People are annoyed by the body positive movement not for its roots by for who took it over. People with privilege are again taking over a movement. I recommend going to read the article called “#BodyPositive? A critical exploration of the body positive movement within physical cultures taking an intersectionality approach” by Meridith Griffin, K. Alysse Bailey and Kimberly J. Lopez.

In the paper, they examine is how capitalized and white the movement because. Like how only white, cis, fitter or mid sized individuals are the ones using the movement to amplify themselves and that there’s a lack of representation by those that started the movement, and the removal of the platforms of LGBTQIA2S + , older people, actually plus sized people, and disabled people in favor of heavy set or fit white people. They also talk about how it was “commodified and packaged into a product or service for consumption.”

The true body positive movement is to be intersectional, and not meant to make white people (who don’t face as many barriers), money.
