i can’t believe i’m having to explain this, but no one actually hates thin bodies in a meaningful structural way. i don’t think individual bodyshaming of any kind is anything but cruel. the fact that u r taking a few hundred complete strangers talking abt their experiences w their fatness being linked to moral failing and like, countless observable patterns of disenfranchisement, structured by history, and made it about u, as a thin person, that says more abt you then it does about anyone else. the fact that ur putting weight shaming on a sliding scale where being asked if ur anorexic as a teenager, fucked as that is, is equivalent to existing as fat? that’s an issue. this is ur issue, and i don’t appreciate u making it mine. like, is this not exactly what all of us r talking abt? u r the person we r making fun of! and it’s not bc ur body or ur thinness is any way wrong or ugly? it’s bc, time after time after time, if fat ppl try to take literally any grievance w the way their bodies hav been used as social personal institutional punching bags, someone who will categorically! essentially! nvr understand what thats like! has to come in and say something abt how their pain is equivalent when we weren’t even having that conversation. why do so many thin ppl feel like aligning their own individual bodytrauma w ours is like, a good way to build empathy? bc it isn’t! it’s a fucking joke! n this response is sooo on trend, if uve dealt w the imposed consequences of living while fat, u know it all too well! body trauma is incomparable by nature, n the experience of an individual is always going to important, and yes, yr pain abt ur body deserves to be listened to, but why does it have to be by us? why does ur pain have to be the center of this too? the difference is, whatever shit u might face for being “too thin” is never going to be equivalent for the shit ppl get for being fat on a categorical scale. we may have a lot in common in the way we handle our bodies, but odds are, if ur thin! u will receive better medical care, u won’t ever be denied a job bc of ur weight, if you develop an eating disorder, you will receive sufficient treatment, you will b less likely to commit suicide, ull have a wider dating pool, you’ll be less lonely, access to more jobs. ppl will interact with u in an entirely different way, bc ur thinness is seen as a moral success. do u know how many studies have been done on the dehumanization of fat people? the racial origins of fat stigma? why did u need to say this? why did u need to make a bunch of ppl having clearly very personal, clearly very painful causal grievance into u scolding me for not being “body positive” enough? do u not see how self centered this kind of response is? do u genuinely not see it? do u know how lonely and alienated this makes us feel? has always made us feel?
