#for one answer

1. Who is your fave character and why?

Emma. (Long post.)

2. Favourite recurring character? (Not a main character)

Hm... Ruby, probably. (Does she even still count as one?)

3. What was your favourite S1 moment?

4. Favourite overall moment?

Yeah, I’m not going to strive for originality here. :)

I don’t think any TV will ever be better than that kiss.

5. What is something you wish you could change?

Regina should have died in S2.

6. If you could see more of a background character, who would it be?

OMG SO MANY but we will start with Mulan because I have so many questions.

7. Who is a character you wish you could like but can’t?

Hm so I generally don’t feel this way about characters. If I don’t like them, I have reasons for it. At this point, I suppose Snow? I really enjoyed her early on, but for several seasons now, the writing for her has struck me as inconsistent and after-thought in nature, which is really a shame.

you are going way out of your way to take up blogging space here friend :/

What i mean is:

Your feelings are your feelings, but having a negative emotion doesn’t necessarily validate your point

You are making me responsible for something that has never appeared on my page, unless I’ve somehow posted something saying “skinny girls don’t deserve a spotlight” but I don’t think I’ve even veered close

My opening is directed toward the idea that this isn’t about you. Read: it isn’t about you. This is a good thing. No one “doesn’t want you” to be in the spotlight ever — it’s about opening up that spotlight for other people. All media basically celebrates skinny, and that’s unavoidable right now. Unfortunately, yes, it is hard to talk about inclusivity of more sizes without probably mentioning that skinny is overrepresented. But you can’t ask people to take away half their words to communicate their point just because it makes you uncomfortable… it’s an unfair burden

So again: I think you have a right to feel something. But I think… or hope that you wouldn’t be messaging me unless you were willing to move forward from this. Be there for your underrepresented sisters. This isn’t about you. This isn’t about shaming skinny. This is about getting them better representation. You need to be there for them!! If it makes you feel bad, it’s okay to have those feelings, but try and realize that this is an issue where your feelings need to start taking a backseat so that underrepresented voices can be heard, can talk about the pain of never being seen/never being shown as healthy/never being told their size is fine and that it is its own type of power

While I agree it’s bad to shame skinny girls, shame is a specific thing, it’s not just “skinny is over-represented.” And I wouldn’t agree that the feminist movement as a whole encourages this (actual shaming) it’s fringe at best — anytime it happens, it’s called out pretty quickly that I’ve seen
