Cw Fatphobia - Tumblr Posts

Rant time!

Warnings: weight, fat shaming (kinda), underweight, bullying ig?, oral retainers ig, thoughts of murder, violent thoughts, thinking of hurting others

looooove when my LITTLE sister decides it's a good idea to poke at literally every imperfection

Mimicking my lisp because I have metal retainers in as if her teeth don't look like shit (mine used to look worse but I have straight teeth now)

Getting on my case for having low grades when I have trouble remembering to pass things in due to a weird system

Badgering me for my messy room when I don't have the motivation nor energy to clean it because I'm tired after school

Shoving it in my face that I'm short when she knows I want to be taller than I am (she's taller)

Teasing me about looking fat all the time when in reality, I'm a perfectly healthy weight for my age, and my height (she looks like she doesn't eat and is very clearly underweight)

Telling me I look like shit and have poor taste in clothing when what I do is dress comfortably and put my hair up to keep it out of my face and off the back of my neck

Saying I'm stupid for not getting references and memes about things I haven't seen

Pestering me about not being able to see something when only her RED led lights are on when the walls are painted a DARK BLUE and the bunk bed frame is DARK BROWN (I couldn't find a cord she was trying to give me, the cord is black and it was in the shadows)

So anyways, I regret asking for her

Update from the next day, she's calling me slow again and making fun of my 'low intelligence'

I fucking hate her I'm having the stabby thoughts and I wish it was legal to kill her but it's not but I want to rip her fucking eyes out but jail and death row would suck

Though my doctor has yet to diagnose me, at least she didn't chalk it up to me being fat like my mother did🙏🙏love you ms doctor you're cool

it's 2023 stop trying to apply all standards that apply to people to animals. Humans and other species are as the name implies completely different species. Concepts that apply to people will probably not and usually do not apply to other species.

Body positivity for humans and saying it's okay to be fat does not contradict or cancel out basic animal welfare. It is in fact animal abuse and neglect to feed your pets until they are so overweight it is impacting their health. This statement does not in any single way contradict the fact that it's literally fine for people to be fat.

There is a massive, non-interchangeable difference between people having autonomy and not being shamed for existing, and abusing animals who have no choice in what they eat or how much they're able to move around because literally they rely on you 110% because they're in captivity.

It's okay for humans to be fat. It's okay for humans to be fat even if they're not healthy.

And this does not conflict with the statement that if you are feeding your animals to the point that they are overweight and it is affecting their health, that means you are abusing that animal.

Body positivity for humans does not mean mistreating animals is okay.

Mistreating animals being a bad thing does not mean humans shouldn't have body positivity.

These two things have literally nothing to do with eachother. Humans are people, who have the ability to make choices for themselves. Humans evolved over the entire history of this universe to be able to store fat. You cannot apply the standards for people to other species.

Humans being fat is okay does not contradict the statement that people have a responsibility to keep animals under their care healthy, which means giving them enough exorcize, a proper diet, and enrichment.

It's 2023. You cannot look at things that apply to people and try to transplant that idea onto animals, or vice versa. That is not how this works.

Stop anthropomorphising animals and thinking this is gonna have good results for the animals.

I'm tagging this post with everything that other post was tagged with so more people see it.

Ohh I thought you were telling OP to shut up and deal with it, I know the post is worded a bit awkwardly and sometimes you have to reread it

Fat lgbt people deserve better than to be treated as either unlovable or a fetish with no in-between.

me: so there's this guy, a bit shorter than me, feisty

evil me: mexican, exotic, I dig it

me: *side eye* yeah, he's cute, also he's not skinny - he's been doing a lot of dancing and sports. there's some meat on those bones, and a soft tummy to boot

evil me: to hug and cuddle?

me: *nodding* to hug and cuddle. now that I think of it, he has a bit of love handles, and fat rolls if he sits in this specific way, just like me

evil me: *gasps, pointing at me* fat rolls?! love handles?!! fat!! fat!!!!

me: n-no, wait, this guy's not fat

evil me: yeah, he's cute

me: *squinting* ...and he is built pretty much like me?

evil me: yeah, pretty much the same

me: *still squinting*

evil me: except you're fat

me: *exasperated gasping*

I work at a daycare with infants.

One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.

There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”

My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”

To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”

Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesn’t think she’s too fat to be allowed to eat.
