I'm trying to practice my debating skills, so...

First, read this quote: "If you workout mainly for good looks, you are fatphobic"
So, my opinion is that there is nothing wrong with being fatphobic, also, a person can workout for mainly good looks because they WANT to look good and have no fear of being fat.

So, your goal would be to support that quote and convince me that I am wrong.

And btw, I am not fatphobic, I'm skinnyphobic, LOL
(Just kidding)
I wonder if anyone here actually supports that quote.
if they don't, that's good for society, if they do, that bad for society, but good for my debating skills.
I don't disagree with what you have written, and I do disagree with the quote "If you workout mainly for good looks, you are fatphobic", so I can't oblige as a sparring partner.

Of course, change the quote to "If you think someone else needs to improve their looks by working out, you are fatphobic" and then I agree with that statement.
Being obese may not be a persons fault. Genes could simply decide whether a person would be “fat.” Being fatphobic is generally unfair not many people, sometimes in the same way as being racist of homophobic. Many people have no control over their body, and some other people are unable to work out properly.
All this phobic stuff these days !. If i drive a car , am i walkphobic ? or am i just driving a car ? all the division of people these days with labels is dreadful to observe. One reason i avoid people in real life as much as possible. :).
And i'm aware of the irony. :).
