Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

... You're joking, right? You are seriously joking, right?

Brb just gonna go update my friends and alert them that after years of trying to lose weight the solution is "just become thin."

And no, "society" will not "always mock fat people" because it's "survival instinct." People mocking other people for what they look like isn't "natural," it's assholery.

I'm a person with genetic predisposition to obesity. I have hormonal problems, too. It took 5 years to stop being fat, but it's all about effort and will power. I exercise everyday and eat adequate food to keep myself fit and healthy. I'm also doing better than ever in college, the quality diet and exercise do wonders for your brain and concentration.

So much for being "shallow".

What are you waiting for, a gold star?

I didn't say you were shallow. When did I say shallow?

It took 5 years to stop being fat

That's great! So... for five years people need to stop doing something they enjoy doing because they're "too fat" for it? Despite the fact that most of the cosplayers the OP is probably talking about don't wear revealing outfits.

And now that you're at a healthy weight, do you go around mocking people who aren't? Sorry, but if you do, I don't care if you used to be fat and worked hard not to be. You are still, when making fun of people about their appearance and making them feel horrible about themselves for no good reason, being an asshole. And if you don't, I don't see what your flak is. I'm not saying that people who are at an unhealthy weight shouldn't try to drop the extra weight, I'm saying that people who mock them are being jerks. Because it's entirely unnecessary and all it does is make the person feel bad about themselves, and that = assholery. I'm sorry, but it does.

True, generalizations are horrible. Support will help them with their problem more than mocking them.

*nods* I think I'm mostly upset with this secret because I have three friends who feel absolutely hideous whenever they cosplay. One of them has been trying to lose weight for quite a while now, because she has horrible self-esteem when it comes to her appearance, and she knows that it's causing her health problems. She cosplayed like... once, as Haruhi from Ouran, in the boys' uniform, which is pretty much the most tasteful outfit ever because lol layers. Attitudes like the one put forth in the secret have helped convinced her that she can never do that again, despite having a lot of fun with it, until she loses all that weight. That makes me really sad, that it's like... become a fandom-regulated hobby or something.

What a shame. :/ I'm 232 pounds myself, slowly but surely losing it at the moment, and I've been cosplaying since 2003 when I was even bigger. I'm getting ready to do a Haruhi as well.
Hell, if your friend is littler than I am, tell her to dress up and find me at a convention. I'll take the attention off of her for her and make her feel more comfortable. XD
Cosplay is all about having a good time with your friends. Sometimes I feel a twinge of sorrow as I look at picture of myself in my costumes and think about how much better I would look if I was skinnier. But you know, you can't let other people's expectations and judgements of you define your life or stop you from doing what you enjoy!

Like Dr. Seuss said, "Do what you want and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

I'm 232 pounds myself, slowly but surely losing it at the moment, and I've been cosplaying since 2003 when I was even bigger. I'm getting ready to do a Haruhi as well.

Good on you for cosplaying anyway, and not waiting til you're nebulously 'thin enough'. That's the other thing the haters don't really get - a currently fat person might be a fat person who has lost fifty pounds already, or a fat person committed to improving their health, etc etc. To look at any given fat person and pity them for being SO ugly and SO unhealthy is stupid - for all you know, that person is actively working out and training for a marathon. A single day at a convention says nothing about their life.

Exactly! :) Who I am and what I go after cannot be defined on one singular day.
People seem to think you're snarfing doritos (I haven't touched chips in a long time now) and chugging soda (I hadn't had any for 6 months before yesterday) if you're fat. They don't seem to consider that you might just be working on that road towards a thinner and healthier you. :)

That makes me really sad, that it's like... become a fandom-regulated hobby or something.

Yes - this is why I bother to respond to these kinds of moronic secrets at all. I want people to know that there are those of us out there who remember when dressing up at a convention was celebrated simply because you were geeky enough to DO it. For me, if you're cosplaying from my fandom? I WILL take your picture no matter how bad the costume itself is, because you are representing as a fellow fan, and THAT excites me.
