#when they're promoted they become proper demons

[kaleidoru]

revisited my favorite lil imp dude and finally gave him his demon (promoted) form... though sadly his employer is withholding that promotion from him to keep him subservient :(

[fatphobiabusters]

People say weight loss is for sure possible...but no one agrees on how to do it.

Dieting works...but there's now an "ob*sity epidemic" despite people lining the pockets of weight loss corporations more than ever.

Weight loss products work...but weight loss corporations are making the Exact. Same. Claims. about their products that they did in 1910 with the products that were sold and then discontinued over a century ago.

Humans are all meant to be thin...but there are families of fat people who stay fat no matter how much "willpower" they muster and have fat ancestors going back generations.

It's about health and not looks...but people who are losing weight due to smoking, cancer, illness, mental disorders, and other health conditions are praised for their weight loss and told to keep going.

Fat people aren't oppressed...but fat people have no positive representation, no proper access to clothing, face a wage gap, endure deadly medical neglect and abuse, have their deaths by police brutality excused with their fatness, and countless other aspects of oppression that they deal with every single day.

Fat people are all fat because they overeat...but you can point to any fat person on the sidewalk and there's an extreme likelihood that they're on their 30th diet attempt in the past 10 years while there's thin people who eat whatever they want, however much they want, and don't exercise yet never gain a single pound.

Fat people are privileged because they gorge on unnecessary food...but fat people are overwhelmingly living in poverty, are not paid the same amount of money for the same work as their thin peers, are not chosen for promotions, are turned away from jobs that an employer wants more than a "pretty face" for, are at major risk of workplace harassment, and endure oppression even beyond just that.

Fat people aren't treated badly...but people use the word "fat" as a metaphor and synonym for "ugly," "unlovable," and "unworthy," while at the same time believing "fat," the most basic term for a specific body type, is a dirty, taboo insult you should never allow to leave your lips.

Professionals agree that fatness is inherently bad...but almost any weight-related research study that people, especially weight loss corporations, use to justify demonizing fat people has the worst methodology imaginable with validity errors and logical fallacies galore as well as conflicts of interest due to how many of these studies just happen to be funded by the corporations that make millions and billions of dollars off of the demonization these studies promote.

All health conditions a fat person has are caused by their fatness...but there is not a single health condition that only fat people obtain, many fat people developed the health condition in question when they were thin or thinner, weight gain is often a symptom of said health conditions, fat people are not given the same amount or quality of healthcare as thin people, and repeated starvation attempts (also known as "yo-yo dieting") have been shown to worsen a person's health.

Fat people can't have eating disorders...but fat people are the group encouraged to partake in disordered eating by this fatphobic world the most and then are not given any support to recover.

Thin privilege doesn't exist...but thin people who see the way fat people are treated in society do their absolute damndest and take whatever drastic measures they have to in order to prevent themselves from ever becoming one of "Them."

Fit and fat are mutually exclusive...but there are fat athletes as far up as even the Olympics, and sports are intentionally made inaccessible to fat people to the point of fat children even being turned away when trying to join a sports team.

Fat people are ugly...but all we grow up ever seeing in media are thin, conventionally attractive people painted with layers of makeup next to fat characters who were intentionally designed with an ill-fitting outfit, matted hair, and all other traits that fit the "ugly" stereotype that the character designer could manage to slap onto a single person.

Fat people are big, bad bullies...but studies show that weight is the number one excuse that children use to bully their peers, outcompeting a multitude of other oppressed identities considered.

Fat women are just men and vice versa...but sometimes they're androgynous, and sometimes they're basically nonbinary, and sometimes they're just things, and sometimes they're nothing at all depending on what labels a fatphobe decides will hurt a fat person most that day.

Fat people are subhuman...but fat people deserve the same love, respect, compassion, and support that all people are born inherently deserving.

Fatphobia isn't real, but—

so, apparently a lot of people seem to dislike and hate on a lot of manga creators art styles?? it isn't seen very often, but I've seen discourse with the Demon Slayer manga artstyle and the anime artstyle. and apparently people have also been hating on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga artstyle as well?? this, I do not understand.

people argue, "oh, but the anime artstyle is so much better and the manga looks really horrible", I've seen it with Demon Slayer so often. but have you even SEEN the art for the manga?? it's amazing, and brings it to life. but when people get upset over the DS manga, it's always over the low quality panels. which doesn't make sense to me, because they're supposed to be that way?? not everyone can draw impressive manga panels each time, it can over work someone. that's why the super good quality art panels are for the peak panels, usually when something super impressive or surprising happens!

and I've heard people saying "the animation carries the show, not the story" and this I never understood either. yes! an animation and artstyle can carry the show, but so can the story! you just have to understand it better. even when the show only has one season and this is what upsets me the most as well. people will hate over just that one season and will never wait for the next to give a proper opinion. eventually people have stopped with the "animation carrying the story" but I still see people hating on the DS manga art. sorry that it isn't good enough for you people, apparently.

I haven't seen people hating on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga art really, as I only just recently found this out. and I've gotta say, I love it a lot. especially when it comes to the facial expressions of each character, even in their low quality panels. my favorites have to be between each of the main JJK trios, Fushiguro/Itadori/Kugisaki and Gojo/Geto/Shoko. but what gives it charm is that it's different and more messy than usual manga art styles. and the animation helped the manga become even more popular! that's how Akutami can continue making the manga, because everyone supports the manga and continues to buy it.

an anime adaptation doesn't make the manga or the story better, it gives people the time to watch a good show and it's also a really great promotion of the manga. especially if no one has heard of it or read it yet, and they say "I want to get this now!" people need to understand that while their opinions are valid, sometimes you can say things that can tend to hurt an artist if they were to read these things. if you continue to put discord upon an artstyle, these can give an artist super low motivation and it can make them believe that their art isn't good enough for the viewers.

I don't know about many other manga that get this same deal, but if you know any that do, they shouldn't be just straight up shit on like this. especially if it's a super popular manga. don't hurt the people who make these things, even if they will never end up seeing your comments.

the other thing I notice in a anime adaptation is that they try to stay as close to the original style as possible, and sometimes you never see much of a difference! that's how great they are to keeping the original style to the show and story. there's moments in the anime where they will keep these low quality panels too, I've seen a lot in Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen from watching these both, and I really love it.

please just understand that not everyone can live up to your high expectations and that if you are someone who absolutely hurts on an artstyle then maybe don't read the manga and just be patient enough for the next season.

that's all from me, have a great day!
