just saw a post come up about how we should use "character getting fat" as an indicator of them being "fulfilled and happy" and UGH. No shade to the mutual who reblogged it as I get the whole fat acceptance thing is heavily pushed on this site but that is so dangerous to normalize. There is nothing healthy, happy, or good about being fat, especially being morbidly obese: if you're more than just a little chubby, you are actively engaged in self harming behaviors on par with smoking and alchoholism.
Being obese has impacted my life in such a massively negative way: I have chronic pain in my back, knees, ankles, and feet; I spent years malnourished because of all the nutrition-barren junk I was consuming every day; I had brain fog and extremely fucked hormones. These are all directly related to my historically horrible diet and the extra 60+ lbs I've been carrying around for the last decade or so, and my continued denial of all this is the reason why I managed to get over 200 lbs in the first place. People are fucking dying of obesity related illness by the boatload in just America alone so I'm begging y'all to please stop trying to normalize and romanticize fatness. It's good to love yourself no matter what you look like, and to find beauty in others too, and I think obesity should be de-stigmatized in the same way as any other addiction / mental illness should. But obesity is a fucking life-ruining condition and needs to be treated more seriously.

I’m not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, I enjoy some of her music, not all, but this whole “fatphobic” bullshit is just that, bullshit. I won’t even go into how the whole concept of fatphobia is pure nonsense, but even just taking it at face value, what people bullied her into removing from her music video wasn’t even fatphobic, y’all just saw the word “fat” and immediately assumed she was calling people fat, when it was VERY CLEARLY, like I cannot stress this enough, it was CRYSTAL FUCKING CLEARLY directed at HER, not YOU.
She literally steps on a scale that says she’s “fat”, which is a clear acknowledgement of her past where insane people used to call her fat because one time she was slightly less than unhealthily pencil-thin, and that clearly left an impact on her. Like it’s a fucking scale, of fucking course it was directed solely at herself and nobody else. Literally the equivalent to holding up a sign that said “Taylor Swift = Fat”. There’s no other possible translation of that visual, you would have to be completely and utterly brain dead to think so.
And look, was Taylor Swift ever actually fat? I don’t know. I’ve not followed her career personally, nor her life pre-career, so I couldn’t say. But even if she’s never been fat, she’s been CALLED fat which is the whole point. You don’t get to berate ‘skinny’ people for using the term “fat” simply because they’re skinny when you have no fucking iota of a clue as to what that person has dealt with in their personal life. Skinny people get called fat all the time.

oh my god when i played through sonic adventure for the first time, i was ready for big's story to be sooo difficult because of how much hate and anger ive seen towards it. when i actually played it though it was literally so easy, i could not believe how easy it was. people really just need to get good oh my god im so tired of ppl blaming the game (and big, by extension) for their difficulties with a fishing minigame of all things
people act like bigs story in sonic adventure is the worst thing to ever happen in a sonic game and it's so hard and the gameplay is so bad but when i played it i thought it was fine and i beat it in like. an hour. one of the easiest parts of the whole game. i am convinced that a lot of people who hate games like sonic adventure sonic unleashed etc are just bad at video games and blame that on the game itself and the characters in it
