“Although I’m happy to see her get healthier, sadly, her BS message has poisoned the brains of millions of young people who are probably more confused than anything at her recent transformation.”
Steve added that it wasn’t his intention to hate “on obese people,” but he was annoyed by those “doing mental gymnastics to promote obesity as a healthy and positive lifestyle when every single piece of data says the opposite.”
“I’m not saying that everybody has to look like a fitness model either,” he clarified.

His post was met with mixed reactions. While some commented that his analysis was “spot on,” others argued that he showed a “surface-level” understanding of the body positivity movement, which, they said, is not about embracing unhealthy behaviors but about promoting self-love.
In a 2020 interview with Vogue before her transformation, Lizzo spoke about the importance of normalizing larger bodies in society.
“What I don’t like is how the people that this term [body positive] was created for are not benefiting from it,” she told the magazine.
“I thought obesity should be celebrated and promoted. Isn’t this the message that you’ve been spewing for the last half-decade?” he said on Instagram

“Girls with back fat, girls with bellies that hang, girls with thighs that aren’t separated, that overlap. Girls with stretch marks. You know, girls who are in the [size] 18-plus club. They need to be benefiting from…the mainstream effect of body positivity now.”
