#but it’s frustrating ESPECIALLY because some of y’all preach body positivity about ur idols

[srirachaz]

you know what something that is really disappointing, especially as someone who is fat myself, when in the kpop community there are discussions of gross people in kpop and inevitably shindong comes up. and i dislike that guy as much as the next person but insults towards him are like 5% related to the gross things he does and 95% related to his weight.

(most of the comments looked just like this)

and compared to his group mates who have done equally gross things, i think that shindong gets extra hate simply because he’s fat. this post wasn’t even about him and he got dragged into in.

and hell i still get thirst edits of heechul flying around and some of the things he’s done id say are worse than some of the stuff shindong has done.

heechul gets to escape some of it because he’s beautiful. and people can forgive anything a person does as long as that person is skinny and beautiful.

like this isn’t defending shindong. i don’t like him. but can we please stop using fat as an insult? like there are people out there (like me) who see this stuff and just think about how much hate we’d get simply if we existed in a more visible light

and this doesn’t even mention idols who are considered “bigger” like jeongyeon or jihyo from twice or changbin from stray kids or woobin from cravity who havent done anything terrible like super junior yet still get insulted simply because their faces are wider than the average idol

if you’re going to insult someone, at least be creative about it. i’m sick and tired of everyone’s only insults being “fatty” or “piggy” especially when these people are in better shape than some of these skinny commenters could ever hope to be

i see the same shit with western artists like lizzo and megan thee stallion or really any female artist that that has a hint of a stomach. when that news of lizzo getting sued dropped the only thing people could focus on was this rhetoric of “i knew something was always off about her, her fatness was obviously a sign of her awful personality”

i’m not here to scream body positivity at people but there are ways to better and more creative ways insult people about their actual failings as people (racist, misogynistic, homophobic, whatever else you want to get angry about) and use real reasons to dislike someone to insult them, rather than take the easy and overused route and go for their weight or other physical appearances. fat is a descriptive word, not an insulting one.

“but if calling someone fat isn’t an insult then why are you upset?”

because you’re making it in insult. does saying “that’s fucking gay” to negatively refer to something make it not bad because gay isn’t a bad word?

obviously when you add negative connotations to something even regular words will become insults

none of you are fucking original

fucking grow up
