i have this girl whos nice otherwise and ive known her for a really long time but she posts all these dreadful fat shaming posts on fb and i get so sad about them i want to reply like “hey im fat and sentiments like this made me have an eating disorder for a long time can you maybe have some sensitivity and consider ppl like that when you post”
No one made you have an eating disorder. Take responsibility for your own issues
no one made you come into my lane either but here you are
Brilliant(te) avoidance of my point
i dont think i should have to justify myself to someone who is just trying to antagonize people (after a look at your blog)…all i did was post about how something someone did made me feel bad about myself. youre just kind of talking down to someone whos already down. do you consider the things you post before you post them?
My blog is roughly 50% fandom, 50% pointing out dumb stuff. If you wanted your “lane” to be private, than posting on a social media site is the wrong way to go. Once again, avoiding taking responsibility for the situation.
If you are a fat person who wants fatphobia to privilege you because you’re not THAT fat… I will take great joy in exacerbating your barely repressed eating disorders. You are literally the worst kind of fatphobe. You’re the one looking for conditional thin privilege, and I will methodically strip you of it, you chubby fucking traitor…
See? I care about more things than transfeminism and anti-classism.
Betrayal of the implicit chub contract, sealed with menstrual blood and man tears?
It’s more that of the two responses to oppression:
1) Oppression is shitty, you should stop doing that.
2) Well, okay, but you shouldn’t include me…
The latter is far more the mark of the cowardly special snowflake.
Ok that makes more sense I guess. Thanks for clarifying. You never know with tumblr

Okay, but the 6′4″ physically abusive weight lifter I had for a father… who screamed at five-year-old me, like in full Arnie GETONDACHOPPANOWWWWW! mode, that I was going to be dead at 25 of a coronary because I was picky…
Let me say that again, five…
… Surely he helped, right? Like, you think it was all my personal moral failing there? That simply if I’d been a less bratty five year old, all this would go away?
Also, France has half the obesity prevalence of the United States. France. Do you think that’s because France has more of a culture of personal responsibility?
Or are you not the obtuse, self-congratulatory, blitheringly economically ignorant asshole you appear to be? If so, why haven’t you taken responsibility for your own narcissistic issues with fat people getting in the way of evidence-driven discovery? Why are you contributing to a public policy climate where people keep yelling shit at the poor and the abused instead of ending subsidies for corn and transferring every dollar to, you know lettuce and other non-sugar crop produce subsidies?
Oh, right, because you need to feel better about yourself more than you need to give a shit about public health policy.
What an incredible extrapolation on my life and views, from such a short response.

And boiled brussel sprouts because fried has too many calories
I wish you a tablespoon of vinegar every morning
And two bites of dry toast before you’ve had enough carbs for the day
I want to wish you all of these things
A life of mediocrity and blonde highlighted bob haircuts
A life of reasonable tanning salon prices
And gift cards to restaurants you won’t actually eat at
I want to… But I can’t
Because I’ve been there and I know where you’re coming from
Society has packaged, bottled, and boxed our insecurities
Our ugly truths
And sold them back to us in pink and for a profit
Shave, wax, tweeze
Slimmer, trimmer, fitter
Fit into the box that they want you in
So that they can categorize you as worthy
But you’re already worthy
They just don’t want you to know it
But i want you to know it
Like I learned it from someone like me
I wish for you, really wish for you
Days of chocolate cake and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins
Of good meals with family and friends, filled with laughter
Where no one mentions carbs, calories, or fat, and they just enjoy
Of salads WITH the croutons and full fat dressing
And fruit picked fresh from your garden
I wish for you to see the joy in food
I wish for you to see the joy in yourself
And most of all?
I wish you a life free from the judgement of others
Projection, and assumptions about what a person has to eat in order to be thin. I’m rail thin, and I eat entire pizzas for myself regularly. I run like twice a week, for like 2 hours. Some Good points, but it’s a narrow representation of reality
Are you happy with your weight? I used to be heavier than you and thought I felt happy, but I lost weight and I feel like a completely new person. I used to be fat positive as well, but realized that encouraging obesity is just as bad as shaming obesity. There should be a middle ground: not shaming fat people, but not lying to fat people that being overweight is beautiful or healthy. I don't judge you or any overweight people, but check out the fat acceptance movement on wikipedia if you want :)
You think reverse racism, cisphobia, heterophobia, and misandry are real
You think “All Lives Matter” is a legitimate statement that isn’t racist
You’re proud to call yourself a “grammar nazi” and look down on people who can’t spell or write as fluently in English as you can
You think that lightly making fun of someone based on a privileged identity is the exact same thing as someone using a privileged identity to deny someone non-privileged their basic human rights/further a stereotype/harm them
You don’t understand why you can’t use slurs and don’t think they’re a big deal (including g*psy and r**ard)
You hate feminists (unless we’re talking TERFs or SWERFs, I hate them too)
You’re ok with body policing or fat-shaming (or concern trolling fat people “for their health”)
I do not consent to you following me, and anyone with these views make me very uncomfortable and cause me anxiety.

This blog is 99% FR, and I do have a blog where I post about stuff like the above, but I feel the need to make this post here so that I can continue to enjoy my FR experience comfortably and safely. I have had to black-list dramarising, as one of the recent entries caused me a lot of anxiety.

THIS POST IS NOT AN INVITATION TO DEBATE. Coming into my inbox to tell me how I stupid or wrong I am will result in me blocking you. I have done my research. I continue to do further research on these topics. Go do your own and don’t involve me.
Please and thank you.
She doesn’t CONSENT to me following her. It’s official, the word is meaningless now. Not that I intend to follow her shit anyway
have you ever noticed that when a thin girl posts about eating too much and shit like that its seen as really cute but then when a fat person does the same thing they’re shamed for it?
That’s because the skinny person isn’t exacerbating a health condition by overeating.
Fighting the sexism against women so hard that you start to see just ANY critical word about a woman as sexism, even if it’s fair.
Fighting the gay erasure so hard you see every person who doesn’t hype an “obviously” gay-for-each-other characters as homophobic.
Fighting the abuse so hard you forget what does being affected by stress/emotions/curcumstances mean and see just ANY irrational behaviour as staight out abusive.
Fighting the fatphobia so hard you see an evil in sport exercises.
Fighting the sexism against men you villianize feminism in general.
Fighting the forced interpretation of characters so hard you lose your ability to see what did the creator actually mean.
etc.
Fighting bad things deserves a respect, but would you please not forget that evil doesn’t live just EVERYwhere? There is always a limit, there are always complicated issues howering beyond “good” and “bad” which can’t be interpreted that easily, there are always things which look evil but aren’t. Good intentions can be a trap and downgrade even the best people to the level of the people who they are fighting with, so I think it’s really, really, really important to remember that not just everything is either is or isn’t. It’s better to analyze the thing before judging it, because there is no ready formula for judging which would apply to everything. Morality compass is really better than morality dogma.
