Some things simply are negative, sure. I think we can all agree that murder is negative on the whole, for example.

But you are making a HUGE leap here in assuming that GLP1 agonists "simply are negative". You have not remotely supported this logical leap. All studies in fact have shown that GLP1 agonists are significantly positive: That they improve health, reduce obesity, reduce all-cause mortality, etc. You are denying observed reality across a large number of double blinded, objective clinical trials.

What's the explanation for why GLP1 medications are negative things? There are a very minor subset of people that have some medically significant adverse reactions, but it is VERY small. We don't have any evidence to my knowledge of any long term risks with being on it.

If someone has a broken leg, the word "crutch" isn't derogatory in the first place.

Cessation tools are not negative. Yes, root causes of abuse should be addressed, but aids are aids.

Is using glasses to see a crutch? Asking as someone who needs them as much as I need the prescribed-for-life medications I’ve been prescribed.

All these people are calling it a crutch are moralizing tongue clicking, holier than thou Calvinists who think you shouldn’t be able to be thin unless you bootstrapped yourself to thinness with your own blood sweat and tears, as though this viewpoint represents some abstract understanding of the world instead of merely a smug sense of self righteousness.
