At this point, we really have to ask whether Candace Owens just wakes up every morning and chooses violence. The talk show host and author hopped onto Twitter on Wednesday to sound off on her thoughts about Lizzo‘s social media snaps, which she refers to as “fat acceptance” photos.
While the “Truth Hurts” singer has always embraced her curves and is a huge advocate for women to embrace their bodies no matter their size, Owens argued in her recent tweet that people who defend Lizzo by calling her beautiful in the comment section are “bats*** insane.”
Owens was replying to a tweet about obesity supposedly being on the rise and instead of addressing these problems, celebrities are said to be encouraging other women to continue leading an unhealthy lifestyle. “Only women could be emotionally manipulated into supporting their own eradication via support for “trans men,” Owens started off by saying.
Only women could be emotionally manipulated into supporting their own eradication via support for “trans men”.
Only women could be fooled into supporting a death cult of “fat acceptance”.
Today’s cultural battles prove that women are more irrational and emotional than men. https://t.co/1hi8RZZJbC

“Only women could be fooled into supporting a death cult of “fat acceptance. Today’s cultural battles prove that women are more irrational and emotional than men.”
She then followed up with perhaps the most controversial part about her thoughts on Lizzo’s photos, adding, “If you peep comments on any of Lizzo’s “fat acceptance” photos, you will undoubtedly find a score of batshit insane women telling her that she looks beautiful.” Owens concluded that men would not lie to each other in this manner and wouldn’t pretend that obesity is something that should be glorified or considered beautiful.
In the past, Lizzo has responded to the backlash with grace and positivity. She has emphasized the importance of self-love and body positivity, stating that we should love ourselves regardless of our size. Furthermore, the Grammy winner has also called out the media for perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards and promoting a culture of body shaming.
Societal beauty standards can have a significant impact on mental health. They can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and depression. They can also contribute to the development of eating disorders, anxiety, and other mental health issues. It is essential to challenge these standards and promote a culture of body positivity and self-love.
Representation in media is critical for promoting body positivity and self-love. When people see themselves represented in the media, they feel validated and accepted. This can lead to a more positive self-image and a healthier relationship with one’s body. It is essential to promote diversity and inclusivity in the media to combat fat shaming and promote body positivity.
Owens’words have sparked an important conversation about body image, fat shaming, and the impact of societal beauty standards on mental health. It is essential to challenge these standards and promote a culture of body positivity and self-love.
We can do this by educating ourselves and others, challenging beauty standards, and supporting organizations that promote body positivity. We must also promote diversity and inclusivity in the media to combat fat shaming and promote body positivity. Let’s celebrate all bodies and promote a culture of acceptance and inclusivity.
