I just realized I've never once heard that Jack Black, John Goodman, Josh Gad, John Favreau, John Candy, John Belushi, Chris Farley, or any of the other fat male celebrities are "promoting obesity." Not once in my life. That is almost solely reserved for fat woman.
You're right and you should say it.
I've only heard it about the ones who are actively doing so. But I also didn't hear any complaints that some of these male celebrities were promoting fatphobia when they lost weight, but Adele and Rebel Wilson, among others, had certain people throwing shade and accusing them of promoting hatred toward fat people.
The media coverage of Rebel Wilson's and Adele's weightloss was fatphobic, not their weightloss itself. Though, the way they themselves have discussed their weightloss can be considered fatphobic and was very alienating for some fans.
And there we have it.
Yes! And there we have some random dude attempting to discredit the lived experiences of a marginalized group he is not a part of. I'll be sure to add it to the trash pile 🤷♀️
Have you not looked at my photo? I currently weigh over 300 lbs. and it isn't muscle.
"Marginalized" my ass.
You're replying to a post specifically about the how fatphobia intersects with misogyny. The post is literally about a specific aspect of fatphobia that disproportionately effects fat women and your response is "yeah well they deserve it"
So, yeah, you aren't a part of the marginalized group this post is talking about and your reply is misogynistic.
I never said they deserved it you lying piece of shit.
"I've only heard it about the ones who are actively doing so."
Meaning you believe these women are "promoting obesity" so this specific aspect of fatphobia they experience is justified.
It's all coming off as very dismissive dude.
At what point did I imply any of it was justified, you delusional psychopath?
And besides, anyone with a good grasp on reality knows men aren’t given a pass for being fat. The reason men like the ones on the list don’t get told the same shit fat famous women get told is because they’re considered jokes. Them being fat is funny. A bit. Something to laugh at while they play their characters on screen, all of which also have them being fat made into a joke and mocked at every turn.
Fatphobia is not uniquely tied to misogyny. You just don’t consider being made into the butt of every joke to be fatphobic. At least when it’s done to a man.
The post is in no way saying men don't experience fatphobia. The amount of men replying to this thread saying the same thing about these men being the butt of the jokes in their careers is ridiculous. You're responding to deflect and speak over women.
I make a post saying "fat women experience fatphobia in this way" and the response from fat men is "fat men experience fatphobia too" which has nothing to do with what this post is about. Whether intentional or not, these responses are an attempt to center the conversation on men when the whole post was about intersectional fatphobia that effects women.
And if you guys actually cared about the fatphobia these men have faced in their lifetime, respond to the posts I've made about those men and men I didn't even list. But stop stop jumping on this post to talk about that. Or, better yet, make your own posts.
