#thin shaming

How much weight would she have to gain in order to no longer be too thin?

How much weight would she have to gain in order for her to start being too fat?

How wide of a range is considered acceptable?

“Body positivity but only for bodies that don't make me jealous“

“One of the things that is a classic trope of the religious bigot, is while they’re denying people their rights, they claim that their rights are being denied. While they are persecuting people, they claim to be persecuted. While they are behaving colossally offensively, they claim to be the offended party. It’s upside down world.“

It’s remarkable how much body shaming of women comes from other women who have deep-seated self-hatred and envy. And especially from the “body positivity” set.

The problem isn’t that Bekkah lost weight, it’s that her weight loss shows Leah could too. Since Leah has committed her identity to this obese persona, and seeks attention and validation through it from others with the same anti-science, reality-denying ideology. Bekkah losing weight is akin to ex-Muslim apostasy. It’s a moral-religious betrayal.

Not only is the language hyperbolic and emotionally charged, it’s intended to reconfigure and hide the dynamics here, in the hope that you don’t notice. Which is that this tirade could never go in the other direction. Only one of these people could scream at the other and not just get away with it, but perhaps even be cheered on. Only one of these people can disparage and dehumanize the other as a matter of moral virtue.

This shows you where the real power lies. Who is the Rebellion and who is the Empire.

P.S. Way to go girl, going from 363 lb to an under-10 minute mile. Amazing. 👍

No I don’t think thin people are the enemy.

No I don’t think you’re too skinny to be pretty

No I don’t think you’re anyless a beautiful individual if you’re thin.

I focus on plus size because I am in fact plus size and want more content for others who also happen to be chubby like myself so they feel more seen and acknowledged, not because I think poorly of thin people.

If your one of those people who draw plus size characters thinner/draw thin characters plus size and say it makes them “look better,” please STOP.

As somebody who has been both plus size and thin, saying a thin character looks better/cooler/prettier with a certain body really hurts. And it hurts even more when its vice versa.

We are supposed to look past body types. Bodies are temporary, focus on the character ❤️

the concept of thin people having more privilege than heavier people really confuses me. im pretty thin myself and im constantly being body shamed. my dad still calls me fat and my mom says i need to eat more if i ever want anyone to love me. that sounds harsh but it happens a lot. my siblings also insult my "lack of weight" (thats what they call it).

there is no such thing as thin privilege "oH bUt WhAt AbOuT fAt ShAmInG iN aMuSeMeNt PaRkS" that is strictly to protect the safety of everyone there. if someone is over a certain weight things at the park can go pretty wrong and people can get hurt.

"wHaT aBoUt PeOpLe FiNdInG fAt PeOpLe UgLy" some people find skinny people ugly too, there's this thing called preferences.

there are so many more examples of people excusing this but, come on, im not gonna go through all of them.

1) You can make straight characters gay but you cannot make gay characters straight

2) You can make skinny characters fat but you cannot make fat characters skinny

3) You can light skinned characters darker but you cannot make dark skinned characters lighter

Why does Tumblr seem to think it’s okay to shame healthily thin people but not okay to say you’re not that attracted to unhealthily fat people?

Listen, I’m not thin at all, quite the opposite really, but I find it absurd that it’s found completely acceptable to say “you’re not that attracted to thin people”, but you deserve to die if you say “you’re not that attracted to ‘fat’ people.”

Like?? There is no equality in that?? Tumblr is literally the most toxic contradictory hypocritical community ever??

I might change my mind in the future, but as of now I think if you find someone unattractive you shouldn’t be forced to date them.
