This is Clean Privilege

No. As far as I can tell, thisisinnocentprivilege is just some anti-sj troll blog that has latched on to me since it’s apparently “cool” to bully me right now (until the next easy target appears and the tumblr hate army forgets about me to go harass them). If you go to their blog, most of their posts are just directly copied and pasted from mine, but they swapped a couple of words out to make it look original.

Kind of pathetic really. Not only are these troll blogs a waste of time (how fucking sad do you have to be to dedicate your life to writing fake posts on the internet) but they also trivilialize real oppression like filthphobia, fat hate and misogyny. Anti-sj assholes are going to see those blogs and snicker to themselves, feeling oh-so-superior to those sjw strawmen, and systematic hatred will continue to be perpetuated uninterrupted.

You are putting the cart before the horse. People stopped bathing because of the black plague, the black plague wasn’t caused by not bathing. I’ve read the literature on the topic and the causes behind its spread are numerous (and not fully agreed on), and they include outdated medical knowledge, overcrowded living conditions, killing off the cat populations leading to rat infestations etc. Hygiene had nothing to do with it, in fact it was explicitly believed that the plague was spread by foul smells which is why plague doctors stuffed their masks with strong herbs and so on. 

If you don’t wanna have social anxiety just talk to people, “bro”.

Clean privilege is not being assailed with death and rape threats for being unclean, because apparently it's fair for society to kick people who are already down.

TICP's law of internet discussions: Any online discussion of filthphobia quickly results in disproportionate displays of filthphobia.

Clean privilege is not having your family be surprised when they find out you have a partner.

Clean privilege is not being mocked when someone finds out you might be in love with someone.

Clean privilege is works of fiction set in medieval times showing everyone covered in exaggerated amounts of dirt. In the language of media, 'dirt' has been constructed as shorthand for 'backwards' and 'uncivilised,' which in a wider context reinforces notions of filthphobia in the minds of those who consume this media, contributing to systemic oppression on the whole.

It aims to expose the culturally constructed definitions of beauty constructed by our culture, mainly the notion that clean = attractive and unclean = unattractive. These standards have no basis in biology and are the invention of the media and billion dollar hygiene corporations who profit from attacking the self-esteem of those unable to meet their impossible and ridiculous standards. Ever felt oppressed because you were mocked for skipping showering that week? Ever endured nasty and hurtful comments based on your body odor or the texture or appearance of your hair and skin? You don't need to. The only thing you deserve is respect. 

Angry? Feel cheated and lied to? You should. Join the fight.
