It's genuinely great to hear that that wasn't the overall goal or intention of the idea.

That said, I think it also does need to be acknowledged that there absolutely were prominent influencers on social media who preached HAES literally - as in, posting videos vehemently declaring the doctors are lying to you and obesity is actually perfectly healthy.

I guess as with many other things, it's a case of the extreme outliers (who in this case, as you say, didn't even get the point) getting the most attention and spoiling things for the sane people.

I'm just curious, could you expand on what the rules are pertaining to this subject here? This is the first I've heard of it, since the Rules on the sidebar don't mention it.
