Double chins and belly rolls and still beautiful, fat and happy.
I know people still cringe at my photos, or any photos that show a fat person not hiding their fatness, their cellulite, visible belly outlines, big arms and thighs, double chins, back rolls and so on and on. I know it’s a long process unlearning that all those above body parts are not inherently less valuable, attractive or appealing. Most of us live with bodies that have some or many parts that are not the specific shape and size or color that society and media have taught us are beautiful. GOD it’s so fucking tiring being told OVER and OVER and OVER that you’re not perfect and that you should constantly strive to be and look different. I’m here to let them cringe at me over and over and over until they un-learn the constraints the media has placed on beauty, bodies and ourselves. Until they’re used to seeing a FAT person without feeling entitled to fatshame, dish out unsolicited diet/workout tips, ridicule and diminish our worth and work. I’ll be here until you can’t count how many fat people you’ve seen in sexy lingerie ads and editorials, fat leads in movies (that aren’t about them losing weight or are self deprecating) until every store carries our sizes and nobody ever feels like they aren’t perfect.

it would be cool if fat dudes without big beards were considered hot sometimes too.
I realized today that the main reason for the “hot fat dude must also include beard” thing is part of the whole “fat people are required to perform a higher and more perfect expression of gender”.
like usually this sort of thing is more easily identifiable in fat women, who have to be hyper feminine to be considered “attractive” by the mainstream. but I sort of blinked today and realized, oh. fat men must have beards to be attractive for the same reason fat men must wear suits and look dapper to be attractive, just like fat women have to have perfect eyeliner and wear cute pinup clothing. higher, more intense expression of gender, executed perfectly and without flaw is required for fat people to be seen as attractive.
ohhhh. that would be why “neckbeards” ie dudes who look like they’ve grown the beard by not shaving as opposed to for an aesthetic decision are exempt from the trend then, i guess.
😮 WHUUUT? BUT I THOUGHT NECKBEARD DIDN’T HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO BEING FAT
WELL HOWSABOUT THAT
It is also a form of racism that excludes people from ethnicities that generally have less body/facial hair.

REMINDER: The desexualization of fat people is a problem and its okay to fight to be recognized as sexual beings. It is ALSO okay for fat women to feel conflicted when this comes packaged with being objectified and dehumanized. One should never have to tolerate being objectified to have their sexual agency acknowledged.
Fat girls and fat boys are honestly worth so much more than y’all give em credit for
Fat transgirls and fat transboys are absolutely included in this!! Nonbinary people too!!!
Hey could you maybe reblog this part of post
really struggling right now. Ive always been fat except right after doing jenny craig from 4-6th grade. (yep I begged to do a diet like that while still a CHILD)
In my early 30s I had finally accepted living in the body I’ve got. Was finally happy in my skin. then I got pregnant again, lost the baby, got pregnant again and had gestational diabetes. I’ve gained even more weight, depression isn’t helping, and I have to go in for a prediabetes class today. I’m bitter that my family doesn’t have diabetes, everyone is fat and when I had found self love I feel like I suddenly got whomped with what society thinks fat people deserve. My cholesteral: fine. My blood pressure? low side of good, but probably diabetic or leaning towards it.
I can’t help feeling like now doctors are going to take away all the food I like just like my mom did when I was getting too fat as a child. fuck this.

Or lazy…
Or Desperate…
Or easy
or unhygienic!
forever relevant
or unhealthy
OR UNHEALTHY
Or your fucking joke
Concept: make more chubby characters who are not the butt of jokes or there to supply a token character
Concept: make more chubby characters who don’t become thin as part of their character development.
Concept: make chubby characters who love themselves as they are and refuse to change whatsoever
Make chubby characters that can walk and talk without getting winded and don’t complain about being hungry all the time
Make chubby characters who are the romantic lead of the story instead of the bff of the thin romantic lead.
damn dude….
Important!
I feel so mixed about this. I love that she was inspired by Divine and they want to honor that BUT there are never any complex interesting roles for fat women and so a fat woman who fucking owns her sexuality and knows she is beautiful and could choose another form magically if she wanted but chooses to be this amazing curvy goddess is something my fat happy self wants to see played by a woman (especially because fat bodies and drag queens are both often played for laughs with straight audiences). My fat self and my queer self are both REALLY worried that they are going to compromise the integrity of this character. Also drag queens are an inherent part of lgbtqa culture and we need rather desperately for villains to stop being queer coded until we have enough queer heroes to balance out. Otherwise we are still only seeing ourselves as characters that should be rooted out, defeated, subverted, or killed, which is no message to send our youth.
