Complaints about complaining

So many times I've heard/read people complain about all sorts of things. Honestly, most of those times I could not care less BUT I was just reading an article this morning (which debates on the "fat/thin sexiness struggle") and it made me want to write something. I feel like beyond the specific health related issues with body weight, the aesthetics totally rely upon the person emitting the judgement. In other words, I can relate to both, those non-skinny people saying how a voluptuous figure is the sexiest and those other who argue that the real beauty is that based on the regular fashion ads. It all gets bad when I hear those anti-skinny say that pro-skinny beauty are against them and other paranoid opinions (do you really think their biggest concern is to diminish the "larger" sizes? seriously?). In my opinion, perception of "what is sexy" depends on every person and does not necessarily mean that a specific person will advocate against another person with a different opinion. Isn't it all about judgement? I can't even tell how many times I found myself judging other people's judgement.  Just like people complaining about other people, let's say the I-hate-hipsters-for-being-so-damn-pretentious, well aren't you pretentious too? After all you're emitting a judgement based on your opinion that you know more stuff than they do and therefore they're just pretending... And so it goes on and on, people complain about too much religion, no religion at all, science, politics, and pretty much anything, even this post came out as a complaint about everyone being annoying while complaining.

Disclaimer: I'm not pro or against voluptuous figures, I'm pro healthy (which in my head translates to a healthy diet, regular physical activity and a balanced life). About looks, all I can say is that I look up to athletic figures (I definitely see sexy as tight skinny vs voluptuous saggy and the other way around, tight voluptuous vs saggy skinny).
