It seems the Fat Acceptance movement might have simmered down a lot, yeah? I wonder if it was the Ozempic. That drug and similar ones made it clear that a lot of people were just eating too much and lying about it. Hard to keep up the fiction of “starvation mode” and other such bullshit with semaglutides out there.

But also, the FA cultural moment most likely just passed. Movements that predicate themselves on failure and apathy tend not to endure all that long, after all. They self-extinguish. And good riddance, too.
