“Tired of experiencing discrimination and cruelty because you are fat? We have the perfect solution - NOT being fat! With this new product, we ELIMINATE fatphobia right at the source - fat people existing!”

always hilarious to hear people say, “you live under tyrannical beauty standards & deserve a break from diet culture, fellow thin white woman who wishes she was thinner! you’re not one of the gross people ppl who DESERVE tyranny & SHOULD be subjected to the evils of diet culture😌”

“Get a real job” would be great advice for content creators if:
-“real jobs” paid a living wage
-there were enough to go around
-there were significant protections if you got laid off
-they provided adequate vacation time, flexibility to wfh, & free childcare

Ozempic discourse is wild bc on one side you have “this is cheating, fat people should have to suffer/stay fat so we can keep mocking them” and on the other side you have “it’s a miracle, we can finally ELIMILATE the disgusting fat people, hooray!” Both sides just hate fat people

Under this is the assumption that it’s simple and easy to lose weight. “If they knew they were fat, they would have fixed it already.” And from this assumption, you get the stupid fat person trope which is all over media.

I was really feeling like I accomplished nothing in 2024 because I’m the only person on my feed who didn’t lose weight.

I literally got a master’s degree this year.

Not all accomplishments are visible on your body and the ones that aren’t still count.

redpill men see fat women as willfully making a choice to be fat and therefore intentionally making themselves unattractive to the male gaze. they are very intimidated by any woman who they see as not living for their approval, so they MUST take her down a peg.

Redpill dudes think women are delusional about their attractiveness because they refuse to settle. But you can be “mid” or full stop UGLY, know that, and still not accept poor treatment. They are really mad because it’s harder to take advantage of women they feel should be “easy targets.”

there should be multiple fat people in a given piece of media. having just one person who is much larger does stick out and break the norm. much better to have a large variety of bodies instead of one token fat person

Men having strong opinions on how women’s bodies should look IS an expression of the belief that they own us and should get to control us.

Men will go so far out of their way to find a mean way to say they like chubby women

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

Using slurs knowing you’re not *supposed to* is not edgy, it’s just doing the status quo but taking extra joy in your own cruelty bc you think you’re a noble defender of free speech or something. WRONG, you’re just unoriginal and rude and mean

Jesus are we still doing the Trump fat jokes as if they’re so clever and imaginative? As if there aren’t way worse qualities to mock him for that 75% of Americans don’t share?? Come on bluesky, you can do better.

idk who needs to hear this but it is actually normal to enjoy food it doesn’t make you like mentally ill or something unless it’s VERY extreme

The logic of fatphobia is so contradictory…like fat people are assumed to be stupid bc thinness and self-deprivation is linked to intellectualism but then also assumed to be extra smart as compensation for their appearance? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

fatphobia is a conservative ideology & we should have seen the writing on the wall for gen z’s politics when body positivity went out of style

Idk who needs to hear this but plan B is less effective if you’re over 155 lbs or BMI 30. The only thing that works as emergency contraception for fat people is getting the copper IUD
