Reminder: Fat women’s bodies are NOT public property. NO ONE is entitled to our time, attention, or affection in any capacity simply because they desire us. We have the same right to reject you that everyone else has. 🖕
its really wild how many movies and tv shows are just like, obscenely skinny. how many casts are representative of the average population, if you sampled a crowd in a normal store or on a train? how many actually “average” bodies do you see on screen? how often are the stomachs shown flat or concave, how often are the thighs all muscle no fat, how often are the jawlines and cheekbones totally sharp and not covered by even a hint of softness? its bizarre and offputting whenever you start looking at media with that in mind
Yeah, it’s crazy, like have you been to Walmart?
I guess there is erasure and harassment but like no one is burning the ace flag
A REAL exclusionist would go all the way to "burning a flag isn't oppression" tho 👀
reap ripe fruit from fertile fields,

Constructive criticism is appreciated and welcome. We are still working on getting accessories for these outfits and I would love to hear other people’s suggestions.
With @jovialjuggernaut-draws as my prince
this person is 100% giving off exclus or transmed vibes lol
I'm a non op enby?!? I use any/all pronouns? I was a very active participant of my High school GSA when I identified as asexual?!?!??
I said what i said.
Every interaction ive had with exclus has boiled down to how they don't see aphobia as a serious issue bc "ace ppl aren't being genocided/legislated against"
Every transmed who torments enbies will insist the same thing is true for them. That "enbies aren't in immediate danger."
U have the same view on fat ppl.
That is what i meant. U talk abt anti-fat bias and fatphobia the way exclus talk abt aphobia. Like it doesn't matter bc the affected party isn't being murdered in the streets.
I think u might be stupid
Or illiterate
Get well soon
Ok seriously I don't inherently have an issue with body positivity or neutrality. I have issue with people thinking that fat people are an innate marginalized community on the same level as LGBT people or black people.
Im not white. Most of the ppl i follow who talk abt fatphobia and anti-fat stigma are not white. Idk if u realize this but anyone of any group can be fat

Ok but uhhhh... u guys didn't seem to mind white women speaking up when its to support ur pov...
(99% positive btw...)
And uh... well... 🥴
Oh, this must be why pro-anas only accept white women when they agree with them
Idk or care what hes talking abt
but why tf would someone who unironically calls ppl "sjws" and uses the word "woke" even care abt which social justice issues are "worse" than others
Bestie, ppl who use those words as pejoratives typically don't even believe transphobia exists, much less bother placing it on a pedistal of importance. Idk why ur so bothered by ppl seeing fatphobia as a legitimate form of oppression bc i don't get the impression that u see ANYTHING as a legitimate form of oppression.
Ways I'm reading this:
DeSantis is on edtwt
edtwt is just as bad as DeSantis
Fatphobia is as bad as transphobia
Anorexia is fascism
Saying edtwt calling you fat is not worth crying over and is certainly not the worst thing in the world is enabling fascism
We r making fun of u for thinking u can get bigots to disappear if u ignore them lol no one said any of that
Anyway u should post a screenshot of this exchange on edtwt i bet they'd love it
Saw someone crying in a TikTok when an edtwt account qrted them with #fatspo and it really encapsulates my feelings towards fat liberation.
Was what that account did hurtful? Absolutely. But that's like a mentally ill 14 year old. If the worst thing to happen to you is some zoomer who's slowly killing themselves laughing at you, you are not oppressed. You're just not.
There's people getting kicked out of homes and unable to get the care they need and people's villages are being pulverized because Putin wants to give the largest country by area more land.
Not to be like "People are dying Kim." But People are dying Kim.
That's not just one mentally ill 14 year old, tho, its their thousands of friends and followers, including all the alt-right bottom feeders who follow accounts that post fatspo bc they cross-post some of it on their annoying cringe blogs. Its putting someone on blast and setting them up for ridicule JUST FOR BEING FAT. And its probably not the first instance that it's happened.
Ur rly underestimating the psychological effects of constant ridicule and dehumanization, which is what fatspo is meant to do. It's meant to reduce fat individuals down to "cautionary tales," stripping them of their dignity, worth, and even basic humanity. Calling them names like pigs or whales or blobs, commenting on size and shape as if they're a piece of meat instead of a person, commenting on their hygiene, making jabs at their boobs, ass or genitals, all serve to strip the subject of their basic right to dignity, and even using videos of them without their consent, videos that are more often of them having fun or being positive, reinforces the pro-ana blog's belief that, bc fat ppl aren't worthy of dignity and basic ass humanity, that they're even entitled to whatever we post.
And yea, if u compare something like online ridicule to the FUCKING WAR IN UKRAINE, ofc it doesn't sound as bad. But u can do that with literally anything, and believe me, plenty of other bigots love to do this same thing to anything they're bigoted against to downplay it. (Im not saying ur personally bigoted, just that u need to be aware of that). Lots of bigotry doesn't immediately amount to public lynching or immediate harm. It accumulates, though.
Fatphobia isnt just mean videos on the internet, and whether or not thats what u meant, thats how this post comes across. Allowing the mockery of fat ppl in public sites normalizes it and normalizing it allows ppl to get away with worse forms of fatphobia, like medical or occupational. It all starts in the court of public opinion.
And im fascinated by the fact that u think anti-fat bias isn't something that influences how fat ppl are treated, and that social media doesn't play a factor in pushing all kinds of biases and stigma.
So are doctors also not influenced by anti-trans messages in the media? What abt racial bias, how do u think that's spread? Islamophobia? Any kind of bigotry?
Just bc u don't think it's important don't mean it suddenly works differently than any other type of bias or bigotry. The media helps spread this shit, ppl pick up on it subliminally. Social media is a type of media. This is basic sociology.
I was wrong to give u the benefit of the doubt by insisting i wasn't calling u a bigot tho. Thx for removing all doubt, bitch
And I'm sorry for butting in, but what the fuck kind of advice is "just log off lol?"
Does logging off make that shit go away? No. It's still up there. Other people are going to see it and be influenced by it, so whether or not you can see it makes no difference. Ignoring it doesn't do anything, it just allows it to spread.
Oh.
Oh you actually believe that
Ok.
It's not really a "belief, " it's an observable phenomenon.
Okay, so explain to me how one person ignoring omnipresent hate posted on a site is supposed to eliminate it. Where does it go? Does it just blip out of existence? Explain how that works, because in every instance of online bigotry, I've learned that ignoring the problem allows it to spread unhindered. Exactly like AFRS said.
Maybe someone should tell Zelenskyy that if he just ignores the Russian tanks currently shelling the piss out of Kiev, they'll just go away.
Yes. Bigots, very well known for their tendency to pack up and go away when ppl stop paying attention to them.
If i ignore DeSantis, he'll just go away and leave trans ppl alone uwu
Isnt it so nice that even in our big enlightened age of social awareness and anti-bigotry that u hypocrites still play into the internet's age old tradition of "Gawking At Fat Ppl Online"
And what's better than finding weird fat ppl to humiliate? Finding weird fat ppl that WANT u to humiliate them! For views!
I hate u all ;) i seriously hate u all and I hope u die ;)
You mistake me for someone who gives a fuck abt Amberlynn lore. I don't care what she does. U wouldn't know what she does or even who she is if u guys didn't waste so much time obsessing over her every waking moment.
Im sure the "cant keep her word to save her life" thing is a great justification that everyone uses as an excuse for why they have decided to put a feedee like her under a microscope in the first place, instead of letting her drift into obscurity like everyone else who posts fat fetish content. There is absolutely no reason why amberlynn should have gotten this popular, except for the fact that the internet apparently needs to have at least one fat person in the spotlight at all times.
U need to stop seeking us out like we're cheap entertainment. First it was chris chan, then it was the "m'lady" fedora guy, now its amberlynn and nikocado and this "foodie beauty" person. U idiots need to stop deliberately looking for fat ppl to watch 24/7. It's annoying, and it makes u all look desperate.
As a matter of fact that is the only conversation im attempting to have, but i aint discussing or hashing out shit w someone who uses the word "lolcow" unironically. Fuckin 4channer headass
I don't know what these ppl did and honestly i couldn't care less. I get that the REASON they're the most popular """"lolcows"""" (ew) is bc IT TURNS OUT they're terrible ppl, but to me all that says is that they're the pick of a needlessly vast litter of other, less popular fat ppl who just aren't as universally reviled.
My point is, nobody should pay this much attention to them. U guys got them under a microscope, as if knowing the latest breaking news on Amberlynn is going to finally put an end to her reign of terror or something. They're being pushed along by their own infamy, yeah, but they were initially propped up by ppl who have nothing better to do than to scour the internet and find fat ppl to turn into """""lolcows."""" Its not that i don't care that nik and amberlynn are bad ppl, its that im not playing kiwifarm's game in the first place. I will not play.
I noticed u left out the "m'lady" fedora guy. He was one of the examples of a "fat lolcow" who did nothing to deserve notoriety, but got it anyway. He became the face of that whole "nice guys finish last/MRA" archetype, iirc, and he was just some child actor.
Yall do this shit with random ass ppls lives, and then im supposed to stop my own life to care abt what Hamberlyyn did today bc out of all the fatties u idiots catch in ur net, she turned out to be a real nasty piece of work. Well, guess what, genius: sometimes fat ppl aren't nice ppl. But i see internet guys using ppl like her and Nikocado as examples of why No Fatty is a Good Fatty, using them to confirm ur biases. That's why i hate this trend. That's why i aggressively decry it like this. The bad ones u end up finding are used to justify the whole sick "lolcow finder" trend.
See now u got me using the term lolcow. Im going to kms.

Fuckin schoolyard bully ass advice
"This person put my face up on their page for millions of ppl to see with the intent to humiliate me and use me as a scratching post for their ego, and when i ask them to remove it i get mobbed by their friends. Im on a bunch of right wing gimmic blogs now too. All bc im fat."
"Well have u tried ignoring them?"
