We very much need to become more aware of the cultural perception and criteria of fatness bc the latest online discussions of it are deeply embarrassing to read. Everyone has a different definition of fatness, and this is due to the way society dictates fatness in relation to others. A person could be called skinny or fat depending on the context, who or what theyre being compared to relative wise, clothing sizes, its all due to the stigma of fatness that makes any slight connection to it (being the slightest bit curvier compared to the stick thin standard, having a small stomach pouch, ect.) be seen as confirmation of fatness

But whats crucial to understand here is that bigger bodied fat people will never have the "privilege" of being considered skinny, and their existence is often treated as a way to make skinnier or mid-size people look thinner by comparison. Fatphobia is ALL about being afraid or uncomfortable with the biggest fat people, of being like them in any way. So while you are arguing about whether the latest "chubby rep" character is actually "average/normal sized" (i hate categorizing any body type as normal btw), maybe pause for a moment to consider if you or anyone else in this discussion has thought about fat people who could NOT be afforded the argument about whether theyre skinny, fat, or midsize. The ones who are unequivocally fat, with double or triple chins, fat rolls, large stomachs or double stomachs, ect. They are the ones being most left out of discussions and arguments about what constitutes as "really" fat/chubby, when they face the brunt of fatphobia and erasure the most

just bc im a lesbian doesnt mean tht i wont at times become deeply entranced with the beauty of male actor or character. it just means i wld rather be locked in a room with a man with a knife than do anything romantic or sexual with one

All of y'all pretending like heterosexual women are the only ones who experience misogyny, or experience the most misogyny, are not (just) being homophobic, you're being misogynistic.

You're denying women's sex based oppression is real or it's severity. So maybe sit down and shut up and realize that we are still women despite the fact that we are not sleeping with men. You have the ability to make the choice not to sleep with men too. It's not an inaction unique to homosexuals.

I will spread any feminist praxis I want, and if it's insulting for me to reiterate the ideals we preach in these spaces because I'm a homosexual then you can go ahead and be insulted. SSA women have just as much claim to these spaces as you do because we are women and these spaces are for fighting misogyny, which we all experience. It's not just for tackling the misogyny y'all are uncomfortable with, it's for tackling all of it. Get with the program, ladies.

Dude I don’t know where you’re getting this information that 13-14 guys can’t be tall at all. Literally every guy in my freshman high school grade (13-15 year olds) were all 5’6-6’0 at the beginning of the school year and they were all actively growing taller as the year went by. Letting people think Nico is average height or tall is not hurting nobody and you are still entitled to your opinion that Nico can be short. I believe all of Nico’s of various heights can coexist peacefully.

I did say "average" height and was only referring to the fact that Nico's canon height is never explicitly stated. Anyways allow me to rephrase:

my grievances only lie with the wiki for being baselessly wrong. tall nico headcanoners i have no beef with you understand i am simply being silly goofy on my blog mwah mwah

One of the only official things for bsd I ignore is the ages for some of the adult characters… like I am sorry but I do not think dazai is 22 he is like. 25 max. Kyouka and Kenji are definitely 14, I get that but like what is with asagiri and making characters weirdly young??? (This is targeted towards 45 yo fukuzawa(I thought he was 60 when I read it first))

yeah some ages are honestly baffling

it makes sense for atsushi to be 18 and im ok with kenji/kyouka being 14 too but i wish the older agency memebers had a bigger age difference with the kids. and youre absolutely correct dazai SHOULD NOT be 22, ik its bc of how young he was in the mafia but thats,, still weird like yeah yeah suspension of disbelief but its hard to imagine him being all that smart and terrifying at 16. i wish him (and chuuya and kunikida) were like 26 at least.

fukuzawa is a good example of this as well i wish he was in his 50s, and i mean. he says hes kyoukas grandfather which while technically possible is still a stretch, like just say shes your kid lmao. i think a huge part of this confusion is also in his design, his hair is meant to have always been grey ig but it just reads as aging lmao. similarly hirotsu looks 75 when he's only 50!!!

inadvertently stopped using my freckle fade cream without thinking.... right around the time i started making gifs of felix.... coincidence?

Extremely curious about what aesthetic you're talking about in your tags if you're comfortable sharing and ranting !

oh gosh i don't want anyone catching strays (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠) uhh putting it as politely as possible i rly wish looking like Some Guy didn't default to looking like a boring regular white dude i wouldn't even register in my peripheral.

i don't rly register men in my view anyways usually but it Kills me that dykes do this too i see it so often on bumble here n on the streets sldkfkaka. like why is this such a common default as an expression of masculinity where is the fun !! the flavor !! 🤌 The Culture !! 🇧🇷 it is also very white here and I'm an afrolatina so (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)

as a bisexual I'm also like. u could do anything and be anything that u want and that's the choice .. ? (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠) this is killing me !! i tend 2 be drawn to artsy ppl n Weirdos™ tho so idk it's very boring in comparison. different things work for different ppl though 😅

i am always wearing a cute little outfit even my cozy clothes r cute ૮ ･ ﻌ･ა i am intentional about my fashion choices, i think there are a lot of little things u can signal 2 others in ur fits n i wish ppl played w their looks more !! but fr even a really simple low maintenance look can be hot just, why this alsjfjs help please tell me i am making sense

Unpopular opinion: I hate the Uglies book series

Posts discussing bisexuality in Glee that don’t include/mention Brittany but bring up literally every other character are my villain origin story

what does it take to be a queen? do i need diamonds and rubies for my existence to be seen? what does it take to be called, love? do i need to expose my body to be deemed an angel from above? what does it take to be first? why can't anyone look at me without disgusting thirst?

you are so lucky; being white and skinny. getting lots of attention and having people be attractef to you

im not sure how to respond to this and honestly dislike how this was said to me i think this is a very weird thing to say but yes i acknowledge im privileged due to skin color and body type. this is also funny to me because when i was younger i was made to feel so ugly and othered by my peers so it’s always weird to me that people think this now

I don't understand WHY this fandom simply ignores the existence of Aldebaran

He is one of my favorites because he is huge and super strong, but instead of being part of the big guy stereotype he is kind, friendly and charismatic (and a brazilian! ngl he got points with me) and still the fandom (and Kurumada) ignore this amazing being AND FOR WHAT????

Finally!!!!!!  Thank you Justine!  Thank you!

les misérables:

Cela même lui avait été plus facile qu'à Roméo; Roméo était obligé d'escalader un mur, Marius n'eut qu'à forcer un peu un des barreaux de la grille décrépite qui vacillait dans son alvéole rouillé, à la manière des dents des vieilles gens. (IV, 8, I, p. 341)

me: that's weird, isn't gens masculine? guess i'll look it up on wordreference in case it's also a feminine noun meaning something different.

wordreference:

Inflections of 'gens' (nmpl): pl: gens Toujours au pluriel quand gens = les hommes en général ou un nombre indéterminé de personnes. L'adjectif qui précède s'accorde souvent au féminin.

went to the dermatologist yesterday and was very gently informed that i am White. I knew this already. Yes, Doc, I'll be good, Doc, I'll wear sunscreen when I'm outside for a long time on sunny days, Doc.

Apparently this is incorrect.

Every day. It's supposed to be every day. Literally if I go outside there's supposed to be sunscreen on me. I'm not even one of those extra pale white ppl that burn immediately??

Excuse me ye olde colonists, I've just been prescribed Vampire Life, doctor's orders, what the fuck did you leave your horrible, cold little continent for, clearly we have no business elsewhere.

conventionally “attractive” people are so quick to point out how easy men are but would rather die than discuss how men treat anyone who isn’t attractive to them as less than human because then they would have to admit they have a degree of pretty privilege and they can’t act like they’re oppressed for being beautiful anymore
