Re: dunno

I totally get this! I totally, completely get this and I totally feel the same way. And it's hard to address, because on the one hand, I don't think and would never want to suggest that the stigma against fat people is anything close to the oppression that's experienced by minorities. They're fundamentally different phenomenon.

At the same time, I think the stigma is undeniably, crushingly real and unjustifiable and harmful, and I wish there were better ways to talk about that and address that, and how pervasive it is in society, even in circles and among people who consider themselves woke. And how invisible it is. It should be possible to talk about, and get people who aren't fat to take it seriously. It's very frustrating. Fat people deserve to see heroes and representation as much as anyone does. I don't know how to address it.

Oh, absolutely. It's not the same as the oppression experienced by minorities and I would never want anyone to take that away from this sort of discussion, you know?

It's just... can we also have fat people who are more than the butt of the joke, the dirty loser living in their mom's basement, or the fatty who just needs skinny friends to make them over? And, yeah, it's almost impossible to have a conversation about because it's so ingrained into so many attitudes. 'That person's fat because they're lazy' 'oh my god, that fat person's getting a burger, that's why they're fat' and so on and so forth. It's tiring.

And I think the most frustrating thing is that even people who aren't fat who agree with this in principle, they never think of it. They just don't notice the absence of fat people or the roles that fat people get slotted into when they do appear. It's invisible to them.
