And it's sickening because so much of the development of HIV medicine has been publicly funded. We fucking paid for this research dozens of times over; without that public funding there would be almost nothing new for pharmaceutical companies to ransom I mean sell in the first place.

Yeah sorry your boyfriend is dead. Yeah there was nothing we could d- wait what are you doing put the DNA copying powers down. Don’t look at him in the eyes desperately and copy his DNA. NO. BAD. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU COPE WITH LOSS. GO TO THERAPY DO NOT INVENT A NEW STAGE OF GRIEF. Why do I even bother.

honestly the way people will talk about fat or poly people is often super indicative of how they would talk about queer or otherwise marginalized people if it was 10% more socially acceptable to do so within their circles

like genuinely the rate at which i go to block somebody for being an outright bigot and discover that i had already blocked them a while ago for being weird to fat people is just crazy. a lot of people with deeply hateful conservative views like to test the waters with shit like this against groups that "don't really count" while maintaining at least a facade of progressivism outside of that, and while fat people should not have to be canaries in the coal mine for you to care about us, i do think it's worth acknowledging that being hateful about fat people & our bodies is very often a tell that somebody is eventually going to go mask off with more widely frowned upon reactionary politics

it's patently obvious how many of you refuse to actually read and engage with posts about fatphobia to the same extent that you do many other bigotries btw

you can go into the notes of any fatphobia post, no matter how well-researched, insightful, politically complex, important, well-argued etc. and find that roughly 80% of the not-actively-hateful notes will be neatly divided into two camps of "i actually think fat people are hot surprisingly! love the squish xD" and "#didn't relate because i'm sooooo skinny small #this seems important even though i'm 110lb #very thin but i support you! skinny and small and thin but you also matter. i'm thin btw"

it is maybe my fault for using two particularly obnoxious/inflammatory kinds of things thin people say when i made this post but it is funny to me that exactly the phenomenon i was talking about has so thoroughly dominated the notes on this. my point was less "don't say these two overtly fatphobic things" and much more "even if your comment is entirely benign and fat-positive, the fact that it has very little to do with the actual post you're responding to reveals that you view fatlib and the politics and theory of fat people as a flat one-issue point which warrants no real reading or engagement beyond vague affirmative platitudes." even if your comment about how you love your fat wife or you think fat sizing discrimination sucks was totally fine and correct in isolation, its presence on like a post about medical fatphobia or fatphobic sexual violence etc. etc. is indicative of a failure on your part to see our lives, words & politics as even potentially rich and complex enough to merit, you know, Actually Reading
