#but the vast amount of reblogs... i genuinely don't think are from their followers. i think it's virtue signalling to be frank

the main reasons i dislike and almost never reblog posts screaming at artists to draw fat characters is 1) i really don't think it does any work to fix the problem to call people cowards, it just gives you a brief high of saying something mildly justified but cruel to a general group of people on the internet and 2) while i'm not saying i catalogue each reblog that's just screaming at artists and meticulously compare the art that the person who reblogged it puts love on in their personal blogging, i do notice when people talk the talk but never walk the walk, and i don't much care for that. it's always a little harder but more rewarding to put a little bit of love on a single piece of art with the things you claim to want artists to work on that you had to dig and curate for than to slam reblog on a pithy mean statement that isn't showing you any images that offend your subconscious bias towards thinner bodies
#anti-fat bias#i genuinely do kind of think that the fact that those pithy statements get so much more traction is that there's no images#like as SOON as you see a real picture with the traits you claim to value... well you dislike it for OTHER reasons#the style's not to your taste. it's amateurish. you don't know the character or want to reblog OC art. the way they do shading is weird.#i know that sometimes the people who write these posts are out there drawing traits outside the beauty standard#but the vast amount of reblogs... i genuinely don't think are from their followers. i think it's virtue signalling to be frank
