My coworker completely misreads our maintenance guy’s vibes… he sees a big fuzzy bearded dude who works outside and thinks he must be super macho, completely missing all the bisexual tabletop gamer coding in his mannerisms. So when maintenance guy and I greet each other like high camp theatre nerds with a series of bows and flourishes and made-up titles, coworker is SO visibly confused and thinks I must have trained him to do this.

Hey I already said this once on this post, but val_and.co fully plagiarized this. It’s from a video by Hannahtalksbodies on Instagram. People should pass around her video, not this.

Honestly, the best part of this post is the words attached to it by this amazing individual. Below is from her instagram post, please check it out.

“Body Positivity is often shoved down our throats as a solution to fatphobia, forgetting they are separate issues. This confusion can be particularly frustrating for those of us who frequently discuss anti-fatness as a systemic problem, only to see the conversation veer off into body positivity.”

“When I talk about systemic fatphobia, I’m not discussing my personal feelings about my body, in fact they are irrelevant. Self-love can’t protect me from medical discrimination. Seeing my body as beautiful won’t secure me equal pay or fair healthcare access. It’s impossible to self-love enough to ensure that I have access to adequate and appropriate clothing and furniture that fits and supports me.”

“Fat people live in a society that devalues us, charges us more, refuses us adequate healthcare, ridicules us and excludes us. Yet, the common advice is to simply love our bodies.”

“The solution that moves us forward is to provide fat individuals with the same rights, resources, and services that thin people receive- without question. Achieving this requires activism and policy changes to break down the systemic barriers that sustain inequality and discrimination against fat people.”

Well I was about to get excited and tell people about another new item that Hot Topic is again for some reason releasing for Steven Universe in the year 2025 but I got distracted by how irritated I am about the presentation.

This new star ringer baby tee comes in straight sizes and plus sizes (for uh five bucks more). Anyone who's ever tried to buy plus sizes is used to seeing the fat tax, and I get that some people offer explanations like "they need more material tho" and "they're not as in demand." Whatever, I'm not a marketer. But I do wanna know why Hot Topic is now doing the Headless Fatty thing.

Look at the difference in how these products are presented.

Straight-size model gets several cute shots with their face as part of the presentation. Plus-size model has their face cut off in ALL shots. (And I checked--if you blow these up, you still can't see a full shot of this person.)

One thing you'll learn if you ever check out how heavier people are presented in news stories (usually with alarming voice-over about the obesity epidemic) is that when they film fat people, they cut off their heads and just show their body. It's pretty dehumanizing and weird.

I'd love if the product photos on Hot Topic's site could do a better and more consistent job of showing what plus-size clothing they have in a way that's similar to how they present their straight-size clothing. Especially since there are many, MANY people who need the plus sizes that I know in these fan communities and would probably love to give Hot Topic their money if they stock the right sizes. I've been so delighted to keep seeing new designs and things for Steven Universe coming out from Hot Topic and it just really a let-down when I see stuff like this.

(And though I know I don't know this model's story and do not in fact know whether they asked to be anonymized, it's generally unlikely most of the time that someone who is a MODEL doesn't want their photo out there, and the "headless fatty" phenomenon is a thing regardless of whether an individual example fits the typical profile.)

in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.
