What’s wild about this argument too is that Bridgerton is explicitly a fantasy. You’re fine with the historically inaccurate costumes, pop covers, and racial diversity but you draw the line at a thin handsome man liking a chubby girl??? REALLY??!
fatphobia is genuinely a mind rotting agent bc wdym it’s not “plausible” that the “fat girl win the prince” first of all ur a loser.
second, this narrative that fat women must to be exceptional to “earn” the attention of a man is not only fatphobic/misogynistic but delusional—

Fatphobia says, “it is every individual’s responsibility and duty to shape their body into the proper aesthetic. If you fail to do this for any reason, it is evidence of your immorality and you deserve whatever happens to you as a result.”
This is a right-wing mentality.

People who are on Ozempic keep saying “I never think about or want food anymore! Is this what it’s like to have a normal relationship to food?” NO. It is normal to want food. It is normal to enjoy food. YOU WOULD DIE WITHOUT FOOD.

And also, even if that wasn’t the case, there ARE sex positions where you’re not fully lying on top of each other like parallel lines…and if that’s the only position you can imagine I think maybe you are the one who isn’t having sex lmao

Women with PCOS and hormonal imbalances, listen up. Trans issues impact us too and we must vote accordingly. This exposes transphobia as the utter farce that it is. Sex isn’t biologically binary, so it is absurd to act like gender is.

We have this idea in our culture that wanting to eat and enjoying eating is abnormal, wrong, or even some sort of mental illness. We have pathologized the desire for food, something we need to survive. It’s absurd.

So much of fatphobia looks like a desire to PUNISH fat people, and viewing fatness as evidence that someone is deserving of punishment.

Thin people feel so entitled to being more successful than their fat counterparts. That’s why they can’t handle it when a fat person is in a relationship and they’re single. It’s literally like, “but I’m supposed to be better than you. You can’t have something I don’t!!”

The skirt belly pic discourse is interesting because we’ve come so far since the early ‘00s in that most of the comments are defending the girl, but sooo many of those “positive” comments are like “she’s not even fat” and “it’s okay to have a *little bit* of belly” 🫠

Given the proportion of fat people in the US, every single film and TV show should have multiple fat leads. Anything else is willful erasure.
What is an opinion about film that gets this reaction?
Mine: Stop making live action remakes of animated film and TV. Let animation stand alone and be praised for its craft.

I’ve seen a lot of people who’ve lost weight complain about how their fat friends treat them differently or stop talking to them after their weight loss. As a fat person who has been on the other side of this, let me explain.

We have got to talk about this “fatness as a chronic lifelong disease that should be treated like any other” framing that’s been popping up since new weight loss drugs came on the market. It pretends to be more compassionate to fat people but it’s still WILDLY stigmatizing.

Platforming thin, conventionally attractive people in conversations about body size discrimination always reminds me that for a lot of thin people, the worst consequence of fatphobia they can imagine is someone who is not fat being told they’re too fat.

Which, by the way, I will never understand the shaming around. Eating for pleasure sometimes is normal. Choosing foods you enjoy is normal. A lot of people believe they shouldn’t eat for pleasure, but they’re just fine doing lots of other things purely because they enjoy it.

Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero music video has been changed to eliminate the shot of the scale saying “fat.” In its place is the self-destructive Taylor (the one in red) shaking her head at the scale, which is out of frame. Let’s talk about why this was changed and what it means.

I’m devastated for fat people right now. So many people are already using this as an excuse to make shitty jokes about us and I fear it will also be justification for shutting us out of the entertainment industry.

If you travel, drink or do drugs, or have sex for pleasure but believe all food should be “fuel,” consider whether you’re just really afraid of gaining weight and/or need to believe fat people deserve poor treatment because “they brought it on themselves.”

Diet companies don’t bother selling you weight loss anymore because they don’t have to. Instead, they sell health, beauty, and happiness, because they know you already believe those things are synonymous with thinness. That work has been done for them.

When they say “promoting obesity,” they don’t really mean promoting. They mean presenting fatness as anything but the worst case scenario that makes life completely miserable, and fat people as anything but pitiable punching bags.

So upsetting. Fatsuits seem to be a real trend in Hollywood right now, but in a different way than they used to be. In the aughts, they were a comic gag. Now they’re a gimmick for famous actor “transformation” in the most prestigious projects.

I wish fat women ending up with fat partners in media wasn’t always portrayed as “settling.” The trope that everything fat positive includes a thin partner as the happy ending is also rooted in fatphobia!

If we add in the ideal of temperance and self-denial that is almost always tied into this, it also becomes a religious mentality.
If we add an explicit mandate to shape your body in this way, it becomes a fascist mentality.

We have got to talk about the trope of being forced to engage romantically or sexually with a plus size person. In so much media, just having a fat person ask you out is presented as literal HORROR.

But being hungry and wanting food is completely normal and has no morality attached. Pathologizing that is not only weirdly puritanical but literally dangerous.

Feeling LIBERATED from your hunger cues is not normal. Does anyone remember the pills from The Giver that take away your sex drive? It’s like that. Sure, use Ozempic for medical reasons, but being hungry is not a disease.

I will say I don’t compliment weight loss because you never know what really caused it, even if the person views it as a good thing and is showing it off. You might be encouraging an eating disorder. I treat weight as neutral on principle (to the extent that that is possible).

As a fat person, is obvious to me that this moralization underlies nearly all fatphobia - and ties right back into religion, bootstraps capitalism, and anti blackness.

Okay so this is what I mean when I say positive media representation can literally change who people are attracted to - and can certainly also change who they respect and view as worthy of love even if their personal preferences don’t change!

Leftists do not believe these things. If you claim to be anywhere left of center, but especially if you claim to be a communist/socialist/collectivist, fatphobia is in direct opposition to your ideals and beliefs.

Well, she did lose a lot of weight which according to her was so she could be eligible for more roles. Really sad that had to happen for her to have the career she does, but she’s been absolutely wonderful about it and rarely talks about it unless asked.

Let’s be really careful when we talk about mandates to “get fit for the revolution” or mock the appearances of people we don’t agree with. You are not living your values when you do that, and I guarantee a lot of people who share those values also look like who you’re mocking.

It’s actually really concerning to me how much people talk about friendships with the language of work. It’s like we’re so deep into late stage capitalism that all personal relationships are viewed as transactions

It’s actually fine to get hungry and enjoy food! That’s not necessarily a disease you need Ozempic to treat! In fact it’s actually not normal to feel totally disinterested in something you need to survive 🫢

Amazing how being a smaller fat person will shield you from so much of the grossest fatphobia. But the minute someone larger (superfat/infinifat) is mentioned as being worthy of literal basic dignity, people show their asses

Tell me about a common historical myth that makes your hackles rise. I don't mean actual disinformation like Holocaust denial; I mean stuff like "Napoleon was short!"
For me it's probably "corsets were torture devices for the rich" and "romantic love is a very modern concept."

I know people are gonna come here and say “but what if I can’t stop eating even when I’m not hungry?” And I’m not talking about those people. Maybe you use food as a coping mechanism, and that’s a different thing that you can address in therapy or however you choose to.
