What does FitPhobic mean?
FitPhobic Defined
Showing unreasonable dislike or unfair treatment of people because they are fit.
A movement has been long underway to undermine the fitness goals of others in an effort to accept people they way they are. People that eat right, stay healthy, and exercise frequently experience discrimination, bias, and are subjected to ridicule. Fitphobia is a way to spread harmful and dangerous behaviors.
Fitphobic people can spread fear, shame others for trying to better themselves, and try to make fit people feel bad for caring about their healthy lifestyle. The perpetrators mostly feel bad about themselves, so they want to bring others down to their level to feel better. These habits and behaviors are mostly taught by fitphobic parents, but are prevalent in the education system, the media, and fitphobic rhetoric is even spread by celebrities.
Fitphobia is dangerous and can lead to negative outcomes, such as fear, pain, depression, and even death.
