Should shock no one, but will "shock" those that insist their favorite punching bag routine is actual a service to the world.

It also may make them lose weight....so what is this proving?

You can literally make any argument as long as you put "may" in it. You're not even actually making an argument, you're just making a theory.

Then again, I don't care enough about this to actually click on the link.

This just in, hitting on a girl MAY get you sex....or it MAY just get you slapped. Bottom line is "may" isn't worth the time of day :3

shaming can work but it also can not work and even make things worse. so it sounds to me like shaming is a bad idea statistically

im fairly certain it is impossible to be a fat kid in school and not be teased for being fat. at least a little bit.

and while teasing and bullying isnt right, we should still definitely get the point across that being overweight or obese is unhealthy and should be worked on.

No one is saying that being overweight is good here, but it turns out that bullying hurts others. You are the ones getting upset at what should be a very uncontroversial result.

What counts as being teased though? I've heard people say the doctor telling them to lose weight "hurt" them

For the purposes of the present study, the [Weight based teasing] frequency subscale (eg, People made fun of you because you were heavy; People called you names likefatso.) was assessed (six items; Cronbach's= .81). Participants were asked to indicate how often each experience had occurred (ranging from 1 = never to 5 = veryoften). Total scores range from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater frequency of WBT.

I mean, some people hate the idea of the world becoming a bunch of pussies that need to have all conversations and subjects tip toed around. I mean if you're actually fat than when you look in the mirror your consciousness tells you "yo, you're fat" anyway. Just like when I do my conscious goes "you're fuckin scrawny bruh" and Im like "eh, that's cool, it is what it is" and I move on.

People need to be ok with not being perfect, instead of being called perfect regardless of imperfections.

Like what are these magical results people think will happen? "People made me feel good about being fat so now Ill have more ambition to lose weight!" ....like what?

Kids respond to negative reinforcement by stress eating and conforming to what people believe them to be. None of this should be news.

Not at all surprising, but I'm not sure why anyone assumed that kids who make fun of fat kids are somehow doing it as a means to make them lose weight. It's almost always done to belittle them.
