[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I am so, SO jealous of Felicia Day sometimes.

I'm like her stupider twin. I'm her age. I have red hair. I play the violin just as well (and could have been a professional if I'd wanted it). I am theatrical, super-funny, super-nerdy and even make my own videos like her. But I'm going to be a nobody forever because I'm obese and not pretty and I don't know Joss Whedon and I don't live in L.A.

Boo.

Try not being obese. You'd be amazed what that does for the pretty and for people recognizing how funny/nerdy you are.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, because not being obese is just that easy

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
As someone who used to be obese? It's easier than you think.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
For some people yes, for some people no. Despite what media tries to tell us, not all fat people are fat just because they're lazy and eat too much. That's definitely a problem for a lot of people (including a lot of skinny people), but it's entirely possible to have healthy habits and still be fat. That's really hard for some people to believe, but it's true, and there have been scientific studies done to prove it.

If you already have healthy habits and you're still obese, what are you supposed to do? Starve yourself? Exercise a dangerous amount? Even if you don't have healthy habits and you change that, you still might not lose an amount of weight large enough to be "skinny". I lost 50 pounds. I'm still obese. I'm also healthier now then when I was eating worse and exercising less. But I'm still fat. And I'm probably not going to lose any more weight at a significant level unless I drastically reduce caloric intake or increase exercise more, and right now I'm at a level that's healthy. My habits are healthy, my blood work is healthy...why should I risk my health pushing past the healthy limits of diet and exercise just to be skinny?

Lets be honest, the amount of people who are obese 100% out of their control are very, VERY few. A lot of people have issues because of medications, or diseases, or injuries, or because of whatever else. But they still have some agency over it. Doesn't mean it's easy, but it kind of annoys me when people say there's this huge percent of the population that CAN'T do anything about it. It just creates this atmosphere of being content with not trying anymore. People should remain motivated, even if they don't get slimmer, because they're still getting healthier.

No one should be shamed for their bodies, and I think the media needs to start talking about HEALTH, not size. Showcase men and women who are very healthy and active, but in all types of bodies.

You had the surgery, huh?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You do understand that if it were "that easy," then no one would be obese, right? People generally don't choose to take the difficult path.

Jesus christ, I just can't even.

Look, fat people pretty much KNOW that scientifically, yes - eat less/move more is what "works." It would stand to reason, then, that if that equation was the only one determining a person's weight and health, we'd all be fucking supermodels. And yet, the obesity rate continues to increase yearly.

Yeah, please - go right ahead with your whole, "that's because fat people are too lazy/depressed/greedy/etc." speech, too.

Fuck you, you fucking bigot.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, go stuff your face fatass

Different anon

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, put a lid on it. I'm fat and I say the anon above is no such thing. An insensitive boor and a jackass, maybe, but that's not the same thing as bigotry.

Fat people are not some poor oppressed minority, we're just fat people. Grow the hell up, quit drinking the SJW kool-aid, take some goddamn responsibility and lose weight, or live with it.

Also, people who can't think of a better retort than 'Fuck off,' 'Fuck you' or 'Go fuck yourself' and who throw words like 'bigot' around at the drop of a hat are contemptible idiots.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Try going and fucking yourself. As someone whose weight problems are caused by medical issues, it's really offensive when people go "lol just lose 50 pounds it's not hard lol". Yeah, it IS hard for some of us.

OP: sight unseen, you're beautiful.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Try not being an asshole.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-30 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, hihartnfics, you've already brought your self-hatred to f!s once (that I've seen), and it was gross then too. Get some help. I understand you are disgusted with yourself for ever having been "one of those fatties", but generalizing from your experience just makes you a butthurt 13-year-old who misses cheeseburgers. Stop.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Obese doesn't equal not pretty.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
How about obese =/= sexually attractive, except to kinky people?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
How about stop being fatphobic. Plenty of people find fat people attractive. We have sex and everything. I know, mind blowing.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
plenty

Name five people that people have actually heard of.

Let's just say that I sympathize with what Olympic weightlifter Sarah Robles is going through.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
NA

agreed.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Sarah Robles is not unhealthy though. Most of the whiners around here couldn't lift the damn bar, let alone strap weights on it.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on who you are and the type of person you find attractive. Oh, but that's right, admitting that you don't find fat attractive makes you a horrible, horrible person.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You personally not finding fat attractive doesn't make you a horrible person.

If you automatically assume that most people find fat ugly and only kinky people would find fat attractive because fat people are obviously weird and liking them is weird, then yeah, you're kind of a dick.

Personal preference is fine. If you get shit for that, I'm sorry. But if you act like your personal preference has to be everyone else's, or you feel the need to make your opinion known by talking about how fucking ugly fatties are when you could just say nothing, then, again, you're kind of a dick.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Not all of us hit the big time.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
IDT she's that talented, tbh. You could probably do better.
