did you message her or comment on her picture saying that? asked by muuzz
70milesaway: message (it literally looked like a whale im sorry but im serious, she was in a bath n all)
———————————————————————————————————
My ask response:
Holy shit, fat people take baths? YOU DON’T SAY. Funny how you fat shaming fuckers will stereotype fat people as smelly and unclean but god forbid you see a picture of a fat person bathing themselves.
Once upon a time, there was a little princess. This little princess had crimson hair with a bright white streak that flowed down one side of her head like a waterfall. She lived in a dreary wasteland that was flooded with sad, hopeless people. You see, a curse was set over the land, hundreds of years ago. The curse said that everyone was to be unhappy, until they discovered the true meaning of life.
Oh, people searched for the meaning, of course. Historians scoured their books and papers. Archaeologists dug until their arms grew weary. Engineers looked into their machines until nothing made sense. Neighbors asked neighbors, students asked professors, astronomers asked the stars. No one could find the meaning.
But, the little princess knew the answer! She lived in a tall tower, away from everyone who was sad. When she would peek from her window, the people below would throw rocks at her, and would shout about how she was fat and unlovable. But she knew they were wrong. She was fat, of course, but she liked that! And unlovable, she was not. You see, she knew they were cursed, doomed to be eternally unhappy, and that they wouldn’t be able to break that curse by trying to make her succumb to it as well.
So, the little princess wrote messages on pieces of parchment paper, and let them fall from her window into the people’s hands. She told the people the answer to the curse: love yourselves and you’ll find true happiness.
Some people laughed at her. Some people refused to listen altogether. But those who did listen, those who took a chance, had noticed that their lives started to change. They were able to smile again, their lives were full of vibrant colors and delicious smells that they had never dreamed of before, and, well - the curse had been lifted for them!
The little princess was so happy. She, and others, could see that the key to happiness was not through evil. And even though some other people had not quite accepted that yet, she knew that they would come around eventually. And, even if they didn’t, there was still hope among the people who had accepted it.
The end.
P.S. Please stay 70milesaway from me, you rude piece of shit.
hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
uhhh no. there is nothing wrong with being curvy, but when you’re obese and have health problems, it is no longer body positivity. i am all for being proud of your body, but not to the point when it risks your life because of heart problems, joint problems, etc. fuck this post.
Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP.
A great example of how fat acceptance will not win fat rights through the channel of “body positivity.”
When you include a privileged group in an activist space they have an incentive to stratify the group to privilege them.
Fuck thin people in fat acceptance spaces. You do not get to dictate terms. You should be asking fat people what’s what, and/or just shutting the fuck up for once.
The first rule of ALLY CLUB: You do not talk in ALLY CLUB.
The second rule of ALLY CLUB: You DO NOT TALK in ALLY CLUB.
The third rule of ALLY CLUB: If a marginalized person says STOP, the argument is over.
The fourth rule of ALLY CLUB: Ganging up on marginalized people and/or their blogs with a bunch of your privileged buddies means you’re out of ALLY CLUB. If marginalized people come after you in droves? YOU’VE FUCKED UP. APOLOGIZE. DON’T EXPECT TO BE FORGIVEN.
The fifth rule of ALLY CLUB: If you ping a bunch of marginalized people with the same bullshit “honest question, guise!” then you’re out of ALLY CLUB and automatically inducted into TROLL CLUB.
The sixth rule of ALLY CLUB: No “what about me,” no “but privileged people don’t have perfect lives, either.”
The seventh rule of ALLY CLUB: If you fuck with marginalized people you do not get to say when the argument is over. It’s over when the marginalized people you fucked with say it’s over.
The eighth rule of ALLY CLUB: If this is your first time reading a social justice blog run by a certain group of marginalized people, DO NOT SUBMIT SHIT.

I fucking love ATL and TITP. This is a good example why.
You can’t be serious -.- if you’re to fat to go to school they should just euthanize the kid…
Wtf

“Devon Carrow’s life-threatening allergies don’t allow him to go to school. But the 4-foot-tall robot with a wireless video hookup gives him the school experience remotely, allowing him to participate in class, stroll through the hallways, hang out at recess and even take to the auditorium stage when there’s a show.”
I tried to not reblog this but I keep reading the first post and I just want to fucking cry. Because there are people out there who think like that. That fat people aren’t worth the life they’re living. That we should all just die.
Thin people say they get hated as much as fat people. But thin people just get told to eat more.
We get told to kill ourselves.
Fat hate, brought to you by “lulz-time.”
Lulz indeed. What a disgusting human being.
I am so ticked that I am learning about this awesome use of assistive technology on a post where somebody misappropriated it to make a spiteful bit of fat hate.
Brilliant. Personally I hold idiots who like to splash their fat hate all over anything thatmight remotely involve fat people (Which this, patently, DOES NOT), down there with geniuses who had no idea that the Titanic sinking actually happened. Or those shining examples who are completely unaware that North Korea had nothing to do with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Now, I could be wrong. Maybe the Kid with AN AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION is fat. But, being human, I’m not likely to think less of the child if he or she is. Mainly because I’m aware that this child? IS ALSO A HUMAN BEING. The asshat spouting fat hate at a child who’s likely trying to engage the world in the best way he or she can? Clearly, that asshat’s humanity remains a question.The fact that this fucking news link says “Obese 2nd grader” rather than the TRUE FUCKIN REASON FOR HIS NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL shows fat hatred.
This kid could die if exposed because of his fuckin allergies, and all they care about is HIS WEIGHT.
But weight loss cures everything, apparently, including fucking AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

1) in the school cafeteria, I was told if I wanted half a portion. Keep in mind I don’t have a huge appetite anyway. 2) when I asked if a dress had other sizes the shopkeeper would give me an up and down look and say ‘do you want it for yourself’ with resentment and disgust (numerous times) 3) Once in a public place a woman told me I should drink my own urine and that would make my metabolis work faster 4) my mother checked out my skinny sister in shorts and cried saying omg do I actually have..
…a beautiful skinny daughter. I lost hope after you 5) when my sister gained weight she told us ‘we were shameful and why couldn’t we be like all the other pretty normal girls.’ 6) I was told my physical weakness was cause all fat people are weak’ 7)my aunt told me I should lose weight cause people would lose their appetite in the cafeteria with me around 8)my friend, around mu size was bullied by her dad who bought her size 2 chanel dresses like ‘be this size’ (lagerfeld must be proud)…
10) I was told I didn’t look my age cause I was fat 11) I was told there is no point wearing pretty things cause I’m fat 12) I was told I should never have colourful stockings on cause I’m fat. 13) a waiter giggled ‘are you on a diet’ when I ordered a salad 14) another waiter openly said ‘maybe you should eat less’ when I ordered as much as an ice cream cone. A lot more happened and i repeat I wasn’t really that fat. if you are telling me thin privilege does not exist…
….where a pregnant woman is bullied for being ‘fat’ (when she isn’t), where people can actually call heidi klum fat. Where there were claims that a woman actually FAKED HER PREGNANCY TO STAY SKINNY and actually had people believe that. Well honey yes, thin privilege does exist.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
It is pathetic. WOW, SOME OF US DON’T HATE OURSELVES OR EACH OTHER FOR OUR WEIGHT? SHIT, BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. FIB TO THE FUCKING RESCUE, MAKING SURE FAT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE KNOW HOW HORRIBLY DISGUSTING AND USELESS THEY ARE.
fib:
i should have picked a day where i did not have to go out of the house to anger tumblr fat advocators slash gang of the overweight epidemic or w/e they are
i’m afraid i can not stick around to read all the niceties you share about me
i have to soon go do my duty at the wildlife rehabilitation center although as i get to cuddle baby critters i will uh probably not think of you at all actually
Oh, fun! I did wildlife rehab. But I guess it doesn’t matter cuz I’m just a fatty.
Hey fuckface, try educating yourself before vomiting bullshit. It makes you look considerably less stupid.
Such powerful words… I have goosebumps
Think about this next time you send anon hate trolls, seriously.
