative Christians. Name one. I’m genuinely curious.
One more thing… Thank you for answering sincerely. I do appreciate that. It’s hard for me to sugarcoat my words on this topic because I am VERY passionate about injustice and oppression. So my coming off hostile is not intentional.
Amala, what you said is understandable, but your guest sounds a bit too harsh and just plain mean. I think the way the left pushes what we should think/believe is beautiful is way too much and ridiculous even, but it isn’t productive when people on the conservative side lumps all heavier set people into one and says mean things either. We should acknowledge that not all heavier set people are inactive, and we should definitely avoid assuming they are all lazy.
omg i completely agree. i love amala but the other girl can just be too mean and harsh. and i don’t wanna hear people saying im a snowflake no im just saying she can be too rude and disrespectful. voice ur opinions in a respectful manner
🥲
Agree. I love watching Amala but I'm tired of seeing HRH on all the time...she just takes everything to that extra level. If I wanted to watch a hot headed conservative I can do that with nearly anyone. I prefer Amala's normal fun demeanor
@Angie Zulka I agree🫤

Using "fatphobia" as a word as if you're part of some oppressed class is ridiculous. It's perfectly reasonable to be disgusted and afraid of being fat.
The fat acceptance movement treats being fat like an immutable characteristic. 99% of the time, something can be done, and honestly, it's way more offensive in my opinion to treat being fat as the same as unchangeable attributes like race, sex, sexuality, or gender.
I don't have any kind of privileges for not being fat. You have disadvantages for being overweight. I realized that when I started moving my ass and going to the gym. I lost weight, yes, but you know what else I lost? Back pain, knees pain and insecurities! And I was not even that fat (some extra pounds after a stressful period). I can't even imagine the pain these people go through and do nothing about it.
It's odd how we are able to call out smokers, and tell them that their habit is dangerous, and slowly killing them, but the same logic is seen as offensive when it comes to those who overeat.
True, there are no pictures of clogged arteries on packs of donuts.
It not what they are saying thats the problem it’s the vile hatred and the way the guest says things thats the problem. You can get a point across without being nasty
Not all overweight people get that way from overeating you geniusssssassssa
First of all, not all people that are obese are that way because of overeating/unhealthy eating. There’s a multitude of factors than can affect weight.
Second of all, people aren’t *nearly* as mean and nasty to smokers as they are to fat people. You wouldn’t(or at least I hope you wouldn’t) tell a smoker “You’re just lazy because you won’t stop smoking”. Hopefully, you’d recognize that things are more complicated than that, and all we’re asking is that you do the same for fat people.

At no point in my comment did I say that everyone who is overweight is that way due to overeating. I never even said "overweight," or "obese" people. I explicitly said "those who overeat." So, my comment wouldn't include those who are overweight for literally any other reason than overeating.
Every smoker that I have ever met has acknowledged that the habit is unhealthy, and has said that they should probably quit smoking. With those who overeat however, I have noticed a considerable difference with how they treat it. Many of them don't acknowledge that they should likely stop, and any suggestion that they should stop a habit that is _literally killing them_ is seen as offensive.
Now, I am not saying that people should be rude when addressing the habits of those who overeat, but refusing to acknowledge that it is a problem can, will, and has killed plenty of people, and _significantly_ reduced the quality of life of those who are still living.
Love your videos, but can't stand HRH...Hope she's not in any more videos.
What a lack of empathy and information, you can not assume she is lazy just because she is fat you do not know her. There are skinny people who is sicker than fat people. Heath involves many aspects of a person life no just weight.
I went from 231 to 163 with calorie count and hit and never been happier
Some people love to feel offended,they will actively seek it out.
Wow. This obviously self-loathing ex fat woman (still with fat face) sounds ignorant af. And she really has no place to call others ugly. No, being lazy isn't the ONLY reason for being overweight. I'm not for fat positivity but I'm definitely not for fat shaming. I'm not over weight. But I still treat people with dignity regardless of their age, race, weight, etc. And it's not okay to treat people poorly just because they're overweight. That airplane incident sounds really heartbreaking. Have some class and descentcy. You're punching down in this video instead of critiquing harmful behavior. WRONG on so many levels.
Interesting how you say she has a fat face and yet say she should be kinder to the real fatties
I agree
VERY WELL SAID 🙏🏾!!!! I was DISGUSTED with what they were saying!!!! She keeps saying that when she was fat, she was miserable? WELL she still seems VERY unhappy !!!!!!!!! Her all aura is dark. There’s no happiness in her eyes. This made me unsubscribed!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry… but they should have to buy 2 seats if they spill over. I don’t want to be touching the person next to me at all
Some people don’t have the economic capacity to buy two seats.
“If I had to worry about someone’s psyche every time I spoke I would never open my mouth again.” So you’re saying that if you thought about how your words might impact others and chose not to say things that are harmful or cruel, you’d literally never speak? I think that says more about you than it does about other people.
