    Yeah to some degree, but no to some degree. Kids will sometimes say non-judgemental descriptive things like in this comic, but other times they say massively judgemental rude things. Like instead of saying your belly is soft they’ll say “ew your belly is so fat” or “your butt is broken, it hangs way down”.

    Let’s not pretend kids are non-judgemental, often times they’re the most judgemental of all

      Yeah, but they do still learn that from somewhere. They don’t come out of the womb with derision for fat people, it’s very much cultural.

      Who taught them those things though? If their environment (generally at home) teaches them that being fat is gross or bad, then yes, kids will repeat those things.

      If you’re incapable of teaching your kids how to properly socialize then you probably… Okay, never mind. I realized as I was typing how hopeless this endless nightmare is.
