Absolutely baffling in the current political climate we are focusing on "fat liberation" and not advocating and fighting for actual marginalized groups that are facing real persecution

[@amberinthemist7912]

They are part of the oppression.

[@AussieBrit]

WeIl said and I agree wholeheartedly, especially since a lot of people are persecuted and marginalised for situations that were beyond their control! This NONSENSE is not that. Cheers.

[@julesverne06]

Yup. And as one of these marginalized group I loathe their movement. They can change their weight, but I as a black man can’t change how I look so easily. And the whole person of size classification is just gross too. Highjacking people of color and warping it to their fatness. Wild times.

[@Truckngirl]

[@moonshinedown2]

​@@julesverne06In a time where the current administration in the US is blaming every problem in existence on "wokeness" and "dei" (ie, minorities) it feels incredibly tone deaf to talk about fat liberation for. Idk. Making seats bigger on airplanes or whatever

[@ExpectTheSpanishInquisition]

I find the phrase "people who are in fat bodies" very ...... manipulative. It should be "people who HAVE fat bodies". By stating it this way, you are taking OWNERSHIP of your body. You HAVE it, therefore you OWN IT. But by saying "people who are IN fat bodies", it sounds like it was some kind of ACCIDENT that you are morbidly obese and that an obese body just somehow magically landed on you out of nowhere. But then we already know the famous death fats on YT are all about manipulation.

[@boosqueezy2418]

ita. they’re not just arbitrarily morbidly obese …

[@gunnargislason5221]

@ExpectTheSpanishInquisition it really bothers me when they refer to fat people as "fat bodies" ... they are literally objectifying themselves. It gives me the ick, honestly. I wish that the FA movement was more about being treated with respect and basic human decency regardless of your size, and less about making your size your entire personality and the only thing about you that matters...

[@once.upon.a.time.]

I was just thinking about this. When people say "someone living in a larger body" it almost takes away their autonomy. As if they have completely no choice over their weight.

[@CoMorbiditty]

Your body is you. Its not like you are disassociated from your meat sack that helps you move around. Or should we just be a head in a jar? 😂😂

[@ExpectTheSpanishInquisition]

@@gunnargislason5221 I can't be as generous as you. Your personality is NOT the only thing that matters about you. I cannot respect a person who so completely ignores their past trauma/mental health issues that they're literally eating themselves to death in order to cope. Nine out of eleven obese fat activists/body positivity leaders/You Tubers died at 42 or younger. The other two died at 46 and 49. That's almost HALF the expected life span of a physically healthy person!! Obese people cause everyone else's health care costs to go up and put abnormally high pressure on the health care system. So obese people need to get their heads out of the sand, put their adult pants on, and instead of making those tired/over-used EXCUSES for their weight, get into THERAPY and shed a bunch of dress sizes! You will FEEL so - much - better and you WILL get respect for respecting YOURSELF.

[@Casualete]

As a martial arts instructor, I can tell you that any wheelchair user can join a regular boxing studio or other fighting style and can learn how to fight. Any instructor worth their salt can adapt their teaching to most any mental and physical ability. There’s no need to go to some special body positive class. Fitness is already ‘for every body.’

[@wearesatellites91]

well said! there are people without arms or legs that have learned how to swim, skateboard, weightlift, do archery, surf, and just about every other sport you can think of. Being overweight is not some insurmountable barrier to fitness.

[@argosz8046]

Oh yes!!!

[@kwest5171]

Absolutely! When my MS has me down, I just do chair workouts. There are even chair workout videos on KZbin to help lead me through a nice session.

[@D3ad.R0ses]

This! I was so afraid of going to the gym in fear of being judged that I ended up never going for years, now I’m 50 pounds down and I love the gym and not once has someone came up to me and harassed me or made me feel judged, quite the opposite actually.

One time I was at the gym, trying a new machine, and a kind older gentleman came up to me, said I was doing good, but I'd get more out of the work out if I kept my chest forward instead of twisting. The only time I've been noticed, they just politely helped me do better.

[@kimicope_]

It is elitism in essence. It's ironic because being so large is not anything to aspire to and yet they seek admiration from others and come off "better than". Even the tone they use feels like they're speaking down to us. I'm truly plus size 1x on the top size 18 on the bottom and they have gotten so exclusive that they don't even consider actually plus size girls like me as plus size. They say we're midsize 🤣🤣🤣 it's flattering but that ain't reality. I'm obese they are extreme. It feels like they took over the plus size community and turned it into a fat acceptance community but only if your fat enough 😂

True privilege. The idea that the entire world should stop and make you feel safe and comfortable about your own personal beliefs and/or delusion…our ancestors who actually had to struggle against and die from various oppressions are probably rolling in their graves

[@Ar7wen]

I weighed 370 at my highest weight, then in 2016 I lost down to 280. Since then I went up and down and now I'm 235, as a woman with a height of 5'3". I could have lost so much more by now if I'd only been consistent. I'm 70 and having health problems. Watching this I feel like screaming loudly to her "Do something about it while you still can!" And I am encouraged to do what I can as well. Food addiction is a powerful thing and so too is the denial that goes along with it.

[@poiuytqwertyify]

The fact that she needs to feel "celebrated" at the gym proves to me that fat acceptance was never really about confidence, it's about coddling your insecurities. If you can't step foot in a normal gym because you feel uncomfortable about people watching you, you're not confident in your larger body, you're actually very insecure... Not saying that fat people never get bullied/stared at at the gym, but as someone on a weight loss journey myself, if you were truly self-confident and didn't care about what other people thought, you would go and do what you want that makes you feel good instead of using that as an excuse to stay home and not move your body.

[@KristenZianourry2015]

The only problem I’ve really had at the gym is when swimming laps this particular guy keeps trying to take my lane and he gets pissy if we have to share a lane because a lot of people are there and there’s no lanes left.

I have a home gym, but it's basically useless to me. I have ADHD and struggle to focus on working out when I'm home. All I can think of is that I need to stop and get other things done.

She has and not just her. I've noticed this with glitter and lasers too. There's something about being extremely morbidly obese as these ladies are that correlates to narcissistic traits. I'm not saying either. One of them are a narcissist. You would have to qualify for every single trait but they definitely have the entitlement look at me. I don't really do much but I want to be super rewarded for the little things that I do do LOL. And I'm a large girl myself so I'm not. I'm not saying every large person has narcissistic tendencies, but it definitely seems to be a correlation between some.

[@Louiseonajourney]

@kimicope_ I'm not a psychologists, but people with narcissistic tendencies refuse to admit that they do anything wrong, nothing is ever their fault and they love to be victims; if you have those traits and a food addiction it's not hard to see how they became that big and that they refuse to acknowledge that there's anything wrong with them or their habits. It sounds pretty much like a recipe for disaster, and it wouldn't surprise me if the FA-movement attracts people with narcissistic traits

For real! When I was in the hospital, I somehow accidentally got put into the "fall risk" group due to previous sports injuries. I rolled my eyes at first while walking into the seated workout group, but I was genuinely shocked at the range those workouts can provide. The skill level range for seated workouts is HUGE, and there are so many FREE resources online and ways to track your progress. If it genuinely makes her that happy, why not incorporate that into her weekly routine? She doesn't even have to approach it from a weight loss angle. She could do it just to build stamina and be happier.

Jaebae legitimately angers me at this point. I am disabled- I have ADHD and it is *crippling*. I'm still unable to get a job because of the fallout of it really coming to a head.

Jaebae, maybe you should half what you spend on groceries, put it aside for the second plane seat. By the time you have enough to pay for it you'll not even need it anymore. She's stepping on the backs of actual disabled people to profit. Calling herself disabled would be like an alcoholic telling me that they're not a drunk, they just have the special need of having to be drunk all the time.

I get what you're saying about not needing to feel "seen" at the gym, but I do really empathize with JaeBae on that. I used to be a binary trans man and didn't pass at all, but used the men's locker room at the gym (and men's public restrooms). I never once had a negative experience in the locker room, but the world is what it is right now and it was terrifying regardless of never having a problem. I found a gym that has all-gender facilities - their lockers are in an open space, but they have single-room toilets, changing rooms, and showers with locking doors. It was such a load off to not worry about the *possibility* of someone taking issue with me being in the "wrong" space. It's really a shame that her video about that gym only got 81 likes - spaces like that should exist and are a godsend for folks who have emotional trouble getting to ths gym. Like I usually find JaeBae annoying, but I was so genuinely and earnestly thrilled for her that she found a space where she could enjoy working out. I wish her audience was that happy for her, too. It must be a total mindfuck to know that deep down your audience is happy when you're unhappy.

Yeah it’s akin to women only gyms, which is super appealing to someone like me with severe PTSD due to ab*se from men. Of course I’m in therapy and eventually I’d like to be able to go to any gym but right now it makes me panic and I need to work out in the meantime.

I’m 5’1 and have 110lbs of fat free mass (got it done professionally) so I’ll never really be in the “normal” bmi category unless I’m crazy lean, and that’s assuming I don’t put on any muscle (which I plan to), but my goal is to be at a body fat of around 25% (approx 145-150lbs) then just maintain and build muscle. It’s shocking every day how close I am to my goal. I didn’t lose pretty much any weight from Jan-Nov 2024 after losing 35 the year before, but I got back on it December 1st, and from then I’ve lost 10lbs. To think I’m only a few months from my goal? Kinda crazy

[@redbanana6841]

Well done!!!

[@toddw.8277]

Damn so there is a place I can go and feel in shape? I been struggling with 25 pounds but I would be a damn body builder there!

[@zenobiaw831]

The All Bodies Strong gym is in Portland, Oregon. Jae Bae lives in Kennewick, Washington. That's a 3.5 hour drive, providing you can get through Portland in a timely manner (which never happens), so going to this gym is not really sustainable.

[@LiviaPaws]

Exactly! I live near Portland and sometimes traffic is 3.5 hours 😂😂

[@monkfruit2389]

Read this as "Wider than ever" and really thought you were out of pocket 😂

[@CoMorbiditty]

Yeah it is Jae Bae doing something good for Jae Bae. Like its this first ever, incredible thing that no one would ever consider possible. What a trail blazer. I hope she has all the props and lighting for these shoots. She will need at least an hours break after each shoot session considering she needs a mobile scooter and oxygen. Seems all that "disability" at the airport, with the inability to walk and needing oxygen could have been stretching the truth eh?

[@madamDOOM105]

The gyms in my area are very friendly. Idk if it's because of southern hospitality that's beaten into us, or just people being genuine. Sure, some will stare all judgmentally, but most are trying to figure out if it's okay to talk to people who are physically disabled or obese due to the social climate involving fat activism. My towns gym culture is one of respect. We love an underdog. We actually had a woman compete in the 2024 Paralympics in Paris. We celebrated her. Literally. There was a party celebrating her and then a watch party. We also have several people who have lost a lot of weight and we celebrate them. Dudes doing state body building competitions are also celebrated. We are generally uplifting. Side note, if you feel that you are being stared at, it is probably people like me who become NPCs between sets. Or people watching.

[@savanna9388]

*I watched this video stoned & your commentary on this is incredible. so thoughtful and from such an encouraging but also integral space.

[@Davinana44]

The thing about people staring at the gym, we all just stare at each other and at least on my end it’s not in a judgmental way. When I’m on a machine, I can only look one way. The amount of times I make accidental eye contact is insane.

[@gymdilettante8407]

One thing to keep in mind is she was definitely paid by the gym for overweight people to make that video

[@DocBree13]

Oh… yeah, that makes sense and I can’t believe I didn’t even think of that

[@avonleamontague2469]

I also think the airport story is BS. If it's true, the airport employee had someone else to get to. And that person may not be able to walk at all.

[@katjamarlene8108]

„fatcon“ is such an American concept to begin with. Like wth

[@churrosquirrel]

Try saying "fat freedom photo shoots" three times fast. Bet ya can't.

[@PrisonBecky]

Delusion at it's finest.

[@ScubaFanatic60]

I'm just confused as to what this is supposed to accomplish.

[@lauramcguan]

I can’t wait to hear how this turned out

[@Lizzie-Bee]

Those ticket prices are outrageous! $100 per DAY???

[@RachelReduces]

Agreed! 😫

[@Amberlynnsdaintybush]

Ik, it's terrible but I was considering going just because I'm in the area but.. those ticket prices 😬 I couldn't justify it for the cost. "Con" indeed.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

It’s priced like a professional work conference, but required CEUs are usually included in that price.

[@Chris-zi1we]

The catering must go crazy tho

[@jammypantz]

Seriously - I regularly go to conventions, like comic con, anime cons, etc, which are typically expensive but like those prices aren’t even quite this steep. 😅

[@teralla9973]

WTH is fatcon? I was fat before but i never thought about making a damn fatcon, or going to one.....

[@kerisallee3038]

3:11 it’s next week and they haven’t announced the keynote speakers yet?! That sounds so shady!

[@wandawells-yr1yk]

The comments on her videos are legit ignored… really makes me wonder if her following is more people who are just in awe at the crazy vs people who ACTUALLY enjoy her content

[@boosqueezy2418]

i’d estimate 90% “haters”-and by that i mean people who point out that being her size is lethal and that she has the ability to lose weight

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

"self love" doesn't mean what she thinks it does.

[@danitarle]

I don't understand the need 2 b "celebrated" every where she goes. No one cares, none of us r that important except 2 our family and/or close friends. I've only maybe felt need 2 b celebrated on my birthday 😆

[@MisUnderstood_Rose]

Fat liberation? Liberation from what? Oppressed from what?

[@cclee6987]

The need to be celebrated everywhere you go is odd to me.

[@yourlocalrat255]

guys i think she’s a size 6x ambulatory wheelchair user i’m not sure though

[@theweirdolio3934]

i feel like she has main character syndrome, whenever she goes somewhere she wants to be 'seen and celebrated'. girl this is real life, you're just like anyone else

[@woadxqueen666]

I can't stand people deciding randomly one day to do photography and charge people 😂 its just a popularity contest. I know so many girls personally.

[@jennyampc]

That constant need to be celebrated and empowered by other people. Sorry, but isn't that what friends and family are for? It is not her lack of a thin body, that keeps people from throwing confetti where ever she goes. Nobody gets constantly celebrated by businesses, strangers and jobs.

[@BeeseChoard]

The cadence of her speech in all her videos drives me crazy.

[@DocInABox]

Thats because she has low oxygen and is using all her air and gasping between words. She is immensely unwell from her weight. Its wild

[@SoRosieee]

I have a problem with the term 'celebrate' I'm sorry as an average sized person, I never get celebrated when I go places. Asking for special treatment, when it's not what happens in real life is attention seeking imo

[@jessiej2719]

But also for the airport situation, she expects everything to be so accommodating to her needs but then expects this poor airport employee to push her up an incline in a wheelchair and potentially cause them to get an injury! The employees don’t sign up for that nor should they compromise their well being

[@kxs7267]

I suspect JaeBae is a more minor character in this project than she's implying - the photographer Beth Olsen's name is on the programme but not hers. Looking at the sessions, there's a surprising amount of fitness stuff: a powerlifting demo, a champion strength athlete as a guest, panels on fat people in fitness, "fat girl parkour", burlesque dancing classes, a dance and a pool mermaid session... If it wasn't for the HAES-type talks and the "liberation" stuff, this could actually be an event that did some useful things for the obese community. Even the "how to deal with medical mistreatment" session could be good if it dealt with actual issues in medical mistreatment - but somehow one suspects it'll be about avoiding being talked to about weight...

[@UncleMikeDrop]

Celebrated? REALLY?! Celebrated for WHAT?

[@Louiseonajourney]

Existing? I feel like these people are the ones who truly supports participation trophies 😅

[@Andrew_O]

Where does JaeBae think this "photo representation" is going to actually be presented to the world? Think she's going to hand it to Hollywood and suddenly TV & movies will show it? How about advertising commissioned by private companies to sell their products? Nope, NONE of those will care. The only place this magic photo collection will be on display is their private echo chamber web servers. The rest of the world won't be going there. This does NOTHING.... so in that sense JaeBae was ironically accurate in saying that she was going to do "everything in her power".

[@boosqueezy2418]

she is a grifter

[@verdantvixen96]

More likely to be used as rage bait to drive engagement on TikTok for profit imo

[@noblegalifreyan4551]

Misery loves company

[@Andrew_O]

@@verdantvixen96 Oh for sure she is going to profit off of it. It's just not going to do anything at all for the people she's fleecing.

[@Buckeyelove]

So interested to see if you’re going to cover her “protest” she was supposed to to at SeaTac airport yesterday!! 😂

[@boosqueezy2418]

$1000 pays for a gym membership and a trainer …

[@Kangamoos]

Look, if i call something a global initiative to get content for my social media then it is ok? -Jaebae probably

[@boosqueezy2418]

jaebae definitely lol

[@kitapita]

Okay, first, ick. Jae Bae is just annoying AF and harming people with her rhetoric. I'm almost ashamed to say I'm from Western Washington knowing this convention is happening in Seattle. I should let my Uber driver friend know so he can maybe make some bank driving them around Seattle. The hills in Seattle can be brutal when you're not 300+ pounds.

[@wonwilwin]

I know right! Seattle (especially downtown) is basically just hills lol

[@kitapita]

@wonwilwin yup. I worked downtown for over a decade. I had issues with the hills, and I wasn't 300+ pounds.

[@DiMagnolia]

Only if their car can handle the weight, as we saw a couple videos ago

[@kitapita]

@DiMagnolia true. It's an Impala. I mean, ??? Depending on mobility, they might not even be able to get into that low of a vehicle. Lol. And he really doesn't have a discernable filter, either is

[@astridm9]

I have been working out at home for ten years, it’s just the easiest and most enjoyable way for me to be consistent. I have a few pairs of dumbbells and a mirror and my tv with KZbin workouts in front of me and that’s it. The gym excuse is a bad one!

[@britybearx3]

$100 general admission? what is this disneyland?

[@Sarah-gz4no]

Oh wow! I didn't know she could still talk. Since she's used voiceovers so often recently.

[@verdantvixen96]

that was the true revelation in this video tbh

[@artsbysaf4693]

been into 3 different gyms (commercial, private, and public) for the past 3 years, and one thing they have in common is that people don't give a poop about you and how you look (well, unless you're not wearing shoes/proper gym attire). They won't even offer to correct your form unless you ask them how to do a certain workout properly. It's mostly our insecurities that give us the feeling that people are making fun of us 24/7. I'm socially awkward and introvert since childhood, and I can say that it I'm more at peace in a gym than going to malls.

[@quinnvids]

lol claiming to be the first “fat owned” gym in the area is funny. I highly doubt that is true, most fat people who own any business just don’t walk around declaring their identity, because it’s silly as hell to do so.

[@boosqueezy2418]

jaebae is so delusional that even foodie beauty called her out …

[@savvy76]

man you know you're down bad when even foodie sees the delusion

[@noblegalifreyan4551]

You know you are insane when she calls you out.

[@reaganjacobson9913]

Wait really omg when/where was this?

[@ChronicallyAmused]

You dont even need a gym to work out. Free weights, cardio, etc. can be done at home.
