#body shaming cw

[the-kinfesssional]

I think it's quite funny that lately, I've been posting things like "I know Draculaura doesn't want to be the poster girl for bodyshamers" (not the exact wording, just using as an example) and the individuals reblogging the post do not know that, it is literally Draculaura making these posts.

Honestly yeah that's funny

i hate how my mom always finds an excuse to body shame me. like she says something bad about my body and then she goes "i was just joking! i just can't joke around with you can i?"

raging and seething, i was looking up references for stretchmarks and got a bunch of bodyshaming articles/ads as a result. you evil ungrateful tasteless bastards, how dare you insinuate that stretchmarks are undesirable, i literally spent middle school waiting for the day mine would come in and got so ecstatic when they finally appeared in high school. it adds to my character design.

"Aww, my old recital photos. I was so cute. Why did you make me stop taking ballet classes, again?"

"They wanted you to lose weight and have your tail docked. It was creepy."

"Wha--I thought you said it was because we couldn't afford it!"

better employment prospects through body shaming

I went to my parents' house over the weekend for a Memorial Day bbq and now my mother has really ramped up her obsession with micromanaging my appearance. I just got a text from my sister telling me I needed to send her pictures of everything I'm going to wear at the interview, I think because I was stupid enough to show her these pictures even though I know she and my sisters talk about me all the time behind my back and even though I'd already felt kind of self-conscious about that dress before her reaction to it, which was "don't you have any foundation garments?"

Like, I know I'm fat, okay? I know people think it's unprofessional to look like me, I know she thinks that, she's always telling me that of course she doesn't think that but she knows for a fact that other people do, and what exactly am I supposed to take from that other than that she's projecting onto me and claiming that nobody outside my family could ever be anything but disgusted and embarrassed by my appearance when they're more disgusted and embarrassed by it than anyone? And, like, I've had people (not family members) tell me I should be on My 600-lb. Life, that I'm a land whale who should be punched in the stomach, that it would be hilarious if I died because (like all fat people) I'd probably make funny noises, that "I'd kill myself if I looked like you," that I don't look like a human. Even my siblings gave me shit about my weight growing up and my parents' response was always "well, that's why you need to lose weight." I've been told BY MY MOTHER when I was about ten that if she had it to do over again she'd have starved me. But now I'm supposed to believe that she isn't put off by my appearance but the committee members who chose me as a finalist for this job, knowing what I look like because it's at Ph.D. Institution, will be. And the worst part is, it still gets to me. I mean, I have no reason to expect that my parents will ever give me any real encouragement or any sort of expression of confidence in me, because they have pretty much never done so before, the closest they ever get is "well, we know you can do it, but they'll probably screw you over." And then they also tell me I need to be more confident and assertive.

the funny part is i've seen That fandom (rightfully) call out other idols for talking about body image etc in a harmful way but they're always so silent when their boys do it. watch them throw a pity party for their fav, crying about the harsh beauty standards. even tho they're the same people CONSTANTLY body shaming female idols (mainly bp, especially j*nnie just bc she's maybe dating *)

lmao it's the same way every time, they'll call out other idols for this and that, but when their group does it, they instantly silence themselves or try to turn it into a positive narrative, it's a vicious cycle

I don't think Gen Z understands why Millennials are so terrified of y2k trends coming back into fashion. A lot of Gen Z was still in diapers when this look was in fashion. However, we grew up and spent our preteen and teen years during that time. The quintessential bared-midriff look created by crop tops and low-rise pants is limited (in that for most body types it is very uncomfortable) to an extremely specific body type (very skinny with narrow hips, relatively small bust, and small bottom), which was viewed as the only acceptable body type. Women and girls were considered "fat" even if their BMI fell into the "healthy" range. This left a lot of us with horrible senses of self-esteem and, in extreme (but still a lot of) cases, eating disorders. What's now considered "thinspo" was normalized back then and advertised as the ideal. Content that people on ED Twitter are called out for was pervasive throughout the internet, and not considered very extreme. This look was pervasive in both mainstream and alternative circles. There's a reason why people started pushing for body positivity, and a lot of people (especially afab) are still dealing with the consequences of it. We thought that by embracing body positivity we could prevent future generations from falling victim to the grips of heroin chic. Now we see it coming back, and we're terrified that the cycle's going to repeat itself. So many of us started pursuing excessive thinness as kids and hated ourselves when we failed to obtain it. We don't want anyone else to have to go through that.

This is not to say that people can't recreate looks from the '90s and '00s. People can wear whatever they like. I'm just explaining why so many people are expressing visceral reactions to these old trends coming back.

If we get a POC racebent Professor X before we get a POC canon Spider-man in the MCU, I am going to sit on a fucking knife.

Marvel is so fucking great at pandering, but they just will not put their whole pussy behind their actual canon POC characters in live action. They’ve never known what to do with Rhodey and Sam didn’t even have a full backstory until his TV series happened (and that was after like six movie appearances).

Ten dollars says that if Esposito does get cast as Prof X it’ll be some one-off type shit - a cameo at most.  They wouldn’t dare give him a real franchise to lead.  Their pussy is not strong enough.

All I want is my Black boy Spider-man.  I just want to see Miles in live action and full color.  I am fucking DONE with PP in live action.  I never want to see it again, for real.  I finally saw NWH two weeks ago and they’re trying to so hard to make him into Tony Stark Jr. and milk that dynamic between PP and Strange and Happy.  And I’ll say it - John Favreau looks fucking horrible and it’s laughable to think that Happy Hogan would be able to pull a brick shithouse like Aunt May.  She can’t be THAT broke.

This is mostly just reactionary word vomit after reading something about Giancarlo Esposito being rumored to play Charles Xavier.  I fuck with that heavily and he’s a great actor but STILL NO MILES???????????  REALLY???????  Y’all will literally racebend Professor X to pander to diversity but you won’t give us a live-action Miles Morales?  They love to reference a Black Spider-man here and there but I don’t see any energy being put behind actually GIVING US live-action Miles and Tom Holland has been in like 7 movies now and this is the THIRD live-action PP and I’m fucking exhausted.

Looking at Diluc’s game model like "that ain't my brother" lmao

Who is this noodle-armed straight-haired freckle-less man. My Diluc was big and buff and his hair was fluffy and curly and. Ough. I just wanna see my brother. -Kaeya (#🦚❄️🗡)

Still lowkey mad my mom told me when I was 18 and going to my first physical checkup as a solo adult that I should shave my legs up to the bikini line, and when I expressed distaste, she strongly implied that having hairy legs would affect the quality of care I received from the doctor.
