#fatphobia

[duskypigeon]

confused why when i think fat people are hot, its a kink. but when people find skinny people hot, its normal...??

[doicreep-youout]

"im not fatphobic!"

yet you make me wonder what would happen if you didn't like me.

yet you say 'why are ppl fetishing (character)??' when they're DRAWN fat.

yet you ask 'why do they always make (character) fat?'.

yet you're willing to call the person that you said looked like me ugly.

yet you only point out a person's weight.

yet you make me feel annoyed when you bring up a characters weight.

Many BBW's pass the "big" part but fail at the "beautiful" part.

[thisis--ableism]

ableism (and probably fatphobia too) is that I've been under weight for most of my life no matter what I do/eat but whenever I bring up my concerns with doctors they tell me I'm just "lucky" and won't do any sort of testing

This is ableism and fatphobia (as i'm assuming they think you being underweight rather than over is a "good thing").

Unsolicited bellypovs2 lore drop: My mother worked as an RN her entire life, in various hospitals in Haiti and South Florida. Near the end of her career she suffered a long-term wrist injury while assisting the transport of a 500 lb bariatric patient. Forced her out of the ICU (where she thrived) and into a desk job in Case Management. This was maybe... 7 or 8 years ago. Back when I gobbled up feedist porn and felt ashamed of it, in the shadows."Obese patients are burdens to the healthcare system & healthcare staff, I really shouldn't support people gaining weight on purpose", I thought."I'm so attracted to fatness, but... I shouldn't like this."

Well... my attraction to fat bodies never left me. I embraced feedism - ALMOST. To accept it 100%, some reflection of my own biases was required. Why did my blame automatically fall on the fat patient for my mother's injury? Maybe transport protocol fell short somewhere along the line. Maybe my own mother pushed herself too hard and didn't admit it to me. No clue!! Lol I wasn't there. Anyways, all this to say: being a feedist means doing the work to unravel the subconscious fatphobia, that seeps out from society and into the body. Treating fat people with dignity and respect before the kink even comes into question. Acknowledging fatness as morally neutral. Huge lesson learned. I am flawed & continue to learn every fucking day <3
