@nguyenfoodstall: Vietnamese aunties love language: calling you fat 🥲. Let’s learn the difference between being called “Mập” and “Béo” 🍑🍑🍑#learningvietnamese #vietnamese #vietnameseculture

🪎 :

The beauty standard in Vietnam is just crazy. My very petite very thin sister was called curvy by a tailor. I think it's just none of their business if you are married, fat, how old you are, and how much money you earn.

Jen :

I wear a medium in US sizes and 4XL in Vietnamese sizes.

Mr. Italy :

you are not fat, not at all.

Danny :

Your not fat, your beautiful

🍦 :

this but im actually fat

Mẹ bỉm 6 coan choá :

She was telling you “bự”, meaning “tall” or “muscular”, and i don’t think she was saying it in an offensive way at all.

Me :

Disney needs to use your voice for a Vietnamese character! You have the most lovely speaking voice!

kat :

i would cry 😭😭😭

supermom8186 :

So rude

Phan Thị Thanh Hà792 :

She called you a big girl, doesn’t literally mean fat. Some mothers in the countryside of Vietnam want their children to grow up big and strong. As they somehow reflect their efforts/ sucess in raising the child.

SwayDawg :

I could never go there. I would cry every day

gw_____5567 :

Going to vietnam in a couple of months and as someone who was bullied before because of my weight, im getting anxious 🥺

Yota_crabcakes :

I was just in Vietnam for 2 weeks and was HUMBLEDDDD 😭

Gachapon :

It doesn’t help though when you’re a young girl growing up and people calling you fat and yeah you aren’t like super skinny but I look back at photos. I’m like I wasn’t really fat and that really affected me a lot about my body image self-esteem was very self-conscious and still very self-conscious and actually and now I’m actually probably fat so

rdoremi :

Im also Viet: I don’t think the comment section listened 😭😭😭

LD :

Thank you for telling me cz im never going

Sandeli :

Idk commenting anyone's looks is trashy.

Rain :

hey girly i'm also "overweight" in my filipino culture and i am a small medium size

juliadreamfr :

whaaaat??!?!??!

toddcdean :

You look fabulous

ari :

i don't get the urge ppl have to say everything on their minds aloud...

Thanh :

Girl ppl called me pregnant

lawyer.afterhours :

Wow😭 I would cry

It makes me question why being called “fat” is seen as offensive in the first place. The issue isn’t the word…it’s the meaning society has loaded onto it. Challenging that stigma is key if we want to move away from fatphobia. Because when we immediately label the word as offensive, we also reinforce the idea that being fat is something negative or undesirable. That reaction doesn’t dismantle stigma,it quietly sustains it. Reframing “fat” as a neutral descriptor, rather than something harmful, is part of shifting the conversation toward respect, acceptance, and a more honest understanding of body diversity.
