Fat shaming is very normalized in Asia as a continent
in brown household it's very prominent. Your family members would make jokes out of your weight and height. I got body shamed by my family and friends too. They used to call me skeleton, bamboo or tooth pick because I was too thin. Things like these are so normalized and people have adapted to this behaviour as well. We also can't say anything against them all we do is give an awkward smile because that's how we were raised. I think many Asians have gone through such things like me.Exactly. People fr need to know that it is a common thing here in Asian households. Same with the colorist jokes. We find this to be more as a friendly joke as this is heavily normalized.

I'm not even asian but in my country it's very normal to call someone toothpick, skeleton or stick and the same goes for overweight people. IMHO it's not negative at all and could help people get in shape or improve their body, sort of like a motivation. Just saying, it seems like it's common in most countries.
It's not always good. I'm naturally thin. My mom was thin too when she was young. I know I'm thin but the more people keep pointing it out the more I feel less confident about my body and weight. I feel like I need to eat more in order to gain weight but no matter how much I eat I don't gain weight. If someone is born thin and has always been thin then it's their body structure there's no need to point it out all the time or make them feel bad about their body.
