The cult of thinness, so extreme on occasions that they return 90s trends like heroin chichas never been good. Being thin is not synonymous with healthand judging the weight of another person because yes is nothing more than giving an opinion that nobody has asked for.
We have recently seen body shaming with Selena Gomezand recently and during the Goya Awards gala, with Berta Vazquez. Now the fat-phobic comments come from a regular of the controversies, the Galician streamer The Xokas that seems to raise the bread every time he opens his mouth.
“You don’t change your physique because you are lazy shit”
If with this statement of “You don’t change your physique because you are undisciplined and lazy shit” it does not seem to you that the streamer has lost his mind, we are going to have a problem. Not only because this free attack is a very clear example of fatphobiabut because he is anything but right.

From Vitónica they explain it to us perfectly why has he screwed up so much in the video, and there are many reasons that can lead us not to lose weightand judging someone in this way because of their weight can have dire consequences for their mental health.
Yeah congratulating on weight loss can be dangerous For mental health, according to our Vitónica experts, judging someone and accusing them of being lazy for not losing weight is even worse. Pesocentrism can cause psychological problems that comments like that of the Xokas only aggravate.
Imagine that you have been six months going to the gymeating better and still, you can’t lose weight. You listen to what El Xokas says, who calls you a “shit bum” even though you’re running on the treadmill 4 days a week and sweating like a pig, and the world is closing in on you because you wonder if you’re not doing enough.
The responsibility of the influencer
The discourse that each person can have a different opinion is lost when what we are doing is disrespecting and inciting hatred. And the worst is that who does it, has a brutal influence on his public. El Xokas is followed by 1.1 M people on Twitter, one million on Instagram and 3.2 M on twitch.
The most fun streamer? Yeah.
The best? Also. pic.twitter.com/HBflG2CKfI— Grefg =) (@TheGrefg) April 28, 2022
Iria Reguera, psychologist and editor-in-chief at Trendencias explained to us that thehe human being tends to imitate others. “Humans seek to be part of social groups to feel identified with others, especially in adolescence, which is when we are creating who we are.” Most of the followers of El Xokas are teenagers. In fact, Iria adds that “influencers are very accessible figures and it is easy for this identification to occur with them.”
His streaming style is aggressive, violent in speaking, with many words and with many unfortunate comments, but if he is broadcasting live and even half of his audience sees him, he is already influencing 1.6 million people.
Weight changes have always weighed more in societyand comments like the streamer’s only encourages you to follow, follow and continue on a horrible loop where we have to listen to unsolicited opinions about our bodies. But what can we expect from the Xokas if he has already made it clear that he is a manual Slytherin in the style of the one who must not be named.
Grefg: I’m going to Cancun after putting Ibai and Auron to fight for an invented prize.
Biyin: What a funadón.
Illojuan: illo haha look at a pear with the face of Guille.
The Xoker: I’m totally incancelable and the most outstanding student of Slytherin: https://t.co/at3fGLZtbX pic.twitter.com/4kzktrXDiw— XOKAS (@elxokas) February 7, 2023
