When I was in Japan with my father on a business trip one of the Japanese business associates there gave me a sumo wrestling shirt that he insisted I wear at this fish market we went to. I was 6’5 and 320lbs at the time, I literally had people coming up to me to take photos and talk to me. It was actually one of the coolest experiences ever. The guy who gave me the shirt knew exactly what he was doing and was laughing his ass off.

"When I see you I say, *"WOW DIABETES!"*
"You ate and left no crumbs but that's because you ate so much you also ate the crumbs goddamn!"🤣🥺

Josh did a good job portraying the downsides of both the cultures. Both of the cultures trivialize the actual importance of a healthy weight, which is to have a properly functioning body. One culture puts one's weight on the pedestal because they perceive weight as a medium to fit into society and gain social approval, and one culture on the other hand glorifies one being proud of having an unhealthy body weight, also for social and societal approval. Both excessively superficial in their own ways and depict the facade of body image and its commercial marketing. Even though people see him just as a funny guy, this guy is intellectually gifted as to humor or comic writing. Good job Josh 👏

In Japan:
- never bullied in person because everyone would avoid/ignore you
- plus sized clothes don't exist

I'm a Korean woman in her 20s. My height is about 163cm, and when I weighed 60kg, there were literally no clothes that fit me. The only clothes that fit me were the ones in 'international sizes', in Zara/H&M/etc.

Most of the clothes in Korea are in either s/m or so called 'free size', but the free sized ones barely fit me when I was about 55kg.

In uni I was 55kg and was called chubby - people here don't even say this behind my back, they just spit it out right in my face lol - and after being anorexic for a semester I was 49kg. Only then did the 'free sized' clothes comfortably fit me.

As Josh portrayed, fat shaming others in their faces sure is a horrible habit of our country, but the clothing industry also contributes a lot to 'compulsory downsizing' of people, especially women. There simply is nothing to wear if you are slightly 'chubby' by Korean standards.

In my opinion our openly fat-shaming culture and ridiculous one-size-fits-all clothing industry work hand in hand to diffuse body dysmorphia throughout the society. Although our country has the second lowest obesity rate among OECD countries, most people consider themselves fat because others openly call them so. Embracing body positivity and letting it permeate the clothing industry thus forcing it to change is crucial in our country.

"oOOoooOH then you need to that had me crying 😭🤣

[keerabondar]

I mean honestly I would rather have someone being that honest to me then have a lying friend/best friend💀

Asians are pretty direct in general regarding weight. Basically it's everyone's business to comment.
When I lost a ton of weight, I received loads of comments from my relatives that I am getting too skinny. Then when I put on just 5kg, my great grandaunt literally squeezed my arms and said, "Aren't you getting too fat?" I was 50kg (158cm) 😂

I was going to say something about how great your American girl impression was, but then that "*tHeN yOu NeEd To DiE*" got me
🤣

My sister was once greeted by a newly arrived Indian colleague with "oh, you've gained weight!" She explained that in the UK that was not a compliment. The Indian colleague was so embarrassed when they realised they'd just insulted my sister. I, on the other hand, thought it was hilarious. Because I'm such a supportive sibling.

We need gen z and Asian aunties in a reality show together 💀

Edit: omg 2.6k likes it's my first time lol you guys are too good (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[rxddhiii]

"When I look at you I see diabetes" 💀

[guesswho]

Bruh I fr thought that asians were exaggerating with how their aunties and uncles fat-shame them but then I encountered my mom‘s chinese colleague and he casually dropped midst conversation that „You‘ve grown quite a lot horizontally since last time I saw you“ with his thicc ass accent and innocet smile☠️

I thought it was more funny than anything but dayumn I take my words about exaggerating back

No joke the girl from my school had anorexia and ate one apple a day. You could tell her brain was working a 30% compared to her past self. It felt like she was dying.. She's recovered now and is living a healthy life.

[WeakBambi]

I prefer brutal honesty over fake bull shit and people just saying it behind your back. I grew up experiencing both and I felt a lot less crazy having a family out right tell me something versus them whispering about it while lying to my face. 🙃
