Good luck losing weight if that's what you want to do. But I find it kind of depressing that just being overweight can cause someone to be seen as an "annoying Tumblr queen" for having dyed hair, while apparently a thin person with dyed hair isn't annoying. :/

[dani_phantasma]

It's just stereotypes really.

It's depressing but not surprising anymore.

[diet_poison]

depressing, and especially ironic considering it's Tumblr

[elaminator]

Yea, if OP wants to lose weight I wish them luck, but the rest of the secret kind of stumps me. I don't see why being overweight has anything to do with tumblr, or dyed hair, or why being overweight would be a 'disservice' to the character or why OP couldn't be beautiful and be overweight.

Like, I get that taste varies a lot, and I get that being thin is generally seen as more attractive and socially acceptable, but that wording gave me pause. (And made me a bit sad.)

I don't call 'troll' often (and I don't think this has to be a troll, I'm sure there are people who think this), but I do wonder if this secret was posted with the intention of causing wank.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah. I can't help but think that overweight people have some issue with self-control, which I admit is probably an unfair judgment... but having dyed hair implies being well-kempt to me.
It requires self care and making some effort, which is honestly something I appreciate on others.

That applies to overweight people as well, so I never got the negative "fat and dyed hair" stereotype.

[nyvz]

This. Le sigh.

[(Anonymous)]

What does dyed hair have to do with being overweight?

[(Anonymous)]

have a fun summer. don't ever change.

[(Anonymous)]

Your secret makes me sad, OP. You don't have to structure your life and your fun activities based on a preconceived notion of what other people might think of you. And fuck 'em if they do, seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

OT, but I really hate the term "losing weight". I think it should be "losing fat", because how much you weigh does not necessarily reflect how fat you are.

[(Anonymous)]

HAES?

I doubt dyed hair or being overweight is why they are annoying. Chances are they'd still be annoying even if they were conventionally attractive and thin.

If you fear you'll be seen as annoying with dyed hair, chances are you will be such irrespective of your weight.

[(Anonymous)]

I respect your resolve, OP, and I get where you're coming from. I really do believe you should do what will make you happy, and you deserve to be happy whether you're skinny or obese. But I understand not wanting to be associated with the whole HAES thing, and I understand why you feel dying your hair like that might inadvertently project a different image that the one you mean to project.

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone who calls you a "tumblr queen" because you're overweight and have dyed hair, are a bunch of edgy try-hard morons who aren't any better than the SJW they make fun of so often, and they don't deserve your attention.
But good luck on losing weight.

[cakemage]

Good luck on the weight loss! I know from current experience that it's not easy, but it's worth the struggle. Don't feel like you have to be thin in order to rock purple hair, though! I've been dyeing my hair all sorts of bright colors for years (it's currently purple, too) and have never regretted it (okay, except when I dyed it green, which just wasn't my color at all) no matter what my weight was. Who cares if there are annoying people who also dye their hair while overweight? Don't let your fear of being mistaken for them (which is unlikely, anyway) stop you from trying something new and fun!

[(Anonymous)]

I am so out of it. I have no idea what any of this means. I've been liking the various pastel and other hair colors I've been seeing folks wear lately. I wasn't aware they were making some kind of statement.

[(Anonymous)]

As somebody who never did what I wanted with my appearance because of self-hate over my weight, I would give this advice to people with similar issues: don't wait.

I regret all of the years I spent wallowing in the idea that being overweight meant I couldn't wear the clothes I liked, pierce myself in a way I liked, dye my hair a color I liked... I've become a lot happier now that I realize that you can paint what you want on a canvas no matter what the canvas looks like. I look better, too, because I'm not constantly on the edge of waiting to shed more pounds before I can put adoration and enthusiasm into my appearance.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry you're ugly.

[(Anonymous)]

This is just...super weird and depressing. :/ You really need to work on your self-esteem.

[kitelovesyou]

Ya know what, being that insecure that you have that kind of bullshit external excuse means you have some growing up to do and you still won't be happy with yourself if you do lose weight.

Just do what you want, whether that's lose weight, dye your hair, or not, whatever, and fuck the haters.

[(Anonymous)]

I just realised that "The Descendants" apparently refers to a Disney...show? I didn't know what it was when someone was talking about it recently. I thought maybe they were talking about the Clooney movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Good luck losing weight, as others said. But when I look at your attitude, you're not going to feel any better once you have. Your problems obviously lie in other areas and losing weight isn't going to make you the kind of happy you think it will. It's just a bandaid.

[(Anonymous)]

What is HAES? Plural of ho? (non-native English speaker and clueless here)

[(Anonymous)]

You don't want to look like someone who has self-esteem and believes they can be comfortable in their own skin and that they're worth self-care and feeling beautiful...?

Enjoy your self-shame then? Let us know how that works out for you. Meanwhile, I'm overweight and I'm going to go get purple hair because it's pretty.

It's a wig....

[(Anonymous)]

That's a lacefront wig.

Seriously, just buy a wig. Like that actress's dresser did.
If someone yells TUMBLR at you, then it's as simple as taking off the wig. No harm and long-lasting repercussions done to your real hair.
