#fat shaming

[pamgkrthwrites]

Imagine being Pro Hero Bakugou’s wife and falling pregnant. Neither of you want the world to know yet so you start wearing baggy clothes and going out less. But then some journalists calls you fat in one of his newest articles.

The next day, the public learns about how Bakugou tracked down the journalist, went to his office and beat the guy up. His PR team end up forcing you two to come out about you being pregnant and that’s why Bakugou was so mad.

Thinking about starting a subreddit for people who want to find furniture, sports equipment, etc (anything but clothes) for people who are fat or tall or otherwise don't fit standard dimensions.

Basically 'consumer reports for people who are more than 250lbs and/or 6ft tall'

Reasons why subreddit:

allows people to post their own questions

allows for reasonable moderation already

gives pretty good SEO out of the gate

allows for tagging so people can filter posts

has decent search engine built in

allows for NSFW/18+ content with tags so questions about sex toys, etc can be asked

Rules I'm already thinking of:

Recommendations and questions both allowed, but no self-promotion on individual posts or maybe on one day a month or something (keeps down the spammers!)

Related: no surveys/market research

No diet talk at all

No judgement (about things that are usually disability related but get shamed, like 'best way to put on my socks when I have trouble bending over')

This is generally for goods, not services, so no asking about therapists, doctors, etc.

This is not a complaint forum, but you can post your personal negative experiences as an anti-recommendation on a question. (What I don't want: a post that's just 'I hate this company because of a single bad experience!' What I would be OK with: a post about yoga equipment where someone shares that their foam blocks from X company collapsed after a few uses)

Anyone else on Reddit interested in helping? Is this something that already exists elsewhere I can just join?

Are people really defending this run-of-the-mill anti-woke YouTuber just because Illymation wanted him reported for his reaction video to ‘Perks of Being the Fat Kid’??

Hey so I get that this mainly a blog about media but I have no one fat-positive in my life and I need help. I’ve been fat all my life and now I’m on a mood stabilizer that makes me consistently gain weight and like I’m at the point where even plus size stores don’t carry clothes that fit me. Everyone keeps wanting me off the pills but I need them right now.

I worry I’m doomed to never like how I look again because I won’t be able to wear the clothes I want. And with how many health problems run in my family I just don’t have time for the world to get more accommodating.

I don’t know what to do to or how to be happy

*hugs*

I'm so sorry you're having people fat shaming you in your life. I've personally gained like 100 pounds from different psychotropics over the last 22 years. Some of it was really fast (like when I got put on lithium and gained 50 pounds in 4 months). I've done my fair amount of yoyo dieting as a result and let me tell you please start curating your online presence to feature fat positivity. A lot of the fat positivity of the last decade or so is just... it would make teenage me feel a whole lot better honestly. There's tons of resources like @fatphobiabusters and the tag #fatshion if you want to see other fat people who are wearing whatever they want.

I personally gained a lot of weight with my knee injury 2 years ago and its been very comforting to see so much more in the way of options now.

I'll give you a few tips for shopping. 1) only shop sales and clearance on popular retail sites like torrid or lanebryant. (I've gotten so much cute stuff from Lane Bryant that I don't see in their stores and like everything in their stores is for rich people I swear). 2) Shop with different occassions in mind. Pick one fancy dress for things like weddings and parties or clubbing. Lots of chic cocktail dresses can be dressed up or dressed down depending on your accessories. Get some work outfit staples (black pants or skirts are a must have for everyone but as long as you don't shop impulsively and recklessly at the last minute you should find a few things on sale now that will wow people when you finally debut them) 3) I know its hard to shop online but it can get easier if you do a few things. First of all is know your measurements. Get a measuring tape and measure your chest/bust your hips and your tummy where you want your pants to be. (this totally depends on whether you're looking for like high waisted pants or jeans btw).

Ok that's all I can think of right now but I might do a post that highlights my recent shopping sprees.

food addiction is real

food addiction is the same as any other addiction but the world just doesn’t seem to see it this way.

it disgusts me to see people gorging themselves with more food when they clearly don’t need it.

when an alcoholic goes up to a bar, they are refused service. yet when a fat person queues up at McDonald’s, they are encouraged to double up their meal.

fat people eat at every possible moment. anytime you see a fat person standing or sitting still, they are eating.

then they say they are trying to “lose weight” but still crave chocolate/crisps/sweets/doughnuts etc

and the portion sizes are just unbelievable. it’s not normal to eat a full pizza to oneself no matter what anyone says

the obsession with junk food and sugar is so normalised in our society. once you start viewing them as addictive/harmful substances like heroin then you will finally break free of your addiction and get the body type you deserve

[seamalachite]

Fat people are beautiful. No matter if you find them attractive or not, they deserve respect. Is it healthy to be obese? No, but that doesn't mean that you can body-shame them. You have no idea what's happening in their private life or mind. Their life is absolutely not your business, and saying that you're humiliating them to  "help them lose weight" doesn't justify you being an unmannered piece of shit.

With the third season of Bridgerton coming out in three months, I'd like to point out once again that I'd better not see a single comment fat shaming Penelope.

For once, for once dammit, we are getting a romance where one of the leads is a plus size woman, who will be seen as beautiful and attractive and sexy by her love interest, a thin man, and I intend to enjoy it from start to end.

I know some people dislikes Penelope as a character and this is perfectly fine, but I don't want to see a single comment about her body. You don't like her? Fine. You are free to say you can't stand her, that she is annoying, she is evil, what you want. But don't you dare to say a word about her body.

Fat shaming is disgusting and whoever does it is disgusting too. I''ll never tolerate it, never. You are warned.

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

everyone has the right to complain about their body and feel insecure about their appearance because everyone gets shit on in one way or another BUT there's a difference between getting bullied for something and living in a world that's literally not designed to accommodate your body

[spookyradluka]

Hot take but unsolicited medical advice to fat women is never out of genuine health concerns, it's to humiliate, and you can't change my mind

[whatbigotspost]

Let's let 2023 be the year that we end adding stuff onto posts that you are pretending to agree with but are blatantly undercutting.

This is the kind of stuff people think is appropriate to add to my explicitly fat positive posts. It costs $0.00 to hit that new text post button and write something from scratch that is as fatphobic as you are. DON'T add this to mine and act like you agree w/ me.

[naughtynoodle056]

Im not gonna pretend I don't think it's hot as hell when I'm In the Mood™, but when I am not and people come at me with no warning teasing me about how fat I am now I really wanna start throwing shit with my fucking mind. It's one thing when I'm blinded by the horny, but it feels so GROSS when people insist I'm fat or call me obese even if I know they don't mean it to be vicious because it's just like. I'm a size 2 at most. Slightly over 100 pounds. That being called 'obese' just takes me out of the fucking moment so so hard a lot of the times because it's just like a BIIIIIG Internalized Fatphobic Slap to the face. How are people that are bigger than I am by a Substantial Amount supposed to feel when they see people half their size getting fatshamed??? Not to mention that sometimes at my Worst, those sorts of things can and will trigger my own disordered eating problems and make me feel guilty about enjoying food...😐.

Sometimes I just feel too well versed in how fatphobia genuinely affects people on a real level to enjoy some of the stuff I see and deal with in this community, I guess. Calling someone that's not even 105lbs fat or overweight or obese reeks of 90s/2000s diet culture where it was only acceptable to be rail thin, not EVEN slim with a big butt. I definitely don't think every person guilty of this is bad at heart, not by a long shot. Most of it feels like ignorance and being blinded by horniness in the moment to think rationally, I just really wish some of them were a little more aware of how like... Loaded some of their comments can be, cuz I never wanna rip someone's head off if they just innocently think we're playing around.

I guess I just wish there was more nuance about it? IDK, a warning before jumping into that sort of thing??? xD IDK even a "hey are you in the mood for some Not So Soft Feedism" would go a long way cuz sometimes the playful teasing is fun!! But other times it just makes me feel gross. It's like a yucky reminder of "oh... you think any visible fat on someone's body = THEY'RE fat on some 90s/Y2K shit ... Ew...." and like I'm contributing to the "skinny people takin over the Feedism community " phenomenon just by existing and I dO NOOOOOTTTTT wanna do that at ALL. I'll ruin a whole vibe in a conversation and get serious before I start taking credit from the ACTUAL fat people in the community 😭
