i am no man

I say this with my whole chest but the best thing both CS and HW did was to turn their social media strictly professional. Because history has a habit of repeating itself and we can already see media and "fans" turning on both of them. Y'all CANNOT leave well enough alone and have this incessant need to dig and dig until you find something, anything, not perfect about them and run with it. We have seen this over and over again with actors, especially the ones who get famous super quick like they both did. Stalking their profiles, researching friends, it just takes a small group of people to cross the line. Everyone, yes even you, has a past with not so great things. Stuff you said or did, people you associated with, family that are actually awful. The difference is you don't have your personal life dissected across several social media platforms. You don't have relationship speculation or friends coming out of the woodwork to get their 15 minutes of fame. You get to learn from your mistakes without a lense, without random internet warriors telling you how horrible you are for being human and fucking up.

I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:

maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.

a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.

It's so important to acknowledge how anti-fatness rhetoric directly coincides with the rise in Conservativism and fascism, like this post states. It's also rooted in racism. Unfortunately, the moment you state this, especially as a fat individual, you're immediately disregarded. Fat people have been the butt of jokes for years and so easily accepted that anyone who stands up for themselves or says hey, this isn't funny, is told to "take a joke" or just lose weight." It's so discouraging.
