Telling people with eating disorders that everything's fine is even worse. Also, if your friend eats properly and works out they're not fat, they're heavy, noone is making fun of those. They probably won't let in into the club if you do.

The choices are not just “telling them that everything is fine” and straight-up body shaming. You can point out to someone that they have a problem without saying that they’re a “fat fuck”.

And about my friend, I’ve definitely heard people call him fat, or others be surprised when he says he goes to the gym. He’s not the ripped/bodyguard type, and that’s enough for “assumptions” apparently.

Is it so hard to just not make fun of people for their physical appearance? Like, if they deserve it there’s probably already something else about their personality to make fun of.
