Or, like almost everything in the world, the reality falls somewhere in between.

We can control a lot, but not everything, and the circumstances that people have no control over can affect a lot.

I mean this sincerely, but congrats on overcoming the circumstances around your birth and upbringing. But just because you did so doesn't mean it's that simple for everyone else. And people who need a little help to overcome the specific issues they're dealing with aren't lesser because of it.

So what about fat rich people who grow up in nuclear families next to organic markets?

I'm just here to read about gyaru.

I'm so glad others like that song. I got it stuck in my head at one point and it never left haha.

Like why would ozempic even be a bad thing?

I've been thinking about it more and I'm so tired of people calling things like liposuction and other surgeries "cheating" as well.
Ozempic is not expensive and it's not like you can enjoy eating everything you want and will magically lose weight, you can still only eat small portions, it's just easier to endure it. Same with a stomach correction. And liposuction because you are also not allowed to gain more than 5 kg again after the operation.
All these treatments are expensive but that doesn't necessarily mean they are for the overly privileged, some people don't have a lot of money but they prioritize these procedures over other things people spend their money on. The same goes for cosmetic surgery and lasers and beauty treatments. There is so much hard work to pay for it and so much pain we go through to look in a way that's also for our own benefit but also largely to look good for others and people will just ridicule it like it's nothing.

I lasered my eyeballs and punched holes in my ears and slice my hair with sharp metal on a regular basis so I can't really complain about someone taking drugs or doing physical body modifications without being a Hippocrite.

The problem is for a while, so many people were using Ozempic who didn't have an actual medical need for it (i.e. diabetics or obese people who needed the medication to help control their conditions), it caused shortages of it and other GLP-1 inhibitors. That could have potentially lethal consequences. At one point, one benefits administrator in the US was rejecting 84% of claims for it.

I do find it really ironic that we have someone who obviously finds the "extreme" body modifications (surgical, medicinal, and topical) of the gyaru style attractive while also poo-pooing people who do the fairly tame thing of taking a GLP-1 inhibitor for weight loss.
