This is what happens when you search Facebook for “Fat Acceptance”. Go ahead, try it for yourself. Facebook has taken it upon itself to literally erase Fat Acceptance in favor of promoting fat shaming and fat stigmatization. When someone wants to find about Fat Acceptance, Facebook has opted to stand in their way and hand out a weight loss pamphlet instead.
Lest you think its because they are just loading content from Wikipedia, when you search “fat acceptance” on Wikipedia, it redirects you to their page for “Fat Acceptance movement”. Someone had to make a choice to silence Fat Acceptance on Facebook. This is what disenfranchisement looks like. This is what marginalization looks like.
Remember this the next time someone is bothered about how fat activists are silencing dieting. And write a letter to Facebook and demand that they stop disenfranchising fat acceptance in this utterly indefensible manner. My considerable thanks to Miss Mary Max and @Sullenmel for letting me know about this total and utter bullshit.
I both clicked “This is not what I wanted” and then “Report Page” -> “Miscategorized page”
Not sure what else can be done except spread the word and have as many people as possible do this.
Both steps are important. When you try to insist that you wanted “fat acceptance”, you’ll just find the “dieting” page duplicated there which will need to be reported. It asserts its from Wikipedia, but we saw above, that’s bullshit.
signal boost!
Wow, this is seriously fucked up.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT??!!
clearly you are butthurt dicks who need other people to validate your fat acceptance.

Enough people have said something to get this changed. The search now brings up an actual page for fat acceptance.
