there's something that happens to a lot of people when they get older that can start probably anywhere from like 16-death where you just stop accepting new ideas, art, thoughts, anything and develop a bias that you see the world through that is based on some narrative that simplifies the world in a way that makes sense to you. once this happens it removes your ability to talk about anything relevant because you really just aren't able to because you're denying reality and trying to replace it with some other version of reality that isn't true. it hasn't happened to me yet and i fear the day that it does. but it seems to have happened to the majority of americans sometime in the last 10 years, including most of this site, and it's sad to see.
I don't think your mind should be *too* open when it gets older. At some point you have to have learned and experimented enough to start closing down some dead end trains of thought. I mean there's nothing sadder than an un-ironic, middle-aged communist.
There's a discovery phase to your intellectual life, then sooner or later you need to settle down and become wise.

like, why, OP, could you possibly care that mens fitness puts a fat dude on the cover? you'll cowards are really so terrified of of some bratty lazy college kids just trying to be edgy. why? are you not familiar with the protocol of how the world works? i can tell you right now that them putting that douche on the cover is going to do absolutely nothing to make him more attractive nor improve the health risks he is incurring by being overweight. and being afraid of these idiots who can shit out a lot of \ big words that support a stupid narrative…you know these people can't work, right? they might have jobs now at jezebel or whatever but that's more of a fad and it's only a very small portion of them.
Because it's indicative of a general trend. In 2020 it's a fad, a sideshow freakshow publicity stunt. In 2030 or 2040? It's probably normal. Soy is just ahead of the curve here.
Remember, progressives have the power to re-define words, and do so all the time. Human rights, equality, race, sex... hell they're even now re-defining 'man' and 'woman'. So in the future, these fat people will just as unattractive, but attractive will mean something completely different, and you'll be shunned for using an archaic early 21st century meaning of attractive that means... attractive.
