This is Thin Privilege

shakethecobwebs:drunkpalindrome:shakethecobwebs:aboyincerise:drunkpalindrome:Am I just too fat to look cute 😂😩You look adorable?!Uh. What part of you is fat exactly? And before you answer - don’t. I don’t want to hear it. 

Fuck oooooff and let me hate myself in peace lol

You’re allowed to hate yourself all you want, and from where I’m sitting, there are plenty of things to hate about you. But your lack of redeemable qualities doesn’t exist because of bodies like mine, so if you need to talk about how shitty you are, find some different reasons. Fat people are not your excuse. Don’t try to implicate us in your insecurities, because those insecurities are all yours.

Great pushback against thin people using “fat” as a catch-all pejorative to hate on themselves. To the OP and folks like her: stop using the description of my body as some representation of all things bad about yourself. I do not exist to serve as the symbolic bludgeon of your insecurities. And the more you keep using the description of my body this way, the more people like me are seen by society as all the bad things you’d have us represent. Maybe you didn’t think of this when you were having your moment in the mirror, but prejudice against fat people is killing us. I doubt you would be worse for wear if you found another way to express your fear, angst, and self-hatred. -ATL
