The arms THE ARMS the arms

for every time someone says “clean” eating isn’t healthy and instead disorded , an obese person gets one of their fingers’ cut off

“what about orthorexia!!” then there’s obviously more to it ;-;

[deep-thoughts-by-warnick]

hey. do you think fatphobia isn't real? do you think its made up? do you think fat people are complaining about the natural consequences of their actions?

why do you care?

no, really, why do you care so much about fat people? why do you care that they are "complaining"? why does it make you so mad? everyone complains. all the time. and, i mean, this is tumblr! nothing matter here. why do you care so much?

why do you get so angry at fat people you think are gross? why do you care so much about someone else's supposed eating habits? hygiene habits? lack of exercise routine? why does any of that matter?

are fat people actually doing anything to you? affecting your life? changing laws or bullying you? really? how? do you think that fat people are coercing skinny people into fat lifestyles? how? by existing? by complaining? by talking about problems in their life?

are you concerned that they're ruining their bodies? why do you care?

its not your body. its not your life.

unfortunately, if this post does end up getting gears turning, the people who change their mind won't say anything. the people most likely to respond are the fatphobic "anti-fat activists" who are blinded completely by their hatred of fatness and fat people. any fat person who finds this post, please be cautious of the notes. i don't know what they'll look like.

but if you have someone in your life who might benefit from these questions, go ahead and ask them. ask them to explain their bias. maybe it will make them see how pointless it is to hate fatness. safety first, however.

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

[wolf-tail]

Socialists, get into fat liberation theory right the fuck now. I am speaking as a fellow dirty commie, DO IT.

You all like to lump fatness into either the category of "product of bourgeoisie decadence" or "side effect of capitalism forcing us to eat bad food" when neither is the actual case.

Fat people exist in all social classes and all walks of life, often regardless of individual choices.

Fat people are victims of capitalist exploitation at the hands of the multi billion dollar diet and weight loss industry that pushes eating disorder behavior and unnecessary surgeries on to us all in the name of profits.

Fatphobia ties into beauty standards that capitalists use to manipulate people into hating their bodies so they can be sold beauty. Think about how many of the ads you get every day are for weight loss.

in honor of disabled pride month, i want to give a shout-out to all disabled fat people who had to roll their eyes who have been told "you're not disabled, just fat" or "thats because you dont eat well/exercise"

[softandorsweet]

being fat is hard because you don’t just run into inaccessibility that affects only you. for example, if i’m bigger than a car seat is built for, then i inconvenience those sitting next to me. if i’m bigger than a room is built for, i encroach on others space. it makes the fat person feel like it’s a personal fault, and skinny people are often not kind to fat folks who take up space. i want to make this clear: it is Not the fat persons fault AND i understand the strain and shame it can cause fat people. this world is built to exclude fat people. fitting of my favorite phrase inspired by the social model of disability; it’s not the fat persons fault, it’s the worlds fault.

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

There's a lot of micro aggressions with Mammons character, not only to fat people, but towards ace/aro spec people and nuerodiverse people.

Hes shown to have a short attention span, and needing to use fidget and sensory tools, this could be a commentary in the over monetisation of fidget and sensory tools which cause them to be less accessible to those who need them, but with the lack of forethought with the writing and how Mammon behaves (the forementioned low attention span), it seems more a dig at people who NEED to use them, rather then people who use them for trends.

Hes almost always depicting eating something, which other characters react with disgust, frustration or uncomfortable which uhg. Honestly sets off my eating disorder with how its treated, so I won't go into it too much.

Hes asexuality was a last minute thing, and viv has stated before that she specifically believes that people are asexual due to being unable to love anyone but themselves with Alastor. This train of thought follows through with Mammon and Octavia also gets similar treatment with how the spindlehorse team treats her as a burden to stolas and a selfish kid.

Please share your thoughts with me ♡

People who think fat people are inherently unattractive are so fucking deranged. You can accept that there are people out here riding dragon dildos like the cops are behind them but a human being with a statistically above average amount of adipose tissue is out of the question????

There are fat girls in this world who have men screaming crying throwing up, begging for the pussy, on their front yards in the rain with a boombox, and you think you're better than them because you drink the laxatives you sell on tiktok to 15 year olds with EDs like water and act like salad dressing is literal asbestos???

I'll guarantee you right now there's a fat man rocking his girlfriend's bed while she's screaming his name like a prayer and has the sheets in a deathgrip and another one with a twink between his legs holding onto his big ass thighs like a rollercoaster lap bar, and here your goofy ass is in the gym, flexing in the mirror for approval from strangers and living off chalk-flavored bricks and bone marrow until your blood is the consistency of chili flakes and thinking you're smart and they're dumb.

There is something seriously wrong with you all and you need DEEP introspection to fix it.

"Moxxie's "overweight" jokes are so bad that even fatfobs don't laugh at them. Because Moxxie is NOT overweight! He's skinny as a matchstick! And the worst part is that later in the episodes he begins to be proud of the fact that he was able to lose some weight, although he does not need it, he is skinny. Viv, do you know what it's called? Eating disorders. Do you know what it leads to? Anorexia and bulimia. How can you be so desperate to make your show progressive and tolerant and at the same time so chauvinistic?"
