Actually I love myself and my body deeply and dearly. Your blog is literally in all of the tags of chubby people trying to find positive representation. Its gross to fetishize us. Not just think we are attractive, I think fat people are beautiful and hot. But just like I think it’s fucked up for people to fetishize me because im black, it’s also fucked up to fetishize me for being fat. I love my body but blogs like yours are making literally every tag for chubby people impossible to navigate.
I think you’re being a real self-important asshole here but you do bring up some interesting stuff and I wanna discuss.
First of all, tags! I really actually do try to keep my art out of main tags for characters/ships/etc. What I usually do is like idk 6-10 kink specific tags (chubby [character], chubby kink, weight gain, etc) or miscellaneous tags first. Then I’ll go and tag characters, fandoms, ships etc mostly for blog organization but also? I DO actually want people to find my art, if they’re looking for it. I’m not sure how Tumblr works now, but it used to be that those first 5 tags were the only ones where the post in question would actually show. Everything after was only searchable on op’s blog.
Things got more complicated when they implemented search, so if what you mean is that you’re using the search function, that’s just going to literally show you EVERYTHING. There is no filter for that so you’re kind of taking your chances at that point I hate to break it to you.
But I don’t actually WANT to shove kink in people’s faces in particular, like I’m all for responsible tagging. The thing is that I thought I was kind of doing that already lol. I don’t try to use main tags, I provide nice handy blockable tags up front, and I kind of figured that was fine. If what you say is true and my posts ARE showing in like body posi tags for some fucking reason, I would like to know how to avoid that lol.
But also, It’s been a few uhhh years since I’ve even posted art here, so I don’t know how that could even be possible, actually. I guess it depends on what the tags are, because I’m afraid that if the tags you’re looking in are things like “chubby [character]” like YEAH it’s overrun with kink shit because that’s literally the tag we use! Idk colloquially, chubby![x] is usually what’s used for fat kink shorthand in fandom spaces. Perhaps that’s an oversight on our part and there’s something better we could be using but? I just don’t know.
Anyway the thing is that this is literally not FOR you. I know Tumblr is just sort of like that, as a platform, where you can’t really have your own private space, but I don’t WANT you here.
And It’s not SUPPOSED to be representation. I’m not like a network exec approving shit for millions to see on tv, this is like fully erotica that I am posting on my own blog for fun!! I’m not pretending it’s anything else.
It’s interesting because you said something like it’s fucked up for people to fetishize ME for being fat, like. Yeah, it is, but we’re not actually talking about you. We’re talking about, in this case, DRAWINGS of like fictional characters and celebrities, mostly. I’m NOT fetishizing you (or all fat people at once).
You might be surprised to know that a LOT of fat people, in real life, enthusiastically participate in this kink, and enjoy it very much! Real fat people with agency who choose this because it’s fun and they like it! Myself included! There’s nothing inherently wrong with a fat person being gluttonous on purpose, or gaining weight on purpose, or fattening up a consenting partner on purpose. Yes, obviously, you can make the argument that the artist chose this path for these particular characters and you’re correct lol. But, again, it’s not MEANT to be representation for all fat people. I’m not putting a stereotypical slobby fat character in a movie. It’s kink porn for adults who like that sort of thing, who experience sex and romance in a very particular way, who hopefully understand that what’s being depicted is not intended to degrade fat people as a whole, or, in my case, even the character being depicted! I don’t think of it as degradation at all.
I get why you think it’s gross and it makes you upset and you don’t want to see it but like take responsibility for your own shit and block me instead of lurking around here and sending me anon hate using a bunch of Purity Buzzwords like you think you’re gonna scare the kink out of me (you’re not)
