@mur2501 indeed

@waltercool I thinkk we all know being overweight is unhealthy (though some people may not be willing to admin it)... So clearly im going to disagree with the headline here that "being plus size is not unhealthy"... But I think this also misses the real issue... The issue is when an overweight person is in the media and people feel they have the right to point out their weight or attack them for it... that is absolutely uncalled for.

The issue is exemplified in countless examples. Most models are unhealthy because they are too skinny, which can be just as dangerous as being ovberweight.. yet where is the outrage everytime an underweight model is shown? Its the disparity that is the issue.

@mur2501 no :(

@mur2501 nice, ill play along :)

@mur2501

done

@herid and to discuss actual problems that are new we need to look at hsitoric problems of the same nature so we can have a productive conversation. You want to censor information based on some dictator taking away the autonomy if people because they dont like some information. So yes its important to look at historic examples of that and the consequences to decide if we shoukd repeat the same pattern yet again.

@herid of course this situation actualy arises. Are you claiming no books exist which have medical quackery in them?

@herid shoukd we burn books that have meducal misinfirmation in them? Why or why not?

@realcaseyrollins

Yup, the death threat he got included a video of a very gruesom and real woman being murdered. It was quite graphic.

@Romaq @LouisIngenthron

@herid as i said at the begining, the science says that abolishing and censoring thibgs increases their adoption. So on that alone trying to censor it woukd in fact cause their spread to increase. We have already seen this with places like twitter blockibg covid misinformation and yet the soread of such opinions only accelerated, just ad the science would have predicted.

It seems quite abusive to take it upon myself to cripple people from beibg to see somethibg because i deem it incorrect. We are a science instance, it isnt welcome here.

Yes its the sane idea as burning books, you are tryibg to act as information police, we know historically that always winds up on the wrong side of history with far more harm than the information ever posed.

@mur2501 I can....

@herid yes?

@lucifargundam

People are crazy, always finding drama in kindness.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven im usually lretty generous with my gift giving. When i was in the usa id give christmas gifts to random people on the street sometimes.

@herid what if the book is filled with dangerous medical quackery? How is that different?

@herid similarly i wouldnt host a book in a medical library that was antivax. It would simply be a waste of space on our shelves. But if someone who has a card at my library wants to request the book i wouldnt prevent them from doing so

@unamanic yea i just heard that... she actually wasnt honest about this. Qoto was an issue on hackyderms part and thry knew about it they had a whole thread on it. She blocked qoto knew this, and that is the only reason their qoto followers didnt come along.
