We need to talk about tumblr's systematic fatphobia.

Posts of fat people are being marked as "sexual content" even more frequently than they used to, but now we have this fun little addition as brought to my attention by a friend;

That's right. Not just blatant kink-shaming, but now, if you make posts about or with fat people, you can now be flagged as "promoting disordered eating"! Multiple completely innocent posts of fat people literally just existing in their own bodies have already been flagged this way.

Raise hell about it. Reblog and share fat content more than ever. Don't let this shitty website tell you that your bodies are "wrong" or that you aren't allowed to exist publicly.

Tumblr staff, if you care about eating disorders (you fucking don't), stop promoting this sense of shame and fear and disgust towards the idea of weight gain. Stop shaming and censoring people for posting about their own bodies and experiences. Fatphobia kills. Fatphobia causes disordered eating. Fatphobia is the disease you should be worried about.

This has also been disproportionately affecting fat trans people, because of course it has.

Don't stop talking about it. Don't let this bullshit ceo silence you.

Imagine a sci-fi scenario in which aliens keep humans as pets.

Our civilization collapsed and now humans are completely subservient and stripped off their free choice. The aliens study us, but they don't get everything right. They feed us a lot of their own alien sustenance which for us is extremely filling and caloric. Being kept on this type of diet for our whole lives, it's no wonder that all of us become hugely obese rather fast.

Some aliens amuse themselves with taking their humans for walkies, but it's mostly because they find it funny how we - now all very fat - try to waddle around or walk on all fours, our bellies touching the floor. Most of them keep us in large cages or enclosures where they feed us their fattening slop and give us scratchies.

Imagine being a pet in one of those alien households. You are initially frightened when they buy you, already chubby, and put you in your new enclosure. But soon, the slop starts coming and it's delicious. Initially, you still move around, because the aliens like playing fetch with you. But over time, you grow too fat to do that, until at last, you're too fat to move altogether. You just sit in your cage and guzzle the slop. Oops, I guess your masters overfed you a bit... but it's okay, you're so cute like that <3

i want you to wake up one morning and finally become aware of the shocking changes your body has endured. months of dissociated meals, grazing all day, blankly staring at the television, padding between couch to kitchen, have not left you unchanged. the mirror shows you the evidence. written all along your body is the flabby, thickened effects of your massive portions. fat swaths your midsection, leaving you waddling to accommodate its size. flab spreads your legs apart, though they still touch in the middle. your wrists and ankles are thick and meaty. you gingerly touch the side of your face, no longer a cut jawline- now a fleshy, wobbling cheek. your stomach grumbles. it's time for more.

It’s so weird to have a friend complain that their partner is getting fat to me when I’m easily (at least) 150lbs fatter than them.

I forget that getting fat is one of the worst things to happen to someone in a lot of people’s eyes. Also, how massive must I seem to these people?

the level of fat where you lift and adjust your tummy so you can plop it on your lap more comfortably >>>>>>>

OK, maybe you can’t keep growing forever—theoretically, there’s a point at which, even if we shoved pure lard down your throat 24/7, you’d be so big that you’d burn all those calories just by existing.

But it’s about the journey, not the destination, right? And you’ve got a long way to go until you get there. So start eating…and don’t ever, ever stop 🐽🐽🐽

Being fat or chubby or plus sized isn’t something people are beautiful in spite of, btw. It’s beautiful in and of itself

Fat butches on motorcycles, in bars, wearing tank tops and worn out jeans and jackets that show off the space they aren’t afraid to take up in the world are beautiful

Fat femmes in dresses and shirts and pants that don’t try to hide them, the indents of tight clothing on soft skin, are beautiful

Because of, not despite

they don't tell you this but you CAN transition into a goth girl at age 28. it's allowed

How long do you think until you gain back your size to the weight you were

😐 pals, I did not lose weight. I’m still a size 3x, wearing my same clothing sizes I have. I haven’t lost weight. I appreciate everyone being supportive, but I have been bombarded with asks and messages about this. I have been nervous to even post my body after my procedure because in tumblr world there’s this pressure to constantly just get bigger bigger, as fast as possible, otherwise your audience loses interest. Feeders leave. Losing support in an outlet that gives me so much joy really blows. My platform isn’t huge, so when I take a hit, it hits hard. Yes, it’s so fun and awesome when gaining fast and consistently happens. But how I look right now is something medically I cannot control. This is just how my 5’2 body looks at a US 24, with less inflammation. :( I don’t want to answer anything else about this for the time being. It’s causing some body dysmorphia and bumming me out so much. Just need the time to let my body heal, and enjoy eating and shift to this new normal
