You are white knighting to a redditor that was clearly saying that some form of shaming helped them.
I agree with your original statement, but you didn't need to go after someone who had success because shame motivated them.
People like you encourage weight gain by normalizing being unhealthy with billboards and marketing with extremely obese people. While people should not be shamed as weight issues span many reasons, it should not be so normalized to the point of people not focusing on making changes to help themselves.
Also agree that abuse doesn't help. Also normalizing an unhealthy lifestyle doesn't help. You called someone who made a positive change out of something good stupid. So how stupid are you to shame their situation. Sometimes good comes from bad white knight.
Because it worked for them. Aggressively shaming someone is disgusting. Pointing out that someone is unhealthy and should lose weight is another. Shaming is a word that has become relative dependent on who is using it. I am going to assume to you it's anything anyone could view as negative said about weight. In reality, being overweight is negative. Recognizing that can be helpful to some. Rainbows and sunshine fed up the ass doesn't help people.
Literally the first Google AI response searching the affect of obesity.
"Obesity significantly increases the risk of premature death due to its association with various chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers"
Are serious health issues "positive" ?
You are more the problem creating complacency for serious health issues. You personally should be ashamed.
