Telling a morbidly obese person not to lose weight because they're beautiful is like telling an alcoholic not to stop drinking because they're fun
He's out of line, but he's right
Overview
A two-panel meme using screenshots from a movie, likely 'Captain America: Civil War'. The top panel shows a man (inferred as Bucky Barnes) sitting in an airplane seat, gesturing with his hands while speaking. Overlaid text reads: 'Telling a morbidly obese person not to lose weight because they're beautiful is like telling an alcoholic not to stop drinking because they're fun'. The bottom panel shows another man (inferred as Sam Wilson) sitting in an airplane seat, looking upwards with a thoughtful expression. Overlaid text reads: 'He's out of line, but he's right'. The meme presents a controversial comparison between discouraging weight loss for obese individuals (framed as affirming beauty) and discouraging sobriety for alcoholics (framed as affirming fun).
Origin notes
This meme is a remix of existing movie screenshots, likely from 'Captain America: Civil War' (2016), featuring actors Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie as Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson. The original scenes were edited with overlaid text to create a provocative comparison. Such memes are commonly shared on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram to express controversial opinions. No visible watermarks or author credits are present, suggesting it was user-created through basic image editing software (e.g., Photoshop, mobile editors) to add text overlays.
