#fandom fatphobia

[sunanthrope]

If your "redesign" of a fat character makes them skinny, you are fatphobic, end of fucking story.

If you can't draw fat people then LEARN to draw fat people. You absolute fuck. "Its just my redesign!!!" Is NOT an excuse. If there is ONE canonically fat character and you can't even make her fat then you have a fucking problem and that problem is called fatphobia. Zero excuse. Fuck you.

I hope your favorite white boy gets redesigned to be fat, not after the story is done so you don't have to care, he's not 'just a little chubby' either, he's fat as shit, this is a threat and an improvement.

'Fewer thin characters in media'? WRONG! MORE THIN CHARACTERS!

-except the thin characters are miserable. They don't eat because the story is so stressful, they're exhausted and achy and hungry all the time, and then the plot resolves, and BAM! They start eating, and they put on weight like crazy, and they’re HAPPY. Their joints don't hurt as much, they smile more, they aren't cold all the time, they feel happy and safe and a million times better than they ever were being thin. Have more thin characters that demonstrate to people that you can be happier fat than skinny!!! Have characters that show that being fat is good, that it’s okay and good to gain weight, that overweight is a million times better than being underweight!! Give that thin character heart problems from malnourishment and that fat character peak health!!! Make characters that gain weight from medications, from finally feeling safe, from having stable food!!! MORE FAT CHATACTERS, AND MORE CHARACTERS THAT START OUT SKINNY OR MUSCULAR BUT END UP WITH MEAT ON THEIR BONES!!!

i wish fat cosplayers got more respect. (& admiration but that is too much to ask i'm afraid)

i'm literally anxious as fuck to go to the convention on saturday not because of anxiety, but because i'm fat and cosplaying. i will be prone to panic attacks just because im fat and in a costume. like what is this. i miss when i just had regualr anxiety instead of this. skinny ppl are allowed to wear what they want and cosplay what they want no matter how skimpy, but as soon as a fat person cosplays the same, its disgusting, laughable, etc. i really dont get it. let people cosplay that sexy anime character no matter how they look. let people cosplay no matter how they look, period.

cringe is dead unless a fat person cosplays a (skinny) character or is in skimpy clothing/cosplay. "how dare you feel confident????!!!" ass behavior from others.

anyway, shoutout to fat cosplayers 🫶🫶

Again, I've only seen Fatgum drawn properly fat enough to achieve the egg shape and be properly protected everywhere by like 3 artists.

If you ain't drawing Fatgum with an apron, bingo wings, and no neck at all? Then you aint drawing fighting fit Fatgum fat enough. And you need to get yer shit together and make that man fatter.

Funny how *everyone* was licking Neil's boots and pretending Good Omens had good nonbinary representation and that it would enbyphobic to say that the show was queerbaiting and that "wow no one appreciates nonbinary representation".........and now that there's an actual show popular on Tumblr with an actual nonbinary character played by an actual nonbinary actor......and now these same fuckers are absolutely fanning over two conventionally attractive cisgays and forgetting the other queer characters in the show, including a nonbinary character and their partner, a fat gay man and an effeminate gay man, and literally any other character, regardless of whether they're queer or not, who are quite frankly far more groundbreaking representation than the couple that's literally crafted to appeal to Tumblr fandom culture.

Not to mention the obvious racism in literally no fan edits or appreciation or anything for the numerous characters of colour, who each have unique stories and complex characterizations to appreciate.

Obviously Our Flag Means Death isn't perfect, but GODDAMN you all are so fucking predictable and annoying.

I’m not trying to start discourse but I’m unfollowing anyone who posts/reblogs art of skinny Glimmer, or Mermista, or Spinnerella. It’s really not that hard not to erase plus sized women. Draw their bodies the way they’re drawn in the show. If I see one more piece of art of Glimmer with a teeny tiny waist and wide hips I’m gonna lose my shit.
