Hi I've been waiting for someone to ask but since no one will I will! How am I supposed to even be slightly okay with being fat if every single thing in media says the opposite? I'll actually start to feel okay and pretty and worth something and then I turn on a tv. But should I just give up all tv all music? Please help thanks
Donot be discouraged, my friend. Actually, we get this question a lot! its notas… boldly asked as you have though.. but we do get quite a few questionsabout how one is meant to find their worth despite being told forever that howthey are isnt okay. Ive been wanting to tackle this question more clearly for a while now. The media has been giving unreachablestandards of beauty for decades now. Unless you’re a certain height, weight,skin tone, have a certain shade on your teeth and you keep yourself up toimmense status of grooming, you are NOT beautiful. Heaven forbid that you’re a person of color, or you decide not to shave thisweek. Holy shit, you broke a nail? talk about NOT being perfect. Whats this?You passed gas? YOU HEATHEN!! D8<
Because of this, mainstream media does not and cannot representthe billions of people on Earth. There are too many factors [including weight ], that make up the diversity of the human race.
We’re made up of millions of different genetic codes, social experiences and beliefs . Unfathomable combinations! Luckily, with the help of the internet, people are finding their voice. We have youtube channels, blogs,facebook pages, and articles that are made by and for people who do not fit themedia’s standards of beauty.. and because of that we’re finding a more truerepresentation that no one can take away. And if youcant find it, you have the power to make it!
We’re starting to erase the line mainstream media has made for us. YOU define your worth. Nobody else can do that foryou.
So! With society’s exaggerated and downright hard-to-achieve expectations and knowing the reality of the human race, it’s easier to find the hope and beauty within yourself. Do you think so? - Mod Dom
I always feel really weird about the word "fat" because, being fat myself, I've never minded calling myself that? It's like... it describes who I am and I accept it. I call myself fat all the time and, more often then not, people will automatically try and console me? Saying "you're not fat just chubby!" "What, don't say that about yourself!!" And I... don't know what to do? I know these people are trying to be nice, but I don't know how to explain to them fat is not negative?
Society has this weird feeling about the word fat. They always associate fat with being negative. And while they might not have bad intentions, I think a lot of people never even thought of seeing fat in a good light. Also, I dont like how there’s like.. a level acceptance for fat? Like, you can be chubby! But heaven forbid you’re FAT!! D8< If you feel comfortable , open up the conversation. If you see yourself is fat, call yourself fat. If someone tries to correct you, you correct them. “No, I’m fat. Is that a problem?” “ Whats wrong for me calling myself fat? Do you see fat people as something bad? “ And, my favorite: “Did I studder?” Fighting fatphobia starts in your own neighborhood... Your own circle of friends and family. If you feel comfortable, make ripples and have people question the things they do. - Mod Dom
OMG please please please don't let them fuck this up don't let them fuck this up
If anybody ever calls you a whale calmly and firmly remind them that whales are beautiful and majestic creatures of the deep that people pay to go on tours just to have some small chance of seeing and that there are at least two famous stories involving ferocious and terrifying whales
and while they are processing this wonderful and profound wisdom you have just generously imparted on them kick them in the shins for being a literal flaming pile of fatphobic dog shit
