This Army Bro Turned Fitness Instructor Just Tore Into All The Fat Acceptance Trends Going On Today

 

Buzzfeed – An army veteran named John Burk, who describes himself as a “fitness motivator,” has gone viral for a Facebook video in which he describes overweight people as “utterly repulsive and disgusting.”

“To the overweight people: No, I’m not going to accept you for who you are, with that bullshit excuse of ‘you should love me because I’m beautiful,’” the 31-year-old says in the clip.

“Your personality might be beautiful, but your body is not,” he adds. “It is not OK to be overweight.”

Burk’s target is not people “dealing with a thyroid problem or things like that,” but the “lazy” people who become obese and then let their children become obese, which he says will lead to them getting bullied.

“And then you’re going to wonder why your children are getting made fun of in school. Yeah, that’s a fact of life, people. Bullying is out there, there are bullies out there. Who are they going to go for first? Overweight kids. That’s just how life is.”

 

This guy John Burk is slinging HEAT at everyone online with this rant. And with the way Buzzfeed positioned the article, I can tell they want to stir up the Internet Outrage Machine to have this guy apologize or be harassed endlessly by the social justice warrior types. But why? Sure it’s a bit abrasive but everything he said was rooted in fact. And if I’m someone looking to change for the better, this is the kind of guy you need motivating you. Someone who’s going to borderline cuckold you if you ate Oreos the night before and couldn’t get through your workout. The Planet Fitness “everyone come in and try your best and here’s some free pizza too, you deserve it” mindset doesn’t work and, given how obesity is one thing that indirectly costs us all a lot of money, if this guy opens some eyes by going all in on it, good for him.

 

Also as a lesson to anyone about to cry about fat shaming, don’t you dare cross John Burk unless you want to get meme’d to death:
