i hate how skinnified alternative spaces are, "shops that sell alt clothing!!" and my fat ass can't enter in a pant from said store if without cutting my blood flow.

also, the fact that the moment fat people are alternative is super funny!! and a meme!!!! a respected artist of the metalhead community literally named one of his fat characters an stylized slur!!!

the alt community is FULL of fatphobia at the point not even artists are respected, ask gerard way or george fisher

I know pretty/skinny privilege exists but it's so weird when it first starts happening to you after never having experienced it

this is gonna be very different from my usual posts cuz it's a little more personal but i honestly don't like the dichotomy of skinny vs fat. I've seen so many posts where people just talk about this dichotomy and i have to ask: what about the people outside of it?

I will say this right now. I am overweight. That is a fact. I'm currently working on it by going to the gym and eating healthier but it's a work in progress. I'm not fat by any means, but no one would consider me "skinny" either. So i don't have the disadvantages of being fat, but neither am I afforded skinny privilege. So where does that leave me, and the millions of other people who fit into discussions about weight?

We need to reframe this discussion. I don't know how, because I am one single person, but we need to be more open with talking about gray areas of weight. Because framing discussions around "skinny" vs "fat" leave out huge swathes of people who don't neatly fit in to those categories

i've seen so many tiktoks of skinny people saying that they can also relate to "fat funny friend" and not to gatekeep but for the love of god please stop.

it's not just about who has the right to be sad and relate to the song. it's about us non-skinny people having a safe place where we're all experiencing the same bias and we can reassure ourselves that we're just enough as we are. please just give us this you have everything else

I find it interesting how many people still believe, that models are just effortlessly thin and beautiful. It’s a form of art, it’s made to look easy, like ballet or writing.

But it’s not. Dieting while doing exercise and not eating to little or training to hard is not simple. If it would be anyone could do it. I mean most of us certainly don’t even manage to come to their goal weight, no front. It’s more about seeing that you could be capable of achieving all your dreams if you stop taking it easy, breezy as if it would mean nothing. Your whole life will change.

Skinny privilege is based on many studies as well as pretty privilege. Don’t try to look devastated, try to look like you are the one in control and take care of yourself. You’ll be so much more happy.

I hate being naturally fat. I hate that I have health problems. I hate that I can’t eat whatever I want. I hate that I’m on the verge of serious illness. I hate being borderline diabetic. I hate having limited mobility. Some people can eat whatever they want and be skinny and healthy. I hate not being that way.

#I love food but food hates me!!!#It’s not fair #throws a temper tantrum #skinny privilege #I live to eat #It’s my comfort and how I stim AND my special interest #I’m a glutton and a hedonist #Let me live

Just a thought that I've been chewin on for the past few days: You can exist between Skinny Privilege and Fatphobia. I do. Many folks I know do. Just because we do not benefit from the social and societal bonus of being thin, does NOT mean we experience Fatphobia. My body has changed many times throughout the years and I have lived as thin, fat, and in between. The way people ESPECIALLY doctors treated me when I was fat vs thin is astonishing.

a fat person could be doing the most superhuman insane display of skill or talent ever seen and yall would be like this is the funniest shit on this app my fav meme. Meanwhile a skinny person does literally nothing other than be on camera and they get tagged as every aesthetic with a name

#'omg gender!' and its just an average looking skinny white person #if you as a skinny person see this and think this is bullying or bigotry congrats the privilege has taken over your brain #im afraid its terminal #fatphobia

The fact that Taylor Swift is releasing FOUR different versions of the SAME album is completely bonkers to me. Each album will have an exclusive song. So if anyone wants to hear all of the exclusive songs, they'd have to buy ALL FOUR of these album versions. Like are you fucking kidding me? It’s really damn hard to care about her heartbreak when she is the most self serving woman on the planet. Her getting dumped doesn’t tug at my heartstrings. You're not special because you got kicked to the curb. And you know what? I’m betting that, like the stupid concert movie, she’ll eventually release all songs for streaming after she’s gotten all the money strained out of them. People will just have to be able to wait long enough.

It’s wild that she’s a billionaire but still nickel and dimes her fans. It's like she’s money hungry at every turn, but the try-hard Swifties won’t mind being exploited because it’s their precious CO2 Queen TayTay 🥺.

What's even more wild is the "economist" in this article:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/03/08/taylor-swift-fans-split-4-variants-tortured-poets-album-bonus-tracks/72840976007/

"Nobody is forcing you to go buy the album" Bender says. "We are all free to make our own choice about that. And if you're a parent who's frustrated that you have to buy this for your child, the cost is still less than the value of your child's happiness."

Excuse me, WHAT? Are they really going to try and guilt trip parents into forking out almost $200 for FOUR EXCLUSIVE SONGS. Absolutely not. I don't have children, but I can already picture the parenting moment I'd have if they asked me for this crap. Time for the valuable lesson of "You don't always get what you want. Taylor may get whatever she wants, but you're not Taylor, sweetie". If that makes my kid unhappy then so be it. For a lot of families, $200 is all they have to put groceries in the fridge. Or pay the light bill. Or a car payment.

I'm appalled. And this is why I hate Taylor Swift with every fiber of my being. I dare a Swiftie to come up in my asks and threaten me over this.

[Image ID: Text that reads “’Thin privilege’ is constantly being accused of having an ED because you’re naturally thin even though you are well within a healthy BMI and eat healthy.”]

This fatphobe has apparently blocked this blog, so I can’t reblog their post. So instead, I will write my response to their post here:

Thin privilege is having an eating disorder be cared about and not encouraged by your family, friends, doctors, and society as a whole. Thin privilege is actually being able to be considered anorexic and not labeled with “atypical anorexia” just because you’re not thin.

Thin privilege is living in a world that caters everything to your body, from clothing to exercise equipment to chairs all designed to fit you and no one bigger. Thin privilege is not having to pay extra for the same goods and services. Thin privilege is actually being seen as beautiful by general society and not being told your body is only capable of being loved as a fetish.

Thin privilege is not being constantly subjected to medical neglect. Thin privilege is a doctor actually doing tests on you to find a tumor instead of telling you to lose weight for years until someone finally listens and finds the tumor when you only have two days left to live.

Thin privilege is being represented in every single piece of media. Thin privilege is not having your body relegated to only villains, ugly characters, and characters who symbolize evil things.

Thin privilege is being able to go to the grocery store and put a melon in your cart without someone else taking it out with a “You don’t need all that sugar, I’m doing you a favor.” Thin privilege is being able to eat in public without scrutiny.

Thin privilege is not having your children taken away from you and put into the foster care system purely for their weight. Thin privilege is not being kept from adopting children because the adoption agency thinks your weight is a sign of bad parenting.

Thin privilege is automatically being viewed as healthy and thus not facing the social repercussions of the opposite. Thin privilege is having your problems taken seriously. Thin privilege is being able to go to your elementary school’s swimming lessons in 4th grade as an 8 year old instead of willingly choosing to do the written assignment to keep others from seeing your ostracized body. Thin privilege is being 5 years old and not comparing your body to your smaller friend who has the same name as you and you pretend to be twins with but know that you will never be the same as her.

Thin privilege is not being recommended to starve by every person on this planet. Thin privilege is being able to find clothes in any store and not cry in a dressing room. Thin privilege is being allowed to go trick or treating. Thin privilege is even being able to find a costume in your size to go in the first place. Thin privilege is being allowed to eat as much as you want on Thanksgiving.

Thin privilege is not being put on diets as early as 8 years old. Thin privilege is not being categorized as a disease. Thin privilege is not having the government wage a war on your body. Thin privilege is not having the first lady consider your body an epidemic and make ridding the country of you her goal during her husband’s presidency.

Thin privilege is not having everyone refer to your body with a literal slur. Thin privilege is not having the most basic word for your body type treated as a taboo insult to the point that being called that word is most people’s greatest fear.

Thin privilege is being chosen over fat people for everything. Thin privilege is not facing a wage gap for your body type. Thin privilege is not facing workplace harassment and job discrimination. Thin privilege is not being harassed in a Discord server for suggesting the developers of a supposedly diverse video game make more than one character out of thirty have your body type.

Thin privilege is everyone learning how to draw your body from the get-go and not forcing themselves to learn how to draw you years later after they’ve already learned how to draw everything else. Thin privilege is being represented in more than one of the three hundred works on someone’s art blog.

Thin privilege is being allowed to participate in society and culture. Thin privilege is not having to learn how to sew in order to have any clothes to wear. Thin privilege is not having people smaller than you take clothing in your size from a thrift store and make it into a full outfit, severely depleting the miniscule amount of clothing that poor people with your body type have available to them.

Thin privilege is being able to be successful without everyone and their mother constantly commenting on how unhealthy they think you are. Thin privilege is not having your mother put a sign that reads “Nothing tastes better than how skinny feels” on the refrigerator that you’re forced to see whenever you want to nourish your body.

Thin privilege is not having your rape dismissed by not just society but even the actual judge of your case because “You should be grateful someone wanted to have sex with a body like yours for once.” Thin privilege is getting to be the prom queen. Thin privilege is not being controversial when Disney makes a two minute animation of someone with your body type in a neutral way.

Thin privilege is actually being able to see people who look like you while you grow up who are not ridiculed or cast to the side. Thin privilege is having every aesthetic blog on Tumblr feature only your body type. Thin privilege is not having to scavenge for representation and rely on a handful of blogs to find pictures of people with your body. Thin privilege is not having to use a euphemism for your body type when searching for pictures of people like you online because not doing so will only give you bigoted and fetishistic search results.

Thin privilege is being able to have a blog that isn’t constantly followed by thinspo people so they can use you as inspiration to throw up and starve, so they can find other people like you to abuse, so they can send you hate, so they can steal your selfies to post and laugh at with their friends. Thin privilege is not being screenshot and put on the Reddit thread r/fatlogic. Thin privilege is not having documentaries made about children who look like you and how them existing is a problem. Thin privilege is people not then using those documentaries as starvation porn when they want something to watch instead of eat dinner.

Thin privilege is being able to fly on a plane. Thin privilege is being able to go on any amusement park ride and know that it was made to fit you. Thin privilege is not having to use an app to figure out if a place is accessible to you. Thin privilege is not enduring barrages of hate on YouTube for simply posting a video of you trying on clothes. Thin privilege is people making videos about your struggles and not having enormous amounts of downvotes on those videos because they “promote ob*sity.”

Thin privilege is being able to post a picture of yourself without being hassled for it by strangers, friends, and even family. Thin privilege is being able to see your parents who have your same body type not hate themselves and constantly try to make themselves smaller throughout your childhood and the rest of your life. Thin privilege is not having invasive, deadly surgeries pressured on you and oftentimes even forced on you to be able to receive actual life-saving healthcare.

Thin privilege is not having the worth of your life debated in a pandemic. Thin privilege is not having the worth of giving you an organ transplant debated. Thin privilege is not having to change your weight in order to transition because things like top surgery are not gatekept from you and your body type is seen as inherently performative of whatever gender you transition to.

Thin privilege is not being forced to top and be dominant. Thin privilege is not having your asexuality, aromanticism, and any other queer identity dismissed because “You’re only that identity because men/no one want to be with you.” Thin privilege is not being misgendered and degendered because people with your body type are seen as “real women” and are not forced into masculinity. Thin privilege is not being gatekept from even androgyny and thus not leaving you with a body that is more of a thing than a person.

Thin privilege is not fearing PE in school. Thin privilege is not being turned away from a gymnastics club because they don’t believe people with your body type are capable of doing sports. Thin privilege is having your disabilities taken seriously and being able to use a mobility aid without being ridiculed even more than other disabled people are.

And thin privilege is so much more.

Bra shopping just reminds me of how much our society hates women who aren't skinny all over again.

And I'm not even fat.

repeat after me: if you are the descendent of colonizers living on stolen land, you do not get to judge the methods of decolonial resistance movements.

#this isn’t in relation to the last reblog itself it just reminded me of something #thoughts #sarahofmagdelene has some good shorts about this on insta though #like specifically abt how it relates to white feminism + patriarchal notions of (white) womanhood #the skinny of it being that white women tend to impose the standards of white womenhood laid out by white patriarchy onto those who they ar #*womanhood #(sorry all over the place today)#complicit in the oppression of with the added specifically racialized view of violent resistance through the lens of various savage tropes #have to get a copy of her book after the strike tbh #but yeah i think a lot about this in congruence with how authoritarianism is such a deeply engrained aspect of whiteness & how that itself #contributes to the attitudes being discussed here being so prevalent even among my fellow white people who consider themselves leftist or #progressive (& how that relates to how many white people are liberals/neoliberals posing as being farther left than they are)#but if we were to relate this specifically to the last reblog i would like to point out that another part of that is the whiteness frames #good & bad as an immutable either/or binary & the way super fucked up notions of purity play into whiteness #which (not an excuse absolutely not acting like this is still 100000% white supremacist at its core) is what leads my fellow white people t #be so fearful of having current or past wrong doings pointed out as such & why so many are more concerned with being seen as racist than w #the actual racism they perpetuate/garner privilege from #because that means being horrible with no chance of change (thoug oppressed ppl do 100% hold the right to view their oppressors as such #the white guilt this often leads to when self imposed is what leads to attitudes like the article from the last post describes)#(& so the difference of perspective in the oppressed feeling that way & the oppressor using it to self flagellate is v important here)#& all of this is ultimately rooted in the carcerality inherent to whiteness as a social construct #both in terms of the far worse tangible violence imposed upon poc (particularly black people & fn ppl here in canada) & the carceral view o #morality white “culture” imposes upon those white people who are unwilling to fully do the work to divest from whiteness #hope this is coherent #also if any of this is out of line plz lmk #but basically to cut to the chase power (& as a result empowerment of the oppressed) viewed through the lens whiteness has set for it will #always be fucked up & lead to completely racist conclusions about liberation movements for poc #& the reason i mention this in relation to decolonial movements specifically is due to whiteness being an inherently colonial construct it’#*itself #racism
